I found this interesting article from Canada's Globe and Mail.
Adam Blanshay
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Adam is a smart and ambitious guy, exactly what you want in a young Broadway producer.
He may very well turn out to be our next David Merrick.

can't open the link (already used my 10 free visits to G & M)
but isn't that kinda a backhanded compliment?

Posted: 1/25/14 at 12:56pmIt's a compliment. David Merrick, warts and all, is and was probably the greatest Broadway producer.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Posted: 1/25/14 at 7:10pmBlanchay sounds like a decent guy, JFL Theatricals is involved with many new shows like Made in Dagenham and I Can't Sing! plus plays like Ghosts and Mojo so he's working with experienced producers like Sonia Friedman, Stage Entertainment etc before he can branch out as a lead producer.
