I had no clue who she was, and they definitely did not tell us in any obvious manner. But yea it was a douchey thing to say..
And would a star actor on a major network TV show really have much contact with one of the writers, let alone his wife? I may not know anything about TV production but it seems unlikely.
I found the dichotomy of the broadcast fascinating - the sweep THE BAND's VISIT had was totally at odds with the blatant shoe horning of celebrities at every chance.
What a weird Broadcast.. taking every opportunity to distract us from the Theatre community with pop and TV celebrities. Was not a fan of Bareilles and Groban as a duo - their styles really CLASH and they're awkward in that setting.
Some really bizarre performances too.. are there any 2 legends with careers that overlap LESS the ALW and Chita?? Not to mention the fact that their speeches weren't televised but then they did a rushed sloppy dual tribute anyway. CAROUSEL doing &qu
WOW what a beautiful recording. That overture is one of the most sumptuous things put to a cast album in many a year. It has an openness that so few modern recordings have, whether the reverberation is natural or synthetic it sounds great.
Anyone know anything about this production? It was to star Jane Summerhays and open the fall of 1978. Played Toronto and The Kennedy Center but never made it in.
In London she's a big star, but here she's a nobody. Highly doubt she'd come to America unless she had a vehicle prepared that would make her the talk of the town ala Cynthia Errivo a few years ago.
I am planning on catching ON A CLEAR DAY this summer and I was wondering what kind of band they typically have. I don't mind stripped down accompaniment, as I know it's an off-broadway company or whatever, though of course for a score that lush a decent band wold be appreciated.
In actuality it wasn't quite you I was referring to. You just happened to be on the receiving end of a kranky afternoon. Plus sweeping generalizations make for better arguments. LOL
Most people I am sure saw you and others post it the other thirty, fifty times. They will see it if they want to, and as much as you want everyone to be as bitter as you, gasp they might even enjoy it. If you paid premium prices and hated it, that's on you.
Done pot stirring for the day, I am still excited for the CD.
