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.

Food + Theatre

Reidel says today:

The Nederlanders, who last year began letting audiences munch on popcorn in their seats, will go a step further and permit food delivery during the show.

Yeah, McDonalds, Pizza, whatever. Just don't start letting them eat mini ice-creams.

Everybody who's been to a show in London knows what I'm talking about. At interval, the little tiny Ben and Jerrys come out, and with the pik-pik-pik of those tiny wooden spoons, you start to get confused why it sounds like it's raining during Act 2 of every West End show....

Check back this weekend for Young Frankenstein Abridged.

I know. I just wanted to go on a rant about London being stupid with mini ice-creams during intermission.
