tony awards rant Jun 8
2015, 02:09:50 PM
there was much to rant about:
The lukewarm opening. Two Tony winner standouts and you start out with poorly crafted famous song re-writes? If that's what you wanted, stick with NPH.
Alan Cumming is too old to play cutie dress up boy. So handsome in a classic tux.
Kristin can't dance.
Kelli performs and then Kristin sings the song again backstage with crappy rewrite lyrics. How rude.
Not enough repre

Yes, I think you have correctly predicted a standing ovation for Patti's win!

Weather alerts tonight are eating up EVERY performance!!!
This is a disaster for me.
Weathermen like to talk more than theatre egomaniacs

There is something to be said that getting the details right is just as important as getting the talent booked.
Congrats to SP;
Just as deserving -- Sunday
So wonderful! Gypsy!

Technical awards all deservedly going to SP
I'll never forget the scenic design presented in Sunday/George but SP was "clean as a whistle/sharp as a tack"

Naugh! Patti was in wonderful voice and gave them the most professional performance of the evening, bar none.
They should retract the choreography award and give it post-performance to Rob

Danny was a true featured actor. Boyd is a leading man.

Cruel to be kind, in the right measure.
Almost unanimously, the Grease performance was awkward, off key and no where near the caliber of the other showcased musicals.

re: What do you think is the best show currently playing? Jun 13
2008, 04:23:31 PM
Considering, direction, set decoration, lighting, sound, orchestrations and strong ensemble cast, South Pacific, by far the best produced show I've ever seen.
Considering an individual performance: Gypsy for Patti, Sunday in the Park for Video Effects and Lead Actor, and for lead female actress in a play, August: Osage County

I had to write back, Hello Dolly is on TV. While I was writing my post, the number "When the Parade Passes By" was on. I looked up and the Suffrogettes (excuse the spelling) were marching down the avenue. The camera zooms in on a harsh, male-hater...
Some things may never change.

Personally, I found it a very condescending number. "Is he Arab or a Suicide Bomber?" "Is she white or close enough?" Just because the guy knows last year's Prada shoe collection, doesn't mean he's as swishy as a Maytag washer machine. But given that the whole show's climax depends on that silly little pointless dribble, of all the little things to sweat, we can keep from perspiring on this little nothing number. I think the world of Jerry Mitchell and his work, and I wonder sometimes how t

re: SOUTH PACIFIC SEATING QUESTION May 3
2008, 10:47:17 PM
Keith, jsg is correct, there isn't a bad seat in the house. I would hesitate to sit center back. I was perhaps five rows down from there and I was extremely enthralled with the show.
For me, it's one of the best PRODUCTIONS I have ever experienced.
Enjoy the show

It will be well-received across the country as a time honored favorite musical. I'll go see it in Little Rock :)
