Thanks for the responses. If anyone else has any insight (especially if you saw City of Angels in previews on Broadway or even better if you read a first draft of the show) I would love for you to share your thoughts. n12 – The Donmar ending sounds interesting (and less forced than on Broadway). I wish they had released more footage from their production. The clips I’ve seen look great and the reviews were pretty fantastic.

I’m going to be directing a regional production of City of Angels this winter and I wanted to see if anyone out there had some answers to my questions on the ending. First of all, I love the show. I think it’s smart, hilarious, and has a great score. But the ending feels so inept and thrown together. To me, it reads like a half baked idea in a first draft. It makes me wonder if the original Broadway production (which I know didn’t have an out of town tryout) was in previews and the powers tha...

44 years ago today, Follies played its very first performance in Boston at the Colonial Theatre...

“Now folks we bring you, Direct from Phoenix, Live and in person…” I know this show is very near and dear to a lot of hearts on this board, so I just wanted to alert those interested that I’m directing a production of Follies in Arizona. This will be the first time that Follies has ever been produced by a local theater company. We open on Friday and run through March 15th. While I rarely post anything, I’ve been reading this board for about a decade. Throughout that time I’ve loved all the st...

A few months ago, I wrote a little article for Stage Light Magazine on the Broadway musicals I'd like to see turned into movies. Follies was number 1 on the list. http://www.stagelightmagazine.com/7-broadway-musicals-that-need-to-be-movies/ Here's what I wrote about Follies… Speaking of die hard fans, there will certainly be some riots if Follies gets botched on the way to the big screen. I know this to be true because I will be the one leading the charge. This is another rumored and “in deve...

Hello Everybody! Sorry, shamelessly plugging one more time! I just wanted to let you all know that GAY CAMP is beginning it's third extension at The Duplex Cabaret tonight. We're currently scheduled to run every Friday night through April 25th. Below is a link to our BroadwayWorld article - http://www.broadwayworld.com/off-off-broadway/article/GAY-CAMP-Begins-Performances-at-Duplex-Cabaret-Tonight-20140228#.UxDN4Vwy8mx Tickets are available here - http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/542303...

WARNING! SHAMELESS PLUG/SHILL ALERT! Hi All, I just wanted to let you know about a show I'm directing that's about to re-open at The Duplex Cabaret for an extended run. Our first performance is this Saturday November 9th at 10pm and we are currently scheduled to run through December 20th. I'm a long time reader of this board (occasional poster...usually only about things related to Follies), but I thought some of you might be interested in checking out the show. If not, feel free to post some...

I asked someone who worked on both the off broadway and broadway version why Sara Gettelfinger was replaced. He told me that the producers who became involved with the move to broadway said they would only move the production if she was replaced. Apparently they were the only people seriously interested in moving the show and the only way for Grey Gardens to get to broadway was with them. Nobody else was going to put up the money. Incase anyone is interested, it looks like Sara Gettelfinger i...

Fell down a youtube rabbit hole in anticipation of the concert and I found this montage from the Lincoln Center Theater revival. So many great memories of that production, can't wait to create some new ones tonight! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skz2mdGr4Jw

I walked up to the Box Office at 1pm and got a single orchestra for tonight for $25 with my very old student ID. I had called this morning and spoke with someone who said they were selling them. Worth giving a call and stopping by. I couldn't be more excited to see it tonight!

As I've said before, in full disclosure, I directed the FringeNYC show Gay Camp. Yes the title says it all. It’s gay, it’s camp, it’s Gay Camp. We've been invited to join Fringe Encore, one of only ten shows in Fringe Encore to also win a Fringe Award (we were awarded Best Ensemble). We sold out our entire run in FringeNYC and got some pretty good notices too. If you're interested in the show check out our website- www.gaycamptheplay.com and the Broadwayworld article announcing our extension-...

Here's the BWW opening night coverage of Gay Camp at FringeNYC- http://offoffbroadway.broadwayworld.com/article/Photo-Flash-Opening-Night-at-GAY-CAMP-at-FringeNYC-20120814

So, full disclosure, I’m directing a Fringe show this summer, Gay Camp, and yes the title says it all. It’s gay, it’s camp, it’s Gay Camp. The show opened last night to a sold out crowd (we actually had to turn away about 10 people). Our audience seemed to really enjoy the performance, so hopefully that will translate into some good buzz. The show has been an absolute blast to work on and if you come check it out I can promise you’ll have a good time.

Is CTG not selling tickets for the last few weeks of their run yet? On their website it looks like tickets are only on sale through June 9th.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think my (realistic) picks would be Emma Stone as Sally and Daniel Radcliffe as The M.C.
