Can someone please discuss the concept behind this production?  Mar 7 2019, 09:47:42 AM

Iknow I’m in the minority on that. Justdo a search under thoset showsand you’ll find scathing posts here!

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/3/19  Mar 4 2019, 04:05:56 PM

Wow, rough week. My Fair Lady I don't think can make it to July if those numbers don't improve. The show doesn't seem cheap to run and I hate to point this out but Laura Benanti's absences (planned and unplanned -- she was out again yesterday) don't help. Also wondering how Waitress, King Kong and Pretty Woman can hang on.



Bradley Cooper and Gaga in Sunset Blvd  Mar 4 2019, 10:20:44 AM

This film totally does not need to be made. The musical is so-so. Close's singing at this point in her life is less than so-so. Nothing will ever compare with the Billy Wilder film. People who loved seeing Glenn Close onstage can keep their memories. Seriously.



Film Actors Who Are  Feb 26 2019, 06:56:02 PM

Does Laura Linney count? I know she's had extensive Broadway experience but I knew her primarily from her movies and was really impressed with her in The Little Foxes.



Will Glenn Close get her Oscar for Sunset?  Feb 25 2019, 09:14:27 PM

Colman was great in The Favourite but I thought if anyone should have won Best Actress in that film it was Rachel Weisz. I thought she really made something three dimensional out of a character who on the surface is just a grasping opportunist. 



First review for BEST WORST THING EVER COULD HAPPENED  Feb 20 2019, 02:10:40 PM

I've seen some YT videos with Lonny Price talking about the making of this documentary and it seems that over the years many of the OBC have remained extremely close friends. This is the group that also happens to still be close to Hal Prince. Best Worst Thing seems to heavily favor that group over the group that might not be that close to Lonny Price and his OBC friends. I think they're still close -- a group fot eh OBC went to Fiasco's Merrily.

Merrily We Roll Along REVIEWS  Feb 19 2019, 11:21:56 PM

I get what he's trying to say. I think he's trying to say that stripped down musical arrangements don't work for Sondheim's score. I happen to agree with him. His scores have a richness that demand a similar richness in orchestration. I've seen stripped down versions of Sweeney Todd but when you hear the Sweeney Todd OBC (or the wonderful film with Lansbury and O'Hearn) the "chamber" Sweeney's seem bare and wrong. 



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/17/19  Feb 19 2019, 10:27:34 PM

I know it's closing in April but I'm shocked by the dip in TBV. It was doing decently (if not great) not too long ago, now if these numbers keep up it might not even make it to April.

Oklahoma transferring to Circle in the Square...  Feb 19 2019, 02:46:30 PM

Ok so ... is this Oklahoma momsical material? My mom loves Oklahoma but prefers old fashioned G-rated productions with good singing and dancing. Is there anything that would make her go "whoa"?



Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY  Feb 19 2019, 08:19:27 AM

Would my mom have liked Kerstin Anderson more? My mom likes sweet, ingenue Elizas. Is Kerstin Anderson more along that vein?

Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY  Feb 17 2019, 07:12:21 AM

OlBlueEyes said: "
But I'd rather switch to a more specific question. To me there is no question that Laura performed the role of Eliza the least like it had been drawn by Shaw and performed by Wendy Hiller and Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn. They were lacking in self-confidence, afraid of the "officer" who wastaking down her words, responding to Higgins, "Who'd marry me?" Laura's Eliza knows that she is as good as any other if given the chance.


Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY  Feb 16 2019, 09:18:25 PM

So I just returned from my seeing MFL with my mom this afternoon. All the principals were on, and my mom is usually very enthusiastic. Indeed she loved Henry Hadden-Patton and Danny Burstein, REALLY loved Christian Dante White, and she really also liked the ending. She said it "made more sense" because "Eliza could never be happy with Higgins." Keep in mind she's very old fashioned and was mildly bothered by the drag dancers in "Get Me to the Church."



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/10/19  Feb 11 2019, 06:57:55 PM

I know everyone loves My Fair Lady but these are not strong numbers ...
