SUNSET BLVD. Reviews
 Oct 27 2024, 02:23:12 PM

While I appreciated this production for the edgy more hip angle, it’s difficult to consider this the ultimate Sunset Blvd stage production. For me, scenery and costumes are a huge part of story telling. Gimmicks with cameras are interesting but if I was not already familiar with this story, I think I would have been a little lost. Why is Norma covered with blood at the end? Wasn’t she just taken away by authorities? The ensemble was a generic group trying to play different pa


Matthew Broderick in BABBITT at the LA Jolla Playhouse
 Oct 20 2024, 09:52:07 PM

I have an issue with people who say the same thing about Broderick but continue to go see his plays. If you don’t like him as a performer, why do you keep going to see him? I did not see a similar performance in this to other plays I’ve seen him in. just my opinion.

I remember standing ovations during the last revival with Glenn Close. Those are powerful moments that the audience is moved by. Looking forward to seeing this production next week!

I saw the play and didn’t think it was boring at all. A unique way to tell a story from a very strong cast. Could have been a few minutes shorter but overall I enjoyed it.

farewell Kimmy!

Couldn’t attend the final show, sadly, but went last week for the 5th time. My 4th time, Victoria was out so I just needed to see her one final time. She never missed a beat and it was her best one yet. Thanks to Victoria, Justin, Bonnie and the entire cast and musicians for such a tight and entertaining adventure.  I know they are touring in September and wish the participants the best. 


Chita Rivera has died

Chita was one of the reasons I became a lifelong theater fan. She, Gwen Verdon and Jerry Orbach in the original cast of Chicago was my first Broadway show when I was a teenager. I’ll never forget going out and buying the OBC album, yes I said album, and playing it over and over. I tried to see everything she appeared in over the years. What a talent! Thank you Chita and rest in peace, 


I posted a very negative review of Kimberly Akimbo on YouTube and got a threat to delete it.

That’s unfair but I’m not sure why you felt the need to review a show that has already won the Tony for best musical? Not to mention that it probably will close in the next month or two. No one likes every show and if you didn’t care for it doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t like it. 


Some Like it Hot to Close on December 30

I’ve seen this show twice with balcony seats from TDF and each time I thought the performances were solid, the music great, the dancing incredible all in a big house. I then saw Kimberly Akimbo, no dancing, decent songs, great performances all in a small house. I immediately felt connected something I didn’t feel at SLIH. Maybe that’s what’s missing?


Public Theater Lays Off 19% of Staff

I work in the nonprofit sector where donors continually comment in the salaries of executive officers. It’s up to the board of directors to establish the pay range and if they are financially qualified, will base the salary using revenue and expenses in mind. A successful executive who runs an organization is not going to work for peanuts as they can make a higher salary elsewhere. You get what you pay for. With a huge staff, that’s the place where cuts will take place just like i

I’ve seen SLIH twice with TDF  balcony seats and they’ve been good. The show is so big that you quickly forget you’re sitting in the balcony.

Ordered 2 for a Beautiful Noise for Mon 7/3. I couldn’t believe the full prices they are charging and I figured i would take my chances with a $59 ticket seat over paying full price for a bad seat. I’m figuring they may be partial view tickets. Anyone know if they are really bad? 


Anyone seeing a first performance post-Tony win tonight?

I believe the day before the Tony awards, Betsy may have gone on for Bonnie for both Sat performances. I read somewhere that Bonnie was fighting off a cold and couldn’t hit the notes but it might have been the only time she’s been out. 


Side note: Has Betsy ever gone on for Bonnie? Also, I've seen on IG that Emily Koch (married to Jim Hogan) is a Pattie/Debra u/s) ...wonder why she isn't listed on the website.

You can’t go by 1 song. KA has 3 songs that would have sold this show instantly. One had profanity in it, so it would have been censored. One that the e

How you can think Goodnight Oscar and Prima Facie are "schlock," but Some Like it Hot is not BOGGLES my mind. Sure it's funny, but they'r


Tony Awards aftermath

I checked TDF before the major awards were announced last night and KA and Shucked, both on TDF regularly, were already gone. KA has been a marketing challenge from the start and it should now be set for the remainder of the summer. I think many people don’t realize that they have been open since the fall and while hanging on, they haven’t flourished financially. Hopefully these we’ll deserved awards will achieve that. Not sure that Shucked was helped much with that Tony prt

I thought it was just me but he didn’t seem right.
