Heads-up musical theatre fans, Monday is the beginning of Broadway Week on Live with Regis and Kelly, so check your local listings and set the DVR.Even though clips from shows are everywhere on the Web, it's still great to see a nationally aired TV program put Broadway in the spotlight for a week.
Here's the 2010 lineup:
Monday: American Idiot (Also appearing on Letterman on Thursday.)
Tuesday: Hair
Wednesday: Kristin Chenoweth, from Promises, Promises
Thursday: La Cage Aux Folles
Friday: Come Fly Away
Also, you can watch a performance by Vanessa Williams from Sondheim on Sondheim online and catch up with some of the segments from previous Broadway Weeks.
I look forward to this every year, but especially this year since other than Hair, I haven't seen any of the featured musicals. Although as much as I love the Tony-winning revival, I wish they'd given the spotlight to a new show.
Oh well, I'll take what I can get!

Unfortunately, I think Hair needs all the help it can get right now. It hasn't been selling well lately. Maybe it will pick up again in the summer.
I hope so. It's always been one of my favorite scores, long before I even knew what a "score" for a musical was! And this production of Hair is terrific, so vibrant and compelling.
