SUMMER Reviews  Apr 23 2018, 08:22:51 PM
this was not a strong show when i saw it in la jolla and was shocked they were moving to bway basically unchanged. there were some highlights especially some of vocal performances by la chance and the disco donna, but just not enough to get me to recommend it or see it again. i think beautiful and jersey boys set a pretty high bar for biopics and this donna cant even see the bar much less touch it.

i thought the temptations “aint too proud” was infinitely
better

HEAD OVER HEELS  Apr 11 2018, 11:25:43 PM
hi bear88 and antonijan
you are both musical theatre lovers in the bay area just like me. im not financially involved in any musicals because its a terrible investment with 1 out of five chance of recouping and thats once its made it to broadway.
i do feel like an investor given that i spend thousands a year to see shows

its always fascinating to me that you antonijan and i can see the same show and the same night and have profoundly different experiences.
i dont think its g


HEAD OVER HEELS  Apr 11 2018, 03:14:34 PM

i left at intermission for only the second time in over 200 shows

The main reason i left was i just wasnt enjoying it very much and wasnt entertained-the story itself was not interesting or clever, the show is set in a mythical land where everyone speaks in quasi old english (very annoying), I didnt get to know like or care about any of the characters (felt like wooden stereotypes), most of the gogos songs in the first act were album cuts i didnt recognize or enjoy ( and im a gogos fan

Jesus Christ Superstar 2019 National Tour  Apr 5 2018, 07:30:58 PM
have to go to posters point about last arena tour cancelled due to low demand
jc superstar was the last album to truly dominate mainstream pop culture but that was 47 years ago
the 14-25 yr olds that bought that lp are 61-72
and while these folks will fill an arena for the stones and paul mccartney im just not convinced they will come out en masse for jcs

i will go for sure but i think they are safer shouting for
3-5k size auditoriums vs the 16-18k person tier 1 indoor

man, ive still got next day buzz from how great this production was....

will be scheduling another viewing this evening from the dvr...

congrats to everyone involved ...and the viewer numbers are very solid for a holiday where lots of people have had a long day or weekend already......

did they approach leslie odom???


what is the most overrated musical of all time  Mar 29 2018, 03:59:12 PM
most overrated of all time is a big statement...
im baffled that Cats ran so long on great costumes and choreography one great song and no story

lion king-again fantastic costumes and some great songs but a boring second act

these two are probably a tie for all time overrated from the 1960s on


Fiddler National Tour  Mar 29 2018, 03:51:53 PM
this really should be an equity tour
that being said the recent Rent, Sound of Music, and Into the Woods tours were all fantastic... theres a lot of great young talent coming out of the mfa programs
and heres hoping they get the best talent. without a fantastic tevye, this show unravels quickly and painfully....


Online vocal coaching?  Mar 24 2018, 02:06:17 AM

ps felicia ricci has closed her voice lessons last I heard as of dec 2017 and is writing and recording her own original music

go felicia!



Online vocal coaching?  Mar 24 2018, 02:05:07 AM

Roger love is one of the best voice coaches in the world and does remote sessions. He can often identify all your major issues in a single session and recommend exercises to correct them. hes very pricy and worth every penny.....

one of my favorite activities during book of mormon is to walk for people that get up and leave during hasa dega ebawai...
my mom would have been one of them

during dear evan hanson a few weeks ago there is a line when evans friend comments to the kid who commits suicide that his hair and outfit are “school shooter sheik” the audience groaned loudly as this was the day after the florida shooting survivor kids had the cnn forum. i saw it again the next night and producers changed the


How Do You Report Someone Selling Bootlegs?  Mar 7 2018, 12:01:14 AM
take a slow deep breathe in through your nose, and then slowly breathe out through your mouth
repeat until your mind is clear enough to focus on something positive that you are grateful for in your life

San Francisco Theater District  Mar 4 2018, 09:40:38 PM
i wish i was more optimistic about some change occuring. our board of supervisors is completely spineless in addressing this issue and the leading candidate for mayor (pres of bd of sup) has paid little more than lip service.
if broadway of the 1980s can be cleaned up so can mid market area (one would assume) except sf is the city where political courage comes to die....

my strategy is take lyft or cab to and from theatre
i made the mistake of walking several blocks from golde

THE BAND's VISIT Reviews  Mar 1 2018, 08:24:05 AM

a short term blow for bands visit. I agree it wont hurt its best musical prospects.  Glad I got to see Tony and Katrina do their thing!



CAROUSEL (2018) Previews  Feb 28 2018, 08:46:51 AM

im in favor of all revivals of classic musicals like Carousel and My Fair Lady.  ive got my tix to both shows and very grateful for this rare opportunity to have two of the best musicals ever back on broadway. 

as to comparing to a past production or fond memory? 

I prefer to go into each production of a revival with fresh eyes and complete openness curiosity and excitement to what the performers directors and other team members have put together...
