Miserent said: "Listening to Lot’s Wife makes me wish we were being given a recording with Sharon Brown as Caroline. Clarke sounds fine, but I’m still not over Brown’s brilliant performance."Completely agreed - Sharon Brown's vocals with this score were simply phenomenal and was definitely stronger than Clarke all around IMHO

Totally depends on what you want to see - both are really great productions (having seen both).Caroline is a work of art but is fairly deep and intense (with moments of levity), mostly for adults, and a brilliant but complex score.Mrs. Doubtfire doesn't say much but is super-fun, family-friendly, has some show-stopping choreography and toe-tapping numbers. You really can't go wrong with either one.

Just got back from the show and I am SO happy I still went. Let me preface this all by saying that "Caroline, or Change" is my favorite musical and has been since I saw the original production seven times. My expectations for tonight were sky-high and I was already feeling a bit disappointed knowing Sharon D. Clarke was out. Sharon Catherine Brown is a REVELATION as Caroline. I've never seen or even imagined a take on Caroline like this (even on various videos I've seen) - while Tonya and mos...

I have tickets for tonight and got a call from Roundabout a half-hour ago and Sharon D. Clarke is out tonight as well. I'm still going and will definitely report back!

Just got back from the first performance with the new cast members and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll admit, this was my fifth time seeing "Drood" and while the energy in the house was lower tonight than I've seen it before, by the end everyone was on their feet. As far as the newcomers: Erin Davie does a very solid job as Rosa Bud, and I'm sure will find her footing nicely. She is playing Rosa as more of a ditz than the sex kitten angle that Betsy Wolfe took. But, Davie's voice is beautiful a...

I'm going to keep the wave going and say that "Drood" is probably the best thing I've seen this fall. I'd also highly recommend "The Piano Lesson" at Signature, which is a terrific production of a great play.

I was trying to buy Mezzanine Row J-K seats for any Sunday matinee for "Glengarry" today, and the price listed on the "Behind the Curtain" and on the website (of $77 for performances before November 16) does not match the $82 price (which should be for later performances) that pops up when you actually try to purchase tickets. It seems as if someone at Telecharge/the Shubert Organization goofed and either put the wrong information on the main website or incorrectly coded the prices. I sent an...

Jan Maxwell. Best Performance of the Season!! Closely followed by Linda Lavin and Nina Arianda.

newintown- Not all of it, but most of it was good. Especially the plays. A fantastic year for new plays.

I've seen nearly every show to open on Broadway this year, so here are my early Tony predictions 1-5 and who I think should win(1 being most likely to win, 5 being least likely). What are your will/should thoughts? BEST PLAY: 1. Other Desert Cities 2. Clybourne Park 3. Venus in Fur 4. Peter and the Starcatcher Will Win: This is going to be a throw-down between "Other Desert Cities" and "Clybourne Park". I'm thinking that voters will want to reward Jon Robin Baitz, LCT, and that ensemble with ...

There was a 2 song CD for the "Annie Get Your Gun" revival featuring Reba McEntire singing "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" and "I Got Lost in His Arms".

I will say right up front that I got comps to this show and went in with extremely low expectations, especially having heard from a lot of friends in LA about how terrible it was. Having said that, I have to admit that I kind of had a great time at "Leap of Faith" this past Saturday. Now, is this the kind of show that will change the landscape of American musical theater? No. But, it is a really fun guilty pleasure show that is sometimes so goofy that you have to just grin. I am a huge Raul E...

Have an extra ticket to tomorrow (Saturday January 7) s 2pm matinee of Follies. If you want to go, PM me with a sentence or two about yourself and why you want to go. I will reply if you get the ticket.

This past Saturday afternoon, I caught the delightful “Lysistrata Jones”. Let me preface the rest of my comments by saying that while I enjoyed this show, it is certainly not for everyone and isn't necessarily a perfect fit for Broadway. The biggest assets that “Lysistrata” has are the comic and vocal gifts of Liz Mikel. She is brilliant in this and sets the tone of the show extremely well and is one of those actors who seems willing to do anything to engage with the audience, and it works fo...

My Final Tony Award Nomination Predictions (Each nominee in the category is ranked from 1-4 or 1-5 with 1 being the most likely to win) Best Musical 1. The Book of Mormon 2. Sister Act 3. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert 4. Catch Me if You Can (A lot of people are predicting “The Scottsboro Boys” for the 4th slot, but I really don’t think it will have enough support for a nod in the big category) Best Play 1. War Horse 2. Good People 3. Jerusalem 4. The Motherf**ker with the Hat (the last slot ...

I just got back from the 4/21 performance of "The Normal Heart" and have to say that I have not had such a profound experience in the theater in a decade. The entire play, from start to finish, captured me and I thought every aspect of the production was pitch perfect. Joe Mantello was superb and I think that, despite Mark Rylance, he will walk away with the Best Actor in a Play Tony Award. His performance is so nuanced, emotional, and explosive when it needs to be. He has truly made a triump...
