Adding Machine to Close July 20th
The critically acclaimed Off-Broadway musical Adding Machine will end its run at the Minetta Lane Theater on July 20th. The show had extended its limited run through August 31st, but apparently sales weren't brisk enough to justify that extension.
If you haven't already seen Adding Machine, I can't recommend it highly enough. As I said in my review, it's a continually surprising show, confounding your expectations at every turn. Since the cast album came out, I've been listening to practically nothing else. The score just gets richer and more interesting the more I hear it. I'm seeing the show again this Thursday as part of my July 4th theater weekend. (New York City in July? Oh, the humanity.)
See the show. Buy the CD. This is easily the best musical of the past season, on or off Broadway.
Noooo! I wanted to see this, but I won't be moving down into the US until the middle of August! And right now, I'm in Calgary, which is a little far...

Dorian,
That's a real shame. As I said, it's easily the best musical of the season. I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot of regional productions, though, so you'll likely have a chance to see it eventually.
Or you might try finding a pirated video. But we don't approve of that sort of thing, now do we?
