Dylan Smith4 said: "RippedMan said: "...to you, not to the average ticket buyers. He's not a name here."He would still do great back here on Broadway! That man is one of the best dancers I’ve ever seen! They can put big names in the other lead roles though Carly Anderson should also come over. " I don’t know much about the differences between London and Broadway, but if a big show was losing money on Broadway, would they not close it instead of having it run on for another four or five months...

I see that Crazy for You West End is selling tickets through January. Originally a limited run was planned, because there had been a revival of it only six or seven years ago.The singing and dancing must be spectacular if the thin plot and corny gags are excused.Nice to see Susan with a hit financially as well as artistically. She has been trying to get this to Broadway since 2018. Charlie Stemp has right of first refusal for Broadway. The long time the show will have run in England might kee...

On the night when they all descended on the Broadway theater to see the musical written by their Catskills Music Director, they surprised me by using as incidental music two songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein flop Pipe Dreams. One of the songs was the incredibly catchy “Sweet Thursday” that I can’t believe no one has ever put to good use somewhere. Maybe they got clued onto the music from watching the Encore’s presentation of Pipe Dreams.

The nutritional community blamed the great outbreak of obesity on the enormous increase in per capita consumption of sugary soft drinks in the 70s and 80s. In particular that time is noted by the fast food restaurants offering to “supersize“ your soft drink by adding another 40 ounces for a dime. Body: “Thank you very much for this additional 84 grams of sugar. I don’t happen to have any need for this extra sugar, which I carry around as glycogen, but let me squirt, some insulin into the bloo...

Sunday in the Park with George is never going to be a widely popular musical. An audience member has to work to get into the world on display before him. He must care about the characters, and empathize with the them although they do little to consciously generate that empathy. He must forego the pleasures of a melodious score. If a musical lover must choose turning left to hear "The Best of Times" or right to hear "Finishing the Hat," most will turn left. But that's all right. Those who love...

As far as seating, I haven't been disappointed with Lodge seats I've sat in, but the orchestra will be better. There's very little Lodge overhang, so just about anywhere in the Orchestra will be closer. If you get a chance, if you go more than once, try sitting in the first or second row, either to the left or right of the pit, it’s like you’re practically on stage, and you can see every expression on their faces. It’s a unique experience to me.I don’t recall rewriting the book of a music tha...

I'm waiting for the sequel they are working on, I believe it's calledThe Koran."If they ridiculed Muslim like they do Mormonism, they may well be charged with a hate crime and terminated the next day. Or they might have to flee to Finland for their lives. I fail to see the distinction between the two religions. Except that one is .small and pow...

I did not see her in Violet, but I heard about it and people said it validated her acting ability and I was glad to hear it. That first act closer Anything Goes was a spectacular tribute to old-time Broadway dancing. I remember Sutton saying that the trick to singing when you were so dry from dancing was to bite down hard on your tongue. I didn't try it.It's funny, but I think when Matthew Morrison cancelled, Sutton and Kelli went together out to Long Island's Stony Brook University for a con...

Jessie Mueller. Played Carole King in a juke box musical. Vocal difficulty: Had to sound like Carole King.Acting difficulty: Had to sound like Carole King.Look, I had my vinyl copy of Tapestry. It is a pop classic.King even gets sole songwriting credit for all the songs. Gerry Goffin fell into a sewer and was written out of her life.About 599,000 less people have watched the recording of the title tune to Beautiful than watched the recording of One Second and a Million Miles from Bridges, wit...

Barlett was pleased with her as well:The casting of Ambrose, a 40-year-old mother of two, as the twentysomething Eliza bewildered some theater folk, but Sher says that “to get someone who can do all of this, it’s always a surprise. And every single time I’ve ever worked with her, she came in and gave the best audition I’ve ever seen, until the next time she came in for something else.”But I won't even be able to see the pale reproduction of the show. Lauren won the Outer Critics Cir...

Broadway kills me in that it does not record and save its greatest achievements for a release to the world even if it’s many years after the show had its run. This My Fair Lady production is about the only show I can remember where I enjoyed the second act dialogue more than the music, and there was nothing wrong with the music either.So what if Bernard Shaw considered Stalin a friend, and was a houseguest of Hitler. He knew his craft, how to write engaging dialogue, and that is why his plays...

Jarethan said: "I have always felt that she had a beautiful voice, but lacks charisma on stage. I thought she deserved the Tony for Piazza hands down, but did not feel she deserved a win for anything else. I thought Donna Murphy and Faith Prince were more charismatic Anna’s, as was Marin Mazzie.i did not see Bridges, but could see her in the role. I have never liked Kiss Me, Kate, but thought she could not compare with Mazzie in the earlier revival, this despite the fact that I never consider...
