Getting Ready To Rumble

Conventional wisdom says that Broadway only has room for one smashingly successful blockbuster musical per season. But this year, Spamalot will be going head-to-head with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, with plenty of star power, Hollwyood glitz, and industry buzz on each side. Michael Riedel can’t wait to see who wins: “At this point, I’m not betting on either combatant. I’m just looking forward to the struggle. Let’s hope it’s bloody, with dashed hopes and dreams all over the place.”
