Synopsis
Four young men reunite at their high
school football field one year after graduation. The original intent
was to pull a prank on one of their ex-high school's athletic
rivals. The night turns out differently than expected as revelations
are made, doubts are voiced and confidences are breached
The Road to Broadway
Glory Days came to Broadway
straight from its premiere at Virgina's Signature Theater in a
January-February 2008 run. Also directed there by Mr Schaeffer, the
original cast followed the show to NYC
What Happened?
This is much too hard a question for
us to answer as we never got to use out tickets. The producers cited
weak advance sales for their decision to close the show. Those weak
sales, of course, were the result of weak word of mouth among
preview audiences and and generally lukewarm to weak reviews. The
general consensus appears to be that the show was rushed to Broadway
without needed development work; it just wasn't ready for prime time
