Next Mel Brooks musical Jan 31, 04:59:34 AM THE PRODUCERS was one of the most brilliantly twisted and hilarious shows I've ever seen. I loved every second of it.
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN was fine but not nearly as good as THE PRODUCERS. YF came to New York with astronomically high expectations, for multiple reasons. It didn't meet them at all (really, how could it?), but I still enjoyed myself and had fun when I saw it, to a certain extent.
I'd still love to see YF's weekly grosses. I'm very curious...
TIME STANDS STILL Reviews Jan 29, 04:59:23 PM NY1 is positive: "Donald Margulies won a Pulitzer Prize for his play "Dinner With Friends" 10 years ago. Lightning isn't likely to strike twice with his latest, "Time Stands Still," another four character relationship drama. But it's still an impressive work that serves as a dynamite showcase for some stellar acting.
...
For all its virtues, the play doesn't wholly succeed. It's a situation drama with a narrow premise that tends to contrive its conflicts and the char
"At the end of the day, you just can't beat a good, taut yarn. And that's exactly what Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge" is, barreling down toward an ending that's as shocking as it is inescapable. From the first minute, we know it's all going to end in tears, and we can only watch in dismayed apprehension.

Rarely has a character shown so much appetite for self-destruction as Eddie, and Schreibe
Glee just won best ensemble at the Sag Awards Jan 24, 09:51:56 PM Robert Taylor, I didn't forget that the award was for Best Ensemble. MF's collective ensemble is much better than GLEE's in my mind but I guess you can't beat an ensemble that sings, dances, and acts. Which is why I understand why GLEE won. But MF's material is much more challenging comedic work and the cast makes it look easy as pie, which is why MF deserved it IMO.

I agree, to some extent with what WishingOnlyWounds said and I also think this is a ridiculous statement. Just because it's a show with showtunes and Broadway names doesn't mean A) it's better than MODERN FAMILY B) it's particularly well-crafted show C) that anyone who
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE Reviews Jan 24, 08:44:19 PM Very, very well-deserved reviews so far. Especially for Liev. He's exceptional.
Glee just won best ensemble at the Sag Awards Jan 24, 02:57:59 PM Both awards GLEE has won (the GG and the SAG) both more than deserved to be awarded to the consistently brilliant, wildly clever, and hilarious MODERN FAMILY.
MODERN FAMILY is on a different level than GLEE. That, to me, is almost inarguable. GLEE is cute and fun. MODERN FAMILY is the funniest and best-acted sitcom to hit TV in a very long time.
