Midler doesn't think she has 8 shows a week in her... Jul 2

I think the likelihood of Lansbury doing DOLLY! is greater than Midler OR LuPone at this point.

Like Jordan, I just finished listening to ten tracks from "The Best of Rabbi Schlomo Carlebach," and all them sounded either like a prayer or a funeral dirge -- nothing the least bit theatrical or suitable (as far as I could tell) as a character song. I think it might be easier for the actors to scale Mount Everest than having to turn this show into something with general appeal.

I've really fallen in love with Krysta's voice in recent months.
I hope it turns out well for everyone involved, but it does seem more like an OB show to me.

SPIDER-MAN will still be trying to recoup long after many of us have turned to dust.

Did THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY open last night as scheduled? Jun 21

"Williams at his pill-popping, trying-to-be-Beckett worst."
Yup, unfortunately. This one really is the worst of his worst. He wrote (churned out) so many poor plays in the 70s, but this one is in a class by itself.

Thanks, cardamon. Wish I could say I'm surprised, but as I posted in another thread, OUT CRY (as it was titled in 1973) was one of the very worst plays I've ever seen.
I have no idea what the producers were thinking when they chose to back this production.

The plane ticket might be cheaper than the Broadway ticket!

I remember earlier in the week when the final preview performances were cancelled due to Amanda Plummer's injury, the producers stated the production would open Wednesday, June 19, as originally planned. I'm not finding any reviews. Does anyone know if the show did indeed, open last night?
Any pertinent info appreciated.

So, is Always...Patsy Cline happening or no? Jun 18
2013, 09:12:38 PM
I agree. Seems to me that Crystal Bowersox in ALWAYS... PATSY CLINE would be much more successful on tour than parked in NYC, hoping for tourist trade.

TWO-CHARACTER PLAY Previews Jun 17

I can empathize with Ms. Plummer. When I saw OUT CRY in 1973 (as the play was called then) I left the Lyceum with a brain injury and have never fully recovered.

Brilliant casting!
They should advertise:

I'M GLAD MATILDA LOST LAST NIGHT! Jun 10

I think history will prove that MATILDA is the far better musical, in terms of book, music and lyrics.
