Profile for Mekroth

The revival cut the whole bit with Pirelli in the chest, but I can't think of anything besides that. I suppose some trims here and there around the edges of the scenes.

What does the Kanji for "clear mirror, still water" have to do with the treaty?

Has anyone seen it recently? Any changes/improvements?

It's British but the show Chewing Gum started as a play.

Conversation at Night with a Despised Character

The only thing The Visit took from that dreadful Bernhard Wiki film was the name of the lead. Thankfully, in many ways, the musical stays close to the play except where it makes its own unique diversions. It even includes details from the original script that didn't make it into Valency's first 'translation' of the play.

So, what's her real problem here? Snark? Because she and Annoying Actor Friend and their cohorts on twitter are all snark machines. Anonymity? Because I've always seen people railing against anonymity to be no more than "say it to my face" types, all bark and pond scum. It is because we made her dog cry? Because no one made her dog cry (what even was that about).

So Long Derie in Hello Dolly starts pretty low.

The one that comes immediately to mind is Maxwell Anderson's Key Largo. It ran for a little more than 100 performances on broadway, but became a giant John Huston hit, a classic, an award-winner, and a legendary piece of history.

It's unconscionable the way she's dragging her fellow actresses into this, supposedly quoting them and using their names completely without their permission. That is so absolutely unfair to both of them, especially if they were actually treated so poorly by Kulick.

Here we go again.

Brecht's plays are always sort-of musicals, operettas or "plays with music". If Kurt Weill wrote the score, we usually keep it. If someone else was the composer, like in the case of Mother Courage and Paul Dessau, we like to revise the score every time it's produced. So this time around, the duties were given to Duncan Sheik.

I happened very recently upon The Zulu and the Zayda, having heard absolutely nothing about it before. The score is truly wonderful and the story is an absolute treasure.

Well, now that this thread is back...

In Company, why does Bobby remind David of the Seagram's building? What does that mean?

I do love her with red hair. That's such a central part of the play's imagery and, as beautiful as Doyle's production was, I really missed having it. Especially since Chita really rocks that hue. If you want to look at bigger, more flamboyant Claire's, look up the play on youtube. It is often a showcase for some of the best Grande Dames working in the theatre.

A little bit different, but Carol Channing in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Lorelai comes to mind.
