Broadway is a major street in New York and is associated with an old and rich history. Apart from the enriched cultural and traditional history, this place is also associated with musicals which are popular all over the world. Live musicals here are among the several attractions that one can expect to find here. This street stretches from W.41st Street to W.53rd Street. Till date there are only four theatres located in the street but irrespective of that, the theatre lovers and the music lovers are just satisfied with the wonderful performances. Many renowned and reputed artists perform their best at the musical theatres located here.

The Broadway musicals can keep the toes tapping and enliven the mood of the audiences with cheer and excitement. The performances here are simply great and it is particularly because of this reason that music lovers come here time and again to get refreshed and relaxed. This in indeed true to a great extent! There are wide varieties of musical performances and each of the performances is different in its own style and nature. The theme is also quite different from any other music and many reputed start perform here.

There are several new versions of Broadway musicals that are still in its way of production. It is expected that some of these would be released soon in the coming season to chill out the excited audiences who have been waiting for long periods of time to witness some differences in the performances in the musicals. Some of the famous classical music that has been produced here includes Legally Blonde, Hairspray, and Fiddler on the Roof. Negotiations are on with many musical companies so that they produce some of the best pieces here and thus further enhance the popularity of the entire place.

The Green Room’s Neo-Variety Show is for those who wish to have a novel theater experience but are not overly-concerned with staying within the confines of ‘legitimate theater’. The Neo-Variety Show offers a grab-bag of short skits and scenes, ranging from the simple and elegant to, sadly, the unutterably stupid. Scene presentation is determined in an impromtu manner by the audience members, who select from a numbered list what scene they would like to see.

A number of the scenes simply did not work for me, such as Dr. Ento, Insect Psychologist, which quickly lost its initial format and diverged into an unlikely mating between a Preying Mantis and a Bee. The scene Nepenthe, based on a Greek word which translates as inducing forgetfulness of sorrow or easing pain, instead develops into a Greek-chorus call for revenge and death. There are, however, a few gems amidst the rubble. Especially effective is The Very Big Deal, a tongue-in-cheek skit which successfully makes use of every double entendre and sexual innuendo in the book. Also worthy of mention are several fake radio spots, titled Active Radio’s Kung Fu, and Active Radio’s Mega Cleaner 2000, which are extremely clever and well done, and provide a nice respite from the sometimes over-zealous activity on stage.

Standout performances from the cast include Mark Barsekian as the show’s M.C., as well as his role as the disinterested lover in The Romance Scene. Barsekian shows great comedic timing and movement throughout. Shallon Ferris has some fine moments, most particularly opposite Barsekian in The Romance Scene and in her pre-show mini-logues (yes, that’s right, a very short mono-logue, delivered intimately to you in your seat). Her passion and zest are infectious, and she often helps carry the energy onstage. The collective dance scene Boogie Oogie makes wonderful use of costumes and masks, and had the audience clapping its hands enthusiastically. Joshua Heuertz’s Custom Scene (the only improvisational piece of the night) was a simple, poignant, yet humorous rendition of an Orpheus-like journey into the underworld of Hades to recover his dead wife.
