The major West Coast cities -- LA, SF, and Seattle -- seem to have
become a sort of new New Haven. Seattle has an enthusiastic,
knowledgeable theatre audience and it's less convenient for
professional haters to come see a work-in-progress and badmouth it
around town and around the internet. HAIRSPRAY, THOROUGHLY MODERN
MILLIE, JEKYLL & HYDE, and LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA are some shows that
played Seattle on the way to Broadway but there've been many others.
Another Seattle/Broadway connection is Dan Sullivan and Doug Hughes,
two of the busiest directors in New York, who were the artistic
director and assistant director, a few years back, at the Seattle
Rep. Then there's PIAZZA's Bartlett Sher, who is still running
Seattle's Intiman Theatre.
I just got my tickets for YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN for August 16. Has the
show got an opening date yet in New York?

geez- SEATTLE was never much of Pre-Broadway try-out town
until HAIRSPRAY came along
(didn't MADAME ROZA play there?)
is it possible internet chatter is the reason producers are opting to
open a show as far west of the Mississippi
to prevent laptop critics from getting on buses to those once
traditional try-out towns such as Boston-New Haven- Philly
<I know -it takes less time to get to the West Coast by plane than
Philly to Boston by train>
-geez- when was the last time anything pre or post broadway played New
Haven ??
