MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews
 Nov 23 2024, 04:17:53 PM

I saw this almost a month ago, and forgot to post --- but just wanted to add to the chorus of voices who really, really loved this. Thought it was super special, and also thought the music was just incredible --- one of the most intelligent, well-constructed, beautiful scores to hit Broadway in a while. 

It's one of those shows I would take anyone to. 


FLOYD COLLINS to be given Broadway revival by Lincoln Center
 Nov 21 2024, 02:42:41 PM

I'm a Floyd Collins fanatic (my favorite show), and as much as I've been lukewarm on Jordan in the past, I'm genuinely excited for this. I think that Guettel is very good at choosing his casts, and doesn't feel pressured to cash-grab (Wine and Roses is a great example... no effort was made to make money whatsoever). I weirdly cannot wait. 

Kudisch and Molaskey are also excellent choices. 

One question, if anybody knows --- I

Any updates / murmurs on casting for this? I know it's a while away.

Some of the most fun I've ever had in a theater. The play makes no sense. Mia is sensational. The play makes no sense. Patti is Patti. I've never laughed so much (even at the serious parts). How does Mia turn in such a wonderful performance among all this? What a great night out.

Well... called the number of the Booth theater, which is really just Telecharge, and then pressed the button for customer service.

Hi all! 

A question that maybe somebody here knows more about than I --- I'm going into the city for a birthday trip on Friday. We had gotten tickets to THE ROOMMATE, mostly to see Mia. Do you all think there's any chance she'll be back by then? Do you know when it will become clear? 

If not, is it possible to call and get a refund or an exchange? I feel bad, especially with the wonderful Marsha Mason, but Mia was really the reason for the trip. <

These songs are really quite wonderful. I had no expectations for this, at all... now I'm suddenly... excited? 

 


Ahrens-Flaherty KNOXVILLE musical world premiere set for Asolo Rep
 Sep 1 2024, 10:53:37 AM

I wasn't hugely impressed with the album on first listen --- liked it, didn't love it --- but over the past year-and-change I've listened again and again and developed an immense fondness for it. I think it's just a gem of a score. 


New Spotify playlist: Sondheim's
 Aug 29 2024, 10:19:14 PM

This is a great list, and thanks for making the playlist, Peter2! The concept was thought up by the great Mark Eden Horowitz of the Library of Congress, as you've said above, who wanted to do a concert at the Library of songs Sondheim had written for his 70th birthday.

According to Horowitz, Sondheim was perfectly fine with the idea of (another) concert celebrating his work (what a snooze, more people singing your praises and your music!), but when Horowitz

I saw this at Williamstown. I thought it was a hoot. I thought that it needed a little bit of oomph which I think Patti and Mia can deliver in spades. Looking forward to this.
