2008 04-21 Broadway Bulletin: Mamet's November - Godspell

*Mamet's NOVEMBER starring Nathan Lane hits 100th show.
*GODSPELL returning to Broadway.
*BEEBO BRINKER CHRONICLES closing April 27th.

If you haven't seen November, the new David Mamet play starring Nathan Lane, well, hurry up! It couldn't be playing at a more appropriate time in history, what with the Bush administration's days ticking down...but November's days are just beginning. The play is celebrating it's 100th performance, Saturday April 12th....and Nathan's character President Charles HP Smith is just delicious...

Nathan delivers lines like no other... Think I'm kidding, hows this for an example: "I promise not to raise taxes; for taxes take money from the pockets of the workers and put it in the hands of the shirkers. Taxes are the sign of decay. Rome fell because of taxes, as did Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, and the French Monarchy. No one in his right mind would raise taxes when he can just print money!"

November is a perfect storm of talent; Mamet meets Lanes... an unstoppable duo!

Personally, I'm thrilled that Godspell is coming to Broadway this summer...Apparently a lot of other people are too, as there are already teaser ads posted on Broadwayworld.com, where fans can sign up to get advanced information about casting and other notices. Fans who sign up also have a chance to attend the demo recording session...Go to broadwayworld.com/godspell to register.

And if you've been waiting to see the Beebo Brinker Chronicles, ya better hurry...This GLAAD media award winning stage adaptation follows the lives and loves of four friends in pre-Stonewall Greenwhich Village..
Producers include Jane Wagner and Lilly tomlin..
Located at 37 Arts, but hurry the Beebo Brinker Chronicles closes April 27th...
