Ok, that one sucked, but you get the idea.The revue was conceived by Walter Bobbie, who directed 'Chicago' and 'Footloose' on Broadway. Need an example? “Mack the Knife” – A musical about an angry McDonald’s sandwich who goes on a vengeful killing spree and then grinds his victims up in a meat grinder and serves them to McDonald’s patrons. and you could win two tickets to see Amazing Grace. and bonus points when you give me a tag line that tells me what it’s about. Tell me what song you’d like to see adapted into a musical. What other songs could make great musicals? Now that’s a title that tells you what the show is about, am I right?Īnd like the title of this blog says, I’m giving away two tickets!Īmazing Grace could be the first show ever based on a song (except for Barry Manilow’s Copacabana, but since that never made it to Broadway, it doesn’t count (it does have some awesome tunes, though)). To quote the show’s website, “ Amazing Grace is a new original musical based on the awe-inspiring true story behind the world’s most beloved song.” You get one guess, and if you don’t get it right, I’m taking your Sondheim albums away. What’s it about? Well, I’ll give you two guesses.

Believe it or don’t believe it, but the Broadway season is already underway, with a brand new musical, Amazing Grace, already in previews at the Nederlander Theatre with an opening date just over a week away!
