“I’ve stood on bread lines with the best,
Watched while the headlines did the rest,
In the Depression, was I depressed?
Nowhere near.
I met a big financier,
And I’m here.”
Well it turns out last year’s program of global superhero oddities didn’t exactly net us the mainstream recognition and billion-dollar box office gross we were hoping for, so this year Spectacle is turning the limelight on another quintessentially American art form: musical theater.
With Tony Awards season in full swing and some of Hollywood’s best and brightest back treading the boards up and down Broadway, we figured now is as good a time as any to appeal to New York’s illustrious theater elite to fill the coffers of our humble little black box theater. So this month, we’re bringing stage to screen with five cinematic gems spotlighting the shows, songs, and stars of the Great White Way, all in the hopes of raking in some of that sweet, sweet green.
But fear not, lowly moviegoers, because even though The Legitimate Stage is the theme behind this installment of $pectacle $ells Out!, these are far from mere proshots or taped rehearsals. On the contrary, each work presented here has its own unique cinematic flair rendering them specific to the medium. Because Spectacle is after all— or at least until we’re able to get in good with the Shubert Organization— still a movie theater.
So, curtain up!
Light the lights!
We’ve got nothing to hit but the… “play” button in VLC…
This June, everything’s coming up $$$pectacle for me and for you
