Will [show] Be Re[title]d?In case you missed
Chris Caggiano's
excellent interview with
[title of show] co-creator/co-star
Hunter Bell over at
Everything I Know I Learned From Musicals, seems as though there's a real possibility that the little tuner that could may very well come back in time for the Tonys.
My only question would be whether they'd incorporate the return engagement into the production itself.
Here's to Chris for scooping the rest of the media with his essential theatre blog. Bravo! (If you're not already reading
EIKILFM, you really should!)

Everything I Know About Frankenstein......I learned from reading this morning's edition of

Bart's Back: Bad Omen?It's never a good sign when one of the key principals in a new show is out with an injury, but that's the case with
Roger Bart in
Young Frankenstein.
Bart has been sidelined, at least temporarily, with a lower back injury. As a result, he's missed some performances since the October 13 matinee.
First I heard of it was via
Chris Caggiano of
Everything I Know I Learned From Musicals, who posted his scathing review of the show on Monday. Chris saw understudy
Matthew LaBanca in the role of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, whom he described as "game and energetic, and almost letter-perfect in his knowledge of the role. The audience didn't seem to care that the actor playing the title character was out." A pity about the show itself.
Over at the
New York Post, columnist
Michael Riedel uses the opportunity to joke about the show:
Roger Bart, will be out at least until the weekend due to a bad back. (And he hasn't even read his reviews yet.)
Riedel goes on to say that the dark horse in this year's Tony derby may very well be
Cry-Baby, especially since the buzz he's hearing out the
Hilton Theatre ain't that great about
Mel and his new show.
What's that line from the "
Cell Block Tango"? Something about "He had it coming!"?!
