(OFF-) BROADWAY BOUND
Peter and the Starcatchers, the first book Ridley Pearson and I wrote in our Starcatchers series, has been adapted by Rick Elice (he wrote Jersey Boys) as a play, which will be performed at the New York Theatre Workshop starting March 9. The play name has been modified slightly to Peter and the Starcatcher, apparently to avoid the steep New York City tax on plurals. Ridley and I saw the play in workshop form out in La Jolla, California, and we loved it. From time to time I'll post updates about it here; there's also (it goes without saying) a Facebook page.
When's the movie coming out?

This will be just a warm-up for Dave's full-out Broadway production Boogers On Broadway!

Oooh! A real play! Like Spiderman!
You should write a book about the entertainment industrial complex.

For luck, Walter should make a cameo appearance. Like Hitchcock, only oosiky.

Broadway, NY, or Broadway, Ohio?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 17, 2010 at 03:31 PM
Is this like Rocky Horror? Can we throw things?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | December 17, 2010 at 03:48 PM
Good idea, Punkin. Every time someone in the play says "Peter," we could raise our trademarked Walter collectible oosiks.

YAY!! Congrats!
Cindy, the role of "The Dave Barry bloggers" will be played by Edgar.
I hear that Johnny Depp will play Captain Hook, saving the producers TENS of $'s in costume costs.

How long before Dave & Ridley are skipping down 42nd St., arm in arm, singing show tunes and causing us to get really worried about them? NTTAWWT.
For Siouxie: The only NY play with a drinking game.
