The Scene for February 3, 2012

It's hard to believe that it's already February; the good news is that means that the Theatre Season is in full swing.

But alas, there's some not-so-good news;
  • Anagram Entertainment  has had to delay its opening of Top Gun: The Musical due to an illness in the cast. We know you're heartbroken, but you'll be able to see it starting Thursday February 9th at Empire Stage.  And then you'll believe a jet can fly.
  • Sadly, we might have to wait a bit longer for the next show at The Women's Theatre Project, which recently lost its venue.  It hasn't been able to find a suitable alternative, so it's postponed the rest of its season until it finds a space.  But we have no doubt that they'll be back on the scene before too long.
In the meantime; here are shows that are playing around South Florida...
