Zoo Story: A Preview of the Fall 2008 Broadway Season

Playbill News: "All sorts of strange animals will be herded through Broadway's many stages during the coming autumn months. Human animals, too, of course, though some will take the seeming form of sacrificial lambs (Sydney Carton in Tale of Two Cities and Sir Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons), sharks (everyone in Speed-the-Plow), and a wolf and foxes (Joey and his various female prey, respectively, in Pal Joey)."

Shrek on Broadway??? Of all the movies over the past few years, animated or live action, Shrek had to be the last one I would have thought to cross over to the Broadway Stage. I am by no means saying that I think it is going to be bad, simply that I feel its strange that producers would pick a green ogre over any other production. We will have to wait and see how this is received by the public.

I am so sick of Broadway taking films and turning them into productions. Shrek and Billy Elliot are just replacements for Legally Blonde and The Wedding Singer. Not that Broadway is always the guilty one, the film industry takes shows and turns them into movies too. Chicago, Mamma Mia, etc. I am just craving some new stories!
