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.

August: Osage Country: Abridged

Cheap Tickets: $26 back-of-mezzanine

August: Osage County is a good play. But how I want a copy of the script...

...and a sharpie....

...and line-item veto.

So far, +1 for my new year's resolution of actually abridging plays, at least in "short" format.

Funny stuff. Are you still doing a Young Frankenstein one? I can't wait 'til you rip that one to shreds.

Yup. It'll be up within a week.
