Embarassing that I have lived in NY as an actor for a couple of years and never saw a Shakespeare in the Park production. I really want to see Two Gents since I love the musical. When should I line up at the Delacourte or at The Public? Someone please give me as many details as you can...Thanks!!

Merrily is an amazing show!! I did a production of the revised script about 8 years ago and fell in love. I too have the OCR and the York revival and love both. The whole argument about the audience not getting the "time" concept of how the BRILLIANT book is written is just pure ignorance. It is very easy to understand. I do agree that the original just went into the whole thing with a bad concept and was not very attractive that way. I think if a very innovative director and team came in

The '54 version is the BEST! It is the orginal Marc Blitzstein translation. I was in a produciton of it a few years ago.. Amazing show! Hopefully the new Wallace Shawn translation coming to Studio 54 in the Spring will be halfway decent. The '94 Donmar Warehouse prod has good instrumentals with a large orchestra but the translated lyrics are horrible I think.

A communit college production of Cabaret that hurt me so much because it was that bad. Our Emcee was so terrible, he did the standard mime make-up which looked horrible and then he did a flying dutchman cheerleading move in the middle of an introduction for Sally Bowles. Oh and one of the performances all the light went out on stage and just randomly our Light Board Op hit the board with a fist and they all went back on... BAD!!

I usually just read the message boards to see what others have to say about random theatrical topics..but I was able to read MJL's essay and Marc Shaiman's response. I have to say that I am a huge fan of MJL's "The Wild Party" and "Hairspray" respectively but I really don't think that Mr. La Chiusa should be expressing his clearly passionate views on the topic of the American Musical if he wishes to continue getting his works produced luckily on the Great White Way. I know that in the stage ar
