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.

Yet more shameless Disney advertising! I really hope this doesn't get far, (even though I love the score of "The Illusionist.)

I don't know, he's such an iconic 20th century American figure, I actually think this sounds kind of intriguing.

I love Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread.

Disney will swoop in and make him leave out all of the stuff about his antisemitism.
