I found it interesting that Gwen’s son wasn’t part of the series at all aside from showing his conception. I had read that he lived with Gwen and Bob part of the time.

Definitely give Michelle all the awards. I’m not sure how she tops this but I’d like

They showed highlights from their loves, but didnt chronologically build the story of their lives effectively. Perhaps this was because they rely on the presenters to relay some of this information, but that just isnt as effective in this venue. The presenters should talk about how theyve personally been imp

But if you want to come to NYC to see Billy Joel, an exhibit at the Met, a sporting event, taking in a holiday show with the Rockettes, then.... they're all not approved and have to paythecurrent hotel rates? I guess it's good that thi

Oh my.!..Hello robskynyc.  I re-registered recently...my email changed...I was the first 'musical' several years ago and I have more time to post here now.  I'm a classically trained musician and have enjoyed a life lon

No, not at all.  I've not been active on this site in some time as you might surmise from my minimal posting history.  I just looked briefly at your profile.  We share many favorites in common.  I am genuinely interested in diverse opinions.  I enjoy understanding what appeals to folks (perhaps it's due to my formal education in the behavioral sc

I wish them every success.  They are talented and kind.  I would gladly attend if travel costs weren't so prohibitive.  From reading here again, I more fully understand the concerns raised on this site.  I agree with Kad, I believe it was, that this type of show will probably do better on the road. 

On a bit of a tangent, here is a fantasy I've had for a while. No thorns, please.  I am more than willing to part with sufficient monies so that Br

I'm not familiar with the Home for the Holidays production frequently mentioned in this thread.  Is there a thread on this site documenting the run?  I'm curious to learn what a bit more about the show and why it didn't find an audience.  Also, I gather that the seating capacity for the Imperial Theater is 1417, and the Shubert is about the same size - any thoughts about a better venue for this kind of offering? Sad to read of any show that fails to be of interest.<

I finally watched this.  It is fantastic.  What rich content - so comprehensive.  I particularly enjoyed how the narrative on his contribution to the theater is broken into topic segments - each segment introduced with delightful drawings.  The archival footage reminded me of some I saw in a course I took about Stephen Sondheim - a rehearsal which included clips of a young Mandy Patinkin and Elaine Stritch - I tried to google it without success.  I totally agree with

Indeed, as BrodyFosse123 said: "That was Bennett's way of making his point: these people who you learned about and cared about were once again reduced to "One" same faceless person. A chorus dancer in a crowd." I find that so poigna

BrodyFosse123 said: "The legendary "One" finale.

It always breaks my heart when the lights dim on the stage as Zach starts giving his statements after the audition ends and the cast dancers are showing their excitement which leads into the opening strains of "One". As each actor/dancer starts popping onto the stage all dressed in identical costumes, quickly the audience begins to stop recognizingwho the actor/dancer is as they all now all look the same.

Sondheimite
Again, I've only produced one show so what do I know. BUT if I was producing this show... I'd probably be spending this time promoting/marketing/working onmy show in real ways so that I wouldn't lose all my investors money..."

Is there a thread where posters here share their theater experience?  That's of interest to me.  I've only lurked on this board until recently.  Some time ago, I registered as
