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.

I was looking at your website and as a fan of the shows you parody, 
I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE FUNNY OR CLEVER AT ALL!!! What 
you write in your abridged scripts are rude, disrespectful and not 
funny whatsoever!!!

I agree wholeheartedly and, like you, I am also a fan of all of these shows, such as In My Life.

I love having things in common with people.

Ugh. Really? I think it's obvious when reading the Abridged Scripts that you're not just making fun of them for the hell of it - you CARE. I guess this gal missed that somehow.
