RIP Bob Avian, Age 83

Jan 23, 2021 — 11:13:00 AM

Not sure when he moved to Ft. Lauderdale. I met him there at a Patti Lupone concert. He was quite nice and almost shy. Enjoyed reading his recent book. A great loss.

Requested a birthday party invitation from Leslie Jordan back in February. It was funny and a little dirty. I loved it! He was quite creative.

The Boys in the Band to premiere on Netflix, Wed. 9/30

Oct 3, 2020 — 1:53:48 PM

ArtMan said: "I have not seen the Netflix film, but have seen the original film many times. Can someone detail the friction between Donald and Harold that is now being presented. Unless I have missed something watching the original film, I never saw any indication of this. In fact, Donald comes across very sympathetic towards Harold when Michael throws his barbs. Someone also posted earlier, that Harold is "overall hostile". I don't see this at all in any of Harold's interactions with anyone ...

The Boys in the Band to premiere on Netflix, Wed. 9/30

There as also an excellent companion documentary on the making of the film on Netflix. I believe it's called The Boys in the Band, Something Personal. It contains interviews as well as a tour of Mart Crowley's NY apartment as he discusses his friendships which later became influences in the script.

Bombshell Benefit Concert

May 13, 2020 — 7:41:38 PM

I was there in 2015 for this magical reunion. It was the Monday following the Tony's, so it was a big party.The costumes, full orchestra, backup chorus, and principles from SMASH made it a most exciting evening. They seemed to really enjoy revisiting the songs. New choreography was awesome, and the crowd went nuts for every single number. There were a few surprises along the way. This revisit sounds like a great idea!

It's well worth a visit. Lots to see. The many show posters and set models were quite interesting. Very enjoyable.

Opinions about JUDY

Oct 8, 2019 — 9:06:58 AM

Bettyboy72 said: "Overall, I like Renée but thought the screenplay was lackluster. There’s very little new ground to tread. It’s like beating a dead horse. I understand why Liza and Lorna distance themselves from it. The question I have was Judy really always such a mess? She’s portrayed as pathetic in so much. It’s really exhausting.I did appreciate the handler character who communicated compassion and empathy rather than eye rolling or irritation. It seems people were drawn into her fragili...

I would have to say Billy Porter. Just heard lots of his music this morning on Broadway station on Serius XM.

Questions about Lombardo's "Looped"

Aug 14, 2019 — 8:20:31 AM

Indeed the show did tour with Powers. Saw her in Ft. Lauderdale a few years back. If I recall, she learned the part in a very short period of time. She looked the part and was better than the material. Lots of jokes from the character as she descended into heavy abuse of alcohol and cocaine. Not many people in the audience today would even know about Tallulah Bankhead. Just like Lombardo's "High," the performance (in this case Kathleen Turner) was far better than the script.

Has anyone recognized actors anywhere but a show?

Looking forward to Metcalf. Just to hear her say "If you existed, I'd divorce you!"

Phantom of the Opera - And why I finally get it

Mar 21, 2019 — 2:40:53 PM

I've been a Phantom fan for quite awhile and have seen several tours. Never seen it at the Majestic. I look forward to doing so in early April. This thread is making me glad I bought a ticket for this trip.
