I've been organizing theatre groups in the San Francisco, CA area for over 30 years, starting with BEATLEMANIA at SF's Orpheum Theatre. It's not a business, just "What I Did [Do] For Love."
I've double-booked for 5/29/18 evening performance and will attend Hello, Dolly! instead of Frozen.
Have a single balcony seat for sale for Frozen. Row A, seat 1 [aisle]. Asking $90. An actual printed ticket. Please message me for details if interested.
Stephen Spinella was Prior Walter in the original Broadway version of Angels in American and is now playing Roy Cohn in the revival at Berkeley Rep in California. Quite a coup.
"Attended with my group of twenty last night [Thursday] and we all enjoyed it very much. I do agree that Peppermint's costumes were less than glam and several other costumes should be rethought. Lighting, sound, production design were all very good. Cast absolutely sold the story and the audience was very receptive. Use of the Go-Gos songs was inventive for the most part. Tom Kitt's arrange
For some reason my mostly positive review of the production from this past Thursday night is no longer on the board. There was also an additional reply to a query (also delete) about Peppermint's song selection that is no longer up. I'm quite concerned that I'm being reported to MODs simply because of my review, but I will tell all members now that the review was in no way "unseemly" or used harsh language. Has anyone else had this happen on
The songs are listed alphabetically in the program and I'm kind of a novice to Go-Gos tunes, so this may be incorrect. Anyone is free to provide other info. Peppermint sang a bit in Heaven Is A Place On Earth. I think Vision Of Nowness was P.'s big turn. Not certain, but believe one other song was performed by P.

No other cities, states or countriesare considered in the whole wide world. Fact. My other statements are purely my views and my views only."
The Tonys - like the Oscars - are all about commerce. Artistry comes in behind big bucks. Time to wake up and smell the Hamburger Helpe

I thought it was riveting theater: well-acted and well-staged, a first-rate production with no disappointments. The 3-1/2 hours flew by. In general, the characters were realized as I remembered them from the ACT production in San Francisco 25 years ago. So no new revelations, but a certain comfort level like revisiting old friends, which allowed me to relax and just w

Um, it was called Queer As Folk and it ended less than 13 years ago.Google something before announcing dates that are ridiculously off, mmm k?
What a GREAT SHOW. I'm going to watch it on Netflix again. Thanks for reminding me of the brilli
After viewing the "sizzle" reel for Marilyn! - The Musical I propose that a show's trailer/sizzle reel which is less-than-exciting be dubbed a Fizzle Reel. Do you have any nominees?

From what I've heard, Jersey Boys just ran out of steam out there, but that was surprising. As for Phantom, Mackintosh pulled the rights so he could have the only non-Broadway production in the US be his new tour.
