Bravo to Aaron Riccio
...whose smackdown of the just-announced Spike Lee-directed Broadway revival of Stalag 17 on his blog, Metadrama, is right on target. Also, why has this announcement been greeted with almost no blogosphere reaction? Are people afraid to actually say, "What up, yo? What's he doin'?" Does no one think this idea is as nutty as that other announcement, earlier this year, that the all-black revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was going to kick 273-time Tony-winner Audra McDonald to the curb in favor of some more impressive thespian like Beyonce? I mean, great, Spike Lee wants to direct a play, but Stalag 17? How about -- as Aaron suggests -- a new play? Where's the outrage? Where's the shock? Where's the beef? Where's Susan Powter? Stop the insanity!
