Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you hear about The Last Starfighter: The Musical.
Favorite quote from the review:
…the production was aware that their means to represent the CG found in the movie was severely lacking. They played-up this fact and managed to inject some humor into the scenes that relied on these campy props.
Apparently it’s actually not bad. If I ever decide to go to Manhattan, seeing this show will be on my list, somewhere between visiting Lady Liberty and seeing “Cats”.
(Huh, wait, is Cats even showing anymore?)
Oh, and I heard about another review of it here: http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/000059.html
And the web site of the theatre, though this link probably won’t reflect it since the show only runs for two weeks, is at http://www.stormtheatre.com/
