Urinetown: The Privilege to Pee When Seeing a Broadway Show

This topic might seem vulgar to some, and I apologize if you find it to be, but I want to address a very real problem that faces many of us who choose to spend a day (or weekend or week) in the Theatre District of Broadway. It’s a complaint I hear far too often, and one that has shaped my experiences (and no doubt countless others’ enjoyment) when I choose to see a Broadway show. There is a lack of accessible toilets in the area that do not require careful planning and the occasional scheming to survive a day on theatergoing. 

Revive This Musical: PLEASE!

It’s a big season for Broadway revivals with Spring Awakening having opened and Fiddler on the RoofDames at Sea, and She Loves Me on their way to us in the next few months. Certain shows get revived again and again (Gypsy, anyone?) while others take their sweet time getting back to Broadway. Today’s blog entry is a plea to producers, as I go decade by decade (starting with the 1930s), making the case for the musicals most-deserving of revival in each ten-year span.
