Alice Heading for Broadway

Think you've seen enough of the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts? Well get ready for Wonderland: A New Alice. A New Musical! Yes, that's right, soon Broadway will make way for the Disney classic. Oh but don't worry because Disney is not producing this musical (for once). So no need to fret about more Disney on Broadway (I know I'm sick of it!) I'm actually excited about this show because it is yet another take on this story. It is supposed to be pretty close to the original but of course ON STAGE! I watched a preview of it on Broadway and the music sounds upbeat and interesting. It's opening at the Marquis Theatre on April 17. I'm really hoping this show does well on Broadway.

Spiderman Vs. Elphaba

Okay, so every Broadway geek has probably heard about the success of Spiderman: The Musical. According to weekly grosses, it is coming up very close to the insanely popular Wicked. Personally, I'm rooting for Wicked to overrule the newcomer to Broadway because most people only really like Spiderman for its special effects. I have not yet heard one person mention that it has a great score or amazing lyrics. Now take a look at Wicked. The score, lyrics, costumes, set, special effects, everything about it is amazing! Then what makes Spiderman so great? I honestly don't see it, since there have been other shows with cool special effects plus more. I'm really hoping that when people read this post, they realize that Wicked has so much more than Spiderman.
