If Dirty Grandpa were turned into a stage show, trust me on this: Ben Brantley and every other theater critic would think it was 50x worse than Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. <br /><br />And earlier this summer, Alan Menken wrote songs for the very adult animated film Sausage Party.

I'm also highly suspicious of "A Bronx Tale;" I don't see Robert De Niro's tough guy aesthetic translating particularly well to the musical theatre, especially when paired with people like Alan Menken and Jerry Zaks who are known for pretty safe, middle of the road Broadway spectacles.Jared Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284013301022428882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964845101939250966.post-57858796229348949092016-09-25T18:40:24.388-04:002016-09-25T18:40:24.388-04:00I remember when I asked you what your most and lea...I remember when I asked you what your most and least anticipated shows were back in June, you said Cats was by far your least anticipated show. Since Cats already opened back in July, any other anticipated shows you're not looking forward to at all?Alex Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713722891716426487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964845101939250966.post-15443495484978685812016-09-19T10:58:02.444-04:002016-09-19T10:58:02.444-04:00It's called "Come From Away," and it...It's called "Come From Away," and it does sound interesting, but it doesn't start until the spring so it didn't make the list :-)Jared Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284013301022428882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964845101939250966.post-25705565865503282032016-09-18T20:33:25.675-04:002016-09-18T20:33:25.675-04:00I think the 9/11 musical I forget the name of look...I think the 9/11 musical I forget the name of looks pretty cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659320310024734833noreply@blogger.com
