Future Bernadette Peters on Broadway shows? Jan 15
2025, 12:17:02 AM
Ms. Peters and I work out at the same gym. I have often been right next to her doing my reps and have seen her without makeup, in her leotard vigorously working those machines with her trainer. She absolutely looks and acts 20 years younger than her age. If she could bottle whatever her genes have produced, she would be a billionaire that would have Elon Musk begging for mercy:) Hell, she'd never have to work again....God bless her natural radiance.

Also once the overture begins to the final curtain, if the show runs even a minute or two over the 3 hour mark the production goes into golden overtime for all union contracts. Since I believe the show as played now runs 2:55 I think it's a practical consideration unless they cut something from the script or have the cast wave goodby to the audience at the end as the curtain comes down :)

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews Nov 18

or posslbly an early Summer opening of The Jellicle Ball? Just speculating since they've already excavated the crap out of the house and both production companies can split the cost of the renovation. Anyone have more concrete projections?

Scherzinger in SUNSET BLVD. Previews Oct 20
2024, 01:23:40 PM
I saw this on Thursday night and I am in agreement with all of the plusses (which are many) as well as the minuses. There are a bit too many cheesy moments from Nicole's valley girl humor to that ****ing cutout of ALW in the act 2 opening that would have been so easy to eliminate. Why diminish this fascinating Greek Choral decent into madness with crap that pulls you out of the moment. I also found the hip hop streetwear costume design for the ensemble abetting this distraction. Yes,

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Reviews Oct 9
2024, 01:11:35 AM
Was at tonight's performance and was quite disappointed that both Sutton and Michael were out. We had TDF tix so decided to see the show anyway. Both Kara and Daniel Beeman really hit their stride and were quite funny and endearing. It was clearly a different take on the roles and knowing what Sutton and Michael were capable of I'm sure it would have been even funnier than it was tonight (which was still pretty damn funny what with the great polished performances s

Marla Mindelle's BIG GAY JAMBOREE at the Orpheum Off-Bway, produced by Margot Robbie. Fall 2024. Sep 30

and Cortney was terrific! Would not have guessed that she was a standby. The whole evening was fast moving and quite funny in a totally stupid kinda way which in this case is a compliment. It is a big production for this small space and can't really see how they plan on making any money unless it's a massive hit. Right now there are a slew of tix available on TDF.

THE HILLS OF CALIFORNIA by Jez Butterworth to open at the Broadhurst this fall Jul 30
2024, 06:33:42 PM
it just showed up again on TDF for a nano second and I got a pair for November 6th. Not sure if TDF will contact me to renege (which sounds fair under the circumstances) or if they will just honor the $20 price. We'll see. I'm cool either way.

Erivo, Graham, Gotay, and more to lead A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC IN CONCERT Jun 29

So I was there tonight for the final performance. I thought it all went smoothly as it probably should after three performances under their belt. I understand some of the casting complaints but vocally it all came together. Susan Graham's Send in the Clowns was touching as was Cynthia's Miller's Son exciting. Whatever complaints there might be, hearing this score with this large of an orchestra was a musical treat. I stayed thru the exit music and when Jonathan Tunick he

There are rush tickets for today's performance at $50 each. I just called Centercharge and they sold them to me by phone, albeit with the $11 fee additional. That was $61 per ticket without having to stand on line before the performance. There are a lot of availablity and you can choose your location from the seating map online. Just a head's up.

Any idea when they release the $50 rush tix? IG says "before each performance" might that be an hour or two or maybe earlier in the day? Thanks.

and "the woman playing Desiree" as she is described here is Susan Graham, a superb Mezzo soprano and a star at the Metropolitan Opera. Perhaps she was miscast but next to Cynthia she is probably the biggest draw for the Lincoln Center audience.

Metropolis is the restaurant that is in the center. It seems to be quite nice and when you get your tix confirmed it is advertised. Perhaps that would be a safe bet for u.

I just found Titanic on TDF for a few nights next week. At $45 it'll be worth it wherever one sits.

And as far as HK is concerned, the story is pretty weak in holding all of the music together. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is reacting to this being a total piece of fiction even though we're supposed to think that this is about the composer's life. By 17 she had her first hit out. She got a manager at 13 and was already negotiating contracts. She loved the piano from age 7 and studied with a number of teachers at professional performing arts programs in th

The Life & Slimes of Marc Summers Feb 17
2024, 12:40:14 AM
We were there tonight and unknowingly sat in the front row. A bit of slime did land on my white puffer jacket. It wiped off immediately and was no big deal at all. I had no idea who Marc Summers was but my partner grew up watching Double Dare and wanted to go. Frankly, it was quite charming and ultimately a touching and funny 90 minute show. Many dates are available on TDF so it was well worth a night out.

My tix are HH 205 and 204. They are now considered partial view. I'll see where they "upgrade" me as that is what the email said.

I just received an email this morning saying that my seats in the side section of the stage is now considered Partial View. They will be reseating me but I'm fearful that it will be all the way in the back. Let's see what they do.

The Shed was a wonderful space to present Straight Line Crazy earlier this year. I and many others enjoyed it immensely. As soon as I got my tix for Here We Are I've been envisioning it on that stage and I think after reading the Frank Rich interview it is an inspiring choice.
