Yesterday's comments about the National Theatre Broadway Awards website not being ready must be updated. It was not ready yesterday at 7AM when I checked it, but it went live later in the day. There are still some "holding" pages, but you can get the feel for what they are doing. You can visit it for yourself at www.NationalBroadwayAwards.com. (Will we be referring to them as the NBA?)

Losing Its Rosie Glow

    AND now the end is near, and so they face the final curtain... "Seussical, the Musical" is, I'm afraid, a terminal case. I say this with great regret, since, for a gossip-mongering theater columnist like myself, this show has been a gift that keeps on giving.
Oh! Now I get it. Except for one thing... Fran and Barry are not the only ones above the title. There is SFX and Universal. I would think that SFX has an interest in keeping the show open so that it can run on the road...

Rent Author's Rarely-Seen tick, tick... BOOM! Angling for Off-B'way.

This was mentioned vaguely on January 9th's update. A song from the show called "Why" has been recorded by Gilles Chiasson for his forthcoming solo CD SLOW DOWN, which should be out soon.
