Phil Jackson will resign as head coach and the world will suddenly realize that Jerry Buss and Jerry West are actually Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf...
...wait for these shows to make the long trip to the stage, the first post-Producers movie-inspired musical is already here: The It Girl, about the life of silent-screen-star Clara Bow, which New York City's York Theater Company has just opened off-Broadway...
