  • Everything is better when it's a musical...EVERYTHING!
  • Spooky Speaks The Truth: The Billings BarnBurners PlayHouse and Truck Storage seminal world premiere of Chekov's "Saturday Night Fever" was "A Fresh Look at the Russkie Roots of an American Classic" ---Thar Helmsjkold, critic emeritus, The Billings Weekly Blimp (Canning Arts two-color Spring Supplement and Penny-Sav-R)---but many found the 45 minute half-act "missing something, like maybe 3-part Australian falsetto singing." Thus an American classic was born.
  • Oh. That eager fresh-faced kid just outta Acting School from the local j.c. who BLEW US AWAY with his highly stylized depiction of paint =salesman-with-a-dream Tony Manero? Yep. Montana's own Jim Loy.
  • Everything is better when it's a musical...EVERYTHING! In that case, humanity deserves a musical version of this. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it already exists.

  • And now, Spider-Man: The Musical! Or, more accurately, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Turn Off The Dark is a stoopid title. And it's going to be the most expensive production in Broadway history. Somehow, this doesn't bode well.
