What Is With The Greek Imagery In ‘Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark?’
We are so jealous of Alexandra Peers from The Observer, who got to see the catastrophic juggernaut that is Julie Taymor‘s production of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Why do we want to see it so bad? Because we like a little schadenfreude with our theatrical experiences, okay? Sue us. More »
James Franco to produce a Yale musical – James’ train of amazingness never slows down. We bet we could slip a fake headline into the news stream and no one would even notice. (Vulture)
Video: Jurassic Park The Musical
What, they couldn’t get Jeff Goldblum? As devoted Jurassic Park fans, we can’t believe it took more than fifteen years for someone to musicalize the dino park film. Seriously, this looks awesome and we’re taking credit for recognizing a RENT song from the first note. (via The Daily What) More »

Except it turns out Viva Forever (um, long live forever?) won’t actually feature any of the singers or even mention their names. Instead, the play will be about… drumroll please… reality TV! More »
‘Bridget Jones’ Diary: The Musical’ With Lily Allen Songs??
Are you kidding us? You aren’t? Bridget Jones is going to be a musical? And Lily Allen is going to be doing the soundtrack/musical score? Okay then. You know what? We’d buy that for a dollar. But we can’t help feeling that there is Hollywood mogul out there whose job it is to “figure out what people with uteri will like.” And he comes back with “Chocolate, Hugh Grant, mildly overweight women having hot guys fight over her, and musicals.”… More »
Damn, Gyllenhaal: Jake To Star In Baseball Musical
When I was in high school, I was in a production of Damn Yankees. I was a chorus member, but I totally wanted to be Lola, the woman trapped in a deal by the devil who gets to sing the infamous “Whatever Lola Wants” song. But whatever, time has passed, and who cares about stupid HS plays anymore?
Except of course, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jim Carey, the former of whom is trying to ruin my morning by announcing his role in the new film adaptation of this like, century-old musical. More »
‘Bring It On’ Musical: Don’t Screw It Up
Did you hear that Bring It On is heading to Broadway?
Bring it on.
Translating the campy-fun cheerocracy to the stage is something we can get behind — if it’s handled right. There have been a slew of announcements in the past few years about intrepid producers attempting to transform film favorites into Broadway-bound musicals (looks like the whole “remake” trend isn’t isolated to Hollywood). Clueless, Heathers, Teen Witch and The Notebook are all rumored to be on their way to the… More »
