Why did my mind immediately go to, "The Man In the Moon Is A Lady" from Mame? Oh, well. It's all gay as Christmas up in here.... :)

It's funny, I too had no qualms about difference in age between Meryl and Keegan-Michael - relationships can blossom between people with large age differences - I personally know quite a few such couples. But the age difference that bothered ME was between Meryl and James Corden - they talk and act as if they're contemporaries in the theater, but he of course is decades younger. She looks sensational by the way, very much a glamorous Broadway star in the vein of Chita or C

I enjoyed the movie from start to finish, more than I did seeing it live (though I enjoyed it live, too). I was concerned that Meryl wouldn't really be able to sing this part (I LOVE Beth Leavel - give me a big Broadway belter anytime!) BUT she came through like gangbusters! All the stars were great in their parts...but I agree with some comments above, especially the wig on Tracy Ullman - she ends up looking too much like Mary Kay Place in earlier scenes and so when she appea

Which theater is BEETLEJUICE moving into? Sep 27
2020, 05:15:52 PM
QAnon says Trump will lose the election (this has actually been his plan all along), and will then stun NYC audiences by stealthily reopening The Winter Garden in the middle of the night and will take over the role of Beetlejuice (after having Alex Brightman deported) and will run the show for 12 shows a week, thereby keeping The Music Man from ever opening. Ironically the ghost of Robert Preston will begin haunting the theater (this has been pre-arranged with the hereafter) and will am

Hmm....I have NEVER seen someone be so obnoxious about people being upset and sad that a show was closing...

Greatest Song of All Time From a Musical Jul 29
2020, 02:37:18 PM
Well, this is one of those questions that really has no one answer, obviously. I can think of so many songs from shows that I would consider to be in the lofty stratosphere of "great" as opposed to good. But the one that first sprang to mind is the one I will go with:
You'll Never Walk Alone
It works heartbreakingly and powerfully within CAROUSEL itself, but transcends the show with a profoundly encouraging clarion call to overcome fear and grie

Actors With Unhealthy Singing Technique? Jul 8
2020, 11:01:44 AM
I'm loving reading this thread, being a long-time Broadway fan and sometime singer myself (cabaret shows, mostly). I'm thinking of how someone like Ethel Merman sounded so robust and belty and brilliant, but she could also be very expressive singing softer, and she never seemed to lose much even in her later years and disco album! I think much of that can be attributed to roles that are well-suited to the human voice, with lots of time between songs, and the artful sk

Worst musical I ever saw on Broadway was INTO THE LIGHT. It was about the investigation of the Shroud of Turin, and starred Dean Jones. Wowza. Was it baaaaaadd!!

? about Sondheim Concert Apr 26
2020, 08:49:46 PM
We got two minutes of Stephen Schwartz at a piano paying tribute to Sondheim playing Follies overture on piano. Then opening credits then Raul Esparza on screen talking but we can’t hear him. He seems to realize this after a minute and we see him get up and phone camera jiggles and we see gray photo backdrop paper and an office and Raul comes back and shuts the live stream off! What a show! What a tribute to the great Sondheim on his 90th!
I think I liked the 80th celebration a lot be

Beetlejuice to the Barrymore? Feb 27
2020, 09:37:13 PM
42nd Street had to leave the Winter Garden to make room for CATS, and then had to leave the Majestic (moved to St. James across the street) to make room for PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. It was the invasion of the British in the 80s! 🤓

Beetlejuice to the Barrymore? Feb 27
2020, 09:31:53 PM
As some here may recall, Mama Mia transferred from the Winter Garden to a smaller theater (the Broadhurst, I think?) so there certainly is precedent.
Also years before that, the original production of 42nd Street transferred from the Winter Garden to the Majestic....
I’m guessing the BEETLEJUICE transfer will happen, and it will continue to thrive....

Jerry Herman Tribute Jan 14
2020, 01:10:49 PM
I've gone to a couple of these in the past, and usually there is no charge, and no tickets to reserve. You just show up (well in advance for this one, probably). Once time is announced, you can plan appropriately. Since these are during daytime, workday hours, many who might like to attend are not able to, so usually seating is available for everyone who shows up. I'm planning to go to this one - Jerry Herman has always been one of all all-time favorite compose
