I’m indebted to Paul Thompson of the Broadway blog for his series on “My Times Square“. A Chicago native, his documentation of wandering around the Big Apple brings back the same kind of memories that this midwesterner has.

He comments on the amazing fact that Studio 54 is now a theatre, something that I was not really all that surprised at when I saw the revival of Cabaret there a few years back. That’s a musical that suits the scandalous history of the place, and the fact that I could only afford nosebleed seats was eased by the fact that I was face to face with the fabled mirror ball.
Now, though, they’ve got Sunday in the Park with George going on - and disco must truly be dead for such a respectable show to be in such a decadent theatre. It’s also amusing that down on 42nd St. you have Mary Poppins facing Young Frankenstein - a mashup that would truly be an interesting musical, don’t you think?
