Today I uploaded a new script file to Broadway Abridged. I sorta had to remind myself how to do it. For some reason I pretty much didn't abridge the entire 2006 season. But now, I begin again.

Go see Spring Awakening. Not a "must see", but a "highly highly recommended". The next rent? What the hell does that mean? I haven't read the reviews yet so I don't know whether the reviewers really are saying that or not, or whether that's the hype machine talking. But I really enjoyed it and I want to see it again. This time in the on-stage seats, and not just because I want a cast member holding a microphone to sit next to me.

Y'know, Jonathan Groff came to a performance of Oedipus to see Laura and I talked to him for a minute or two. It wasn't until later on that I realized why his name and face seemed so familiar. Damn.

So, if you only read my Abridges, you'd believe I hate every show. Which is not true. So I'm going to start treating this front page like a real blog. I've been meaning to set up my own theatre blog for awhile and hey, this is a good place. I now have commenting and an RSS Feed.

Here I'll have have snippets of interesting Theatre news and random thoughts, because sometimes a couple of the meanies on BroadwayWorld and AllThatChat take everything so personally it makes me want to cry.

So today's THEATRE THOUGHT:

• Really? A.C. Slater is playing Bloom in Producers? HOW?!? Tony Danza sorta makes sense for Bialystock, but next to a nebbishy A.C. Slater?
