Boston before Broadway

Some cool stuff (the touring company of "Spring Awakening," Chazz Palminteri in a solo version of his "A Bronx Tale") and some traditional show biz (musical versions of "Dirty Dancing" and "Legally Blond") top the '08-09 Broadway Across America - Boston season. And whoever gets tired of "A Chorus Line," right? Right? Also on tap are Harry Connick in a new Gershwin-based musical and a revival of "Brigadoon," both shows hitting Boston before Broadway, just like in the old days. I wouldn't get too jacked about that becoming the norm again, though. Tix here.
