Lennon on Broadway

What's it called?

Ummm...."Lennon" (no, really, that's what it's called!)

Oh. Okay. And no I have not seen it...had not even heard about it. A musical or drama?

The show is called Lennon. It opened last month to mediocre reviews. I've only read about it, haven't been to NY in ages.

It's a drama, Sturgis, but I don't know if they play any of Lennon's music or not.

Do you know, mac11? I would think they would play a few of his songs -- or is it just a straight bio of his life?

It had a lot of his songs, I think.

Here's the NY Times review summary for Lennon - I couldn't get to the full review for some reason. (Posting here because you have to register to view it.)

Thanks, mac11! I guess I'll pass on the show.

It's a shame because Lennon had an interesting life -- could've been a great show. Too bad they junked it up!

I've heard the next "big musical" coming up will be based on the life of ....are you ready....Franki Valli. Yep. They're saying it's going to be bigger than Mamma Mia. Whatever!
