Thumbs Up for The Battery's Down

The internet television show I raved about on Sunday's Matinee is called The Battery's Down (www.thebatterysdown.com). It was created, written, directed, and choreographed by a young actor named Jake Wilson who also stars in it. It chronicles his day-to-day life and the trials and tribulations met with while trying to break into a career in musical theatre in New York City. One episode is funnier than the other. And the musical production numbers are wonderful parodies and/or pastiches of legitimate Broadway shows featuring many Broadway stars playing either themselves or hilariously exaggerated characters. I am totally hooked and you know me, when I love something passionately I want to share it with the world. Have a listen. The seed's been planted, it's beginning to bud. I think we're witnessing a new species of flower that will bloom into magnificence. A million thumbs up to The Battery's Down.
