<p>"...funniest, most spirited and downright goofy 80-minute survey of history we've ever seen."&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em><br /><br />Not since Batman and Robin...has there been a duo as dynamic as Ben Dibble and <strong style="font-size: 150%;">Tony Braithwaite</strong> in The Big Bang..."&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<em>Philadelphia Weekly</em><br /><br /><strong style="font-size: 150%;">Tony Braithwaite</strong> and Ben Dibble...create a partnership soon to be legendary...when the two fellows sing, the house comes down."&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<em>City Paper</em>&nbsp;<br /><br />Have you ever dreamed of getting involved in a big-time Broadway Production? Join us in the elegant (borrowed) Park Avenue apartment of Dr. Sid and Sylvia Lipbalm as two wannabe producers, Jed and Boyd (Ben Dibble and Tony Braithwaite), try to line up backers for The Big Bang, the most expensive and lavish Broadway musical ever written. With a budget of $83,000,000, a cast of 318 wearing 6,428 costumes and 1,400 wigs, the pitched show will depict the entire history of the world - from the formation of the planets to the building of the pyramids, from Napoleon's France to present. Some of the most famous people in history appear including Adam and Eve, Nefertiti and the slaves, Ceaser, Mrs. Ghandi, Attila, Columbus, Minnehaha, Tokyo Rose, Eva Braun and more. Will their enthusiastic narration of&nbsp;<em>The Big Bang</em>&nbsp;be convincing enough to get this show on Broadway?</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.tonybraithwaite.com/news/rss-comments-entry-12700726.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Prisoner of 2nd Avenue runs thru July 16th!</title><dc:creator>Tony Braithwaite</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:29:41 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.tonybraithwaite.com/news/2011/7/5/prisoner-of-2nd-avenue-runs-thru-july-16th.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">258044:2737278:12014802</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/phillyburbs.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/1/6e/16e55895-e62b-5903-936e-72911f04f985/4e03bc26178ae.preview-200.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1309890628795" alt="" /></span></span></p>
