My Dried-Eye Broadway Closures

New York Times, how I adore thee. As word of the new Mel Brooks Musical is closing in January, the Times managed to say what everyone not involved with the show is thinking. The "Oh well, moving on" attitude fits the very arrogant show's demise. Charging $450 for a ticket? Not reporting your grosses? Dumping St. James Theatre? (NYT)

My Young Frankenstein

So I finally caught the much-hyped Mel Brooks musical 'Young Frankenstein'. First of all, it's nowhere near as bad as most reviewers say it is- in fact, it was quite enjoyable.... in the first act. Then the second act fell apart with a lack of focus (other than the spectacular number 'Puttin' On The Ritz'). Even the sets during the first act blew me away- each scene showcasing a new splashy set. 

Is it me or did the intermission point feel like it came two scene too late? Also, could they have underused Megan Mullally anymore?
