Some of us think we do. Not all shows are for all people. You didn't like this show, I thought it was brilliant. To each their own. I would never say what you feel is wrong, the production was just wrong for you. Please don't tell me I was wrong for loving it.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned , but there is a wonderfully taped live performance of "Plaza Suite" with Jerry Orbach and Lee Remick in all the parts. This was done by HBO in the early 80's when they filmed several stage performances, "Vanities" and " The Williamstown production of "Sherlock Holmes" with Frank Langella being two others. Both Mr. Orbach and Ms Remick are perfection. Despite that, I really don't like the play that much and
Watching that video reminded me of seeing the OBC. I loved the show but thought the staging was really bad.

I'd highly recommend "Fiddler on the Roof" - it is a perfect production of the perfect musical with a stellar cast. I have worked 3 productions and seen countless others and this is the best.
There is a museum - in Pompano , Florida (of all places).
Costume World owns and rents more than a million costumes - including the costumes once owned by Dodger Theaatricals - who went bankrupt thanks to "Dracula" and "Good Vibrations". Part of that collection was William Ivey Longs costumes to "Guys and Dolls" .Recently the museum part changed its name to "The Wick" and not only has a museum but a full time theatre.I took a tour sever

Speaking of “passing,” Isaac Powell could easily play one of the Sharks. This casting is so confusing."
Isaac Powell is not Latino. He is half Black and h

I think she would have bee a horrible Mame in the smallest Summer Stock theatre imaginable. IMO she is not a warm performer, which Mame must be for it to work, and is also better in smaller roles that pop up periodically, not down front and center."
