GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER Previews  Jul 24 2018, 12:08:05 AM

Full disclosure. I had a death in the family this week so maybe I was looking for a two hour escape, but I kinda liked this.

After seeing Rock Of Ages, I said to my friend, "That was a lot of fun, but my IQ just dropped 20 points." I feel the same about this.

Is it great? No. Will it run? No. It's fine for a local who paid very little, but I can't imagine anyone paying full price for this or a tourist dying to see this.

It's way too long. It


Mary Page Marlowe begins previews  Jul 10 2018, 12:04:59 AM

TotallyEffed said: "I didn’t notice any toplessness tonight.

Neither did I. She hooked her bra in the dark, but there was no toplessness that I saw.

The acting, direction, and writing were extremely uneven. One scene in particular borders on camp. I didn’t care for this play."

If you mean the scene with her hand bandaged, it was laughably bad.



Mary Page Marlowe begins previews  Jul 9 2018, 10:55:32 PM

Saw this tonight and it's like a first or second draft with no reason to exist. I was really looking forward to it, but the writing is lazy, the set design is odd, the acting is wildly uneven & it looks like the director didn't show up for work.

Some scenes work okay, but many are just excuses for exposition and there is a lot of exposition made to look like it's not.

I didn't care about anyone onstage except the son who wasn't on

THIS AIN'T NO DISCO thread  Jul 8 2018, 12:56:55 PM

Caught this, this week and have mixed feelings. Most of the cast is very good. Much of the music is good. All of the book is a stupefyingly bad summation of a Wikipedia entry.

Since it calls itself "A Rock Opera" the lack of disco is understandable (but I did miss it, a little bit).

The book is a superficial first draft with no focus, plot holes galore, no point of view and no idea what story it wants to tell. Maybe its biggest flaw, of many, is that it

On A Clear Day You Can See Forever at Irish Rep  Jun 24 2018, 02:07:46 PM

We saw this last night and enjoyed it. Beautiful score stripped down made me appreciate it far more than the Harry Connick revival.

It's a cute show with a dumb story and great music, like so many other musicals I've seen. Audience seemed to like it. I've noticed that some comments criticized this production on what it isn't, not what it is (ie. what songs were cut etc.). My only exposure to this was the Connick revival, so I don't know it very well.

Betty Buckley @ Joe's Pub  Jun 5 2018, 11:52:01 PM

Hmmm....

Caught Betty Buckley's show tonight and I should say, at the outset, that I've seen her so many times over the years, I'm not sure why she hasn't gotten a restraining order. I've been a huge fan for a very long time.

Tonight was the first of 4 concerts to celebrate the release of her new CD called Hope, which was recorded live, last year, at Joe's Pub. I was there, last year, as well, and it's ostensibly the same show, with a fe


'Secret Life Of Humans' at 59E59  Jun 1 2018, 11:53:01 PM

Caught this tonight, not really knowing much about it, except that it is inspired by Yuval Harari's bestseller, 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.'

This was exceptional and my favorite show since Yerma.

Runs about 85 minutes and for the first 20, I had no idea where we were going, but I was willing to go. Once it became evident what this was about, it was totally engrossing and flew by.

Marin Mazzie/Jason Danieley @ NJPAC  May 12 2018, 11:38:02 PM

If you have an opportunity to see these two, live, do yourself a favor and go. Both are fantastic and play off each other like they've been married 20 years :)

One minor quibble is that there isn't enough patter between songs. Only occasionally do they mention what they're singing and why. An entire Sondheim section of the show is done as though everyone is familiar with the songs and/or the shows. I went with someone who had no clue what songs like Move On

Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees to Make Broadway Debut in KINKY BOOTS; Carrie St. Louis and J. Harrison Ghee to Join Cast  May 8 2018, 11:04:14 PM

I wonder if Tyler Glenn slipped in on Sunday to take some of the pressure off. Saw this tonight and the good news, is that for a show running this long, it's in surprisingly good shape.

The better news is that J. Harrison Ghee is a star in every sense of the word. I've said before that I think he's better than Billy Porter (whom I love). I've seen him 3 times in Kinky Boots and once at PaperMill in The Sting and he is an exceptional talent.

Yes, it is.

I wasn't, in the least.

I'm not out of line about that comment by the way.

Yes, you are.

This person made all kinds of generalizations and nasty comments that suggested that they already had a fat prejudice before even stepping into the theatre.

You have fabricated this entirely. But, you, appar

I don't think anyone here has a problem with the actual people! It's being mad at the situation, not the person for being overweight.No doubt that they areuncomfortable and probably embarrassed, and I feel empathy for that. But it also sucks to not be able to fully enjoy a show because of the physical experience.

Exactly. I spoke briefly with them beforehand and they seemed quite lovely. I'm no more upset at them being overweight th

The person can't lose 20 pounds by curtain. There's nothing to be done. Unless the person smells, I don't really care how close we are. Maybe because I grew up in New York and I'm used to being jammed next to strangers. Either way a little compassion is always good and I often feel like overweig

Really? Not only did you had to take a shower because the person next to you smelled bad, but after the shower, you still smelled them?

I smell it as I'm writing this. It's probably just one of those things that gets in your nose and stays. The person smelled. It's an observation, not a criticism.

Good point. I didn't even consider that because it was sold out. But, they may have had another option.


My fault for not getting an aisle seat, I guess.

 



When Someone Overflows Onto Your Seat & Ruins The Show?  Apr 25 2018, 11:09:38 PM

I'm a pretty easy-going guy & can put up with a lot in the theater, from cell phones to folks eating Chinese food during the show. And, it takes a lot to make me angry, but tonight, I am so angry I could spit nails.

I saw Three Tall Women tonight. Or, at least, I tried to see Three Tall Women tonight. 

I paid a lot of money for an Orchestra seat. I was dead center. Great seat. Except the otherwise lovely person next to me was very large and to


MY FAIR LADY (2018) Previews  Apr 19 2018, 12:39:04 AM

Caught this tonight, as well, and wasn't going to say anything, figuring I was the outlier, but my exact thought walking in my front door, was "what a missed opportunity."

The whole show is flat and desperately needs a shot of adrenaline. I felt like I was watching My Fair Lady on quaaludes. The book scenes, for some reason I can't discern, were well done and so much better than the musical numbers (save the fabulous orchestra).

The sets are both


THE STING at Paper Mill - Reports  Apr 9 2018, 06:21:27 PM

It does seem like the Times was trying a little too hard to be kind.

I don't know how I saw a different show in a different theater, but if this moves to Broadway, I've got a dollar that says it becomes Honeymoon In Vegas, Part Two.
