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.

Leave L. Frank Baum Alone!

Some American Idol Loser to Star in Oz, the Musical

Really? So besides the early 1900s version that nobody really knows, and the "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" version, and the "Ease On Down The Road" version, we need yet another retelling? It would be one thing if theatre community hadn't seen Oz in awhile, but I hear that might not be true.

I also love the note on the Auditions page:

Free auditions will be held in each city where the musical is performed.

In other cities, auditions will be $59.95, and we'll try to sell you Amway products.

When I was eleven my elementary/middle school did a show called Oz which was a musical. The munchkins (i.e. me) rapped. It was pretty pitiful. I hope this show is related to the one I did.
