I'm not in to Broadway shows, but I would like to see Escape to Margaritaville.

Yes, also on my to see list. Looks good. Music by Jimmy Buffett.

Glenda Jackson is one of the stars of Albee's

Three Tall Women. She has seldom appeared on Broadway, not since 1988.

I'm pretty much annoyed by anything Jimmy Buffett, but love that the show is employing the very talented Lisa Howard.

 

Already have tix for My Fair Lady and Mean Girls.

Summer: The Donna Summer Musical Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Previews start March 28th

 

Saw this play at the La Jolla Playhouse. Really enjoyed it. Granted, there were changes that needed to be made, I hope the Broadway version fixes those issues. But, I'd see it again in a micro-minute.

King Kong is also coming to Broadway... sometime in November. I'm tempted to see it just to see how they pull off the giant ape. I think I read it would be a combination of animatronics and puppetry.

 

King Kong on Broadway

I saw Mean Girls when it previewed in DC late last year. I thought it was absolutely hilarious, with catchy tunes. I'm also curious as to how much has changed once it goes into full opening after NY previews. I'm more than likely to see it again.

Have tried for three days to get tickets for Mean Girls - ticketmaster sucks! Online it consistently tells that they can not process my oder and that I should try later. Telephone agents are always busy and told constantly to call back. I have never had this problem before - what am I doing wrong?

I caught it in Sydney in 2013. Without major retooling, it'll fail miserably. The puppet isn't enough to carry the show.
