I Don’t Think I Can Take Much More Of “Grease: You’re The One That I Want”

They’re all talented — but so Donny-and-Marie-Osmond bland, just like the musical itself.  I think even the biggest "Grease" fans won’t come to the Broadway show, because by the time this series is over, everyone will be sick of "Grease" (if they’re not already).

And hello?  Are we just going to watch these people sing?  Is there going to be any acting in this here Broadway show?

And as if to put an exclamation point on what’s wrong with Broadway these days, the "special guest judge" next week is none other than Andrew Lloyd Weasel.  Ugh.

You want Broadway?  You want talent? 

How about (Spring Awakening)….

Or how about (Wicked)…

Or how about (Assassins)…

Or how about (The Full Monty)…

Or how about (Urinetown)…

Or how about (Tick Tick Boom)…

Or how about (Bat Boy)…

Or how about (Sweeney Todd)…

Or how about (Into The Woods)….

Or how about (Dreamgirls — and by the way, Ms. Hudson, you’re good — but this is how it’s done)…

Or this (Spamalot)… or this (The Last Ten Five Years)…
