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.

Pop quiz!

a) Costumes from Your Community Theater's production of The Music Man, or

c) Probably gonna win a Tony. =/

The costumes? I doubt it; they're mostly recreations of the original production by the same designer.

But as Best Revival, I'd say it'll win it unless Night Music or Promises, Promises ends up being a hell of a revival.
And since we're in the comments, it's hidden enough for me to admit: it totally deserves it.
