Bombshell Benefit Concert May 20
2020, 09:12:20 PM
I was looking up some of the concert cast, and I learned that Michael McArthur died earlier this month. Did the folks here know that? Sorry-- I searched, but didn't see anything.

Girl From The North Country - Broadway Previews Feb 11
2020, 09:30:01 PM
I saw the first preview. The story line was horribly crafted, and I didn't care about of the characters-- especially either of the sons. The singing was somewhat delightful, but this show is on my top 10 worst list. It was so bad that a man behind me said out loud in the second act, "Does anybody even know what the hell is going on right now? What is the point?"

As a performer, I can tell you that this can definitely happen. I've been in situations when I can only hear one or two instruments, and if y

Adorable. Does it show her buying a pack? No? Then shhhhh.........."
I'll be more specific then-- it is illegal to SMOKE under the age of 21 in NYC and will be in the entire state in November.

I rushed the same day-- I got there at 12:15 and I got a ticket. I was in the last row on the end in the orchestra. Was a fine seat :)

Independence Day performances May 20
2019, 07:38:37 PM
Hi there-- If I may be lazy for a moment. Does anybody know if there are any Broadway performances on the evening of July 4? I've searched the web and can only find schedules from previous years. Outside of looking up the schedule of every show, does anybody have a different suggestion or information they are willing to share? Thank you in advance.

Saddest songs in musical theater Jun 27
2018, 04:41:58 PM
You can really see the diversity in age groups in response to this thread. The 'kids' are all about the current shows while us old queens bring up the classics. I will say that the quintessential sad song for me is 'How Could I Ever Know' from The Secret Garden.

Anyone know the REAL reason Hello Dolly refused to perform at the TONYS? May 24

RicardoMagon said: "UncleCharlie said: "RicardoMagon said: "Alas, Scott Rudin is rich, so I don'thave sympathy for the shows he produced that didn't make him as rich as Dolly did."
Probably in the same way that really poor people who work two jobs just to make sure their kids don't go to bed hungry don't have sympathy for you not getting to see Bette in Hello Dolly.

Does anybody think that TBV would do a medley of Welcome to Nowhere/Omar Shariff/Concert? I know it would be quick, but it would touch on the flavor of the show.

HEAD OVER HEELS at the Curran - Reviews Apr 16
2018, 01:02:11 AM
I saw it last night, and I was underwhelmed. The opening is fantastic-- it gives an impression that we're going to be taken on a ride through the Go-Gos song catalog, but then it just kind of fizzles out. Individually, I think that the performances were nice, but given how new everything is, there was little chemistry within the cast. I also think that this needs to be a one act-- there was a lot of fluff, and I hope that they rethink making it a two act show by the time it gets to Broadw

I have nothing profound to say, but I will echo what all of you have already said. Too soon, too young, so much talent, and I am very sad about this loss. She was an amazing performer, and I will miss her.

Please. I am 45 years old, and there were NO gay people on TV save for Jody from Soap when I was growing up, and I am doing just fine.

I will be in the city celebrating my birthday over opening for this show. I've never experienced a Broadway opening before, and I would love to be able to attend with my husband. Any tips on getting tickets as they are not for sale?

Dear Evan Hansen Stage Door Jul 3
2017, 09:10:38 PM
I don't stage door anymore. First of all, I go to see the performance which is what really fills my soul. If I feel so compelled to do so, I tweet something about the show, actor that I specifically enjoyed. Not only does it make me happy to be able to talk about the show, but if people read the actor's or show's feed, it's a plus that say positive things. And secondly, I am 45 years old. I'm ready for bed after an evening show! Lol! And back on topic-- if I wer
