Off-Broadway show: Room Service (Sunday, June 10)
Here is a NewYorkTime Review:
“Generally considered one of the funniest American plays of the 1930’s, Room Service centers around a slippery theatrical producer, trying to find a backer for his new show while holed up in a Times Square hotel with nineteen starving actors. Hoping to forestall eviction, he convinces the show’s gullible young playwright to fake his own death.”
Another story about greed, but way more funny than Burley Grum. Written in 1930s, a time of depression, it bears an obvious feature of satire and ambitiousness. It seems to me people back at that time were ready to laugh when they see the plots of some clever guy are hatched and turn out to be very successful.
Today’s Show: Wedding Singer
Here is a review that attracted my interest to see it.
The music in the movie was a terrific collection of 80s songs. The music for the show is original to the musical except for Somebody Kill Me and Grow Old With You (which were written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herligy for the movie). However the original music stays true to the sound of the 80s and the lyrics are fun. (At intermission I went to the lobby to buy the soundtrack, but it hasn’t been recorded yet. They are playing to record it in the next few months.)
