My man-crush on Ben Folds reaches new heights tomorrow night (March 26) as the New York Musical Theatre Festival kicks off its first-ever Spring Concert Series with a production of "More Unauthorized Musicology of Ben Folds". Judging from the preview article at Broadwayworld.com, the show kinda seems like a star-studded jukebox musical in the tradition of such cash cows as Mamma Mia! and Movin' Out.

Of course, anyone familiar with Folds' music certainly knows the guy has a knack for sing-along melodies and character-driven songwriting, making him a favorite pop star of musical theatre nerds everywhere. And while I'm a little leery of Folds' ouvre being adapted for Broadway like this, I do take some comfort in knowing that the proceeds of the event will support the production of new musicals at NYMF, now in its fourth year. Besides, I think I'd give just about anything to see Manoel Felciano in a show-stopping, Busby Berkeley-style rendition of "The Secret Life of Morgan Davis".

If you click over to BroadwayWorld.com now, you can even get a $20 discount on tickets to the event. So what are you waiting for?
