As Matthew mentioned below, last night's Bat Boy was outstanding again, seemingly with much of a repeat audience. There was anticipatory cheering from the audience (and as three of four of us had seen it 3x already). I highly recommend that everyone hold their Bat Boy one last time before he leaves town. If you would like a discount, click here. (It's a PDF) I wouldn't wait to get your tickets. It is closing soon (Dec 3?) and the house was oversold with about 30 people in standing room only.

Internet Broadway Database

The Internet Broadway Database is down. (Don't click on the link, it's down!) It seems that the domain was not paid for and went on hold November 22. The IBDB.com is a project of The League. Perhaps the domain will be paid for on Monday and be back up and running next week. Perhaps.

Bat Boy last night was the most exciting and energetic I've seen it. The performers were at the top of their game, and the audience was with them every step of the way. If you haven't seen the show yet, go now! And if you want to see it again, take advantage of the opportunity while it's here. You won't regret it.

WHETHER or not George Hamilton would appear on Broadway in "Chicago" was decided by the flip of a coin. Eleven times, The Man With The Tan flipped a coin.
