I am absolutely mind croggled. Utterly speechless.
The “Beautiful Soup Theater Collective” did a revival of “Moose Murders” by Arthur Bicknell.
Why does this leave me stunned? Because “Moose Murders” is a legendary fiasco, one that opened and closed on the same night. Here’s the original Frank Rich review from the NYT.
And here’s Charles Isherwood’s review of the revival:
…the odium surrounding “Moose Murders” was not founded on myth. Although Mr. Bicknell has apparently done some rewriting — a reference to Martha Stewart would have been obscure three decades ago — the play is every bit as inane and inept as history has recorded. And, sad to say, there’s no joy to be had in attending its exhumation. It’s like attending a wake for someone who died 30 years ago, then being served Champagne that’s been sitting open during the interim.
(By the way, the producers of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” say they’ve “re-shuffled” funds and are going ahead. Previously.)
