I worked on that production of Chicago Ms Reinking was one of a kind, she was fabulous to all us crew. Having spent hours with her in that theatre up too opening night was something special.
Sweetlips what a memory of a fantastic woman.
RIP

No it didn't. Why would you lie about something that is so easy to check out?"
Trust me I didn’t lie the only review I saw was from the guardian ( and I should have quoted that better instead of saying all critics )
but it hadn’t been a love fest for it

Netflix's THE PROM trailer premieres 10/22 Dec 6
2020, 06:45:29 PM
Well that was a joyous spontaneous clapping laugh out loud joy. Perfect no, Corden ( who I can’t stand ) was watchable and even enjoyable in places. Streep and Kidman are knockouts. But can someone please stop Ryan Murphy from ever filming a dance number again. Kidman’s Zazz was incredible but sadly the way it was shot took away from the fantastic knockoff Fosse choreography she was doing. If you get the chance to see this at a cinema, go it looks sensational.

The Boys in the Band to premiere on Netflix, Wed. 9/30 Oct 1
2020, 04:16:16 AM
Remember hating the film when I saw it in the very earlier 80’s. Saw the London production a few years back and while I’m glad I saw it, yet again wasn’t a fan. I know it’s of it’s time, but I find it a vile nasty play.
In saying that this cast is rather special, so will revisit it again.

The King and I 1996 Aug 15

This production started life in Australia , can’t remember if it opened in Melbourne or Sydney first with Hayley Mills playing Anna. All I remember about it was Ms Mills was better than expected, Shall We Dance was a show stopper on that revolve and it was Red , the following year a production of Hello Dolly opened and was still blazing red in color

Dreamcast: Desiree Armfeldt Jun 25

Australian actor Nadine Garner was superb as Desiree in Melbourne Australia, it would be in one of my top ten live performances ever. Her Send in The Clowns was a masterclass in acting, joyous, heartbreaking, it was something special.

Kiss Of The Spiderwoman Revival? May 8

StephieElise said: "Broadway is welcome to borrow Ainsley Melham again to play Molina. His performance in Melbourne last year was honestly one of the best I have ever seen from any actor in any medium. "
That Melbourne production was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen done by MTC. Dean Bryant should never be allowed to direct a musical ever again. Poor Caroline O’Connor who came out looking like a washed up drag queen who has seen better days. N

Lizzie, you have most likely dodged a bullet by missing Fun Home in Melbourne , Dean Bryant direction on Kiss Of The Spiderwoman last year was beyond awful. I was looking forward to Fun Home but not helmed by him.

The Australian production of Come From Away was due to do a Shanghai season after the Melbourne run, that was canned this morning. The Asian touring production of The Lion King has canned the next three stops ( Wuhan was one of them )
Matilda is still planning an opening in Singapore this week.

I’m shocked that I enjoyed as much as I did. Parts of it where beyond awful ( Rebel Wilson ) but by the time it ended I was smiling. Maybe going in thinking this will be the worst film of the year ( Sorry Charlie’s Angels you still hold that title )
