Favorite Shows of 2020 Dec 21
2020, 05:37:40 PM
Best live show that premiered in 2020: "Company"
Best virtual show: "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" - One of the first "zoom" type readings, done in April and I still hope when shows reopen, they'll get this cast (Celia Keenan-Bolger, Zachary Quinto, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ari Graynor) to perform a revival of it. Celia was spectacular and deserves a Tony just for this reading.

I really enjoyed this. Some very interesting directorial choice that switched it up a bit which was nice to see for a show that’s been done so many times.

I know you don’t think anything can happen until 2027 at the earliest but I’m hoping for the best. *shrugs*

London's West End plans reopening Dec 17

It is optimistic, I don’t think anyone would argue with that. But I don’t think they would take this step without taking a hard look at the numbers and vaccine rollout plans. Like with everything else right now, the best we can do is hope for the best.

Some shows will reopen when they’re off the restrictions they’re under now. But the shows talked about here have been closed since March.

London's West End plans reopening Dec 17

Cameron Mackintosh has been rolling out reopening plans for all his shows this week, ranging from May - July. The fine print says reopening is dependent on UK lifting social distancing (Stage 5). Tickets for “To Kill a a mockingbird” have been swapped for new dates like they did here for “Music Man”, which I know they’ve been waiting to do until being fairly certain things can proceed. And judging by vaccination rates and population of the UK, it seems that this can happen.

Irish Rep’s MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS with Melissa Errico Dec 16
2020, 01:05:47 PM
Yes, this is revised. The whole show runs around 90 minutes (including intermission) and I do think “The Trolley Song” opens Act Two here (if I remember correctly).

Irish Rep’s MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS with Melissa Errico Dec 16
2020, 12:45:43 PM
I watched the Irish Rep’s streaming production of “Meet Me in St. Louis” last night and really urge everyone to check it out. It’s a sliding scale of free to pay-what-you-can and, like their production of “The Weir”, all actors filmed from different locations and it was edited together to make a really fantastic “new” musical revival. It’s streaming through January 2nd and I’ll post the link below -

Reinking should get a Theater or Dance studio named after her. Or both. Dec 15

I’ve always thought the Ambassador should be renamed The Fosse. But I love the idea of a dance studio.

Reports from colleagues and friends are saying the legendary Ann Reinking has passed and (for what its worth) her Wikipedia page notes this now, too.
Rest In Peace. There will never be another like you...

A friend forwarded me his Twitter thread this morning and my response was basically “I’m so sick of people saying they have tea to spill. Either spill the damn tea or STFU”

I enjoyed this. It's a lot better when you don't have to suffer through that mess of a book.

London Theatres Enter Another Lockdown Dec 14
2020, 12:46:38 PM
London is being told by the government that they don’t need face coverings outside either, so if you look at videos of the streets it’s insane with thousands of people crowding and shopping with no masks.

Old Vic's A CHRISTMAS CAROL Dec 12
2020, 10:01:45 PM
I’m watching it this week. I’m so happy the Old Vic found a way to to make money right now. I’ll say yet again I see zero reason why The Public Theater and others here aren’t doing the same thing but I’m ecstatic that they’re successful at this.
