Silence the Reading

I apologize for my lateness. I have officially just gotten my first apartment in New York.

I will try to put up my review of "The Scene" sometime later this week.

However, in the meantime, I need to get this out. This past Monday, I attended a reading of Silence the Musical! Hunter Bell's new show. Now, I have to admit that I was entertained, but then again Silence of the Lambs, the 1991 Academy Award Winner, is one of my favorite films of all time. With artists like Dequina Moore, Andrew Call, and Lisa Howard, the show wasn't exactly painful to watch. However, it wasn't exactly anything that I am going to be putting my money into. I was more entertained by the Broadway Celebs in the audience, to name a few: Barret Foa, Alexander Gemignani, Hunter Bell, the bookwriter, and a couple of people that looked familiar, but unless you are super important I really won't know your name.

The show has some great numbers like, "I'd Fuck Me" and "The Silence of the Lambs", there were several numbers where the vulgarity (And there is a lot of vulgarity) made me laugh out loud. However, these moments only happened because I was so familiar with all the inside jokes of the musical. I enjoyed the show, but the guy I went with wasn't crazy about the show at all. At least, it didn't appear so.

I hope that Silence raises the $500,000 it is trying to, but they won't be getting a dime from me.
