Bad news for lovers of bad musicals--Playbill reports that noted author-composer-librettist Leslie Bricusse has dropped out of the creative team working to bring a musical version of the 1993 Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan vehicle to the stage. Whether this will delay the musical's release is unknown; the original film featured numerous Seattle location shots, including Alki, Lake Union, and a luxury suite at the historic Sorrento Hotel.

There is a film by which the love all Seattleites have for the Emerald City can be measured. Can you stomach the whole movie; Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks and a cute kid for 105 minutes? Doubtful. But how long will you watch this TBS mainstay while waiting for the scene where he rows a boat from Lake Union to Alki or just one more shot of The Houseboat's exterior? Five minutes? One commercial break? Two? Up until the movie moves to Manhattan? That's very near the end and your iron constitution and love for the city far exceeds Seattlest's.

Everyone's taking their sig other out to some restaurant tonight (where they'll be ordering off of the Valentine's Day Special $20 for three courses menu instead of the real deal). If you don't already have reservations you're not going to get in anywhere good anyway. Be different. We offer you a few last-minute Valentine's Day alternatives.
