So exciting to hear that Patti is great. I'm flying into NY this weekend from L.A. for the very purpose of seeing her Saturday night and Sunday matinee! Not to bring any negativity here, but I never felt any desire to see Anika play the role, but something about Patti's energy on stage has always made me think she would do Kira proud. Testing--your response about Curtis makes it sound like you know the rumor to be true? Is he leaving? I always think it's a huge loss when he misses a performan...

Charles Spencer wrote that piece. Matt Wolf's name is there as a link to something else. I like and respect Matt's criticism quite a bit, so was happy to see that it actually wasn't him who totally missed the point.

Weird. I somehow saw a completely different play than The Times, apparently, but the exact same play as Variety -- Like Variety, I also found everyone but Rufus Sewell's Jan unenaging, and felt that for the 90 interesting minutes, there were also 90 excruciatingly dry minutes... I didn't see how this was sentimental/emotional at all. As a pretty decent Stoppard fan myself, having seen many of his plays, this is one I would recommend staying away from (except to see Rufus Sewell's amazing perf...

Of all songs to cut -- that just doesn't make any sense to me... How can the muscial even work without that song; it's the thread that keeps the piece moving throughout...

Of course, that could also have something to do with the fact that if you go to Ticketmaster and ask for a regular ($100+) seat, you're told it's sold out. If you ask for a premium seat ($275-$350 depending on the perf), you're given options at the back of the house. Only if you choose premiere seats ($450 on weekends!) do you get front orchestra, and even then, they're rarely center.

Regardless of how many facts MrDoug has right or wrong about the translation of the Producers from screen to stage, I agree that the stage show transcended and improved upon the film in ways that Young Frankenstein fails miserably to do. Whereas the Producers felt like a new show, even with so much of the material being taken straight from the movie, Young Frankenstein feels like a pointless replication of a much better movie, not unlike showings of Rocky Horror where there are actors standin...

Um, yes you have. "Sisters" refers to a joke from the show... The fact that all of the muses are sisters (and referred to as such often), even if two are played by men...

Has anyone confirmed whether or not the story hit print anywhere, or only made it onto these newspapers' websites? The story is available on many sites including those of the following papers from major cities, dated Saturday, October 27. Can anyone confirm whether these papers actually included the story in print? Robbie--Linda told me tonight that you said you found it in a Long Island paper? Which one? These sites have the story (as do many others, but these are the big ones): Washington P...
