Planning for 90s Nostalgia
One day, someone will take a collection of popular songs from the 1990s and turn it into a nostalgia musical.
Update July 2016: I was wondering if this had happened yet. I suppose you could count “American Idiot,” but apparently the album was intended to tell a story, so it’s not quite the same as someone stringing together the hits of ABBA or whoever.
It turns out someone put together a Spice Girls–inspired musical in 2012. It was not well-reviewed and didn’t last very long.
Frost/Nixon, Gooey Trek
Long day: Comic-Con hotel rush, work, drive to LA for Frost/Nixon at Ahmanson theater, drive back with a stop for coffee and cheesecake. Sleepy.
When headline limits go bad: “STAR TREK Official Movie Prequel Comic Boldly Goes to iPhone And Goo” Sorry, I don’t want a comic that melts.
Noises Off at SCR
Saw Noises Off at South Coast Repertory. Hilarious. Also brings back memories from high school and college productions.
La Mancha
Home from seeing Brent Spiner in Man of La Mancha. Very good.
Update: Here’s a friend’s review of the production.
