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.

Guys & Dolls Revival

Says Riedel:

Producers for the upcoming Broadway revival of "Guys and Dolls" are pursuing Debra Messing (Adelaide), Patrick Wilson (Sky), Anne Hathaway (Sarah) and possibly John C. Reilly (Nathan). Sources say there's a 50-50 chance that cast will be locked up for a spring opening of the musical, which will be directed by Michael Grandage ("Frost/Nixon").

Would love to see Debra Messing in this. I've watched very little Will & Grace, but earlier this year she was at the Shakespeare on Broadway playing the lead in As You Like it, and she was fantastic.

Oh right, snarky: THANK GOD THEY'RE REVIVING GUYS AND DOLLS AGAIN! I COULDN'T FIND A PRODUCTION ANYWHERE!

Gerard Alesandrini said it best, "When you see a show light a theatre aglow, you can bet that it's probably 'Guys and Dolls'."
