Michael Dale - Page 150

Michael Dale After 20-odd years singing, dancing and acting in dinner theatres, summer stocks and the ever-popular audience participation murder mysteries (try improvising with audiences after they?ve had two hours of open bar), Michael Dale segued his theatrical ambitions into playwriting. The buildings which once housed the 5 Off-Off Broadway plays he penned have all been destroyed or turned into a Starbucks, but his name remains the answer to the trivia question, "Who wrote the official play of Babe Ruth's 100th Birthday?" He served as Artistic Director for The Play's The Thing Theatre Company, helping to bring free live theatre to underserved communities, and dabbled a bit in stage managing and in directing cabaret shows before answering the call (it was an email, actually) to become BroadwayWorld.com's first Chief Theatre Critic. While not attending shows Michael can be seen at Citi Field pleading for the Mets to stop imploding. Likes: Strong book musicals and ambitious new works. Dislikes: Unprepared celebrities making their stage acting debuts by starring on Broadway and weak bullpens.

How To Save The World... In 90 Minutes: Mission Aborted

November 12, 2006

The uninspired book and lyrics of this musical farce about political and romantic antics at the United Nations exercises veto power over the best efforts of a very talented supporting cast and some pleasant and catchy tunes

Moira Danis Sings Petula Clark in Beautiful Sounds

November 11, 2006

A thoroughly charming cabaret show saluting the international, bilingual star who has topped the pop charts in many countries, played leading roles in both Broadway and West End musicals, and even wrote a hit or two.

A Chorus Line: Again...

November 10, 2006

Perhaps the next time A Chorus Line is produced on Broadway, a new director will have a wonderful new vision for the material.

Mimi le Duck: Fowl Play

November 7, 2006

Annie Golden and Eartha Kitt lead a solid cast of musical theatre performers in a tepid musical that would aspire to be bland

Evil Dead: The Musical: Inishmore Was For Wussies

November 1, 2006

For those very cultured New York theatre-goers who felt last season's Martin McDonagh bloodbath The Lieutenant of Inishmore wasn't quite graphically violent enough to satisfy their very refined tastes, might I suggest an evening at the latest offering to grace the Off-Broadway stage, Evil Dead: The

October 24, 2006

A precocious young girl once said that nothing can ruin a show like too much exposition, and Act I of Simon Mendes da Costa's comedy/drama is loaded with the stuff
