Has anyone seen "Cougar the Musical" yet? I was there tonight and was pleasantly surprised. It made me laugh and had some really touching moments. The cast was wonderful -- Brenda Braxton, Catherine Porter, Babs Winn and Danny Bernardy. It's still in previews but the house was packed. Any one else care to chime in?

I know it ain't Broadway but it's Broadway style. I heard this song for the first time last Thursday night. It made me smile, it made me laugh. I thought you'd enjoy.

Haven't you ever heard the German cast recording? That isn't new enough? Kelsey ain't got nothing on them....

The vocalist is Ric Ryder, the choreography is by Chet Walker (co-creator of FOSSE). Click to watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgfCS9_cx1w) -- I hope it makes you smile! P.S. If you are craving a Stephen Schwartz fix, there's a benefit honoring him on Saturday night (tickets: $25-$135) on Staten Island. Find out more at http://theharborlightstheatercompany.org.

Here's a link to a video about the new Broadway show IMPRESSIONISM starring Joan Allen, Jeremy Irons & Marsha Mason: http://takeacoldshower.blogspot.com/2009/02/impressionism-starring-jeremy-irons.html Enjoy!

What a fascinating thread. It was like reading a good detective story! The only reason that I'm posting this is to mention that Motown did record at least one other Broadway cast album: the 1970s revival of GUYS & DOLLS starring Robert Guillame (sp?) and Ken Page. To this day, it's still my favorite recording of GUYS & DOLLS. "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" really ROCKS!

Last week, I shot and edited a video featuring Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, riffing on Broadway, Will's illicit steroid use and more! Click on the link to watch! Bob

The third installment of the Broadway theatre tour with Jared Bradshaw (currently in Chicago's JERSEY BOYS and formerly of FORBIDDEN BROADWAY) is up at NewYorkHotFlashes.com

On Tuesday, Dec. 2, Tony’s di Napoli unveiled the latest portrait for The Broadway Wall of Fame: a portrait of Keith Carradine. These are images from the celebration, with appearances by members of the cast of MINDGAME (directed by Ken Russell) and Martha Plimpton, Richard Kind, Donna Moore and Boyd Gaines. I covered the event for CorinesCorner.com. She has posted photos and more info on her blog. Here is a link to more images from the evening: http://bittenbyazebra.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/b...

Thanks for sharing! I earned my "gay card" by getting to play a farm boy in a community theatre production when I was in high school... I wish I could have seen the original!

Yes, indeed, turkeys are surprisingly relevant to Broadway musicals (in more ways than one)... http://bittenbyazebra.wordpress.com/2008/11/17/fornicating-turkeys-a-tribute-to-ben-franklin/ Peace Out, Bob

Last week, I captured some images during Duncan Shiek's concert at Town Hall for http://www.CorinesCorner.com. She has posted some images. To see more, visit http://www.bittenbyazebraphotography.com and scroll down! Peace out! Bob P.S. The web link doesn't seem to be working. Hmm...

Goodness, me -- "dull" on stage? Did you see his thighs in XANADU? I thought he was incredibly funny and delightful. I saw him for the first time in the Broadway hit ALL SHOOK UP. Well... maybe "hit" isn't the right word. In any case, he still is simply dreamy.... :)

I went to the unveiling of Cheyenne's portrait on the Broadway Wall of Fame back in August and have finally gotten around to posting photos that I shot that night. Here is a link to the 8 images, with appearances by Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Roberts and more: http://bittenbyazebra.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/broadway-wall-of-fame-cheyenne-jackson/ I also shot some video that evening.
