Julie Taymor, the woman responsible for Across the Universe, wants to make Spiderman into a Broadway musical spectacular with Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood. No...all kinds of no. Let the dear comic book hero rest.
Little House on the Prairie: The Musical also exists...with Melissa Gilbert as Ma and Patrick Swayze as Pa. Seriously, I'm crazy for Swayze from Dirty Dancing, but I don't think he belongs as the patriarch of the Ingalls family.
The strike rages on; The Grinch will get to open this week because of a special separate contract they had with the stagehand union, but the majority of the shows on Broadway are still dark. It really breaks my heart that all this continues to go on. It's hurting a lot of people, and it's sad for me to think of the theatre district caught up in this. As it is, tomorrow we give thanks with our families, but I'll definitely be giving thanks when this strike is over.
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu.
