This week’s Schmooze, with news from 6 musicals,  could almost be a musical in itself. A columnist unites twins separated at birth, then watches while a shoe factory musical is born, finds out the butcher and a mysterious cell phone man can be pretty scary in the dark, gets lessons from kids about ensemble work, and gets to say ‘I knew it!’ to his favorite theatre buddies. 

That’s Joel’s roundup of Blood Brothers, iMusical: The Improvised Musical, 1776, Sweeney Todd, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, and Spring Awakening, appearing now in this week’s Theatre Schmooze.
