People Who Could Use A Good Shoe Thrown At Them: An Ongoing Series.

They mess up, and I send ‘em a message with a Cole Haan to the noggin. Feel free to play along.

Today’s target: the folks who are single-handedly destroying Broadway by creating Shrek The Musical. Broadway used to be the bastion of original ideas. Now it caters to mouth-breathing tourists with nonsensical children’s movies converted into “art.”

Shrek the Musical? I got the left shoe reserved for David Lindsay-Abaire, who wrote the lyrics, and the right aimed at Jeanne Tesori, who wrote the music.

The folks who bring us Legally Blonde and Mama Mia on Broadway should consider themselves on orange alert, because they’re next.
