Bronx Tale Final Curtain Call  Aug 5 2018, 09:10:46 PM

I saw it last year and found the whole thing to be very "meh".  So much of it seemed derivative of other, better musicals.  I remember when I chose it as my fill-in show that at least it would have a good score, as I really like Menken's work.  But even that did not impress me.  And I found it impossible to sympathize with/identify with/ or feel anything but contempt for the character of Sonny --I mean, the first thing he does is murder two people in col

Freaky Friday Disney Channel soundtrack  Jul 31 2018, 10:16:10 PM

Too bad.  When I saw the show "After All of This and Everything" was the one song that made me tear up.  It's really a turning point for the character, her "Realization" song; realizing how she feels about her mom's new husband, and realizing that she really loves her little brother.  Without that song, I fear the movie will lose the heart that the show had.

Is  Jul 21 2018, 06:44:03 PM

So may critics today need to point out the cultural/racial/sexual deficiencies of those in our past in an effort to show-off their own sensitivities to such issues.  I believe the term is "Virtue Signaling".  



Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread  Jun 30 2018, 02:49:48 AM

What should I do if I want to exchange tickets ?  I bought two tickets for Labor Day weekend for myself and my son in row U for about $150 each (x2 shows of course).  Now my other son wants to go.  I would like to see if I can buy 3 seats together, preferably for at the same price point and maybe closer than row U which I hear the overhang of the Dress Circle obstructs some effects.  Should I call the box office?  How are they about exchanging tickets? 



Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread  Jun 16 2018, 01:22:31 AM

Buying tickets to this show is unbelievably frustrating! 

Their website chooses your seat and that is it.  If I don't like those seats I have no other options.  Yes, I can release the seats.  But then when I go back and quick on "Find Tickets" for the same performance, I get the exact same seats I just released.  I released them because I WANT TO SIT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!  I don't LIKE those seats! How do I get different seats when I release s

I was wondering the same thing. You can only see a video once?  Do they really keep the names of every patron who watches a video and the title they watched?  I suppose in this day and age of computer data bases it is not that hard to do, I am just not sure wh


One more Irene Ryan mystery  May 21 2018, 10:41:38 PM

"Turns out they did have small (enough) audio recorders at the time,"

I know of several audio recordings that predate this PIPPIN recording by close to a decade.  There is an audio of the pre-Broadway tour of OLIVER!, the final performance of the Original Broadway Cast of CAMELOT, of course most are familiar with the Streisand FUNNY GIRL recording, as well as Merman in GYPSY.  Those would all be from the 60s.  Are there any older than that? 



Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread  May 21 2018, 10:04:20 PM

Wow!  I just logged into Ticketmaster to check seat availability.  Usually when I have done this in the past, I was number 3 or 4 in line and entered in a matter of seconds. Ten PM on a Monday and I have 2,930 people ahead of me!

I tried for the Firday Forty yesterday for the first time.  When you go to the site you are asked to type in your email and phone number, which I did.  Then to the right of the screen that is a list of the week's performances with a bubble in front of each.  I assumed that I was to pick the shows I was interested in attending by clicking on the bubble in front of the date, which I did.  I clicked on Saturday's and Sunday's shows and the bubbles indicated that I

THE SECRET GARDEN Revival Set for 2018-2019 Season  May 10 2018, 08:28:12 PM

I am not sure about Warren Carlyle directing THE SECRET GARDEN revival.  He is primarily known as a choreographer (I loved his work on A CHRISTMAS STORY) and I don't tend to think of THE SECRET GARDEN as a dancing show.  I think of it more as a show that has some very intricate, nuanced, and complicated acting, which would therefore benefit from an "actor's director".  I think this is Carlyle's first time directing a Broadway musical and THE SECRET GA

THE SECRET GARDEN Revival Set for 2018-2019 Season  May 9 2018, 10:19:13 PM

I am not sure if anyone can sing that opening the way R. Luker did in the original.  I was always very impressed how she took a breath after "pansies" and then no breaths until after  "chill".  And "cold" is a long high note requiring a lot of breath.  She did it in the theater the same way.  After hearing her do it on the cast recording I wanted to hear if she did it in the show, so I paid close attention to her breathing

OBC of OLIVER! on video  May 5 2018, 02:30:51 PM

Yes, I have always loved that Ed Sullivan Show performance because it is one of the few films of Jones as Dodger, and Brown as Nancy.  I especially love watching the interchange between Jones and Brown, the way she keeps knocking his hat off and smakcing him in the face, but he just keeps on going.  Looks like they had a very playful rapport on stage .

 I don't think the actor playing Fagin is Clive Revill, but he has very little to do in the video so it is understan


OOTI or Carousel?  May 5 2018, 01:22:05 PM

I have seen OOTI twice and I plan on seeing it again.  I saw CAROUSEL once and will never see that production of it again.  It was not well done at all.  While the singing is terrific, there is no nuance to the performances.  They are all acting so big and over the top.  It reminded me of one of those old black and white movies where everyone over acts, back of the hand to the forehead, swooning, eyes bulging; it is THAT kind of acting.  Maybe I am spoiled becaus

OBC of OLIVER! on video  May 3 2018, 06:47:47 AM

Just received a video of a 1962 BBC television production of OLIVER TWIST, done in 8 half hour episodes.  It might be interesting to musical theater fans because, while it is not a musical, it has two cast members playing the same roles they played in the original Broadway production of OLIVER! 

Bruce Prochnik plays Oliver Twist in the TV production, a role he originated in the Broadway musical.  He is also featured on the Broadway cast recording.  Also in the TV sh


A suggestion for DOLLY's closing  Apr 28 2018, 01:33:18 PM

"Except people that already got tickets would have already been asked to click on a disclaimer agreeing to be photographed or filmed." 

I was sitting in the front row during the filming of TIN MAN and I don't remember ever needing to agree to be filmed. 



Why no CAROUSEL video clips?  Apr 27 2018, 01:18:48 PM

I can find video clips (professionally released for press/publicity purposes) for just about every production to ever hit Broadway in the past ten years. Recent productions like ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, MY FAIR LADY, HARRY POTTER, etc. all have video clips of their shows available online.  But nothing for the new CAROUSEL revival.  Why not? 



Once On This Island stage door?  Apr 24 2018, 11:34:56 AM

I saw it last month and it seemed as if all the cast came out to greet the audience at the stage door.  Lea was out the day I saw the show, so I can't speak to her availability, but everyone else not only came out but spent a great deal of time interacting with those waiting.  Pictures, signatures and lots of conversations.  I would say they are some of the friendliest cast members I have ever seen at a stage door. Lots of smiles on both sides of the rope. 



SUMMER Reviews  Apr 23 2018, 08:53:12 PM

Wow!  With such negative reviews, this show will probably only run 3 or 4 years.
