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.

Four Fab Shows Heading to Macy's This Year!

Okay, so I don't know about any of you but the main reason I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is for the four numbers from new musicals on Broadway. They get more people to go see these shows, and this year I am pleased to announce that the four musicals being shown are Million Dollar Quartet, American Idiot, Memphis, and Elf. Alright so maybe the last one isn't a show I'm really thrilled about, but the other three are definitely going to be entertaining. I especially cannot wait for the number from Memphis because ever since the Tony awards from last year, this show has appealed to me. I mean, I really hope that this fabulous musical goes on national tour VERY soon, because when it does, I will be there for sure. I greatly encourage all my readers to tune in this Thursday to NBC at 9 AM.
