How fun! Do it for men too.

I'd love to see this for Zegler, but he makes a bit of vomit rise in my throat whenever I see him.

The cd of GYPSY (2025) is one of those flimsy, ugly digipacks. We should be thankful for the booklet but there is no title notation on the black spine. I'm flashing when WB finally released Prince's The Black Album. At least that still comes in a jewel case. This GYPSY is going to get lost amongst my other GYPSY.  The cd sounds great but the package is cheap.

Yes I did. You've heard of Peppa Pig? This is her great grandmother Patti Pig.

PIG!

 

HARRY POTTER - or what I call HARRY POTTER GOES VEGAS

SOFT POWER - an awful 1st act

LES MIZ - recent National Tour

MISS SAIGON - 1st National Tour

HADESTOWN - not for me.

ADVENTURE OF PRISCILLA QUEEN... that bus....ugh.

I'm sure there were more.

One other point, I've never walked out of a Stoppard play.

 

 

I cried at "Sunday" too when I saw it in LA. I won the Today Tix lottery and sat front row for $20. I loved the show! So many great moments.

In 2001 saw Uta Hagen with David Hyde Pierce in Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles. I lost count of how many times she called LINE. It was very odd and I was a bit scared for her. She was 82. She fell off the stage into the audience latter in the run. Sometimes it would have been better to have stayed home. That would go for Miss Hagen and I.

Apparently her giving flowers to the Hell's Kitchen team is also bullying.

Look, Patti LuPone can be a bit of an ass but it's obvious what is going on here - she is a cranky old woman starring in a quiet play that is sharing a wall with what I assume to be a heavy amplified production. I guarantee that if AMERICAN IDIOT was there it would get the same treatment. Why do we have to bring race into everything all the time?

It's called macro as in small, minor. So miniscule you have to look super hard for it.  Get over it and sing your song. 

Thank you for the good news.

Have tickets for tonight 2/15/24.

Tues & Weds were cancelled.

Is the show on for today?

Thanks!

I went the final week at the Shubert: Los Angeles to see the show for the third time. There was an unusually long Cancellation Line that night. Turns out that was the day Dunaway was let go and there was a sudden demand for tickets before it closed.

So slow, Helen Keller could have run from it with no problem.

I saw it in LA and it is terrible. Only someone looking for a Tax Write-Off would invest in this mess.

Jayne Houdyshell as Mama Rose.

Nathan Lane as Herbie

I saw the 1984 production and remember it was exactly the same as the Broadway production but with more trained voices. I had already seen the original cast twice and this time around was my least favorite.

I looked up the second time NYOC did the show and was surprised Elaine Paige played Mrs. Lovett. Here's a clip of her "Best Pies in London."

I've seen THE BOOK OF MORMON 27 times. I paid full price 3 times and won the lottery 24 times. I live close to the theatre so it's nothing for me to go down for the drawing. There's only about 3 times where the show was off which was usually the fault of various understudies for the Elder Cunningham role I've seen. BOM isn't my favorite show, but it's a damn fine one and a fun, funny night at the theatre. Just hearing the audience react to it is worth it. 

The first thing I thought was the the transition in GYPSY from the younger to older performers. Even the movie and TV version use it it's so great. No special effects - just a simple strobe. Brilliant!
