My goodness these reviews are making me so sad. I got to see La LuPone, La Daly, and La Lavin on Broadway as "Madam" (NOT Mama!) Rose and they were all various forms of wonderful. Here's hoping that Audra finds her way. I bet that while she's sad about Steve not being able to see it, she's happy to be spared the kind of tongue lashing La Buckley got down at the Papermill! Oy Gevalt that scene with the two of them and Art Laurents sounded BRUTAL.

bowtie7 I could KISS you! This was driving me NUTS! Thank you! I had such a clear memory, and I went and watched all of Anita Morris' appearances with Carson, and she'd never done anything of the sort. Now I know I had the wrong person!

I have a distinct memory of her crawling up on Johnny Carson's desk when she guested on The Tonight Show. But, it seems this never happened! I have access to all the old Tonight Shows, and I can't locate it.Does anyone remember is there was some other talk show where that brilliantly talented star of The Magic Show and Nine crawled up onto the desk of a talk show?

Saw this Monday night. LOVED IT. They do such a great job adapting that pretty long movie (a favorite of mine since 2000) as well as including stuff that didn't make it to the movie. I admit it- it made me cry. And it was neat seeing Cameron Crowe in the audience, rockin' al9ng with everyone else.If I had any criticism, I think the William I saw was a swing, and he seemed slightly uneasy. But, he was good enough. I know the real life Crowe was a nerd, but in the movie he's "nerdy/cute-ish" An...

Dupe delete

What a shame. This could be a really fun, entertaining show with someone who could more easily handle the score. And all the cutsy mugging- just a disaster. After this, I doubt there will be another major revival in my lifetime. Oh well. It's what comes of participation trophy culture.

I feel like this is the end result of years of participation trophies, not keeping score in T ball, and basically telling every kid that nothing they do is less than wonderful. Did no one tell her "you have great talent, just not for this very specific type of role?"The fact that I had to edit this comment for a very mild, and true, comment within in sort of proves my point. The end result of all of that is mediocrity.I suppose if the backers don't mind losing money, no harm. But I really wou...

Frankly, I've been annoyed about this show since it was announced, and I looked of video of the leading lady singing. Anyone who knows the first thing about musicals knows that the book to Funny Girl is helplessly weak. And, in order for it to work, you need to have a phenomenally talented, breakout star in the lead. Why oh why would they cast Feldstein? Look, she IS talented. She really won me over in the Clinton movie. But I'm sorry there is no point to the whole enterprise if Don't Rain on...

So far only Company. I was going to play by ear and maybe see a couple other shows. I guess the only fear about going is that I'll arrive and the city will be in lockdown. But, I guess it's silly to worry about that stuff. If the show is still on as of the time of my flight, I'm going.

Dupe

I'm flying in from LA specifically to see Company. Seeing all these shows cancelling is freaking me out. What's the feeling there on the ground in New York? I know no one has inside info, but in your gut, do you think the show will still be running as of Wednesday?If it isn't, I'm gonna cancel my flight, since I really had no business in NY except to see my diva La LuPone.

It is NO secret that I'm a LuPone fanatic. Getting to see her live on stage is one of the reasons I'm glad yo be alive. But, there have been times when I've cringed at things she's said. I'm not exactly sure she's cruel as much as thoughtless at times. She made a show of having made up with Glenn Close at the Kennedy Center Honors, and a few months later proceeded to continue to badmouth her. She made the magnanimous gesture of singing for ALW at the Grammys, yet called off the detente shortl...

He didn't have much luck at the movies, did he? I think he even disliked the original West Side Story. Whereas I think he liked the movie of Gypsy. Go figure.I love that, after the release of South Park Bigger Longer Uncut, he wrote Trey Parker a note saying it was his favorite movie musical of the last 15 years. Parker's prized possession.For Sondheim, I think South Park was an example of what a movie musical should be. Something made specifically for the screen having nothing to do with the...

Thank you, memorable.

Nolan LuPone that is very fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I wonder what Patti said about Sweeney Todd. I know Sondheim quite liked the movie because it was really sort of unleashed from the stage version. I guess when you have two complex, outspoken people, things like that happen. I remember La LuPone not being shy about being critical of the Streep/Audra/Baranski Ladies Who Lunch last year. Haha.

In February of 2019, I went to see Patti chat with Seth Rudesky in Bevery Hills. Of course, one of the topics they covered was Patti's relationship with Stephen Sondheim. "I don't think he likes me." She stated. This was after she'd agreed to be in Company in London. I believe she went into rehearsals there soon after.The NY Times shared the following note Sondheim wrote to her. The Times specified he wrote it "before the pandemic." “Every now and then I’m brought up short by realizing what a...

So, I have a partial view orchestra seat. K 23. Left side.Will I be ok, or should I try to exchange for better. Keep in mind I'm mostly going to see Patti.

". When Rita Moreno saw Richard Beymer on the set she ran over and threw her arms around him and they both started crying. Spielberg filmed it on his iPhone. What a beautiful story....."This makes me cry. I know Richard has had bad feelings toward WSS for well over half a century. Hope he's made peace with it "
