In honor of Stephen Daldry’s nomination for The Reader, I’ve decided to review the Broadway musical version of the movie Billy Elliot.

I think the best way to close out the year is to list all the Broadway and off-Broadway shows closing in January (as of this posting). If you’re currently in NYC and want to see something other than a giant lighted tree (and I’m sure that there are a few people who come here just for that) or just anything for that matter, then I suggest seeing the following shows before they close for good. Or until their revivals come around. I have reviewed most if not all shows but if you’re looking for more info on them, check out my links. Have a Happy New Year!

It’s a high school musical for those who love or hate High School Musical.

I’m back! And full of tryptophan (I love turkey).
One good thing about the current economic climate: Shows that were once unavailable to the general public the day of the show are now available. Especially the decent seats.

I’ll explain the title: It’s the title of a musical by Jacob Sterling who was inspired by his visiting mother’s complaint as they walked around the city. Here’s the thing: Neither the musical nor the composer are real.

No, I’m not writing reviews to shows once they announce closing. If I haven’t written a review yet for a certain show and they just announced their closing, then I choose to write about it. And judging from the rumor mill more of these show closing reviews will come. Now on to the review.
