I love watching Jonny Lee Miller on Elementary and i am sure he will do nicely here...and about all these plays on Broadway this new season...i might ditch the musicals for this next trip to NYC, for this amazing list of plays!!

Hm. Does it? It sounds exceptional and unmissable to me, in every way."
"completely dreadful"...sounds like that person is looking to hate COMPANY no matter what anyone else says...but it is "exceptional and unmissable"...and yes in every way...was i disappointed in ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE?...no as i have such an attachm

Apart from the fact that the strong word of mouth is that Patti isn’t very good in this..."
I saw COMPANY the first Saturday night of previews. Patti literally stopped the show with "Ladies". The audience that night ate her up, each line reading was perfection. Patti must b

Bailey literally stopped the show the night i saw it...he really is that good...but in all honesty there were quite a few show stoppers in this production...this is a must see production of this beloved show...trust me i saw the original production in 1970 10 times!...
rosscoe(au) said: "It’s seems from early reports that “ Not Getting Married “ is the single showstopper and a tour de force"
more than that stopped the show actually...tonight the audience gave extended applause to Patti's Ladies Who Lunch, which was more than well deserved...also the young man who sang Not Getting Married did stop the show, but also the very first number Company got the evening off to a roaring start!...i forgot h

"And of course we can't forget her iconic performance in "A Little Night Music":...
For sure, as i was lucky enough to see Glynis Johns in the original production in the Summer of 1973, of this most wonderful musical...the show was magical to me and to this day i say it is Sondheim's most complete musical...the book and the score work so well...not a moment nor a note is wasted

i started out going to musicals on Broadway with a best friend and had a great time, and we saw some of the most iconic shows on Broadway...over the years though i have tended to go alone with absolutely no regrets...for many of the same reasons others here go alone, and also with the reality that i am on my own schedule and do not depend on others to make a plan...i am so wrapped up in each show i see it is like i am alone anyways...and i do not need to know what anyone else thin
BUMP...doing so because, as i am only 2 weeks from my trip to London and seeing this revised production in the West End...the buzz over there has been building, not so much over here for seeing for what i think will be this exciting production...all the script and casting changes are very interesting and as someone who has seen almost every iteration, including the 1970 original Broadway cast...minus Dean Jones...i am more than excited for this...
the OBC recording of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG is so much better on record than any production i have seen of this musical "flop"...this is Sondheim at his very best and the book(s) by George Furth do not do justice for the score!
I, for one, am very excited to be going to London at the end of September, to see this newly revised production with a BOBBIE rather than the usual male BOBBY...and the cast will also include a gay couple mixed in with the other Bobbie friends!...anyone else going, or excited to see this?...
i staged-door for TBITB in mid June and it was packed outside...i slowly worked my way to the front of the pack and respectfully asked for autographs from who ever came out...while the actors signed my PLAYBILL if i had seen them in other work i would say something like "I loved you in Falsettos"...which i said to Andrew Rannells...he was very gracious with that comment...the only actor i wanted a picture with was Charlie Carver as you see in my avatar...and he was very accommo
Claybourne Elder is wonderful...he sings Sondheim as well or even better than others...i saw his FINISHING THE HAT at the Hollywood Bowl last year and fell in love
Liza was staying at my hotel when i was a Concierge while filming ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT...and i was able to talk with her one night and told her i was lucky enough to have seen her do CHICAGO...she thanked me for telling her that...it was thrilling to talk with her about CHICAGO...she did correct me too as i mentioned GWEN VERDON being out 10 weeks and she said it was only 5 weeks...but still what a thrill to talk with the Legend~!
the Best Musical i have ever seen was the OBC of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC...from the first note to the last i have always stated this is the most complete Sondheim score, and the most perfect of stage productions...
my Best Play selections are more limited but the OBC of NOISES OFF had me literally rolling on the theatre floor with laughter...
