THE LOST BOYS Reviews

After seeing all four new musicals I think the Tony award will go to Schmigadoon. The Lost Boys was more ambitious but the train went off the rails in act 2. Schmigadoon will also have a somewhat successful tour. I did not think it was all that great and it was a carbon copy of the tv show, but at the end of the day someone will walk home with the Tony award.

This is completely off the subject, but has anyone ever tried to make a musical out of Lord of the Flies?


CHESS Sets June 21 Closing

I saw the show last night and felt it was misdirected thus I was not engaged in the story. The director seemed more interested in style (which was lacking) rather than substance. I guess I should’ve been suspicious when I walked in and an usher whom I knew,  said “well at least the singing is good.”

Lea seemed miscast and Aaron looked like he was outside his character peering in. I also had a hard time understanding lyrics in ensemble numbers when the orches


THE LOST BOYS Reviews

I saw the show last night and agree with the general consensus. It gets high marks for its ambition, but I did feel like the second act jumped the shark and it all became rather silly and predictable. The show was an example of how you can pull out all the bells and whistles, but if the story is not written in an effective way that strikes an emotional chord, the results will ultimately be mediocre. I will say that Shoshana Bean was quite good and I loved her  playground number, even tho


Caps in theaters

Caps are worn to cover all sorts of things beyond baldness, skin cancer removal on the scalp, cysts and seborrheic dermatitis to name a few. I have not found that caps restrict my view. I say the play is the thing so unless a woman is sitting in front of you wearing a giant hat with a birds nest, I say just enjoy the show.

 

 

 

 

 


FALLEN ANGELS Previews

I saw the production over the weekend and found it quite entertaining and I laughed out loud several times at the physical comedy. I was very impressed with Kelli O’Hara for I had no idea she had such sharp comedic skills. The set and costumes were top notch. I adore Rose Byrne but I had a difficult time understanding her. And as her character became more intoxicated she sounded like she was chewing on marbles. She desperately needed a stage acting coach to work with her on he


TITANÍQUE Reviews

I saw the show last week and by all accounts I thought I had gotten a pretty good seat. It was in the mezzanine, row F house left. But I discovered, after the play began, that my sight lines were hampered by all of the staging that was done on the lip of the stage. I could barely see the actors. I finally had to put my seat up and sit on the apron. And then to top it off the balance between the Orchestra (too loud) and the singers was off, so I couldn’t hear a lot of the lyric


TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) Reviews

I saw the show last night. The two leads were charming especially Sam Tutty, but I found the book to be kind of so so. I wasn’t emotionally connected to it in any way.  And the music with the exception of the opening number was not very memorable. I did not mind the staging so much although at times it was a bit distracting.The continuous motion propelled the story forward however. I think like Titanique, the show was a little slight for Broadway and I think I would&rsquo


Sally Field play in the Fall

John Adams said: "UWS10023 said: "Sally is very good in her new Netflix movie. Not many people could have made that work. Highly recommended for sentimental folks. She handles a monologue beautifully."

I enjoyed her in "Remarkably Bright Creatures", too. I thought Lewis Pullman did a great job in his, role, as well.

She's been making the rounds of talk shows to promote the movie's debut on Netflix. I especially liked her banter with Stephen Colbert (here and here).
"

Yes, Lewis was quite charming.Lewis reminded me so much of his father in While You Were Sleeping and when he was in profile, he looked just like his dad. He and Sally had very good chemistry.


Timothee Chalamet Oh Mary

You know, maybe I will go see her. It seems the role would be right up her alley. I did see it with the original cast. Does anyone know if Cheyenne Jackson will be playing opposite of her or who the actor will be? I booked the ticket for Timothée Chalamet‘s supposed opening night, which is June 22. I did buy ticket protection through TX which  I don’t normally do. They basically give you a credit for a year, which I wouldn’t have a problem using since I live

OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New)

I am very confused. Various press articles stated that Timothee Chalamet was staring in the title role starting June 22. I bought a ticket to see him. These Press articles ran all over the United States. What is going on?
"

Look at the date the article came out -- April 1...

Not to mention the last paragraph, wishing everyone a Happy April's Fool Day.
"

Oh lord! I feel really stupid. I could not figure out why there hadn’t been more follow up press and why Maya Rudolph kept extending. Perhaps next time I should consider reading all of the fine print.


Timothee Chalamet Oh Mary

https://www.theatermania.com/news/exclusive-timothee-chalamet-to-make-broadway-debut-in-oh-mary_1831023/
 

I was just informed that the article was an April Fools joke. So as Andrew Burnap sang in Camelot,  WHAT A FOOL I WAS,  especially since I bought a ticket for his opening night. The funny thing is that I had friends texting me from all over the United States asking me if I was going to see him in the production, so it must’ve gotten picked up in various regional newspapers.

Great Hallelujah Baby, but why Charlie Brown? wish Darling of the Day?

Maybe I stand alone in this, but I feel like You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown is kind of a lame choice and not a very exciting one unless they could get all the actors from the 1999 revival to come back and do it. That might get some press.


2026 Tony Nomination Predictions

Ptero2 said: "I will eat a brick if F. Murray Abraham gets nominated tomorrow."

I think you can have a regular breakfast after the highly anticipated announcements. I more or less was making an analogy about how weak the musical theater season was especially when it came to new musicals. So some people that will be nominated in the morning would not be nominated in a stronger season. 

 


Met Gala

I am happy to see that Sarah Paulson has not lost her sense of humor. I never thought Connor Storrie could look so matronly. I love Naomi Osaka’s outfit although the reveal is a little clunky. I am not getting bad bunny’s choice of attire, but I’m sure it will come to me later this evening.. Hudson Williams looks hot and Madonna gets the most creative award for her mournful nod to the Strait of Hormuz.


2026 Tony Nomination Predictions

I think it’s quite possible Laurie Metcalf and Joe Mantello could be nominated twice tomorrow. I know there wasn’t a lot of love for Queen of Versailles, but I think that Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham gave comparable performances to many names that have been mentioned for those particular categories. Kristin basically carried the show on her back and Abraham playing the selfish and mentally abusive husband gave a three dimensional performance. I’m not fee


SCHMIGADOON! Reviews

I was so looking forward to seeing it for I loved the Apple television series, but the production did not live up to my expectations. I didn’t expect it to be a carbon copy of the TV show. I thought there would be more original ideas and fresh material. Most of the actors in the television series were far superior to the stage actors. The main couple in the stage production had no charisma and came across as jaded. I had no reason to root for them. There is a lot of chatter about the fe


2026 Tony Nomination Predictions

Best featured actor in a play will be a fight to the death between Christopher, Alden and Ruben. I would not nominate Sarah Chase for Best Actress in a musical. While looking for love in the enchanted village I was hoping she would stumble upon a character and forgo setting up punch lines. Lacking chemistry with her male partner, she looked bored to death when she wasn’t speaking and lacked a romantic and hopeful quality. 

 The best musical category is weak this ye


2026 Outer Critics Circle Awards

I can’t imagine anyone beating out Christopher Abbott come Tony season for best supporting actor.  it was a stunning performance.
