It's Alive!!!!

To me it seems like we are headed for a pretty strong year on Broadway. Right now in Seattle they are doing the out of town try-outs for Mel Brook's Young Frankensein, which truth be told was and still is one of my favorite movies. It has an all star cast attatched to it. Leading the way is Roger Bart (in the title role) he is followed by Megan Mullally, Sutton Foster, Andrea Martin, Shuler Hensley, Christopher Fitzgerald and Fred Applegate. This is probably one of the most anticipated musicals of the year, followed very closely by The Little Mermaid. I've been following the show a bit, although i will admit i am a bit sad, Mullally's part was originally going to be played by Broadway Diva Kristin Chenoweth, which would have been fierce, and Mullally was linked to The Little Mermaid, playing Ursela, which would have also been fierce. But we shall see, it seems the gods of the theatre had other ideas. Young Frankenstien opens at the Hilton Theatre on November 8th. November is going to be an expensive month for me.
