Follow The Star

"Follow the Star" is a fantastic show that retells the story of Mary & Joseph. The rather small Gabby (the Angel Gabriel) is desperate for a job so that he can grow (angels only get taller is they do good work). Olly, who is in charge of all the angels, gives Gabby the task of finding Mary and telling her of her forthcoming baby. Having found Mary the over excited Gabby show himself to Joseph, something Olly had strictly forbidden. However Gabby is given one more chance and told to be the star that the Three Wise Men will follow. The other angels Lofty, Jelly and Angy, have to make the Wise Men decide to follow the star. During their journey the Wise Men meet the evil Herod and inform him of their trip. On hearing this Herod decides that this new baby who is to be king must die. Meanwhile Mary and Joseph have reached Bethlehem, but due to an overcrowding problem, the only place they can stay is in the stable (you knew that bit was coming didn't you!!). Herod searches the town while the crib is hidden from view by Oxy and Assy. A considerably taller Gabby brings the Three Wise Men to the baby. Just then Herod returns and a big battle ensues. The good guys are victorious and Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus are sent on their way with a happy song.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf

This passionately feminist spellbinder is a fluid collection of vivid prose and free verse narratives performed by young Black women. Almost exclusively concerned with the cavalier and sometimes brutal treatment accorded Black women by their men, they capture inner feelings that infuse a unique universality. Though their performances are mainly solo, the girls are united in sorrow, spirit, pride and soul. Sometimes they sing together and dance together.

Forbidden Broadway Cleans Up Its Act

The leading premise of the show and album is that, like Times Square, FB should drop its raunchy demeanor and "clean up" its parodies. Naturally, the cast fails spectacularly, meanwhile spoofing new shows like Chicago, The Lion King, Ragtime, Titanic, Jekyll and Hyde, and Footloose. They also take stabs at personalities like Rudolph Giuliani, Ann Miller, Julie Taymor, Bebe Neuwirth, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Forever, Heloise

5 out of 10 stars (2 votes)

A truly romantic musical - Abelard and Heloise are nearly as famous a pair of tragic lovers as the fictional Romeo and Juliet; their shared passion for knowledge, religious faith, and one another sealed their destiny. Abelard was a well-respected, 12th-century Parisian scholar and teacher, and Heloise was his talented young student. These two worlds collided with a forbidden lust which resulted in a pregnancy and secret marriage, and when their union could no longer withstand the challenges in its path, each lover sought refuge in the church--Abelard became a monk and Heloise an abbess. The musical is told through Abelard's point of view - (Taken right out of his letters "History of my Calamities")
