We just launched The Seagull’s brand new site:

This promises to be an amazing show.  Definitely one of Broadway’s Not-to-be-missed this Fall.

It’s kinda cool. You can take the videos you’ve already uploaded to YouTube and write messages over them. Of course it’s limited to one font and one type of color for now, but eventually I think this will change the way we make online videos.

Check it out, we used it to put a social network code on the Fela video:

So I am working on the internet marketing for The Toxic Avenger Musical. I have never seen the movie (I wasn’t born yet) but I did watch the preview on YouTube and it seems like if it came out today, John Heder would play the nerdy kid who ends up being the Toxic Avenger. I must say though, as I was looking at the Wikipedia page and was typing in the names of the songs, my excitement for this show sky rocketed. I mean come on, with songs like I Did Donald Trump, Thank God She’s Blind, and B*tch/Slut/Liar/Whore how can this show not be the hilarious. The Toxic Avenger Musical  has its world priemere at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey on September 30 so if you happen to be in town go see it.

Now watch the cheesy (and by cheesy I mean awesome) old school preview below:

Just 4 days until the premiere of my favorite television show Mad Men.

Elizabeth Moss is coming to Broadway in Mamet’s Speed the Plow with Raul Esparza and Jeremy Piven at the Belasco Theatre.  Moss will be playing the role Madonna had 20 years ago when it premiered.  I know she’ll do amazing, especially under the direction of our friend Neil Pepe (Almost an Evening).
