I must admit that the main reason I read Talkin Broadway now is to see how far into left field Matthew Murray goes to analyze and "support" his reviews.

PS. Did you like my pretentious write-up?

okay that's what I was wondering. I think you should take a look at the Original Broadway Cast Recording. While I do love the revival, I can understand how the orchestrations for this particular production can make it seem "boring". I think you'll be surprised by the OBCR.

As I wasn't able to see Encore's production, could someone tell me a bit of what happened at the end of "Lucy and Jessie"? I'm trying to piece it from the interview but it seems a bit rambling at best. Thanks guys!

Hey there....I'm a new poster here and I just wanted to say I love reading these boards for the sheer fun in being able to discuss theatre. I must admit that this board sparked my interest. I was fortunate enough to see A Catered Affair in San Diego while I was doing a regional production down there, and I found it to be incredibly moving, especially Faith Prince and Tom Wopat. The musical's plot is a bit thin at best, but the sensitivity of the direction and the nuance of the portrayals were
