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.

No New Abridgements this month

Why?

Not planning on seeing anything. Although I would like to see The Homecoming and Xanadu... I even got a copy of the Xanadu movie so I can watch the thing before seeing the show.
The real reason: I'm submitting a play to the NY Fringe Festival this year, so my co-writer and I are hustling to do as many rewrites as we can before mid-February. We're hoping to iron out the important fixes in that time, with extra time for smoothing over between then and the summer.
In the past month I've posted 2 full-length abridges and one short. That's not bad considering my track record!
