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.

Brigadoon is coming to Broadway

With a book revision by John Guare.

I'm calling it right now: this book revision won't succeed. It would require jettisoning the whole "accidental death on a rock" thing and the "I loved her so much the town came back" crap at the end. Alan Jay Lerner's daughter is producing, and I doubt she'd allow for such mammoth changes to these two crappy storyline points.

Edit: Nevermind; this is from April. A Google Alert linked me to this; didn't realize it was to an old Article. Guess that makes sense; why would a depression be when they re-reverse their decision to bring this to Broadway?

Gil: That's a little bit of an old story. It may still come to Broadway, but it's been put off at least for now. Those of us in Boston are a little upset that no one wants to do a tryout here this season! http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2008/07/31/another_pre_broadway_play_brigadoon_cancels_local_run/ http://www.playbill.com/news/article/119942.html
