MOULIN ROUGE! VIP ROOM  Aug 21 2019, 04:12:45 PM
This is common practice in the West End. (I wouldn’t pay but know people who happily would.)

Wild Broadway Stories?  Jul 19 2019, 11:51:01 PM
My friend saw a preview of First Date where Zachary Levi’s mic went out (his character is supposed to never leave the stage as he carries the entire show) but he left the stage and his “date” and everyone on stage froze. He came back several minutes later with a new mic and ad-libbed perfectly “Sorry. I had diarrhea” and picked up right where he left off. The audience was apparently in stitches.

Live Action Little Mermaid- Ariel  Jul 4 2019, 10:23:55 AM
While I think it’s wonderful more girls are going to feel seen and represented by this new Mermaid remake, my bigger concern is the whole sacrifice-your-entire-identity-so-a-Prince-will-like-you message this story tells.

WHT 'First Wives Club' Broadway Musical ?  May 16 2019, 08:42:57 AM
I saw it in San Diego and Chicago. Brad Oscar and Sarah Chase were great in their roles at Old Globe but both prods never matched the movie in wit, drama, or entertainment. Too bad. Seems like a great idea on paper.

Secret Life of Bees - Previews  May 13 2019, 11:47:54 AM

RippedMan said: "Agreed! Honestly there’s not a clunker song in the show. But my only gripe with Shriek’s music is it’s often too short. He writes simple songs, which is why I was curious how his music would work with powerhouse singers, but he totally made it work. But, like, the dad has a song that basically goes no where. But it’s a cool melody, but just kind of comes and goes. But I love his interlude music. "

How was the book?

That is amazing!

For me, I think even a weak DY score is still better than most.

TOOTSIE the Musical: PREVIEWS START  Apr 18 2019, 12:44:08 AM
I revisited the show tonight after seeing it in it’s first week of previews. It has really come a long way. I am so glad they trimmed 15-20 minutes. Santino has only gotten stronger and now has that Tony sewn up. All of the supporting players remain strong and the comedy and rhythm is helped by the cuts.
I do not know if my positive feelings are informed by feeling like an insider when it comes to all of the Broadway winks and in-jokes but, regardless Robert Horn writes some of the best jok

It's not so bizarre to me. She IS a classically trained opera singer and is an astounding actress. 



The Kiss Me, Kate exclamation point  Mar 15 2019, 12:15:08 AM

Ironically, Oklahoma! didn’t have an exclamation point originally either. Per Todd Purdum’s book “Something Wonderful”: “Late one night, Helburn called from Boston to tell the publicity department to say that the decision had been made to add an exclamation point, to make the title Oklahoma! The word had already been reproduced three times on each of the ten thousand press releases that had been prepared for mailing, so they set about inking in thirty thousand ex

Betsy Wolfe at 54 Below  Mar 1 2019, 01:00:16 PM
Yeah I think her resume is impressive as is she. I dont think age enters into this and 36 to me is young and I’m sure she’ll have an even longer impressive resume ahead of her.

Oklahoma! 2002 Revival Thoughts?  Feb 22 2019, 02:26:43 PM

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I thought she was an excellent Dream Laurey (as she is a principal dancer from the ballet world.)
However, we felt her singing, acting, accent were not strong enough for Broadway. That is different then saying triple threats do not exist.
The reviews echoed the same sentiments. It excelled at dance and fell short in the others departments. 



Oklahoma! 2002 Revival Thoughts?  Feb 22 2019, 01:44:13 PM

I saw this with my mother (or the first half of it at least.)
I just remember it being swallowed up at the Gershwin. Too small a show for such a gigantic space. It all seemed really empty.
I also do not think the gimmick of having Laurey and Dream Laurey be the same woman paid off. Patrick Wilson was good.



GYPSY Film Happening  Feb 6 2019, 10:50:40 PM
I don’t care if they have to dub her singing old school style—a Melissa McCarthy/Amy Sherman Gypsy is giving me everything I never knew I needed!

Overnight bag into a theater?  Feb 3 2019, 04:01:33 PM

Bad Theater Behavior  Feb 3 2019, 11:30:10 AM
It sounds like an aggressive group.
I was at the Lyceum in front of a school group in the mezzanine. They weren’t aggressive, but they used the back of my seat and shoulders as a foot rest. I was so grossed out when the bottoms of ther boots kept resting on my hair.
I don’t think they were malicious but it was clear the students and their chaperones just did not know how to behave at a theatre. I would wager to say that most groups like these these are experiencing a broadway show for th
