She still has it! Not too long ago she stunned us all with a powerful “I Am What I Am!” at the memorial for Jerry Herman…🤓. And she’s at 54Below repeatedly…

I was deeply impressed and moved by the Broadway production of ROMEO AND JULIET last year with Rachel Ziegler and Kit O’Connor. I wonder if the success of that production has caused the somewhat lackluster reception and interest in this NYSF production?

Re: DAMN YANKEES - Of course they could temporarily reconfigure a theater to be thrust or in the round (such as the recent CABARET at the August Wilson, HERE LIES LOVE at the Broadway), but that obviously adds great expense…maybe they ARE aiming for Circle in the Square after JIT closes down the road?

I'm seeing this tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it!  Seems much more in line with what the mission of Encores! has been, at least in the past. Plus, Kate Baldwin and Brian Stokes Mitchell?! I mean, come on!  Any chance to see and hear them is worthwhile!

This video posted today on BroadwayWorld is pretty damn exciting!  We get George C. Wolfe talking a bit about the show GYPSY, then Audra and how this is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, and then "curtain up" and we see the theater in all it's glory from the stage.  THEN, we get the whole GYPSY overture, which of course is one of the greatest show overtures ever created!  This finally put me over the edge and I went to the show site and bought my ticket (I've seen Gypsy with everyone since Tyne).

Well, this will get me back to see it again, one more time...Aaron's singing in this is thrilling...

After all these years, it is still "Moose Murders".  My friend and I were given free tickets by a connection at New Dramatists for a late preview.  

My friend stood up and bellowed at intermission, "This is an outrage to the theater!" and stormed out.  I refused to leave until I saw Act 2, to see if it could get any worse.  Oh, it did!  Somehow Holland Taylor survived this epic pile of horse ****!

Had to come back just to add to my post above that listening to this now, I'm reminded how delightfully dark and hilarious this material is, how sublime every performer is here, just how freakin' great...what a glorious treat in the midst of such troubled days...

What an incredible joy it is to be listening to this final show of Sondheim's career...I was lucky enough to have seen it at The Shed some months ago, and now to relive it and savor the brilliant melodies, the intricate delicious lyrics, the sublime orchestrations...what a treasure this is!

So thankful that it even exists.  Truly a great blessing for all of us Sondheim lovers.

Hello!  

I am going to a performance tonight that's part of the Cabaret Convention in NYC.  This show is at Jazz at Lincoln Center, West 60th Street.

Does anyone know if they are serving food and drink at these shows?  Thanks for any info!

Jewish holidays took a toll, perhaps? Numbers are down for almost everything…seems less than typical this this time of year?

Funny Girl's final week:  $2,137,057

Imagine what that number would have been if Lea had not had to miss the first 3 shows of the final week?

AMEN TO THIS!!! 

Anyone else going tonight? Sad to hear Jessica Vosk has announced she won’t make this because of conflict, but I’m sure whoever we get will be great! 
 

What a dazzling all star Broadway cast! And the original 25 piece orchestrations! And Yeston himself and original cast member Karen Akers will do a Q&A with the audience after!

I can’t wait!
