Wow! That kid can dance! I really enjoyed this show. However, I think I would have been totally lost if I hadn't read the wikipedia article first, which explained the politics of England at the time. The background story of the show involves the U.K. coal strike in the 80s, FYI.

I saw it with my mom and sister Rose last Wednesday matinee. Afterwords we met up with [livejournal.com profile] quietchris, my brother and his partner for diner at Ollie's.

Chris and I watched [title of show] last night on Broadway.

Plot summary: Two men and their 2 ladyfriends are writing a musical. The show is the story of how they got the show you are watching from an idea, to an off-broadway show, to a broadway show. (though, the last part wasn't in the off-broadway version because it had not yet happened yet).

If you are involved in theather, or follow Broadway theater, you have to see this show. It has plenty of inside jokes, and makes some important statements about selling out / not selling out, watering down shows / not watering down shows, etc.

If you are queer, you have to see this show. The two main charactors are gay men, they make tons of great gay jokes (including listing some of the best drag names EVAH), and some of the references will only make sense if you know NYC queer culture. (Like, they mention The Garden Party.)

Everyone else... I'm sure you'll have a good time.

They have a YouTube channel... the same one they used to promote the show in their attempts to get it funded. Which, is a part of the plot!

Update: Correction: it's a show about two guys writing a show about two guys writing a show.
