Wicked Dragon Clock  May 2 2018, 05:06:06 PM

The theater may not have had the proper specifications to mount the clock. Many of the touring venues are old, and some may not be able to handle the technical demands for modern spectacle shows. 



This Flat Earth @ Playwrights Horizon  Apr 21 2018, 12:38:29 PM

Saw it last night. I'm not a fan of child actors, but I felt these two kids were pretty naturalistic, and Ella Kennedy Davis has the burden of carrying the weight of the show, which she did quite well, save for some clunky dialogue moments. I really enjoyed Taichman's direction, and must give special recognition to Cassie Beck who's final scene absolutely broke my heart and left me and many others crying silently (or not so silently) in the audience for a few minutes aft

Playing Nancy Groundhog Day?  Jun 29 2017, 06:09:14 PM

In an interview with Danny Rubin, Andy Karl, and Mattew Warchus on Theatre talk, (I believe it was Warchus) who said that for the duration of the entire first act, it's all about Phil. We only get to spend time with him, because he is so egocentric. The second act makes the audience abruptly stop focusing on Phil, and maybe even realize that, like Phil, they were being selfish by only focusing on him. (as we do in our everyday lives; focus on only ourselves.) &nbs

As well as "Alice" in Titanic, where she stole the show through her comic timing and inventiveness. 

 

I LOVE Julie White, but I'm very excited for this news!



Things about WICKED that are annoying  May 21 2017, 10:13:21 AM

The ending is "Too dark"?

 

you obviously have never read the book it's based on, then, Because They "disneyfied" the ending for Broadway. Still wish they would've stuck to the book.



Should I take my kid to 1984?  May 21 2017, 10:10:30 AM

If your kid has read the book, he knows what is in store. Just take him if he wants to see it. 



A Dolls House 2: Review (spoilers)  May 21 2017, 09:34:08 AM

Well, we all know what opinions are like..............

 

 

You're entitled to yours, but methinks you sound like a very frustrated dramaturg who has a big ol' stick up your you-know-what.

 
There is a reason it received the most amount of Tony nominations for a play this year: It's good. 
For me, I fell in love with the tone of the piece right away. Anachronistic, smart, and truly funny. Every


La LuPone gives her unvarnished opinion of Donald Trump  May 20 2017, 04:30:14 PM

Ironic, because "Sweetlips" is Putin's nickname for Trump.

@z5 said: "So true, mamaleh, ridiculously ill al this political bashing....just stick to what the night, and your performance is about. Be an ENTERTAINER! So ridiculous and childish already the way these people act nonstop.

 

You do realize that Trump is an entertainer, right? He is a fame seeking reality show whore who carries around copies of the previous nights' television ratings in his jacket pocket (not a joke) And he has certainly never he


Which Sondheim musical is the most successful?  Nov 24 2016, 12:06:53 PM

sorry, let me be more specific. Only shows where Sondheim wrote both lyrics and music. 

 

You're probably correct with Into the Woods, Valentina.



Which Sondheim musical is the most successful?  Nov 24 2016, 11:29:50 AM

I was wondering this today. Tried to Google it to no results. 

 

I'm talking financial success........... I would think "Night Music" but, I'm really not sure. 



Last I Heard...  Nov 21 2016, 12:12:37 PM

Here's a silver lining for today:

While all of this is going on around us: Hate, pain, Disappointment, Sore Losers, Sore Winners, and fear that I see on the faces of many people I pass on the street in NYC, for the first time, in a Long time, Maybe since the Original production of HAIR, a musical is at the front and center of a national debate. Musicals Like Mormon, Producers, Phantom, et. al are cultural icons, but not titles that start actual political debates among Americans abo


Laser Pointers usage at Cats  Nov 18 2016, 10:36:07 AM

I saw it just two days ago (Nov. 16), and I did not see any laser pointers, but there were multiple occasions I saw the ushers still using flashlights (surprisingly discreetly) on people trying to take photos.
