Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

450 Dollars

By Gil on Tuesday, Jul 3, 2007

Sorry, was on vacation. In case you were too, $450 is the amount Mel Brooks is charging for top seats to Young Frankenstein.

I think Mel Brooks made the right choice, and should have considered an even $500.

I base this opinion solely on the fact that there are too many blogs complaining about this top ticket price, so I thought I'd take the path less followed.

Also: New Broadway Abridged Live Radio Edition coming late July or early August.
