City Centers 24-25: Ragtime, Urinetown, LaChiusa's Wild Party, Love Life

From what I've heard it sounded like Jack Viertel had a personal vendetta against Me and Juliet?

When I asked him, he didn't seem that enthusiastic. Ted Chapin from R&H would just say "We'll see."
"

I was at a Zoom discussion with Chapin where he full out said that it was because Viertel was against doing Me and Juliet (he did point out that the original reviews felt the star of the show was Jo Mielziner's complex, mechanized scenery--groundbreaking in many ways--which of course couldn't be replicated for Encores. But that score needs a better recording.)

So considering the director do we imagine this Wonderful Town will be... not traditional? I mean we already have the crazy Toulon opera version on DVD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7dOTbi5aU&t=1s

 

And yet didn't the Mufti just use a ladder and very little else? I didn't get to see it.

Again? Meanwhile, I've been waiting too long to see another show from that same year, ME & JULIET. Ugh!

Yes. 

A re-magined THREEPENNY OPERA is in a few weeks.

This Kern gem is being done this weekend at Lenfest Center for the Arts. Admission is free. Just saw the matinee and it was excellent. 


BCEFA flea market 2024 collectors unite

It was mobbed today. Left after about a half an hour. And some of the prices on some of the merch was insane. 


Erivo, Graham, Gotay, and more to lead A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC IN CONCERT
 Jun 29 2024, 04:04:01 PM

Rushed this afternoon and got a 2nd row orchestra seat for $50. Couple next to me paid $175 a piece. It was very good but under rehearsed. Erivo stopped midway Miller's Son and had to get back on track.  Overall though, it was a nice afternoon. 


Titanic at City Center
 Jun 22 2024, 05:55:06 PM

Just saw the matinee. This was gorgeously sung. At first I was disappointed this was chosen,  but glad I saw it. My first Encores title which I saw the original production. I was curious if any ticket buyers were expecting a musical version of the 1997 film. 


Musicals that will never be revived on Broadway

LADY IN THE DARK, which happens to be one of my favorite shows, is dated and would be so expensive to produce with a full orchestra. 


NY City Center Encores 2024 season: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Sutton Foster (adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino), JELLY'S LAST JAM, and TITANIC
 May 13 2024, 07:54:02 PM

The Kurt Weill Foundation has already posted online of two upcoming productions of LOVE LIFE. Opera North in Leeds is doing it in January and plans to record the show.  The other may be the Encores! rescheduling. More curious to know what other 2 titles are being considered. Anyone know the inside scoop?

 


FLAHOOLEY Revival?
 May 2 2024, 04:42:45 PM

Could it be one of those one night only benefit events? I saw it when the Harlem Rep did it, but the genie elements were removed. Still, it has a beautiful score. Encores! should have done it in its heyday.


Canceled Productions That Eventually Happened?
 Apr 25 2024, 01:36:02 PM

Still waiting for Encores LOVE LIFE. Opera North is doing it next year, and it will FINALLY be recorded with the cooperation of the KWF. Will an Encores production soon follow?


Shows that were considerably changed after their Broadway run

FLORA THE RED MENACE was rewritten in the 80s and it's now licensed as such. For those interested in seeing it, Forager Theater in Long Island City, Queens,  NY, is doing the show the first weekend in May.


Seeing a show when you're not feeling great
 Apr 21 2024, 04:01:51 PM

Only once as I rarely get sick. I went to see Village Light Opera do HOW TO SUCCEED.. many years ago. I didn't leave as I assumed it didn't get done that much.  But I did go see it again when the Goodspeed did it a few years later.

Saw her and Ron in ASPECTS OF LOVE when it came to Pittsburgh. Both were sensational. 


Musical or Play for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman
 Feb 12 2024, 10:02:46 PM

Reynolds as Rodney Hatch,  Jackman as Whitelaw Savory in ONE TOUCH OF VENUS. With Laura Osnes as Venus.

Love that cast album of ME AND JULIET.

I was there by 1 and the only person rushing on Sunday.  I had only been there once before to see ALLEGRO and I got in via rush too.  There were about 4 empty seats after the show started.  It was also the first matinee.

Rushed for the matinee today. $30.  The production is excellent.  Lester steals the show as Miss Marmelstein.   Go see it!

2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
"

Thanks, I was afraid it was a 90 minute, intermission less affair.
