This Thursday, January 22nd, Broadway Sessions will hold it's first ever "Broadway Game Night". 2 teams of Broadway favorites will go head to head in a series of hilarious games and challenges. Resulting in "Swan Song" musical performances. Scheduled to "play" are Charl Brown, Jessica Hendy, Peter Gregus, Ta'Rea Campbell, Mike Schwitter and Ellyn Marie Marsh.
The starry lineup is now complete for BROADWAY SINGS P!NK, the seventh concert of the series. Some of Broadway's brightest talents will sing completely new arrangements of the hits of pop superstar P!NK, accompanied by a full band playing brand new, original orchestrations of the singer's greatest songs. The previous sold-out shows included Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, and Justin Timberlake.
If you've been a regular reader of this particular reviewer's musings, you know that every year there are long stretches of time where I just haven't been able to critique all the shows I've seen that deserve commentary. So I end up playing what they call in sports, 'Catch-up ball,' and post a mash up of belated reviews from past shows. It's kind of like a critic's version of the song 'Six Months Out of Every Year,' from Damn Yankees. Give or take a month or two, that's usually the time period during which I store unpublished reviews in my fevered brain and then unload them all in one seemingly endless column-like this one is going to be. If my cabaret-show reviewing days will be over (as chronicled here), I might as well go out with a bang-and relieve my procrastination guilt during holiday season. Now I can scratch one New Year's resolution off the list.
