Ain’t Broadway Grand?

Posted by on July 6, 2011

Today’s installment of the gag strip Grand Avenue by Steve Breen and Mike Thompson, found on that exemplary aggregator of sequential art GoComics.com.
Interesting iconography. What’s the last Broadway show to involve a toga? The Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum revival of 15 years ago? Nathan Lane’s The Frogs seven years ago? Has there been a period production of a Greek drama—or a Shakespeare play set in Greece or Rome not directorially transmuted to another era—since, say, the 1930s?
We quibble. Always nice to see theater jokes in the daily comics. We despair of finding them anywhere outside of Apartment 3-G.
