On 48th between 6th and 7th (if I remember correctly), there are about 10 music shops. A few varieties of Sam Ash, most with sheet music, as well as a few other stores whose names are escaping me...

I know lots of folks who were offended by The Pillowman. I think part of the problem was that when they performed it locally, they advertised it as a straight comedy, so people were expecting something light.

re: Worst Broadway Audience Ever?

I was at 'an oak tree' when someone's cell phone rang...and kept ringing. Tim Crouch (actor, writer, director of the play) stopped, stared right at the woman and said "It's okay, we can wait". I've never seen anybody quite so mortified before in my life - it was fantastic.

Not really in relation to the show, but this song perfectly describes all of the artists I know (as well as myself). Once the creative process starts, there's an inability to stop the process that results in either complete isolation or a distance between you and the rest of the world. The artist knows that they are separating themselves, but simply can't help it - the drive to create is too great.
Within the show, I think anything I could have said about it has already been said...

The Wild Party Gala is on May 8. Tickets for dinner and the gala are $250, Gala only are $125
As for the L5Y, saw it last night and I'm happy to report that the theater was basically full. Previously reported glitches had already been worked out, and it was quite enjoyable. If you have the time to check it out, it's certainly worth it.

Hmm, as much as I hate cell phones going off in the theater (and as excited as I was when an actor stopped an off-broadway show to chastise someone), there are people who legitimately need to have a cell phone (for example: doctors).
Now, I'd be all for setting up some sort of system where a ringing phone outside the theater sets off one of those pager-type devices they use in restaurants. This way, no ringing cell phones (or conversations), but those who need to be connected could b

re: Is WEST SIDE STORY overlooked as a Sondheim musical?
Feb 17
2007, 07:12:58 AM
I think for the non theater-going public, West Side Story is actually one of the only musicals they associate with Sondheim. Possibly because of the movie (a lot of schools will show at least part of the movie when they teach Romeo and Juliet).

I thought it was fantastic. I had posted a review here: http://broadwayworld.com/board/read1message.cfm?thread=918610&id=2669397
As an update, it's been a few weeks and I'm still as fascinated by it as I was right after I saw it.

Thoughts on "an oak tree"
Dec 5
2006, 06:18:29 PM
Since nobody else has posted any comments, I’ll give it a go.
I went on Dec. 1 (Michael Cerveris played the roll of Father). I’m going to keep my thoughts as general as possible though, because of the nature of the play. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about Michael Cerveris’s performance.
The experience itself was completely different than any other show I’ve seen. This is not a performance that’s meant to be watched idly. It’s a very intense experien
