OH, MARY! Reviews

Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Oh Mary, but it’s every Charles Busch show I’ve ever seen.  There’s nothing new here.  Over the top camp.  It’s fun but the wheel hadn’t been reinvented.


Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?

Does anyone know how long Milo Mannheim & Elizabeth Gillies are contracted till?  Going first week of May & would love to see them.

Have you tried throwing it at somebody very, very hard?

that’s an intelligent response.

This recording is not dangerous.  It NEEDS to be dangerous. 


SUNSET BLVD. Reviews

did she eat him alive on stage?  This photo exemplifies the problem I have with this production.  It makes no sense.  It’s the emporer’s  new clothes.  Artsy farts pretentiousness.  She’s a powerhouse but she’s not playing Norma Desmond.  I agree, this production is a ‘stunt’.


LMM working on THE WARRIORS musical?

How could LMM get this so wrong?  The Warriors is a testosterone driven youth angst filled story with needs to told with street music.  This is none of that.  Sorry ladies, no offense intended, but it doesn’t hit the same.  The music is not of the street.  This recording doesn’t have balls.  That’s the problem.

I have no doubt LMM knows that and will be writing it as a response to WSS and the novel and the film and all that’s followed between then and now.

The screenplay is so much better than the book.  The book has a lot of uninteresting backstory. &

The movie had an all-female gang...

I’m all for that…

 


LMM working on THE WARRIORS musical?

I was very excited about this.  But ALL female gangs in NYC just doesn’t make sense.  I find this very disappointing.  It’s just PC BS over reality.  It’s not sexism, it’s just realistic about gangs in The Bronx.  


An Interesting Article about The Inheritance

You get out of art what you bring to it.
An Interesting Article about The Inheritance

Sex negative is a judgement that I don’t think it implied at all. It honestly depicted sexual behavior within the gay community & its ramifications. Good and bad.
An Interesting Article about The Inheritance

I thought The Inheritance was exquisitely beautiful theater. Not perfect, but what is? If people don’t like this, I give up. They won’t like anything. This is a love letter to the gay community.
In defense of Tootsie

Just saw the show. It’s hysterically funny. Haven’t laughed that much at a show in a long time. The performances were solid across the board. The problem is the score isn’t strong. The songs don’t do justice to the smart writing. But still, a very fun show and I would definitely recommend it.
Matt McGrath is a Legend

He was equally as brilliant in The Black Rider. ,Agreed about his Hedwig.  A truly gifted performer!


The One Cast Album Never Recorded You Want

Whistle Down The Wind - the D.C. tryput was sung gorgeously by Davis Gaines, Irene Malloy and the entire cast.  Yes, it needed work but was a million times better than the unwatchable London production.  NEVER let Hal Prince go!!'  Would be a beautiful recording!


The One Cast Album Never Recorded You Want

The London Guys & Dolls revival with Jane Krakowski & Ewan McGregor!  Jane was phenomenal  the orchestrations were terrific.

Lestat  the San Francisco version was better than Broadway (not that it takes much)

Eric Whiacre's anamie techno pop opera Paradise Lost:  Shadows & Wings with the original Pasadena cast  the sound was incredible!

 

 


So What Musicals Should Jake Gyllenhaal Do?

Her Miss Adelaide in Guys & Dolls in London was fantastic. A wonderful production.
