Your First Broadway Show Jun 14

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying 1962. From the moment the overture started I was hooked! And that has not changed.

What Was The Worst Musical You Saw Apr 8
2020, 06:30:37 AM
For me this is a no-brainer - Thou Shalt Not (the only show I ever walked out of at intermission, along with about 20% of the audience!)

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

What shows have you walked out on? May 25
2018, 05:34:48 AM
Thou Shalt Not - would have left before intermission if I hadn't been stuck in the center of the row! Best overheard line from a lady also walking out at intermission: "i guess even Stroman is allowed a bad day"

Jim Parsons tripped onstage today May 15
2018, 11:23:20 AM
Saw this last week and thought it to be very well done, however, I also thought that Parson's was the weak link as part of an overall extraordinary cast.

DAVID COTE Out at TIME OUT Apr 28
2017, 05:31:48 AM
Speaking of DiLella, there are few people who annoy me more!! When he gets airtime, I either mute the TV or just switch channels. Get rid of him and just have Cote take over his spot.

Debbie Reynolds has passed away Dec 29
2016, 06:06:37 AM
Debbie Reynolds was truly one of a kind. Whenever I hear Good Morning it still puts a smile on my face. Cannot believe that within a week both she and George Irving have passed, I too was lucky enough to see them both on Broadway in Irene. RIP.

Tammy Grimes Nov 1
2016, 07:10:46 AM
The first time I ever saw a show twice was because I was so taken by Tammy Grimes - High Spirits. To this day I still regularly listen to Home Sweet Heaven and You'd Better Love Me (also has one of my favorite overtures!).
RIP

Going to theatre alone? Mar 21
2016, 01:23:48 PM
I usually go along and generally don't mind it. The only time I needed to search around for a companion was when I was the lottery for Hamilton last week and had bought 2 tickets - that was certainly not hard to find someone to attend with me!

Palace Theater Seating Apr 1
2015, 01:34:21 PM
Four rows back in the mezz are still great seats, even slightly to the side. I think you would be happier there than that far back in the orchestra. Remember, it's a dance show and you get a better perspective from the mezz.

Palace Theater Seating Apr 1

Palace stage is very high, I sat front row mezz for this and couldn't ask for a better seat!

Best staged number in theatre history? Mar 26
2015, 06:17:38 AM
I know I'm going to get a bit of heat from this one but I don't recall enjoying a number more in recent years than "It's a Musical" from Something Rotten! Too new??
