Eastchester Players Club Going Around the World

Eastchester Players Club I got a Google alert that the Eastchester Players Club in New York will be doing my show Around the World in 80 Days this weekend. Yeah, I get Google alerts about my shows. I like to see is there's anything I need to know about my shows. Like whether I'm having an Off-Broadway production, or being awarded Outstanding Musical, or having a World Premiere. Was that shameless promotion noticeable? Anyway, when I found the kids at the Eastchester [...]

Around the World in 80 Days at Meadow Brook Theatre

Around the World in 80 Days at Meadow Brook Theatre My play Around the World in 80 Days kicks off the 2014-15 season at the Meadow Brook Theatre this week. It's a Michigan premiere and runs from Oct 1 - Oct 26. The Detroit Free Press has named it Best of the Best for this upcoming weekend. I think this is one of the productions that put me in the Top 10 Most-Produced Plays for the 2014 -15 season. The show [...]

Here Lies Love Returns to the Public Theatre

Here Lies Love, the fantastic musical about Imelda Marcos by David Byrne and Fat Boy Slim, is returning to the Public Theatre starting March 24th for an open-ended run. My tip of the day is get your tickets now! Last year Here Lies Love was the hottest ticket in New York City and for good reason: it's terrific. Here's what the Public Theatre has to say about the show: "Within a pulsating dance club atmosphere, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim deconstruct [...]

Around the World in 80 Days Closing Oct. 13

If you were thinking of seeing the Off-Broadway production of Around the World in 80 Days, you better drop what you're doing and go see the show NOW because I just received word that the show is closing Oct 13, 2013. I'm sad it's ending. I thought it was a fun production and it seemed word about the show was building. The show started previews on May 9th and opened on May 30th. So all in all it will have run [...]

The Amazing Race Meets The 39 Steps

The other day I posted how I'm not crazy about the press releases calling the Off-Broadway production of my script Around the World in 80 Days a "fun frolic." The show is a whirlwind comedy and the Off-Broadway production is a wild and exciting steampunk version. So imagine my surprise today when I read this in the BroadwayWorld article about Gary Littman and Matt Lutz joining the cast: "Combining 'The Amazing Race' with The 39 Steps, Around the World in [...]

Fun Frolic? How About A Fasten-Your-Seat Belt Comedy!

The website for the Off-Broadway production of Around the World in 80 Days has a new fancy logo. The site is still using the top hat but now instead of a static hat just sitting there, the new hat has motion and energy. It's a really nice make-over and fits the show. The show is fast moving. One might even call is a whirlwind. The show, however, is billed as a "fun frolic." That description has been in all of the press releases [...]

A Harper Honey Review of Around the World in 80 Days

Here's a lovely review by Harper Yi of the Off-Broadway production of Around the World in 80 Days. "But on top of all this ingenuity and artistic splendor, the show is funny-- genuinely, side-splittingly, joyously funny. The script itself is fast-paced, quick, and witty with some very sharp jokes that will tickle you with the precision of wit and other, very intentionally blunt jokes, that will hit you more like a baseball bat in the gut, except instead of the wind (and [...]

Guy LeMonnier Joins Cast of Around the World in 80 Days

Last week Guy LeMonnier joined the cast of the Off-Broadway production of Around the World in 80 Days. Guy replaces Josh Segarra in the role of Phileas Fogg. Guy is a founding member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, so all you TSO fans come on out to the New Theatre at 45th Street to see Guy knock it out of the park. Break many bones, Guy.
