It was kind of like clicking the remote. Eight minutes per show. That's all we got. But it was enough time to watch the wedding scene in each of five Broadway shows on a recent evening, enough of a preview to know which shows I'd really like to sit down and watch...
"Prelude to a Kiss" -- closed already.. no loss.
"Pirate Queen" -- a huge extravaganza, well costumed but Irish jigs just don't do it for me
"Drowsy Chaperone" -- worth another trip
"Spamalot" -- A lot of laughs...
"Mamma Mia" -- been there, done that, the music makes the show.
