Profile for George in DC

I saw him in London. He wasn't good. What a terrible way to end the run.

Don't agree at all that there's an energy void there. But if Papp thought so and that's why he added "My Eyes are Fully Open" (I doubt it--I think he wanted to give an additional big numberto Smith and Ronstadt, thus interloping this and "Sorry her Lot", I'm grateful. It's a wonderful addition."

 

Actually "My Eyes are Fully Open" is a trio between Frederick, Pirate King and Ruth - wedged in between

"When You Had Left Our Pirate Fold " and "Away Away".

 

I really enjoyed this show though it does not hold a candle to the Papp production, which I saw many times during its run at the Delacourt and then Broadway. What I dsliked most about the new production is once more they have taken a glorious soprano role and changed it to a generic belter "Poor Wandering One" should be show stopper, instead it's just there. It doesn't help that the actress who plays Mabel has no stage presence whatsoever.

I love Andrew Rannels but I wouldn't see the pair of them do "The Producers" and specifically I'd never see Josh Gad do it.

 

It's Arena, I called that. Damn, I do not want to sit through this again.

Since Arena Stage is announcing their season tomorrow, I guess "Pal Joey" will be there. That would be a major disappointment. I am a subscriber to Arena and I hated the revival at Encore. It was dreadful.

Probably Arena or La Jolla.

So, which regional theatre is doing it?

I love this kid and he is right about everything wrong with this production.

Why I Hated "The Last Five Years"

Andrew Scott please. He was beyond brilliant in "Present Laughter".

Run Time: From start to finish, it was 85 minutes. Started 8:07 and ended at 9:22.

Sounds like 75 minutes…which I think would make it the shortest show currently on Broadway.

"I think "Oh Mary" is around that, depending on who is playing Mary. If I remember correctly, Ms Gilpin's performance ran almost 10 minutes shorter than when Cole did it.

Seriously, why can't this board get an adequate search function?

This really makes me happy. I would see Jean Smart do anything, she is beyond brilliant

It was the fastest 2 hours I have sat through (I saw it in London). It's utterly brilliant and hope Ms Snooks wins the Tony for her marathon performance.

No, What you said was just plain offensive.
