mamaleh said: "I'm reading it, too. I'm familiar with much of what's in it, but it's also informative: for instance, I'd never heard the term "the noise." Viertel has a felicitous writing stye, which makes for a breezy, fun read.
When I first spied the cover, I immediately thought of the Walter Kerr marquee. Not a coincidence, I think."

Her size won't be a problem. They can pad her.

Broadway in Las Vegas Apr 22
2016, 11:14:13 AM
Dallas Theatre Fan said: "I remember in the mid-2000's many shows like Hairspray, Avenue Q, Spamalot, Mamma Mia, and The Phantom of the Opera opened ninety minute intermission less shows in Las Vegas. Most of them failed miserably and closed up quickly. I was wondering why producers felt the need to open in Las Vegas and if any of you actually liked the shows you saw.

Did not think TLK score was great. Like the show, it was overrated. Jungle wins on score alone plus the show sounds more appealing.

Conducting without sheet music Apr 12
2016, 04:25:40 PM
nolanativeny said: "I heard of a ballet orchestra conductor who hasn't conducted the Nutcracker with the score in something like 20 years since he's done it so many times. I once saw a performance of Stravinsky's Firebird suite where I got to sit in a balcony behind the stage and watch the conductor, a fiery Taiwanese woman, conduct without the score. One of the most exciting concerts I have ever attended.

I was surprised they used a real blade too - and in a high school production, yet. Even if you're super careful, that's a naked razor blade you've got there. Just get a prop and then you don't have to worry about it.
