SUNSET BLVD. Reviews Nov 12

I saw the show last Wednesday (my third time) and saw Diego Rodriguez as Joe Gillis. First let me say, I enjoy his energy as Artie very much and feel he is well cast. His work as Gillis is solid. He was obviously well rehearsed, even this early in the run. He played off of Scherzinger very well and had great chemistry with Betty (also an understudy).
Diego actually struck me as a young Tom Cruise type. There was a boyish innocence displayed. Not equipped to handle

Adam Lambert -Cabaret Sep 16

Lambert is knocking it out of the park and it’s only his first performance. Truly a great actor. He gives us fantastic vocals but doesn’t blow you away for the sake of doing so. Very nuanced, both funny and serious. That man is a great stage talent.
Cravalho knocked it out as well. I much preferred her take on the role prior to seeing it last spring. Just my opinion. I can’t say I agree with all the directorial choices for this production… but

Jodi Benson in Hello, Dolly! Orlando, FL Jun 22
2024, 12:35:36 PM
Caught the first performance of Dolly! Last night at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando. What a wonderful performance. Albeit, her first performance, Jodi Benson is a superb Dolly Levi. Having seen the last five ladies from Bette onward (including the tour) Jodi Benson should have been passed the torch in the last revival, if not on the road. Her characterization was truly fleshed out. She found laughs in moments where I hadn’t expected and displayed a wonderful determination throughout. Her PARADE was sublime. Her legacy is her characterization of Ariel for which she still is representing in her work, though her voice is as mature, nuanced and powerful. That woman can SING.
I did not catch Gypsy on Ft. Meyers last season and doubt I’ll get to Rodchester for the next production. It’s quite clear from last evening, that Benson should return to the stage in roles that suit her as she is a wonderful musical theatre performer.
If you’re local and can snag any remaining seats, do try to get over to Steinmetz hall. I’d give anything for a cast recording.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews Jun 4
2024, 11:23:12 AM
We saw this last evening. Cabaret is one of my favorite shows. From professional productions to community players, I love the story. That said, I did not care for this revival at all. Possible Spoilers: Granted it was MY decision to experience the table package and join for the pre-show prior to curtain. Walking down the alleyway, up and down steps to go back to the main lobby, where the “pre-show” waits you.. anticlimactic. The cast is tale

Fortunately, being a grown adult, I had the right of mind to contact tdf support at 9am this morning and was waiting to hear back. I’ve been a tdf member for over 15 years. I have relatives coming in next week and they were inquiring what was available (last minute) as I could purchase tickets &

Julie Benko as Fanny - Funny Girl Aug 28
2022, 06:24:53 PM
I re- visited the show at yesterday’s matinee, 8/27. Julie Benko is giving a commanding leading lady performance. Benko is, in my opinion, a fine actress - you can tell she has studied the role and crafted a fleshed out character. She is giving us a nuanced and layered Brice with the material over the two plus hours. You like her and root for her instantly. Her comedic timing is sharp as she is comfortable and alive in the moment. It was not rehearsed nor robotic in energy. I enjo

FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread Apr 4
2022, 10:49:50 AM
I saw the matinee on 4/2. I bought tickets for the first week of previews because we love the show (for the show itself) and I’m sure I would go back as it develops, later in the run. I know the work that one sees during a first week is not where they will be five weeks later, let alone five months. At least in most cases…
I am only expressing my perspective, in no way to put down those who may have a different opinion. I think this is a very, very solid reviva

Sally Field was wonderful and had great chemistry with Irwin. I do wish I saw the original cast as well. However, seeing Fields on stage at that time was a great treat. Glad she has returned to theater since. Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content |
