Jay's ANYONE CAN WHISTLE recording is Dec 4
2020, 01:57:07 AM
Just gave it a listen on Apple Music - overall I think it’s excellent! I miss these complete studio recordings and I’m thrilled that after all this time it’s finally released.
I think Friedman gives real heart to her numbers and the full orchestra treatment of a rare gem like this is always a real treat. Thank God we live in the digital age where we can add our own artwork though...

Recuperating from Covid and back on BWW Nov 16
2020, 02:31:04 PM
I’m so sorry Dame to hear what happened to you and your husband. It helps having someone like you share your story because while all of us have total Covid fatigue - if just one person reads this and decides the ounce of precaution is worth the pound of protection-you’ll already done more than those in government at the highest levels.
Continue to get well and good thoughts for both of you and mom!

I used to be all for acceptance of others opinions. But somewhere in the last fifteen years or so, we’ve allowed opinions to become “my truth” or alternative reality. Facts are still facts. These lockdowns were a very unfortunate but necessary evil. What proves that fact is that as we’ve opened back up over time and trusted grown adults to simply follow the guidelines - far too many haven’t or make claims of their liberties being violated and here we are again facing what could be more shutdo

Both on the recordings, and the many times I’ve seen Les Miz in person - I always think I’m ready for the first big cannon shots...and I never am.

ALW's Cinderella Sep 13

I love the song, and of course for any ALW fan that big piano interlude mid-song reminds me of his glory days. I’m very excited for this!

Happy Birthday Lee Roy Reams! Aug 23

I met him after a performance of The Producers in Rochester NY. He was an absolute delight and invited us backstage when he realized we had waited a half hour in the freezing temperatures just to meet him-a true gentlemen!

This was a wonderful reminder of what an immense talent he was. You’ll need tissues at the end even though you know what’s coming - and can’t help thinking what might have been...

Are you kidding me?
Brantley is feared?
Tell that to Wicked...
In the age of the internet and social media, legitimate critics are no where near as powerful as they were in the age of the true Butcher of Broadway, Frank Rich....

Footlight Records issues Jul 17
2020, 10:59:03 AM
Obviously theyve never been the same since they shut down their physical location, and their website has been mostly irrelevant in recent years. I searched online a while back to see if I could find a vinyl copy of Jeeves by ALW-I wanted the 70s flop version. Low and behold, Footlight came up as having a CDR copy of the album. I ordered it and it only took a few days to get here (Upstate NY).
The CD has one more track than the track listing and none of the songs are in order-I found

Greatest Theatrical Comedy Performances You Have Seen Jul 17
2020, 10:49:54 AM
The original Broadway cast of Gods of Carnage. That foursome had perhaps the greatest timing and chemistry I’ve ever seen on stage. I’ve never laughed so hard in the legitimate theater in my life as I did that night.

Did Kevin Anderson get fired from Sunset Blvd with Patti Lupone? Jul 13
2020, 02:53:46 PM
I’ve always loved the passionate debate amongst theater folk about this show and Glenn vs Patti vs Betty and so on. It’s like sports fans debating who would have won Ali vs Tyson.
The LA production benefited from a lot of tightening by the creatives-the orchestrations, lighting, changes to the score and the overall mood of the show was given a more fitting film noir quality that the original London production missed on. I’ve always said that for people like me who much prefer the LA r
