Profile for Steve C.

Just a couple of notes....

Yes, it is disappointing that true and deserving honorees like Doris Day and Carol Channing

(these 2 omissions alone with CC's life and DD's life, going from a big band jazz singer to rival Ella, and then what she went on to do...not fair at all) and Doris is not a "recluse"; she works ardently for Animal Rights and does appear at events in Carmel...

...are still withdrawn b/c they can't or won't ac

I think Tag is right; who besides us? But that's what makes me wonder about how popular shows like "RuPaul" are and can be...I thought the Versace was very good, (especially Judith Light!) and the POSE show with Billy Porter...but...I don't and won't watch us become "car crash" tv...it's like honey boo-boo or  the a&e (A & E ..go figure ??)   crap tv. When does it become "are they laughing at us or "with" us or just &qu

You guys are being way too hard on BH and if you've read the entire article you may have been more informed than the headline. He raises a lot of valid points, expressing both points of view on most of the topics, again stating it's not his job to decide. Do I agree with everything ? No, but he does bring valid points to the discussion.

As for his interest in pre-War and German/Nazi treatment of Berlin and wartime cabaret, that in itself could be and is a topic many music a

It's not like I won't be going to more than one performance, and/or having friends working on the show, but we're anxious to know the supporting cast, etc.. One ad I saw said, "Everyone from our cast and crew at the Schubert will continue on to the national tour"! (i'm sure that will be news to maybe, Donna Murphy or Local #1 -  I.A.T.S.E .  

I also want the Harmonia Gardens staircase AND the passerelle but I won't hold my bre

I agree with K again, where does it stop and start and stop??? An historic theater company in Baltimore is the 50 + years old Young Vic(torian) company; performing Gilbert and Sullivan with 1 or 2 productions each year. They are "still trying" to perform "The Mikado" this year. They are being bombarded with Asian/American criticisms and boycotting...In the 2nd act showstopper from "Anything Goes" Evelyn's big song is the "Gypsy In Me"...I just

I guess that since I'm a younger person, and going off memory of video clips and education, and since BB performed "Over You" from "Tender Mercies" at the Academy Awards, (that she sang in the film)...where it was nominated for Best Original Song, I also thought she was one of the songwriters (Hart and Roberts); so my bad! It's still a testament to her devotion to the arts, and humanity that there just aren't many performers as versatile and committed. She

Just the fact that I'm posting to this thread is embarrassing to myself and laughable. BB is a woman of talent, artistry, conviction, dedication, story, song, social conscience... (so of course, she has to be a b*tch)

I (and many more) would kill to have any of the "careers" that Betty has in her repertoire. I have never seen her give a bad performance. Be it stage, tv or screen, Oz, Getting On (on HBO...she is brilliant), Tender Mercies, Remember WENN, Sunset Blvd, 1776,

I'm really sad to see this show close too, (bad memories of timing and business "Great Comet" We just got tix again.

I'm hoping Ethan will go back to doing the Sunday matinees since the closing notice is real now...we can do without the snark too; Tina Landau and this cast created a wonderful world at the Palace. Maybe they will go "FATHOMS (Events) Below..Fathoms Below." and film it for

I just loved the show, but I agree that the sound mix was REALLY off; the sound was muted and almost foggy at times. The performances are totally excellent and I'm really sorry I didn't get to see this on stage.The horns and big band sounds should be so crisp and clear and sometimes it was, but not all the way through. I also think the editing of the choreography could have been much MUCH better. What's wrong with showing a whole complete dance from the entire stage view?

I

L'il Abner - I love the OBC recording and the movie is quite fun in Cinemascope and Technicolor. I'd think it could def be updated in today's trumpian world

Drat The Cat - a flop from when the papers went on strike in NYC, but a great score, the song "He Touched Me" and more...Lesley Ann Warren's 1st major award winning role

Pajama Game - while in Baltimore in college I saw a production at Center Stage that could rival any Broadway production. Unbelieva

Thanks everyone for your advice.

I did email Fathom Events directly and got a fast reply. The theater that I was my first choice had announced "Bandstand" but then Fathom deemed that that location's renovations and sound system was not approved for the broadcast. So at least Fathom Events is on the ball, (as they have been in the past with their broadcast)...

So I think I'll be waiting until Thursday and go to another theater that's a few miles farther. But

FYI... Bandstand is being broadcast to movie theaters on Monday and Thursday. I'm still kicking myself for missing it live !

But trying to get info and tickets for AMC theaters is a joke. Anyone else having trouble trying to buy tickets? I can't even get to a live person in most theaters, I guess  they're being eaten by dinosaurs.

If anyone knows a phone number to a live person at Fathom or AMC let me know if you can. Thanks (These shows sure can't be a succ
