title of showAll those episodes of the [title of show] show have finally paid off.

According to playbill.com, “[title of show] — the four-person Off-Broadway musical about the making of a musical — will begin previews at Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre July 5 with an official opening scheduled for July 17.”

The entire original cast — including co-creators Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell as well as Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff— will be seen on Broadway, directed by A Chorus Line’s Michael Berresse, who also helmed the acclaimed Off-Broadway run.

I’ve written e-tomes about this show (see links below, or click on the title of this post, and then see links below) about the show’s twoguyswritingamusicalabouttwoguyswritingamusicalabouttwoguyswritingamusical circular plot, so I won’t go on and on. Just wanted to share the big news.

I wonder though, each time this show goes another step–from New York Musical Theatre Festival, to Off-Broadway, and now to Broadway–Hunter and Jeff have to write new material chronicling the show’s progress within the show itself. At this rate, it’s going to be an Angels In America/Mahabharata/Coast of Utopia epic. Not that I’m complaining. I’m just sayin’…

Congratulations to all involved. And here’s to a long and healthy Broadway run.

    After I first learned about this show going to Broadway, I wondered aloud what you might be thinking. Now I know. It’s exciting, isn’t it?!

    Like you, I can’t wait to see how they’ll detail these latest chapters on stage. Fortunately, when I saw the show, it was still running at 90 minutes, so what’s a little more time?
