Wait - where's the Perez Hilton part??? Did I miss something? I wonder if she feels the same about the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular...

The thing I've always struggled to comprehend with Sally is that both in Bernadette's and Victoria Clark's portrayals Sally seems like this sweet middle-aged woman just longing for the past until Buddy starts telling Phyllis about how horrible she is at home and how combative she is with their children. It's a little jarring considering how waif-like and meager she seems during the opening scenes and her first act songs. I feel Bernadette's was a little more manic and desperate throughout whe...

While Patti has a point about Hair (I saw it in the Park originally and understood what was going on then again a few weeks ago on Broadway where it was utterly unintelligible - and I'm 25) she may have missed the mark on Cirque du Soleil. If her point is that only musicals should be in Radio City, that's one thing (and actually a rather invalid point considering she has been quoted as complaining that Radio City "swallowing up" musical performers thus why she doesn't like the TONYs to be hel...

**This could contain some spoilers regarding Follies, but if you've heard any Follies cast recording you'd know most of these plot points** The staging, specifically the interaction between the ghosts of their former selves and the present day Sally & Ben, make me feel like this is all a fantasy in Sally's head. Is it that or is Ben just manipulative to the point that he'd actually say "It was always real" in order to get into Sally's pants? The fact that he's on to Carlotta the very next sce...

Some of the inflections she used made me think that Martha Plimpton could most certainly play Carol Channing in a biopic. Anybody? Anybody?

Actually, for a show about dancing I found "Angry Dance" to be clunky, disjointed and ineffective.

I meant more so that they have to hold auditions for a production regardless of it having a tentative cast to satisfy union rules like they do with shows that are transferring from the West End. Jesus... New World is fast becoming the elephant graveyard of once-hit Broadway shows...

"They are specifically looking for unknowns for this production. I had previously been told that it was cast already through submissions, but clearly that person was misinformed." Or it is already mostly cast and they're merely having the shortened open call to comply with union rules... Was there truly any need whatsoever for this show to return?

Their website is horrific It's always impossible to find her videos...

@beautywickedlover That was probably because Ursula had a much larger and intricate costume as well as a longer make-up application and more time off stage. It might also be closer to the stage which, with all of the Ursula extremities, would make more logical sense as to avoid any of the smaller corridors backstage.

"I've been through Gandhi, Windsor and Wally's affair And I'm here Amos and Andy, Mahjong and platinum hair And I'm here I've been through Abie's Irish Rose, Five Dionne Babies Major Bowes Had heebie-jeebies For Beebe's bathysphere I lived through Brenda Frazier And I'm here. I've gotten through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover Gee, that was fun and a half When you've been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover Anything else is a laugh." I agree that this is definitely the verse in question. Although...

Sure, we have the internet and sure the intonation of the song is fairly evident without knowing all of the references (much like [title of show]'s ability to resonate with non-theater people) BUT I would venture to say that because the song is so reference heavy that even I (as a newer yet die-hard Follies fan) grew tired of being "out of the joke" so consistently throughout the song.

I'll make up the other 33% of your not kidding and echo the sentiment...

Gee, this was just screaming with the need for musicalization...

Ghostlight just confirmed that the full version of "Crazy Heart" will be the bonus track on the cast recording!!! Sh-K-Boom & Ghostlight Records Danny Burstein's here and we have begun recording "Madrid" the Act One opener! He sounds awesome! Me I hope you guys record the original full version of "Crazy Heart" or at least make it a bonus track! 12 minutes ago Sh-K-Boom & Ghostlight Records You are in luck! It WILL in fact be a bonus track! about a minute ago ·

You obviously didn't see Patti in her sexy VERGE costumes.... Absolutely. Her cup almost runneth over a few times she was 'pushed up' so much...

X-Posting from elsewhere: I had seen the show with Bernie and Stritchay a few months back and they were both outstanding. I had read prior to going to the show about all of the issues Stritch was having on her first few nights then saw the show and thought people might have been taking her "Where was I"'s as her actually losing her place. I then went back on Friday night (1/7) and she was visibly struggling throughout the show. Liaisons came almost to a halt multiple times, she struggled with...

Not incredibly close - but Union Smith (on the corner of Union & Smith St.) is fantastic.

Maureen Moore as Charlotte is pure genius. Ever gesture has intention and every word has nuance. The way she shoots the side-eye to Anne the first time Anne chimes in during "Everyday A Little Death" is brilliant. She barely moves throughout the entire song but communicates volumes. I'm going to go re-watch her doing the "Drinks on the Terrace" scene again now... EDIT:

I do think the exaggeration on BP's behalf was an acting choice. She is playing an aging actress stuck in stock productions so I could see why she would choose to put on so much affect throughout the show. It also created levels and a stark contradiction to when she went into "Send In The Clowns" and really pulled at everyone's heart strings. The thing is, she did this well enough the first time I saw her in the show and when I returned on Friday it bordered on comical (in a bad way). Her dia...
