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.

Randy Quad is in a musical?

So, musicals coming out this fall:

Little Mermaid, the Movie Adaptation
Young Frankenstein, the Movie Adaptation
"Lone Star Love"???

Somehow the makers of #3 have managed to do a wonderful job keeping this show's existence a total secret! It's a Western Adaptation of Merry Wives that apparently played off-Broadway a few years back for long enough for you to blink. It could be good for all I know. But tell me, does this publicity photo make you actually want to run out and buy tickets?

Thought not. Oh, poor "nothing but raw talent"ed Randy Quaid. Whoever the heck you are. Hope you can sing. Shame nobody's heard of the show, or else we might care about Reidel's newest blather.

P.S. Does anybody know how to get not-$75-0r-more- tickets to Rock-en-Rolle?
[Edit: Well, I found $52 tickets (code RRTCE65), so it's a start.]
P.P.S. KING LEAR WITH SIR IAN MCKELLAN WAS AWESOME.
