Profile for inception

I wish Mr. Blackwell was still alive and that it was still OK for elderly gay men to say outrageously cruel things about creatures born with ovaries.

I follow Ms Stalter's hairdresser on insta and every time he posts pics of her I throw up a little bit in my mouth.

Tickets for the Las Vegas run of the tour go on sale today.  The pre-sale code hasn't dropped just yet.

Still curious if something new will play  Lincoln Center in the Fall?  

I think I would rather go back in time and see the 1957 production in Connecticut starring Katherine Hepburn.  Can I do that for $196???

The Act, not The Rink.

Thanks for posting that video this morning BrodyFosse.  

Another Kander & Ebb show for Liza that I enjoy the cast album for is "The Act."  I wonder if it could ever be done with someone else?  I know from what I've read online about it that it didn't wholly work at the time as a show, even though it gave her another Tony.

She looks stunning in brown leatherette.  Probably the best costume in the whole show.

But it is a small role.

Kelli O'Hara would make a fine Mother Abbess.

Nichelle Lewis perhaps could make a fine Maria.  Or maybe Maleah Joi Moon.

The character needs a youthful energy.  She becomes more of an older sister to Liesl.  Not her grandmother.

Anyways, there's no way on heck I'm willingly  sitting through another Sound of Music anytime soon, no matter the cast.

 

If that's true they probably can just re-use most of Ragtime's (none) set.  A few cardboard cutouts of waves along the front edge of the stage to suggest they're out on the water.  Give me the Tony for scenic design now. 

I would have been in my early 20's when the tour came through from the last revival, but I didn't care back then.

Feels like a hard sell in this economy.  Not taking any artistic merits into consideration, looking at the grosses for new shows like Lost Boys & Schmigadoon - they seem to be having a hard time breaking out. Big shows that are just over a year old like DBH & BVSC seem to be treading water. I think something like NtN would do better at a non-profit. What's the rumor for what's next at Lincoln Center?

Haven't seen Rocky Horror, but it didn't seem to get much better  reviews than Chess.  Even here people complained about things.  So wondering what moved the scales for it over Chess? Maybe more fun even if flawed?

Surprised Uranowitz was nominated in the Lead category.  I would have thought they might have tried to get him in supporting so he wouldn't be competing against Henry.

I should have scrolled down to see someone else had the same joke

Sorry, nope... just Sam Smith at the Met Gala

 

Is no one interested in In the Heights for the Fall?  Or was it previously anounced?

Just saw info on the website of the Venetian Resort & Casino in Las Vegas that they will be hosting the Mrs. Doubtfire tour for a week at the end of July, and the Book of Mormon tour for 2 weeks in November.  They look to be the standard shows, and not any sort of reduced versions for Las Vegas.

Any prospects for this to transfer?  Erivo seems to have only two concert dates so far for this coming August - one at Tanglewood & then allllllll the way across the continent a week later here in Vancouver.  I paid an arm & a leg last week for a decent seat. But maybe she would have preferred a few pints of blood?

He seems to suggest it will be Richard Jones in his stories today.  Seems like he mostly works in London nowadays.
