Roza

Mama Mia

Agree about David Morse. I thought his costume and his hair seemed somewhat contemporary. I just thought he was badly miscast. For a great Larry Slade, watch Robert Ryan in the film version. He was amazing. But the part is very difficult because he repeats himself so much and it's hard to keep variety in the character. Loved Washington, although he did have to call for line twice during his long monologue which was a shame because it took me momentarily out of the story. I liked the young man...

I saw Carousel on Wednesday and was absolutely enchanted by it. I though Joshua and Jessie were wonderful and I felt very strong chemistry between them. That first kiss was as sexy as anything I've ever seen in the theatre. I loved the staging. I can't imagine why people have such problems with it. I loved the chorepgraphy and all of the performances. If the script has been changed a little, so what? Shakespeare's plays are definitely classics and have you ever seen a production of one of his...

Thank you, Broadway Concierge. My thoughts exactly!

Reporting the fact that Murphy missed lots of performances is not being horrid. It was fair and accurate reporting.

How was Phyllis?

I have seen: Ginger Rogers (my first and favorite), Dorothy Lamour, Martha Raye, Pearl Bailey, Madeline Kahn, Carol Channing, Nell Carter, Yvonne DeCarlo and I'm seeing Bernadette next month (can't wait!!)

Just saw it in Costa Mesa. Cried through the whole thing. Extraordinary! Loved it Broadway as well but I think it works slightly better on the proscenium stage. The Broadway cast was amazing but I liked the touring cast even more. I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Yes I remember Lansbury being mentioned. I think that was about the time she got Murder She Wrote and so was unavailable. If memory serves, Sondheim was originally talked about as the composer.

Why would you report them? If you don't like them, then don't go.

Roza was a wonderful show with a great performance by Georgia Brown.

I am over Patti LuPone. I used to love her but I now find her performances to be self indulgent. Everything she does says, "look at me! I'm so wonderful." Carol Channing is overrated in Hello, Dolly. Her performance was a caricature.Company is Sondheim's greatest show and the original production is one of the most exiting evenings I have ever spent in the theatre. I love Blood Brothers.

Who did you like better? Channing or Raye?

Did you see Martha Raye or Phillis Diller as Dolly? How were they? . I saw Martha but I don't remember much about her.

Judy Garland as Dolly? What a wonderful idea. She would have been amazing. I've read that they also considered Julie Andrews! Talk about miscasting! I'm glad Streisand did it. We would have always wondered, "what would Streisand's Dolly have been like?" Also would have loved to have seen her as Mame!!!

Would love to see Wilcat!

Patti has a beautiful voice but I find her annoying as a performer. She is all about herself. Her standing ovation at the Tony Awards was not a tribute to Bette but a way to bring focus on herself.
