Beautifully done blog.

Steel Pier - had the pedigree: Scott Ellis, Susan Stroman, Kander & Ebb, Karen Ziemba, Kristin Chenoweth in her Broadway debut. Nominated for everything, won nothing. Those in the show remember it fondly.

Bandstand - bad timing? Misleading name? National tour supposed to begin next month through June. No cast yet. At least there’s a good film that captures the show.

John Simon, at 92, praised Bandstand. Not outstanding but better than its Tony competition including dreary, tuneless and improbable Dear Evan. Is it considered positive or negative to be praised by Simon?

Sherry (a studio album was released a bit ago with Nathan Lane and Carol Burnett)

Stop the World I Want to Get Off and Roar of the Greasepaint The Smell of the Crowd (both starring the amazing Anthony Newley
