Profile for BWAY Baby2

Best drama I have seen this year. Hope to see more August Wilson plays on film- Wilson in a genius and one of the most important authors or plays ever. Up there with Chekhov, Williams, O'Neill and a few others. We need revivals on BWAY when it begins again- dream cast would reunite Denzel and Viola in a play they have not attempted before.

For me, it was like a cartoon- fantasy- feel good extravaganza- who cares who is older than who- this is not a serious movie - so why analyze it like it is Chekhov- it is an enjoyable romp- with great stars who make the most of the material- it is an almost 2 hour feel-good diversion- and it is truly diverting- I liked it a lot- would not necessarily recommend it- as I save that for movies that really move me or make me think- but I enjoyed it a lot. Now on to Uncle Frank at Amazon- about a g

Missed this at Lincoln Center- and have regretted it since--but HBO is adapting for television---

Ruth Wilson and Andrew Scott are among the cast of Oslo, the HBO original movie that is now rolling cameras in Prague.

Just vote Trump and all Republicans out- everything else is a sideshow now. If Randy is racist and you do not like him- don't watch him,

She would be amazing in End Of The Rainbow.

I like Randy Rainbow's current work----and think he is funny and very creative. 

It does not.

I was blown away but Fela- the entire cast was excellent- I though it was s superstar performance- and Kinky Boots-with Billy Porter at his prime- was also very powerful- with a great cast. Nest To Normal with Alice Ripley and company was also uniformly excellent.

One of my favorite plays- I saw it on the West End- was Mary Stuart. It had very few scenery changes- but the drama of Queen Elizabeth meeting Mary Queen Of Scots- though they never really met in real life- was so powerfully dramatic- that I was floored- and am still remember how much I loved this play. It is very dramatic and full of intrigue and suspense- and I think it is well-suited for Zoom- plus, since it has never been seen in the USA- and ithe subject matter is one that is fascinating

I agree with you VintageSnarker . -------But I would hope that some of these demands are about starting a conversation and not things reasonable people expect to just happen tomorrow.------but in this era, reasonable people are hard to find- this is an era of cold civil war- hopefully not erupting into Civil War. Reason and negotiation does not seem to be what is happening now, unfortunately. I know I wrote a snarky post a few posts above- but reasonable conversations- especially on

There must be a black president every 12 years- the Tony Awards must nominate POC for at least 40 per cent of the slots, The Oscars must have at least two nominees in each category for a POC- people adopting  more than one baby must have one baby of color in the mix- 40 per cent of all seats in Congress must go to a POC - or the election of a white person will be deemed unconstitutional--yeah- that will fix all the problems

Oh-  then to be consistent- I guess you all think Hamilton is racist because they cast people of color in roles that were historically inaccurate. I am all for racial equality- for everyone everywhere- but this discussion is racist in itself. If a school is predominantly black- or white- or Jewish- or Filipino- the cast of characters will reflect that population. So that is the end of that discussion for anyone who is not looking to talk about racism incessantly and obsessively- in my op

To me that is a stupid question- if it is an almost all- white high school- what are they supposed to do- bus in migrants from Mexico- stop the obsessive color counting and relax a bit.

Of course- none of us know- and we all hope not-, but I, for one, am not so sure. Yes, I have my MM ticket for April 14- and also bought two for June- and am hopeful that I will want to get on a plane and fly to NYC from Atlanta. But, with the virus out of control- vaccines a maybe- and when they do arrive- the testing- the amount of coverage, the side affects- all need to be monitored. Anyway, although I am hopeful- I do not count out the possibility that this will go on and on...like that T

As much as I would love to see Jackman in The Music Man- I bet that it will not happen. BWAY might not reopen for another year. I have tickets for April, 2021- but if there is no vaccine approved and widely used by then, a big BWAY production is not gonna happen- and tourists are not flocking tot he city to see it. I guess it will all depend on how much Jackman wants to do this. My guess is a movie is a lot safer and easier to do.

I live in Atlanta- so I am not super aware of the phases of opening in NY. I see that Phase 2 begins on Monday- Phase 3 is the last phase in the reopening process- which, I guess, includes reopening BWAY. It is still June- anyone think BWAY might reopen before Spring- and I am hoping for my April, 2021 Music Man tickets- and I will buy more shows if BWAY is running- is gonna happen. No one knows the future- but with Phase 2 starting Monday- I am getting ready for the next and final phase.&nbs

NO.

For me, as an 11 year old, seeing Bye, Bye Birdie at Westbury Music Theater on Long Island- the Telephone Song came on- all these teenagers on ladders - singing and talking about dating-  and I was hooked from there- I could not believe how great that song was- and to this day, remember the thrill of that moment.

Written by old white folks? That is exactly the type of talk we do not need now- how about stating an opinion without maligning other races? I find racism- whenever I see it- repugnant- and I do not believe that the tone of the post was innocent and just stating the fact- let's not forget that White Christmas was written by a Jew- and that makes no difference- if people truly want justice- this race war crap has to stop!

I qualify as an older theatergoer- since I have been going to BWAY shows ever since I was 12 years old- back in 1965. I saw many musicals, Funny Girl, Flora The Red Menace, Skyscraper, The Apple Tree, Mame, Sweet Charity, Chicago- with Liza, Roar Of The Greasepaint...and so many others- and a few topical comedies- The Impossible Years was my fave- lots of drama- The Price, The Great White Hope, The Prime Of Miss Brodie...and on and on... and still see many shows now- Hamilton, Moulin Rouge, I
