REBORNING - SoHo Playhouse Jul 17
2019, 10:46:49 PM
I received an email from TDF this morning informing me that this evening’s performance of REBORNING had been canceled. Later this afternoon I learned that all future performances are suspended due to a fire in the building that houses the theater. Very sad for those involved with the production. Link

Theater Gunshots Jun 3
2019, 10:32:22 AM
I revisited the Downstage Center interview of Andre De Shields from February 1, 2010. (I strongly recommend listening or re-listening to this podcast.) In it, De Shields recounts the story of an early performance of Ain’t Misbehavin’ when Jackie Kennedy had a terrible reaction to a gunshot in the show. It’s a moving story.

I don’t say much here, but I just saw the matinee this afternoon. This was a deeply fulfilling theatrical experience. I was so moved by André De Shields. I was taken with Chris Sullivan in the NYTW recording, and I worried I would struggle with his very different interpretation. (I know those on this board know what it’s like to fall in love with an early cast recording.) De Shields was captivating from the moment he took the stage. I want to return and spend an entire show

Leslie Odom Jr. in Concert Jan 21

Leslie performed last night with the Oregon Symphony in Portland. It was a beautiful show, highlighted for me by his a cappella "Forever Young" and his beautiful rendition of "Without You" from RENT which is in single release.
It was a bit of a surprise when he was introduced and he and his five-piece band walked out on stage in decidedly casual clothes to join the full orchestra. Leslie was in a pair of faded jeans, boots and a black jacket. The promo photos f

I don’t speak up very often, but I find this in very poor taste.

Yiddish Fiddler at the Museum of Jewish Heritage Jul 19

Do not concern yourself with the language. There are subtle supertitles. But honestly, a few minutes in you will forget about the Yiddish altogether. They communicate perfectly.

I saw the matinee this afternoon. It's best production of Fiddler I've ever seen.

Telecharge Exchange Jul 24
2017, 06:18:31 PM
I've had my issues with Telecharge, but great customer service should be acknowledged.
I purchased a full-price ticket to a play in anticipation of a trip to New York next week. Yesterday I suffered a significant injury that will require surgery. Trip to NYC canceled. I called customer service in hopes of getting a post-dated ticket. Instead, they offered a full refund, and kind wishes for a speedy recovery.
I'm grateful.

I saw THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY tonight at the Westside Theatre. It was excellent.
I thoroughly enjoyed THE WEIR last night at Irish Rep.
I'm seeing KING LIZ, SCENES FROM AN EXECUTION, and JOHN this weekend.
Other off-Broadway recommendations?

TDF Update Jul 8

Thank you Haterobics.
I was able to purchase a ticket this afternoon, but now it is down again.
Pinto: while prices may vary a bit, I believe I pay about $30 per year. Whatever the cost, it pays for itself with one purchase.
