Andrew Garfield wants to return to Broadway with SUNDAY IN THE PARK  Mar 1 2022, 11:18:20 AM

Dollypop said: "SouthernCakes said: "I didn’t find Jake close to perfection at all. Actually didn’t really care for Annaleigh either. And I say that as a big fan of both. I’d rather see Carmen Cusack and Andrew. I don’t think it’s that vocally demanding of a show for George. I’m a singer and think it’s def more of an acting role. It stays pretty baritone, no?"



Garfield might make a good Arthur in CAME


LCT to produce The Skin of Our Teeth on Bway  Feb 23 2022, 10:59:31 PM

I heard that they might do it with one intermission and a pause rather than doing it in 3 acts.


Mr. Saturday Night  Feb 23 2022, 10:49:38 PM

Thanks for the article. I must say there is a lot of talent associated with the production.

Does anyone know if this show was workshopped? How did it all come about? Did it tour?


PLAZA SUITE To Begin Previews at The Hudson 2/25/22  Feb 20 2022, 11:01:25 PM

Are the two actors appearing in each act? Is that the new spin on it?


John McWhorter’s NY Times Opinion Piece on City Center’s Encores  Feb 17 2022, 01:02:12 PM

As I have said I support leaving the book in tact but in doing so sometimes the length becomes an issue. But that has nothing to do with what we all have been discussing.

I have been rereading the play and the book I bought has a fair amount of pictures from the original production which included a very handsome Montgomery Clift.


John McWhorter’s NY Times Opinion Piece on City Center’s Encores  Feb 16 2022, 11:39:23 PM

The idea of Sondheim reworking his own material like Roadshow seems cool to me because he is the original author. But editing or rewriting material that is not your own to make it more relevant and acceptable for 2022 feels wrong.


John McWhorter’s NY Times Opinion Piece on City Center’s Encores  Feb 16 2022, 10:05:19 PM

I just remember reading the new artistic director’s vision statements in the program and wondering if she was on the right path. Kind of like don’t tamper with our beloved Encores.

McWhorter has also been a guest on CNN and has a compelling presence.

Did anyone read it? I can’t seem to paste it.

When does The Life start rehearsal?


THE MUSIC MAN Reviews  Feb 11 2022, 12:25:57 AM

Sounds like Foster has put together a fun and engaging character even though there seems to be a split on the vocals.

You will be fine. The stage uses a turntable that revolves frequently. Not a bad seat in the house.


New York To Drop Indoor Mask Mandate This Week  Feb 9 2022, 03:41:07 PM

New York City might have different mask requirements than New York State.

There is probably a fear of financial loss and major comping. This seems to be a theme with the non profits. 


The Tap Dance Kid at Encores  Feb 8 2022, 11:24:07 AM

I am expecting better things from The Life. I am sure it will be better directed by Mr. Porter.


Laura Benanti projects for 2022?  Feb 4 2022, 02:30:47 AM

Laura? Did you start this thread?

Eh, this is no worse than some of the other recent productions. If the gold standards of the past 10 years at Encores are Grand Hotel, Most Happy Fella, Superman, and Gents Prefer Blondes, this is certainly in the lower tier, but it's at least more engaging than High Button Shoes (which was badly miscast –– and a poor man's Musi

Two hours and 35 to 40 minutes.
