Profile for Jay Lerner-Z

Everytime I see Lady Gaga in a movie, I think “She’s no Cher"…

Why would that stop him? A lot of creative types, actors included, are introverts. Barbra Streisand considers herself one. Being somebody else is what makes it easy for them.

I can see Steve Coogan as Max... or no?

Anyway, he'll be busy doing Dr. Strangelove at the time.

Who else?

Joe Lycett would be a good Leo.

If Mamma Mia and Rocky count, well then so does "We Are The Champions" from We Will Rock You.

"Another National Anthem"

Has all hell broken loose yet?

Advise your daughter to skip Mamma Mia, and see ABBA Voyage instead.

Since when is Herbie attractive?

He’s just an average Joe, whose loyalty and hard work make him a keeper - not his hot body.

That would make Maria just thirteen years old when Liesl was born.

If times, and the role of women, have changed… why would audiences still insist on Maria being a young ingenue?

I personally would have no issue with a 50 year old playing the part. I’d actually welcome a version closer to the real-life events. Changing Maria into a pretty young thing in need of rescuing by a handsome Captain was arguably problematic by today’s standards.

What does she even see in him?

Can we count movies?

Rob Marshall’s Nine.

Disappointment or enjoyment aren’t always based on quality. Most of the ticket-buyers for Plaza Suite went purely to see a celebrity couple live and in person. No doubt they got a standing ovation every performance.

Paul Simon’s "The Capeman".

”Viva Forever", a Mamma Mia for the  Spice Girls, but with added Jennifer Saunders. It was probably never going to be “good", but it did come with some fanfare.

There was a show on the same topic at last year’s Melbourne Fringe. “An Evening with JK", performed and written by trans activist Anna Piper Scott. That seemed better.

Are women allowed to go sleeveless, JSquared? If so, men can too.

Equality for all.

“Balance"? Between right and wrong?

Okay.

The last two Best Musicals closing within a year only makes their Tonys MORE meaningful. The awards show that these shows did not slip by unnoticed and unappreciated.

If the Tonys were only ever a promotional tool to sell tickets, well then they never had much meaning anyway.

 

 

 

 

Recently, one lady near the aisle refused to get up for me told me to go around to the other side and make my way to my seat from there. She expected me to disturb at least 20 others instead of her even though my seat was only two away from hers.

People suck, wherever there is people there is stress.

Plaza Suite.

After two years, SJP and Matthew Broderick could have just moved onto other things, but they brought it back out of love for the project.
