WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In the grand tradition of West Side Story and The Lion King comes the next great American musical... but until then, there's Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, Martin Short's uproarious Broadway extravaganza, with huge and unnecessary set changes, stampeding livestock, unpatented pyrotechnics, and a live birth at select matinees. Filling the stage with unforgettable characters (along with a brilliant troupe of top Broadway performers and musicians, who upstage Mr. Short whenever he lets them), and co-written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (who don't need the money because they wrote Hairspray), Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me brings over 20 years of comic genius to the Broadway stage - and leaves it there. Scott Wittman directs.
The highly acclaimed original Broadway cast reunites for the final two weeks of performances when Nicole Parker returns December 26 through January 7.

Some say that the once popular television variety hour format has morphed into programs like American Idol, where viewers' hunger for songs and big yuks -- e.g., Simon Cowell subduing Paula Abdul -- is satisfied. This may be so, but an example of the original genre is now also available on Broadway in Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, which contains about the same entertainment quotient as a so-so edition of the gone-but-not-forgotten Carol Burnett Show. All of the familiar ingredients are included: send-ups of TV programs, movies, and Broadway musicals; the second-banana contingent; the guest star who breaks up while trading lines with the headliner; a plethora of splashy sets, costumes, and[...]
