Profile for Dirty Chestnut

Really?  Thats not what Andrew Rannells said.  He thought it would have a cult following, but didn’t think it would run very long.  I think that was the feeling a lot of people had just because of its niche subject matter. 

The more famous and more deserving actor won in those cases.  In this case, Alyse would have been the underdog but the deserving one, and he would have made sure bigger names didn’t overshadow the award worthy performance. 

That’s funny, I actually was going to mention Scott rudin.  He pulled through for Nikki m James and the only reason Mormon didn’t get leading actor was because Rannells and Gad split the vote. Rudin would have run rough shot over Audra and Nicole to get Alyse over the finish line.  

With One Look was written for The Little Mermaid. It was supposed to be Ariel’s I want song.  Disney ended up going with Menken instead. 

People said the same about Book of Mormon. And that thing has been running strong for 14 years now. 

Redwood off to a strong start!  Gypsy is going strong, Sunset Blvd. losing steam. 

Lloyd Webber starts the song with Sondheim's "Stay With Me" from Into the Woods, and ends it with Hamlisch's "What I Did for Love" from A Chorus Line.  Hmmm

I truly don’t understand the raves this musical has gotten.  I kept waiting for the action to start, but nothing ever happened. 

Old Friends also has a Sunday evening performance March 30 at 7pm.  Harry Potter has a number of Sunday evening performances throughout March. 

Where was security to haul them out??  It looks like they were politely asked to leave the stage lol

I really hope the critics have a more discerning view of this musical when it comes to Broadway. I personally thought it was mostly a waste of space downtown. 

What’s next for Studio 54?

I sat in the rear side orchestra for Swept Away and thought it was a pretty good seat.  It’s nice and high up.  Dead outlaw is such a small musical, I’d recommend the orchestra rather than the balcony. 

I would love to see Rosie O’Donnell or Whoopi Goldberg host again.  Kristin Chenoweth and Alan again. I agree, I want someone snarky. 

Buena Vista Social Club has a Sunday evening performance March 23 at 7:30.  Titanique, Little shop, Wicked, Chicago have Sunday evening performances. Love Life at City Center has a Sunday evening performance on March 30 at 7pm. 

I’d also see Gypsy and Maybe Happy Ending.  Also, Operation Mincemeat, Buena Vista Social Club, and Floyd Collins

I like the idea of Jinx hosting, but maybe RuPaul could do it??  He'd be fab

She's performing on Colbert tonight.  Given this new round of press, they can barely make it to July, and you think someone else coming in is gonna make money?  Sunset was the big launch right out of the gate, Gypsy and Audra are playing this like Tom Brady.  Behind the entire game until you pull ahead in the last 30 seconds.  I fully expect Audra to be everywhere during Tony time, and will probably extend til Labor Day.
