For those craving Butterbeer but who don't want to go through the hassle of making your own, I have found The Flying Cauldron's Butterscotch Beer to taste very much like what  they sell at Universal.  They sell it at Book-a-Million.

Original creative team reuniting for Opera Australia Secret Garden  Aug 22 2019, 12:30:08 AM

Australia?  Considering that this will (I assume) recreate the stunning original production I hope that this is preserved on video and released commercially.  That is probably the only way I will get to see it.  



Difference Between A Manuscript and Acting Script?  Aug 17 2019, 08:40:56 PM

There do tend to be differences between acting editions of scripts and the copies you buy in a bookstore.  I was once directing OUR TOWN and read the manuscript, which I bought in a bookstore, many times prior to auditions.  When we got the acting editions of the script from the licensing company I noticed that there were some differences, particularly in the stage directions. 

Referring to the non-acting version did help immensely at one point when I was at the end of t


Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY is NOT a remake  Jul 15 2019, 08:34:02 AM

That is the claim made in this Variety article.  "The new Spielberg film is a direct adaptation of the original Broadway musical of the same name, not a remake of the Robert Wise-directed 1961 film."  Sorry but that makes no sense!

Hamilton-Convince me.  Feb 4 2019, 08:13:56 PM

I saw it last year on Broadway and I did not like it at all.  I appreciated the talented cast and the terrific staging, but could not follow the story at all.  Much of the lyrics seem to be exposition, telling us what this person or that person did.  Exposition does not make good drama.  What makes it worse is that much of the exposition is done with rap, which does not fall easily on the ears or the brain.  There needs to be time for the ear to hear a lyric and the b

Oliver! revival?  Jan 23 2019, 08:44:44 PM

If I remember correctly (and I think I do) Mackintosh's Broadway revival of OLIVER!, based on his London version directed by Sam Mendes, was killed by Equity's insistence that all the little kids in the opening number, about 40 I believe, should get Equity Broadway contracts, despite the fact the after the first two numbers, they are never on stage again. 

Mackintosh threatened to not bring the show to Broadway if Equity didn't budge.  Equity didn't


Saddest songs in musical theater  Jan 9 2019, 07:42:13 PM

I am going to add "Just Like That" from "A Christmas Story".  I love how it starts off as the mother trying to get Ralphie to stop crying by reminding him that these bad times are over "Just Like That", but the song's meaning changes into the mother's lament that her children are growing up so quickly and she wishes they could stay just the way they are; that their childhood will be over "Just Like That".  A sentiment most parents

A Christmas Story Tour  Dec 8 2018, 08:48:16 AM

Unfortunately, I will not be seeing this year's tour as it is not in my part of the country.  But I have seen it every year for the past 4 years and it is terrific every time.  Looks like some of the same actors from last year's tour -the Old Man, Jean Shepherd-- but the kids are usually different each year for obvious reasons. Still, I have always enjoyed this tour.  If it is in your area, I highly recommend it. 



Touring production prices  Nov 18 2018, 09:57:33 AM

Boston has it own version of TKTS called Bostix.  It's a small booth right in front of Faneuil Hall that has been there for as long as I can remember.  And I don't ever remember there being TKTS lines.  I would usually just walk up or maybe have two or three people in front of me.  Of course, now they have an online presence which offers discounted seats for purchase, though certainly not at a fifty percent off rate.  If only it were easier to drive in Boston

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Previews  Nov 3 2018, 12:31:01 PM

Parade3:  I am wondering what you thought of the previous stage adaptation of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Christopher Sergel.  That one has been around for decades and has been produced frequently in regional production, but never on Broadway. 



The Sound Of Music Live - UK version  Oct 20 2018, 09:00:49 AM

I've only seen it once but remember thinking it was "Masterpiece Theater meets Rodgers and Hammerstein".  I recall it being a somewhat "dry" presentation. 



Adam Guettel on Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh  Sep 26 2018, 05:00:45 PM

The number of accusation is irrelevant when all the accusations are close to 4 decades old and have no supporting evidence or corroborating witnesses (including those named by the accusers, some of whom are close friends of the accusers). 



Adam Guettel on Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh  Sep 23 2018, 08:56:44 AM

The fourth and final of Dr. Ford's "Party Goers" has been identified and contacted.  

"CNN has learned that the committee has reached out to a longtime friend of Ford named Leland Ingham Keyser.

"I understand that you have been identified as an individual who was in attendance at a party that occurred circa 1982 described in a recent Washington Post article," a committee staffer wrote Keyser earlier this week.

On Saturday


Adam Guettel on Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh  Sep 23 2018, 08:44:51 AM

henrikegerman said: "How can anyone say at this point, before even hearing her testimony, that Ford is not credible? "

Conversely, how can anyone concluded that Judge Kavanaugh is not credible? How can anyone conclude that Judge Kavanaugh is guilty when no one has heard  the specifics of his accuser's claim, nor of Kavanaugh's denials?  Yet TONS of Democrats in the House and Senate have already said they believe Dr. Ford's claim and that Ju

Isn't that because Dr. Ford cannot specify a date and time? Nor does she know where the party was, who was there (other than oneother person), or how she got home. In fact, when she disclosed the incident to her therapist and h

Adam Guettel on Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh  Sep 20 2018, 04:11:24 PM

"And yeah, I guess it does lack credibility. That must be why dozens of classmates have come forward to say they knew of the assault occurring at the time when it actually happened,"

I think you are mistaken.  There is only one other witness and he has stated that the incident alleged did not happen.  Also, Dr. Ford has admitted she told no one else at the time, not even her closest friends.  In none of the accounts I have heard have I read of
