Adding Machine Extends Through Summer

Adding_machine_cd The critically acclaimed Off-Broadway musical Adding Machine has extended its run again. The show is now scheduled to play at the Minetta Lane Theater until August 31st.

If you haven't seen it, go. Just go. (See my review here) From the title and the plot description, you might get the impression that this show is a dull depression-fest, but it's actually quite lively and uplifting. Sure it's dark, but so are The Threepenny Opera and The Cradle Will Rock, two shows that bear strong comparison with Adding Machine. This is easily the best new musical of the season, on or off Broadway, and anyone who cares about the future of musical theater owes it to himself/herself to take in this subversively brilliant show.

On a related note, PS Classics will be releasing the cast recording for Adding Machine on June 3rd, but the CD will be available at the theater and at the PS Classics Web site two weeks prior. See the show, then buy the CD. Then see the show again.

April 25, 2008 in Cast recordings, Off Broadway |

    Musicals You Should See

    • Avenue Q
      The original "little show that could." Funny and fresh. See it before it closes September 13th.
    • Hair
      A powerful production of an important and entertaining show. Even better on Broadway.
    • Next to Normal
      A stirring, heartrending show, with terrific performances, and an electrifying score. The message may be suspect, but the talent is undeniable.
    • Rock of Ages
      An infectious, good time of a show. Surprisingly funny and sweet.
    • Spring Awakening
      Raw and vital. Full of strong performances and imaginative staging. The Broadway production has closed, but you can still catch it on tour.
    • The Fantasticks
      A timeless little gem of a show with a universal message.
    • West Side Story
      A dynamite cast, that amazing score, and Jerome Robbins' original choreography lovingly recreated. 'Nuff said.
    • Wicked
      I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love Wicked. Sure, it's a spectacle, but it's got a brain and a heart, too.
