Ever After on Broadway… dude, seriously!

C’mon folks.  Gimme a break.  Ever After on Broadway?  Are you kidding?  Can we please, as a theatre community, stop adapting movies to the stage willy nilly?  There are a bazillion stories out there just dying to be told — certainly too many to be rehashing the same pop titles over and over.

Of course, NYC is all about commercial business and entertaining the lowest common denominator, not about, you know… producing original art.

Don’t me wrong.  I loved The Lion King on Broadway, but it had nothing on the movie.

I mean, dude… seriously.  What’s next?  Die Hard: the Musical?  Grey’s Anatomy on Broadway?
