I really wish I'd been able to see [title of show] on Broadway. It only lasted a few months at the Lyceum Theatre. I know there was some discussion about whether this love letter to musical theatre was too insiderish to have wide appeal.

Since I've watched some of The [title of show] Show videos I kind of feel like I know Bowen, Bell and their castmates, Heidi Blickenstaff and Susan Blackwell, all of whom play themselves. It'll be strange seeing someone else in those roles.
[Title of show] runs from Jan. 15 - Feb. 13, 2010.

The musical features a score by from Joshua Schmidt and a libretto by Schmidt and Jason Loewith. It opened off-Broadway in 2008 at the Minetta Lane Theatre to good reviews. Among those who raved about it was my fellow blogger Chris, at Everything I Know I Learned from Musicals.
Adding Machine runs from March 12 - April 10, 2010.

I remember reading about Adding Machine and wishing I'd gone to see it. It sounds dark and moody, a bit like me. :-)
Oh Dale, I bet behind that dark and moody exterior lies a very cheery and sunny person! :-)
I do enjoy a dark and moody show myself from time to time and this one was supposed to be very good. Of course, I also like light and funny, too. It's all about balance, in theatre as in so much else.
