Lippa's THE WILD PARTY Comes Back to NYC!

(I haven't blogged in a month.  I've been busy.  This is why.)

Remember that time a little more than ten years ago when Andrew Lippa wrote a superfantastic show called The Wild Party and it never came to Broadway because Lachuisa's version was already on Broadway?  Don't you hate that?  Yeah, me too!

SOOOOO the cool kids at the Mimes and Mummers up here in the Bronx thought that it was time for The Wild Party to come back to NYC (which, yes, includes boroughs that are not Manhattan.  Although the status of Staten Island is debated).  AND WE ARE BRINGING IT TO YOU, NEW YORK!!!

Also, check out the story that The Ram wrote about us this week... it's pretty hot: http://www.theramonline.com/culture/mimes-mummers-bring-the-wild-party-to-fordham-1.2477775

So really... before you go party it up on Friday and Saturday nights (and Thursday and Sunday, too, if that's what you're into), come to the REAL party... The WILD Party, the show so scandalous that Fordham doesn't even want you to see our poster on campus.  No, really.  It's that hot.

DON'T YOU WANT TO BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY???
