Kokandy's Into the Woods in Chicago
Nov 4
2024, 08:58:38 PM
It’s a great, shoestring production. Wonderful pitch and pure voices. It’s in the Chopin basement, so EVERYONE will miss something due to the 6 thick pesky poles that hold up the ceiling.
The two grand pianos become a character in the show, and the audience is treated to a beautiful coda by the pianists after the bows.
Upstairs, in a different show, is a parody that mixes the Scooby Doo gang with the Golden Girls.

DEATH BECOMES HER Previews

After seeing the show in Chicago a few times, it was a treat to see the numerous changes made to the show Saturday night.
There’s no way I can recall every change and in order.
1. Stepan’s harp was returned. It was only used in Chicago in the mansion set during the first days of tryouts. The harp has resurfaced in Madeline’s NY apartment.
2. In addition to Stepan’s new, brief exit number in Act 2, JOSH LAMON’s Elvis

darquegk said: "Not a lost “show” so much as a lost variant, but during that same file-sharing era I was given a audio bootleg of a Pippin revival that was labeled as East West but wasn’t.”
The East West Players of LA had a production of PIPPIN during their 2007-2008 season.
But it sounds like there was a mislabeled bootleg.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - 1st National Tour
Sep 13
2024, 09:00:58 PM
It’s a solid production, with an especially strong Act 2. I caught the Sept 10 performance.
I went in as blind as possible. Never read the Harry Potter books. I likely would have picked up on more references if familiar with the characters.
Every few minutes, there is clever, magical staging. The show held my interest. I especially liked the bookcase scene.
There isn’t a pool of water as referenced above, but there is a time traveling fount

Audra McDonald-led GYPSY for 2024-2025 Season!
Sep 12
2024, 06:57:23 PM
One reason I keep watching Survivor season after season is to see the difficult relationships, backstabbing, and ugly competition.
I want to petition CBS to place 18 BWW posters on the show. As always, there will be be contestants we love and contestants we hate.
Immunity competitions could include painting a theatre interior, playing GYPSY’s trumpet music, or reciting Herbie’s Act 2 dialogue in reverse.

Wow! That is amazing. Thank you for the clarification.

When Titanic started previews, Act 2’s WE’LL MEET TOMORROW wasn’t in the show.
Maury sensed a need for a departure number - in which loved ones acknowledged that they have to say goodbye. He wrote the bittersweet number during previews.
The night it first appeared in the show, it was piano accompaniment ONLY. The full orchestration was added the next night.

….a pair of legends is coming back home to the stage.
An easy way to remember the correct usage - and it’s correct to say A PAIR OF LEGENDS IS - is to remove the prepositional phrase from the passage.
A PAIR IS performing at the Booth.
‘Cause it ain’t good English to say A PAIR ARE.

We balconygoers will likely be moved to the mezzanine. It could happen on the night of the show, or we might be offered the free upgrade ahead of our performance date.
I have a ticket in the last balcony row - H - for a late October date.

Full cast appeared in Tuesday night’s performance.
Everyone sounded great, performing to a sold out house.
A few programs in the balcony still carried last week’s insert of understudies/swings, but Tuesday’s show definitely had the standard full cast.
