Best Musical Books?  Jul 29 2018, 09:09:13 PM
studying the historical best book winners and lonngest running shows and finding patterns in the types of stories that are recieved well by audiences is a great start. a book publisher once told me there are only seven movie stories and im sure its probably the same for musicals.

for me, its all about caring about or forming a connection with the characters and being able to relate to them is what drops me into the story.

the books of shows ive loved the most in recent years <

GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER Previews  Jul 28 2018, 02:31:06 PM
im excited to see this just because i like the storyline.

its too bad the season has started with this and hoh(a truly horrible show)

im hopeful pretty woman will do well and very encouraged by early takes on moulin rouge in boston and hadestown pre broadway-

this wont be the best season in broadway musical history but it probably wont be the worst either....
oops forgot king kong is coming...(sigh)


Gypsy at Music Circus  Jul 27 2018, 12:50:43 PM

ive been to a lot of music circus productions,,they are very good most of the time for regional productions, and are a LONG ways from a broadway level production. The head of music circus is a great guy and really fills a need in the sacramento area and the theatre in the round there is well constructed and delivered a lot of musicals to folks that dont get much quality except for touring broadway shows...

i would subscribe if it wasnt a 2 plus hour drive.

would like to see caro


HEAD OVER HEELS Reviews  Jul 26 2018, 09:26:54 PM
its entertaining to watch bww editors try to grab any positive snippets from the mostly terrible reviews to try and prop this trainwreck up....

HEAD OVER HEELS Previews  Jul 26 2018, 06:07:36 PM
anyone have opinions on what the reviews coming out will be like for this show???

critics were way more generous than i would have been for the sf run...curious to see what the nyc pros think....


Moulin Rouge Colonial Theatre Previews  Jul 14 2018, 04:55:19 PM

many thank yous to early attendees posted their first impressions.

im very excited to see this when it hits new york and think this could be one of the hot shows of the 2018-19 season if they can find a good house and launch in spring 2019.....



Re: Cole Porter in Sleuth (1972)  Jul 14 2018, 01:30:32 PM
wow
these are fine vocals and certainly were “styled” after al bowllys voice and arrangements from the thirties.
the recordings do sound more contemporary.
my bet is a local studio guy doing an al bowlly impersonation


WICKED Surpasses MAMMA MIA! as 8th Longest-Running Show in Broadway History  Jul 9 2018, 01:15:55 PM
just noticed last week wicked was at 110% of grosses in a huge theatre (the gershwin) in its 15th year....THATS incredible
and another reflection of the staying power of this beautiful musical-i saw it again last month and still delivers all the goods.

imo book of mormon and hamilton will easily ascend to the top ten longest running shows and both will ultimately likely join phantom and wicked in the top five all time.

i saw chicago last month and think the show is nearly

ohoh
head over heels just posted box office gross sales numbers for last week of just 40% of potential revenue capacity that should hypothetically include those who are huge gogos and musicals fans that cant wait to see the show


A Walk on the Moon Musical Reviews  Jul 2 2018, 01:55:41 AM

Saw the final show of the premiere of A Walk on the Moon  this afternoon.

It seems to me as if the director listened to the feedback of the critics and made a number of positive changes-the teen daughter is not quite so over the top, there was a lot more passion and chemistry between the female lead and the blouseman, shorter better hair for the blouseman, and it also seemed to move faster and more seemlessly in the scene transitions. i feel like they cut a few songs. I would stil


HEAD OVER HEELS Previews  Jun 26 2018, 09:07:51 PM
thank you whizzer marvin for yet another insightful review thats able to get to the core.
i just did not care or feel for any of the characters in this show, and to me thats the kiss of death for any musical....
and i truly love the go-go’s and saddened their music is associated with such a misguided implementation. this show will be remembered for the first transgender person in a principal broadway role (who did a good job and is another step on the path to greater tolerance and diver

What Broadway Show From The Golden Age of Musicals (1943-1965) would you most like to see revived?  Jun 25 2018, 08:51:15 PM
Mame-has a better score than hello dolly
the Sound of Music-loved the london broadcast
guys & dolls-its time!



A Black Eliza Doolittle  Jun 23 2018, 12:11:11 PM

broadway by the bay in the sf bay area did a production a few years ago with a very talented young actress named Samantha Williams who was still a student at uc berkeley in their fine arts program.

She happened to be African American, and i don't think anyone in the audience really noticed or paid attention to her ethnicity, and focused on what an outstanding singer and fine actress she was...

Soft Powder at the Curran  Jun 21 2018, 10:37:59 AM

i saw the first preview from 3rd row aisle.

Went into this with low expectations somehow, and was surprised, challenged and ultimately entertained.  There was a lot of strong humor, especially political and cultural humor, and I thought the Tesori's score was strong and . 

the leads were played with a lot of heart and passion. the sets were somewhat cheesy (i think they were meant to be) and the choreography was an interesting mix of classic broadway, and


A Walk on the Moon Musical Reviews  Jun 21 2018, 09:37:34 AM

thanks unclie charlie- i forgot about the man clapping in chair! 

Im still going to give it another chance-i want to hear the score again and see it with all the principals in!



Ain't Too Proud Thread  Jun 21 2018, 09:35:43 AM

does anyone have the wash dc playbill, and if you do, can you please share whose playing each of temptations?

im curious to see if theyve kept the same cast

I liked this show a whole lot, and was ok with the "thin" book (i mean how deep is any biopic book-they all have the vh1 where are they now feel) in favor of the performances and choreography, which were dazzling, the acting which i found to be very strong, and the music, the sweet northern soul music.&nb
