Backpacks lately?  Apr 30 2018, 01:08:48 PM

I have taken a backpack to every show I have seen in the last five plus years. The only issue I've ever encountered was when a security guard insisted I throw out or donate my unopened bag of naked cashews at The Color Purple. I have also found that taking outside beverages inside are fine as long as they are in a canteen, and not a plastic water bottle. 



Will Glenda Jackson win the Lead Actress Tony?  Apr 30 2018, 09:39:12 AM

Yeah, this category is not one of suspense. Glenda is winning. There is no viable alternative. She didn't bother to show up at the Oscars either time she won, but something tells me at this point in her career, she'll be attending the Tony Awards. Although, If she never cared about awards before, why would today be any different? 



Will Yerma go to Broadway after off Broadway?  Apr 29 2018, 08:36:13 PM
The production at Park Avenue Armory was the most thrilling experience for me as a theatregoer. I was absolutely gobsmacked as I exited the venue. It was such a perfect production, that I hope it doesn’t transfer to Broadway. Some aspects of the production design would need to be reworked for a traditional NY theatre, I believe. If they make it happen, I would go in a heartbeat as I would jump at the chance to see Billie Piper’s performance one more time.

Go for it!

Billie Piper to reprise her Olivier Winning performance in  Apr 21 2018, 05:58:31 PM
Good god, what a theatrical experience. Each moment was perfection. The cast was uniformly excellent, especially Billie Piper. That performance will haunt me. The final moments had me simultaneously holding my breath and resisting the urge to throw up.

Had this production played across and down town, Piper would be winning herself a Tony to go with the hardware she has already collected for this triumphant portrayal of yearning and utter disappointment.




HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 20 2018, 09:13:21 AM

Color me disappointed, and for two reasons. 



2018 Drama League Nominations & Awards  Apr 18 2018, 12:40:14 PM

I'd say this is a three person race between: Billie Piper, Glenda Jackson and Andrew Garfield.

My partner and I just purchased seats using LincTix after reading this post.

Entertainment Weekly says it doesn’t work, leads are miscast, and the material doesn’t fly in this era. C!

Patti LuPone Speaks Her Mind  Apr 11 2018, 10:42:32 AM

The woman is a legend, no doubt. But at what point do you finally say "shut up?" Patti has had a long, celebrated career; one that many can only dream of. Nothing has ever been enough for her. She has every right to speak her mind, but over the last few years, these statements have become more and more vitriolic.



Bernadette to extend now that Mozart is cancelled?  Apr 9 2018, 06:58:08 PM
The rumor was Reba, but she just announced more live shows for October and December.

Probably safe to bet on Jackson winning the Tony.

What would you see if you had a time machine and tickets to 3 shows?  Mar 28 2018, 08:47:56 PM
1) Gypsy with Angela Lansbury

2) Cabaret with Natasha Richardson

3) Evita OBC


THREE TALL WOMEN (2018) Previews  Mar 25 2018, 07:48:47 PM
Exquisite. Top to bottom.

I hope Jackson and Metcalf are placed in separate categories so they can both win for these landmark performances. They certainly deserve to.

Best show of the season.


DOLLY casting replacements  Mar 13 2018, 02:06:34 PM

I cannot imagine anything less exciting than Barbra in this production.



Whoopi Goldberg interested in Dolly  Mar 3 2018, 10:32:20 AM
I actually said “wow” as I read Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ name. She would be absolutely perfect.

Jerry Herman has been talking about Latifah doing the show for years, way before this current revival. She was allegedly not interested then or now.



Next Dolly after BP?  Feb 23 2018, 05:24:15 PM

I’m thinking it is Reba. Her name is the one I am hearing the most. She is performing in Vegas through the summer, though, so she wouldn’t come in before early fall.

I cannot speak as to what exactly happened, but the original company and Angela did not get along well. She was most likely asked and declined. 

 



Official Bernadette Peters in Hello, Dolly! performances thread  Feb 14 2018, 05:31:42 PM

MR had his moment in the sun. He loved being “right” about Peters in the role.

Truth be told, the sh*t was hitting the fan in the rehearsal room, and by the first preview, the production had its work cut out for it. Laurents was up in arms regarding just about everything. Reading his account of the ordeal, no one did anything correctly because he was not directing. Everything from the costumes to the sets was an issue. Arthur says that Bernadette eventually went on to f
