Oh My

Fresh off the AP wires, apparently a producing company in London is planning a Blondie jukebox musical based on, get this, Desperately Seeking Susan. Personally I'd prefer Shanghai Surprise, but that's just me. No opening date was given, but the lead role has been cast and Debbie Harry has written additional songs for the show. I'm still kind of in shock so there's not much more to say.

Some good news, I looked up emusic last night and not only do they have March of the Falsettos (in non-DRM mp3 format), they also have the Broadway version of Grey Gardens. Unfortunately that's about the extent of their showtune offerings but that's enough for me. With a 2 week free trial and 25 free downloads, I should be able to get both of the albums for very little money. That's a lot better than having to do an audio capture.
