This musical comedy takes a page from reality for a concept that doesn't stray too far from the, well, far-fetched ideas that sometimes spring from the minds of up-and-coming off-Broadway producers. In this case, the duo want to create an epic extravaganza that spans the history of the world from the big bang to the present -- played by the audience. The budget is 83.5 million; the cast numbers 318; the costumes top 6,000; the runtime is 12 hours; and the audience is in for a hilarious farce that includes guest spots by Adam and Eve, the Virgin Mary, Plato, Napoleon, Caesar, Attila the Hun, Columbus, Pocahontas, Mrs. Gandhi and Cher...to name a few.

I’m glad the folks at American Stage love British comedy as much as I do. They're currently producing Noel Coward’s tongue-in-cheek comedy classic, Blithe Spirit, which tells the story of a novelist who invites a medium into his house hoping to gather new material. In typical British style, everything goes hilariously awry when the ghost of his late wife reappears and attempts to scare away his current wife. Kind of like an episode of Friends, if Patrick Swayze was there, and everyone ate tea and crumpets. Visit americanstage.org for more info.
