MAKE BELIEVE at Tony Kiser (Second Stage)  Aug 8 2019, 04:53:48 PM
The first part dragged on too long. The kids are very good - especially - the boy playing Chris, but it didn’t seem like it would ever get to the grown ups. Samantha Mathis was good as the older sister, but the whole play came alive when Susannah Flood showed up. I was afraid we had lost her to TV. I’m sorry her show was cancelled, but selfishly I’m glad she’s back on stage. Brad Herberlee was terrific too. It is amazing how real stage actors can elevate a so-so production. If you can mak

At the Chappelle show am attendant took the phone and put it in the pouch and secured it. It’s not foolproof but he was checking to make sure they were off. He even had to show one woman how to turn her phone off because she didn’t know how (no she wasn’t a senior).

Audience Having a Bad Time?  Jul 22 2019, 04:45:52 PM
I saw an early preview of Into The Fire before they cut the (2?) virginity test scenes and Jo Lampert’s C*NT wifebeater. As if they were what was wrong with the show. They mercifully cut Mare Winningham completely.

Saint Joan was a slog but I thought the cast was great except for CR. Totally miscast. And I loved her in A Doll’s House Part 2.

I sat second row (of 2) mezzanine. It’s raked. Might be the better choice for this show.

Audience Having a Bad Time?  Jul 22 2019, 08:29:14 AM
I went to one of the last performances of a Gentleman’s Guide and a man had brought his mother. He told her it had won the Tony. She replied “It did?”.

Alice by Heart definitely. There was a talkback after the show that was greeted by uncomfortable silence. It was numbingly bad.

The Arden Theater production of Annie Baker’s “John”. I was practically alone on my side of the theater during Act 3. Without Georgia Engel it just doesn’t work.

You should see Slave Play as early as possible before everyone sees it and spoils it. For $39 yes it is successful.

The play, set in turn-of-the-century Claremore, concerns a young cowboy named Curly McClain and the girl he fancies, an 18-year-old orphan named Laurey Williams, who has been raised by her Aunt Eller. Laurey is attracted to Curly, but disturbed by the attentions of a crude farmhand named Jeeter Fry, who is obsessed with her. Curly and Laurey are wed, but their wedding night shivaree turns into a nightmare: After jeering r

Moulin Rouge Previews  Jul 8 2019, 10:03:14 PM

I didn’t hate this, just found the book cringeworthy. Ditch the book and just give us the songs. The WHOLE songs. I couldn’t help the crack about GFTNC which I did kind of hate. I have high hopes for Tina because I think her story could make for a very compelling show. But the track record is not very good. Same for JLP.

I think Robert Horn deserved the Tony for his terrific book even if people find the concept horribly dated. The Prom was also terrific. And Head Over H

Moulin Rouge Previews  Jul 8 2019, 06:38:38 AM
I’m wondering if this show will have legs. I can see it selling really well for a few months and then petering out.

Also looking forward to the Tonys when this goes head to head with Girl From the North Country for best book.


Moulin Rouge seating  Jul 6 2019, 09:13:43 AM
Alrigjht, I did the pit. If you can afford it do it. You are so close it’s total sensory immersion. You will miss a few things Santine descending some of Danny and the ensemble, but 95% of the show is in front of you and you have the best seat in the house.

I just wish it had been more immersive like Network or Great Comet and they had served us food (for our $400). But the space is very cramped and there seems to be a correlation between people who buy these seats and people who ea

2018-2019 shows that have recouped?  Jul 5 2019, 06:37:36 PM

TKAMB was snubbed by the Tonys.  He will take every opportunity to remind the Broadway community that despite their best efforts, the show’s a Mega-Hit.
