Shrek has closed and the party is now "ogre" on Broadway. Did you get that? Ogre instead of over? Funny huh? The producers of the show sure thought so...
Anyway, Promises, Promises starring Sean Hayes and Kristen Chenowith is moving in to the same theatre that the green monster played, The Broadway Theatre on, you guessed it, Broadway! Here are some snap shots of the change over in process. Click HERE to read more about the show...

It's Turkey Lurkey time on Broadway...


Sean Hayes (Jack from "Will and Grace") and Kristen Chenowith ("Pushing Daisies" and "Wicked" on Broadway) will be starring in the Broadway revival of "Promises, Promises" this Spring.
You have to hand it to Hayes for fighting to bounce back after the "I was on a sit-com for 8 years" curse. He has stayed active showing up in guest-star roles on "30 Rock" and some small movies, but this will be his biggest success since the show ended. It also marks his Broadway debut (he was in "Damn Yankees" last year at City Center Encores!).
Kristen Chenowith keeps raking in the success, having just won an Emmy for her work in "Pushing Daisies". She was last seen on Broadway in "The Apple Tree" (Tony nom.).
"Promises, Promises" by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) and Neil Simon (book) has never had a Broadway revival. The original played 1968 - 1972 (1,268 performances). The show features the songs, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", "Knowing When to Leave", and of course, the ever classic "Turkey Lurkey Time"!
Check out the "CAMP" film version of "Turkey Lurkey" below, it's always good for a laugh...
