Going Marie's Crisis: yay or nay?  Jul 30 2018, 04:27:07 PM

Sondheimite said: "I used to go to Marie's a few times a week. I loved going until things started to change. I saw, more than once, women turned away at the door because they were "straight" (and you can find numerous reviews on Yelp that say the same). There was a female piano players who demanded tips her entire set in a way and made no one want to tip her. There is a Holier Than Thou attitude that has taken over a lot of the staff and created a really really toxic en

Be More Chill Off-Broadway  Jul 30 2018, 01:29:06 PM

And don't forget Rick Unterberg, Piano Bar Host/Pianist extraordinaire at The Townhouse (every Saturday).  He's one of the best in the city.

 

 



Going Marie's Crisis: yay or nay?  Jul 30 2018, 07:34:23 AM

I always tip $1 per drink so I’ve never had a problem.

Just make sure you buy at least one drink. Nurse it all night or at least keep a little drink in your glass and no one can say you aren’t drinking. And tell them, if a waitress asks, that you are still drinking.

But I’ve never had anyone force me to drink there.

I like Wed too (Kenny is usually playing and he’s a bit more esoteric in his song choices).

But Thurs is good t


Video is up!  Jul 26 2018, 02:10:00 AM

Not for nothing, but she has absolutely no resemblance to Merman, physically or vocally.

 

Loved her in Mamma Mia and Parade.  These clips...not so much.  That's getting to be a mighty piercing voice.

Shout out to Ian Paget from DISCO musical  Jul 16 2018, 03:29:55 PM

Somebody else also mentioned this on the other theatre site.

 

Almost worth the price of admission.
 

When the production lets you down, there's always the spectacle of Paget's terpsichordian spendor.

 



Official Bernadette Peters in Hello, Dolly! performances thread  Jul 16 2018, 11:49:49 AM
Yeah. That’s exactly what lovebway is saying.

The magic of the theatre.

And I always wonder what those poor cast members are thinking when they have to stand there for 10 minutes while Dolly does her eating schtick!



THE DAMNED  Jul 14 2018, 08:00:02 PM
Has anyone seen this?



Official Bernadette Peters in Hello, Dolly! performances thread  Jul 14 2018, 02:24:47 AM
Saw it tonight.

Bernadette was damn near perfect.

Voice was fine. No glitches. Comedy was right on and she was slyly sexy. She made me cry a few times, not just from the script emotion, but because it was Bernadette up there doing this classic role - so well and entertainingly.

Enjoyed it much more than with Midler and Murphy. She creates a joy up there that transfers to the rest of the cast. The ensemble was tight and loose and funny and fierce. Even that intermina

Jagged Little Pill to Premiere at ART  Jun 16 2018, 11:37:50 AM

Saw JLP last Thursday.

 

Not earth shattering...but damn good.  Like a series of good music videos.  Choreography is great.  Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is a real find.  And book is clever and sharp.  Staging and video are just about perfect.  Morissette's songs sure work for this Musical. 

 

Sure plot is shoehorned.  But I went with the machinations and found myself having a good time.  Even with

You’re CONTINUALLY shocked?


Most of us aren’t lighting designers.


Thanks for the info, though.



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Previews  Jun 4 2018, 03:16:43 PM

Not my cup of tea.

 

But well done.  Just not as enchanting as I would like.  In the end it felt like one long psychotherapy session between Fathers and Sons ironing out their problems. 

 

And those garbly English accents!  what in hell are you saying, actors?

 

Magic was fine, but not really dazzling. 

 

I do have one question:

 



HALF TIME at Paper Mill - Reports  Jun 2 2018, 10:02:11 PM
I rarely leave shows at intermission.

I left half way thru the first act.

“Half Baked” is being kind.


FROZEN cast performs on GMA  Jun 1 2018, 11:26:54 AM

Elegance101 said: "My thing about Frozen is why would I pay Broadway prices to see this? I could see something honestly not that much different in quality (and at least it’s only an hour) at California Adventure AND I get to enjoy Disney Land. "

 

Exactly correct, Elegance. 



FROZEN cast performs on GMA  Jun 1 2018, 03:44:36 AM
Saw the show tonight.

VERY underwhelmed. The cartoon moved fast and didnt let us dwell on the grim sections. The stage version wallows in the grimness. Sorry, not my cup of tea. The new songs are negligible.

But “Hygge” is one of those numbers you’ve gotta be able to say that you saw. Jaw dropping, completely inappropriate and a hoot. Second Act it just for that.


Hats off to Ryan Vasquez - Hamilton  May 27 2018, 04:49:39 PM

RicardoMagon said: "Oh ok. It sounds like Vasquez is making it more of a journey. You can see his mind grinding at the wheel. That's cool. I saw Michael a while ago, I thought he was a great Hamilton. Perhaps the OP saw him on an off night?

Unrelated question: Does the actor performing Hamilton do 8 shows a week? I know Lin took off some performances during his initial run but I can't remember if that was just a Lin thing or if it's a Hamilton thing. The role i


Hats off to Ryan Vasquez - Hamilton  May 27 2018, 04:36:00 PM

BroadwayConcierge said: "RicardoMagon said: "How's Michael Luwoye doing these days? And what makes Ryan Vasquez unbelievable? Is he doing something different? A different take on the role?"

Luwoye is still fantastic. He's playing the role just as powerfully as when I saw him in late 2016 when he was Javi's alternate.

Vasquez gives Burr a trajectory I haven't seen played by many others. He starts off the show youngand sort of sm


Hats off to Ryan Vasquez - Hamilton  May 27 2018, 04:24:08 PM

Luwoye just doesn't have the presence or charisma that is needed for Hamilton.  Several times I just forgot that he was the lead character.  He fades.  IMHO.
