Love "Ruthless!" Saw it many times at The Canon Theatre. Have the cd, and I think I need to listen to it again. It's been quite awhile now.

Glenn Close gives a 'Sunset Boulevard' movie update Dec 9

I saw the 2017 Broadway revival twice. That's so interesting that when you saw it, you had that experience.
The nights we saw it, there was no mugging, playing it for laughs, or having the audience laugh. We didn't experience that at all. Having seen her in the original version multiple times, and knowing the cast album by heart - for the most part, it was so wonderful to see her Norma, being done in a different take/style. She was fantas

Jarethan, 4 & 1/2 years ago the funding for "Gypsy" fell through. It was the 2nd time it happened during all the years of trying to get it made. Since then, Barbra refers to "Gypsy" in the past tense. Including her London, NYC & Chicago concerts last year. And, when she was on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon." Alec Baldwin was also a guest on the episode, and she said she wanted him for Herbie,

Yes, back in February of 2019, it was announced that Rob Ashford would be directing the film version, with filming starting in October of 2019. No other updates were ever announced as far the cast or anything like that.

Just so horrible. May he rest in peace. Without a stage crew, there would be no plays or musicals for us to see and admire.

The Boys in the Band to premiere on Netflix, Wed. 9/30 Oct 2

Thanks for all your advice on Netflix. Yes, my tv is an old one - a box tv, that I purchased in 2000 at Circuit City. My cable provider is AT&T U-Verse and it would have to be added and my monthly bill would increase as my current internet speed is probably too slow. Since my tv is old, the rep that I spoke to wasn't sure if it would work.
I would love to get a flat panel tv, but would have no idea on how to install it and connect my dvr

Jordan, yes I could sign up for it. I would want to watch it on my television set. Not my computer. I'm old fashioned that way. Ha, ha.

Wish I had Netflix. I saw the show 2 years ago in New York and didn't care for it. Would like to give it a 2nd chance. The documentary sounds really good.

Saw the play 2 years ago in New York. Was really looking forward to it as I had never seen the original movie and really didn't know that much about it.
Very, very talented cast. The play itself, I didn't like at all. Wasn't my cup of tea.
It's so wonderful that the cast is able to recreate their roles again for this version. That hardly ever happens when plays are adapted for the big screen. Or, in this case

Musicals due for a revival Aug 6

Robert Lindsay was a brilliant Bill Snibson. Saw him multiple times in the show - here in LA and in New York. As far as the score being mediocre, I've never thought that at all. You walk out of the theatre feeling a whole hell of a lot better than when you walked in.
It was a huge hit, that opened during the middle of the 80's mega musical cycle of Broadway. It was your "typical" musical comedy, that was so hysterically funny. The boo

"Me & My Girl"
"Mame" starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. Jerry Herman said numerous times she would be perfect
"Funny Girl"
As far as it being unspoken that FG can't be revived during her lifetime, that couldn't be the case as it was to have been revived on Broadway back in 2012 starring Lauren Ambrose. Funding was pulled before the show went into rehearsal in Los Angeles before its LA engagement. Barbra d

When Barbra received her special Tony Award, she was under no obligation to do another Broadway show. It was an award, not a bargaining chip. Then the same can be said of many other Tony winners after they have received their Tony.

I've seen the show twice - August of last year right after it opened, and in January this year. Loved very moment of it. Thought it was fabulous!

Broadway performers who could hold a residency Jul 21

Hugh's 10 week run at The Broadhurst was fantastic! In addition to seeing it in NYC, saw it the summer before in San Francisco, when the show played there, before going to New York. Then saw the show again when he performed at The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, raising money for the MPTF benefit.
In 2001, Linda Eder did a 5 night run at The Gershwin Theatre. She was fantastic, as always.
