TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY: In 2005, Joe Brooks' musical In My Life opens on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre. In the show, an androgynous angel-like character flies through heaven and plots "God's reality opera," which stars a singer-songwriter who has Tourette Syndrome. It also includes a band of pirates, dancing skeletons, and heavenly denizens singing jingles about Dr. Pepper and Volkswagen. Jessica Boevers, Christopher J. Hanke and David Turner star. Baffling critics and audiences alike, In My Life closes after 61 performances. The show's swing Jonathan Groff, who made his Broadway debut in the production, will return to Broadway a year later as one of the stars of Spring Awakening.
