World famous New York Post gossip columnist. "The Rocky Horror Show." Struggling Broadway musical. Cindy may ride to its rescue. Nothing like negotiating your contract in the pages of the New York Post... Ouch. But if it does work out, I think Cindy will be good in this role. It just needs someone with quick wit and a thick skin. A bit of stunt casting, yes, but no more than putting Rosie into Cat in the Hat. It still won't save the show though. ![]() ![]() Most shows gain as closings, holiday hit B'way Labor Day is not one of Broadway's favorite holidays.

Their annual Broadway on Broadway run is coming up. There are some great prizes for those who are quick on their feet and for the top fundraisers. Saw Rocky Horror on Friday. It's not PARADE, but it's great fun. Terrence Mann has joined the show as Frank-N-Furter. The performance was SRO. Warning: Do not listen to the cast album of Urinetown the Musical (as opposed to Urinetown the place, which has no web site and no cast recording) on public transportation. Unless you don't mind laughing on a crowded bus as you pull into the tollbooth with Don't Be The Bunny playing. And there are no amenities on NJ Transit buses. posted at 9/2/2001 07:21:13 PM by the other James | Item Link ![]() ![]() Judging by her generally sunny demeanor, it would be difficult to peg Spencer Kayden as a pessimist.

"We essentially wrote a show we thought would be unproduceable. And now we're opening on Broadway." And this from an interview with Spencer Kayden on Theatermania last week. "It is the true story of The Producers, in that Greg and Mark set out to write a terrible, unproduceable show. Of course they are so smart that it was impossible for them to write anything horrible. They took their idea as far as they could, and now it�s going to Broadway. I think that�s one of the funniest things I have ever heard." ![]() ![]() James, does this mean we won't be discussing college football again this year?
