Which play should I see? Apr 3

Good People first and foremost. If you're able to see a second play, absolutely War Horse.

The House of Blue Leaves — whats the buzz? Apr 1
2011, 09:41:06 PM
I'll jump on the masterpiece bandwagon.
When I saw Blue Leaves in 1987 I didn't know what to expect being completely unfamiliar with the play. Once I had seen it, I couldn't forget it and went back two more times. The cast; especially Mahoney and Kurth were incredible.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

"Why can't Broadway be a home for BOTH rising stage actors AND TV/movie stars who want to play the Great White Way?"
Because it's a business, and producers will not in most circumstances choose rising stage actors without proven draw over TV/movie stars who are proven commodities. I don't blame the producers, they are after all looking to recoup their investments.
At the risk of sounding juvenille; it's an unfair playing field.

I agree with Brantly to a degree.
IMO Ashford screwed this up with over aggressive choreography and miscasting. I felt like I was watching a group Floor Excersise competition at the Olympics. It seemed to me so heavily choreographed that the plot could never gain firm footing and the characters never connected. At least not for me.
Kudos and much respect to Radcliffe for thinking outside the box of movie star, and whom I thought was trying his best; but he is miscast IMO. He s

Did the Tony Awards also cause Bret's appendectomy? Mar 25

It was reported at the time of the accident that he had missed his mark and was struck by a piece of scenery; so I don't see where his lawsuit has any teeth.

A tie between the last revival of Grease and Cry Baby. Although I loved Ashford's Choreography for the later, so I guess in reality Grease wins since it made my eyes bleed and CB didn't.

2011 best musical nominees Mar 20

"The Book of Mormon - which I will be shocked if it's NOT nominated."
I'll be shocked if Book of Mormon doesn't win. That said, along with Mormon, I think Priscilla and Catch Me if You Can will be nominated. Personally, I'd love to see The Scottsboro Boys and Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson in the mix. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

Not at all a fan of Parsons, but I'm excited about Lee Pace.

David Hyde Pierce was the voice of the book for a production in - I believe Niagara - a couple years ago. Maybe he's doing it for this production as well.
Correction: It was White Plains;

I first saw the show in Oct. After 15 minutes, I found Rylance more an annoyance than anything else. I didn't dislike his performance - I just tired of it. I thought Pierce was the best part of the show, even though the role of Elomire is thankless. The scenes between he and Ms. Lumley were very good. The Canadian gentleman that played Elomire's sidekick (whose name I have shamefully forgotten)was also very good.
All in all I thought the performances were good. It's the play that's bad.
