What are your favorite uptempo (110-140 bpm) songs in 4/4? Putting together a mix for the gym and I only was able to come up with a handful. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
Her final quote is something everyone should be saying and I have had that thought for years. I'm glad someone finally expressed it bluntly and without sugar coating it.
Having it come from Patti was just the cherry on top. I say, be as Elaine Stritch-y as you want - the world needs more of that!
Oh my. I think I nearly fainted. They would be IDEAL to lead Hello, Dolly somewhere! It would allow them both to do their "schtick" and serve the show perfectly.
I was lucky enough to catch Nick opening/supporting Megan's band (can't remember the name of the other vocalist). The way they play off each other is incredible! I mean, can you imagine the Harmonia Gardens scene and soon after, Megan chowing down those dumplings??? And then the deep sincerity of the closing
I'm offended that someone thinks audience members can't analyze and figure out what to make of shows without a talk back or framing device. Show Boat isn't for every theatre company and it isn't for every theatregoer (what shows are?), but I see no reason why we need to blacklist the show completely. It's ok to present a work as-is and challenge your audience to make their own conclusions. Now, if you're taking an audience of high schoolers to Show Boat, I would d
Disclaimer: I haven't seen Showboat since the Prince revival and I was very young at the time and I am not familiar with all the different variations, revisions, etc.
I'm gonna mobbed for this one, but why can't "problematic" pieces be presented as they are? The times reflected in the piece were problematic. The people and choices in that time were problematic. Julie's story is problematic, but very real and I feel provides the most commentary and illuminating
As I posted previously, Linda does a holiday concert in Minnesota every year and it's usually announced in early October. This year it's not in the Twin Cities, it's in Mankato (about an hour drive from Mpls). Ticketmaster has all the details: Beto O'Rourke DID NOT Like the Will Rogers Follies Back in 1991 Oct 3

No, we should hate Will Rogers Follies because it's nothing more than a footnote in history and stole the prize from MISS SAIGON. When it finally found it's home in Branson, I felt vindicated.
I want to like this show, mostly because it's exactly what happened to me in high school (well, nobody showed up to help me challenge the school on their decision and there was no happy ending). It has a solid cast, but nothing that I think will attract big tourist crowds. Perhaps there's a chance this could get a loyal fanbase with a younger demographic due to its' plot. Young fanbases seem to be able to help shows that might otherwise not succeed nowadays... It will be interesti
Interesting. I had heard she lived in the metro area, but haven't been to her house or anything. It makes there is some connection with Brainerd (although that's not a suburb - it's several hours from the cities), since she does do the holiday show here (or maybe tours it?). The holiday shows are normally the very first part of December - I feel like one may have even been the weekend right after Thanksgiving. Linda's about the only event I leave my house for during those
Linda does an annual holiday show in the Twin Cities (I believe she was born in Chanhassen and lives near the area currently). It's sad she's not on B'way, but that concert is a yearly tradition and she blows us away every single time. I have had the chance to meet her several times and she is nothing but kind and generous.
Honestly, this is a rehash of a rehash. ALW used to claim up and down in interviews that Starlight Express was his "modern Cinderella tale" and we see how that turned out. I find it amusing he would return to the same idea - and one that's been rehashed to death by everyone - to try for something better this time. I wish he'd try something different... maybe "Aspects of Love 2: Giulietta's Revenge"!
Oh yes, Buckley's "New Ways To Dream" EP for the show is worth every penny, if you can find it. While I do love so many Normas for so many reasons, she really delivers it vocally/technically and theatrically, where others seem to find it difficult to deliver so well on both.
I CANNOT believe that the World Premiere Recording is even still a thing after all the changes that were implemented after. He must earn more from that recording or there is a definite reason why
I applaud FX for not giving us gay trash/reality tv with recycled stereotypes and actually presenting stories with depth, a point of view, and something to say. I cannot say that for the other "gay" networks that have been mentioned in this thread.
To bring it back to Fosse, "whatever happened to class?"

OH WOW. Now that is a production I'm all for. I love when people get crazy and experimental with musical revivals and that is literally out of this world. I want to talk with the director and try to learn more about the vision and purpose behind this one!!! I know it was meant to be a joke, but I'm seriously curious about this one now!
OMFG! A signed Mackie sketch!!! That's incredible! May I ask how you scored that? Was it a favor, a simple mail-in request, a charity auction, or...? I would love to have something like that. I didn't really appreciate all that Bob did to help create CHER before this show and the costumes were on fire!!!
