I've been listening to the Patti LuPone 'Live' double CD which she released in 1993, recorded in Los Angeles as she was getting ready to leave for London ("Sunset Boulevard". I was previously familiar with LuPone from the 'Evita' and 'Anything Goes' cast albums, and was excited when she released this.
I'm not sure what it is, but there's always been something &#
Friends of mine saw HELLO DOLLY in Boston last night, and said the show was incredible. This was their first time seeing it on-stage, but very familiar with the Streisand movie. They thought Buckley was sensational, and the whole cast was incredible. They posted a few photos on Facebook from the outside of the theater, and their view from their seats - great seats!
So glad they went (this couple needed a jolt of 'Dolly' right now) and enjoyed.
"There's no such thing as 'bad press' so long as they spell your name correctly."
Celebrities know this to be true - especially these days. If it weren't for 'bad press' on social sites, TV talk shows, gossip columns - we wouldn't hear about some of these 'celebrities' at all.
With Matthew Lombardo's "Tea At FIve" making the news this summer, I have a question about his other production "Looped" which closed after a few weeks in the Spring of 2010.
Did anyone see the play, and was it as bad as some of the reviews suggest?
Was Harper deserving of the nomination?
I also read where a national tour with Harper was planned (after her Tony nod), but she dropped out after learning of her diagnosis of terminal brain cancer
What was the problems with TARZAN and THE LITTLE MERMAID ? (I avoided them during my Broadway visits). Were they flops for Disney? How long did they last on Broadway?
This was in the NY Post a few weeks ago, just before his show opened and the box office was already struggling to sell tickets past his opening weekend:
Manilow’s looming flameout has surprised a few insiders, who note that in April he extended a residency in Las Vegas after performing his 500th show at the International Theater at Westgate.

Streisand hates the 8 performances a week schedule but the show could have shortened performance schedule to let both ladies rest. Harvey Fierstein can expand the role of Mrs. Brice and some Jule Styne or Bob Merrilltrunk songs could be rehashed for the character. Heck, Steven Spielberg could make his Broadway directorial d
Same with me. I have an iPhone 6S and nothing ever happens when I click on the red-lettered links on this forum - that's been happening for a very long time, not just a few weeks.
On other message forums, I have no problem clicking on a link and being brought to the webpage.

Never saw it, though a friend of mine was dating someone who was one of the musicians when it first opened, and this guy stayed with it for a few years. He was able to get me tickets to it, though I had no interest and didn't take up his multiple (generous) offers whenever I was in town.
