Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I saw the recent revival twice and loved it. Also saw it back in 1989 in London when it first opened and 1991 when it first opened in NYC. I bought my NYC tickets a year before it opened, and then it was cancelled. Remember all that?
Yes, it's a great moment when the final bow is given to Tam. I remember that from 1989 and 1991. The audience roars with approval. Looking forward to seeing it again when it com
I saw this last night as well. Won't happen. Remember about 7 years ago there were all those rumors that Lea Michelle was going to do the revival of "Funny Girl?
Really looking forward to seeing this. Regarding "Evita" as mentioned earlier - it's a visually stunning film - the costumes, art direction, cinematography and beautiful orchestrations. Jonathan Pryce and Antonia B were both very, very good. Never really thought too much of Madonna's performance in the film as she had no fire - no passion.
Yes, Larry King is a big Linda Eder fan. When she was profiled on Bravo a number of years ago, he's interviewed and calls her, "The most incredible singer, you've never heard of." And, sadly - he's right. The average person doesn't know who she is, or any Broadway leading man or woman.
OlBlueEyes, I think I know the man that you are referring to. When I saw her in May at 54 Below, there was a man at the table next to me, talking about his retirement. Good for him!
Yes, she grew up in Minnesota, and loves her horses and her farm. That's her roots. :) She was 4th runner up in the 1980 Miss Minnesota Pageant.
It's always great to see her in an intimate venue like 54 Below, Feinstein's in San Francisco, and other places like that. And, of course a large venue like Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, etc, is just as exciting. Wherever she goes, she always has her core small group of musicians
Linda was born in Tuscon, Arizona and grew up in Brainerd, Minnesota. She has been living in New Salem, New York since 1998. Part of her property crosses over into Connecticut as her house is literally right on the border of New York and Connecticut.
Do you know when her annual holiday show is, Greengreens? It's not listed on her website as an upcoming concert.
Emo-Geek, Linda performed in Irvine, CA in February and a few weeks later in Palm Springs. The last few So Cal appearances have been in Palm Springs. Did you see those concerts?
Love Linda Eder! Yes, her #1 priority is being a mom. She continues to tour and does concerts all over the country. I just saw her in May again at 54 Below and she was sublime - as always.
Exactly, Philly - she prefers to focus on singing rather than returning to the grind of the Broadway stage.
Her new cd is fantastic! I'll have to check my list, but I think I'm up to 52 times that I've seen her in concert over
I rushed the show several weeks ago on a Thursday and got to the box office at 7:15am. I came straight from JFK, w/luggage - via my red eye flight from Los Angeles. I was the first person there, and about 20 minutes later a group of 4 girls arrived. When the box office opened, there was probably 20 people in line. I got front row, right on the center aisle. Yes, the stage is high, but I'm 6' 4", so it was just fine.
It's selling very well and was just announced about a month ago or so that tickets are on sale through August of 2019. I don't think it's going anywhere, anytime soon.
Cyndi Lauper's name is on theatre poster where "Kinky Boots" is playing - with her name in very big letters. People see it, and think she's in it. Not realizing that she wrote it. It's not a silly comparison at all.
