Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

The Roundabout Formula

By Gil on Thursday, May 24, 2007

Hey kids,

Today I'm going to show you how to create a Roundabout Revival! Ready?

STEP 1: Take an old, aging, dated show. The kind you couldn't revive while still being taken seriously.
Examples: Pajama Game, The Apple Tree, 110 in the Shade.
STEP 2: Find a big star. It could be a big Theatre star, a big Tony winner, a Television star or a well-known recording artist.
Examples: Harry Connick Jr., Chenoweth, Audra McDonald.
STEP 3: Slap together and bake half-way.
STEP 4: Put on Broadway for a limited run. Hope it extends indefinitely so that you have something to fill up your third Broadway theater.
