What I Saw This Year - Broadway Abridged

To give you an idea of how many shows I didn't Abridge, below is every show I saw this year.

I've italicized the ones I really should have made shorts of, but was too ~~lazy~~ busy to have posted yet. The ones I should have posted full-length abridges of are in bold. My new year's resolution is not so much to post more full-length abridges--because only so many warrant them--but to at least start doing more shorts.

Jan 5: Spring Awakening
Feb 7: Coast of Utopia Part 3
Feb 8: Follies @ Encores
Feb 12: Evil Dead the Musical
Mar 8: Pirates of Penzance @ NYC Opera

If it's any consolation, right now I have 2 1/2 normal-length abridges that I've written that I just have to edit before posting. I promise at least one of them posted before the year is out.

Are you really gonna do Avenue Q? I hope you have a good angle for that one, it must be hard.

No.I even promised Jeff Marx himself once that I would do it. And the answer is still no.No way.

Is Rent going to finally surface soon?

Is there a way for you to organize your shorts and add them to the navigation menu? Like I ~ Megan

That one's not even a short. That was just a blog entry. And the only one of those I did, I think.

I know you didn't see it, but I still think you should do one of The Pirate Queen. Ohhh, the Riverdancing.... and the Legolas lookalike.... Claire.
