My Broadway Weekend Mar 8
2016, 05:28:41 PM
A flying visit form Glasgow, Scotland for 2 days on Broadway. Show 1 was Something Rotten on Friday night. Loved it especially as all the cast were on. Worth the ticket price for Brad Oscar and the company performing It's a Musical...nothing beats a kick line..and took my mind off all the audience with their sippy cups but at least they do switch off their phones. Day 2 and matinee was She Loves Me..what more could you wish for? Cast, staging and orchestra were wonderful. There were a few

Gypsy Live at the Savoy Jan 4
2016, 05:25:53 PM
I just love that we all are talking about the best Gypsy performance and the best Rose..I was Clarence and his classic clarinet and a newsboy in 1979...the Scottish Amateur Premier at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow. The Rose was Dixie Carr..she was a professional actress who had retired..the one thing I will never forget was hearing the Overture as I was already preset on stage as a beginner...and that sent me on the career I still have in the theatre. Gypsy will always evolve and c

Advice on buying tickets Jun 29
2015, 07:16:14 PM
I've booked flights and hotels for a wee trip to NY at end of July. Started to look at theatre tickets and they are so expensive. Is it better to turn up to the box office on the day with my Equity Card and hope for a chance? It's just a sad homo alone looking for single tickets to a weekend of Broadway. Advice please so I don't waste money.

Hi Friends..coming for a long weekend from 7th Feb and I've booked for Little Me concert and Madama Butterfly at the Met so I have 3 more shows to fill. What would you suggest? I have to admit there is nothing that jumps out as I've seen all the long runs and the British transfers..guess I could see Chicago for the 27th time! I'm happy to go back to an old favourite if there has been an amazing cast change. Any play or musical on or off Broadway I'll consider if any one says it's worth seeing. T

Bebe Neuwirth in Spider Woman Apr 10
2012, 07:29:29 PM
Saw both Chita and Bebe in London...I'm afraid to say that it wasn't Bebe's finest hour. I remember the long wig that got in the way..she looked very uncomfortable in the role. That said it was something special with both Spider Women and I'm very sad that the UK audiences didn't buy tickets and missed out on a great piece of theatre.

Why do we have so many London 'stars' opening on Broadway? Feb 26
2012, 07:30:02 PM
Spare a thought for poor LORETTA ABLES SAYRE who did two and half years as Bloody Mary with South Pacific on Braodway. She is halfway through a substandard, crappy cast,piss poor tour of Lincoln Center's South Pacific here in the UK. She is a star turn but I'm sure it ticks boxes for Equity on both sides of the water. A bit like Bonnie Langford doing Chicago in the middle of nowhere USA.

Rumor about next Reno Sweeney Oct 15

Its great to see this Tari support..I will never forget going into the theatre and hearing the audience bitchin as Sutton was off.

Rumor about next Reno Sweeney Oct 15
2011, 04:37:39 PM
Just give it to Tari Kelly..she was pretty sensational the night I saw her as Reno. She's already part of the family and the production is so tight it doesn't need a star name. Cole Porter will always be the headliner.

September Visit Sep 23
2011, 06:33:39 PM
Did a weekend visit from the UK. 8th to 12th September. Mary Poppins, Book of Mormon, Anything Goes, Follies and Lion King..all a family choice..I have to say my 76 year old mother's favourite was Book of Mormon!I won't waste your time on here with reviews as you've all heard it before. So I'll stick with Anything Goes..we arrived at the theatre and were hit with a wall of very disgruntled audience memebers as Sutton Foster was off. The mainly ancient audience were not happy that the star was no
