Best Scene Changes Jun 3

Broadway61004 said: "I absolutely hated the 2001 Follies revival, in part because everything leading up to Loveland was so sparse and dreary, however that did make the transition into the follies that much more emphatic, when suddenly this lavish set appears and transports you to a different world. Still didn't make up for the first act and a half, but at least that particular transition was effective."

Rumpelstiltskin said: "Sally Field surprised me in a good way. I thought herbrand of quirky passion worked well for the role. I wasn’t as impressed with Bryan Cranston. His line deliveries were fine but I needed him to connect more with the audience. I know that the letters are read by the actors, but I think the play works best when they alternate between reading and speaking directly to us. Sally Field handled the mix well; I felt the words came from her and not the written p

Bettyboy72 said: "AC126748 said: "The show flopped on Broadway a few years ago because audiences weren’t willing to pay $150 to watch two actors read from scripts at desks in their street clothes — even if those actors are on the level of an Alan Alda or a Carol Burnett. The production was solid and got a rave review in the Times, but it still didn’t go anywhere financially. " Exactly. It’s too slight to be that expensive even with name

I've seen this show with several different pairs. It's trickier than it looks. If the casting isn't spot on, it doesn't work.

Finally got to view the DADDY LONGLEGS video on BroadwayHD.
WTF???
How could Daddy torture that girl for so long.
SPOILER
Everything magically gets wrapped up in the last minute. And she just forgives him.
Boo!!!!!!
BTW - I really liked almost ALL the songs. And Megan McGinnis is just about perfect.

In D.C.,I also did see (pre-Broadway) the original Mack and Mabel and Sugar, both at The Kennedy Center, I sort of liked them as I was an impressionable teenager and was awe-struc

Really? I left at intermission. I rarely do that. But the boredom of it all just forced me out.

Maybe Glick’s physical presence onstage changed his characterization. But onscreen he came across as just another self-involved milenn. Babe, not everyone exists to feed your needs. You gotta put yourself out there and create your own life.

Well acted.
But really? He's crushed because he couldn't find a boyfriend and he's the 3rd wheel in all of his girlfriends lives? What year does this take place in? Haven't these subjects been explored ad nauseam?
Reminds me of the end of COMPANY. OK...so now - get going and get a life, K?

Change of heart on particular actors? May 10
2020, 04:08:42 PM
Was Meh about Aaron Tveit until the Sondheim 90. Now I like him more. Almost always loved Donna Murphy (not so much in Dolly and Passion) but the Sondheim 90 cemented her greatness. Kelli O was always shaky for me until the Virus Videos. Now I want to see her every week. I too was never a big Esparza fan until Encores. His Anyone Can Whistle and Road Show performances were excellent. Sutton is Sutton. I’ve seen great and meh and bored from her.

Ryan Murphy's HOLLYWOOD on Netflix May 6

I loved the performances across the board, but would single out three as standouts: Joe Mantello, Patti Lupone, and Dylan McDermott. I have seen Mantello act in only threeshows, and I thought he should have won the Tony for The Normal Heart. Hisperformance in this show blew me away; it was just so lived in and honest. It made me want him to spend much more time taking classic character actor roles in movies and TV and theatre, even if the price is directing less.Patti Lupone was also just

Loved this uber-fantasy.
Two quibbles - why couldn't they find good actors to play Rock Hudson and the starring girl in Meg. These two were just wrong.
