Profile for Laurapattifan

Positive from Slant. https://www.slantmagazine.com/theater/beaches-review/

She’s done a few readings/workshops that had public showings. A Wrinkle in Time at NY Stage and film (she was replaced by Amber Grey for the production), a musical version of The Cherry Orchard, and a Michael Friedman work at the NYPL. I found the first two to be quite boring, but she was delightful in the Friedman work.

Maybe the opening from Murder Ballad?

I mean, maybe, but the surrealism of her just repeating "peppermint twist" over and over again in some kind of Russian accent never got old."The twist twist peppermint twist twist twist…

The streaming era has decimated the music industry and most artists do not make money from their music, but from touring. It used to be an artist made 80% of their revenue from album sales and 20% from touring, now it’s pretty much the opposite. Cast recordings, like musicals, are often money losing ventures. The albums benefit licensing more than anything. I think Hamilton, Six, and Wicked are the most recent mega albums and even then only Hamilton really behaved like a mainstream album char...

I am going tonight. Rush is only $25. Went pretty late so my seat is partial view, but I am looking forward to revisiting the production.

I think Hello, Dolly! is perfect as is so it felt like an added I want song that isn’t as good as the Oak Leaf Monologue/Before the Parade Passes By. And from their description of the Ethel Merman songs it seems like they just placed them in and called it a day ...

They just gave up on it. Sorry, somebody had to say it.""I don’t know how a show selling 68% of the theater and heavily comping nearly the entire run could be seen as not doing “that bad.” I love the cast and hope to go to closing but this show had a pretty rapid decline in the last few weeks.

I’ve skipped around the album but am enjoying it so far. Bella Coppola sounds fantastic, such a rich voice. The dialogue is there in The 20th Century Mambo and Don’t Forget Me. This has to do with the Karen/Ivy switch offs not just the scene changes like in the show. It’s only 45 minutes which seems short for the show. Also the Second Hand White Baby Grand Reprise has cut dialogue at the beginning.

I think their story would make a fascinating bio-musical too, but am excited for their music on stage in any capacity.

I would also like to see Timmy do a new play. He was supposed to do 4000 Miles in London in Summer 2020, so that makes me believe he would do a new work in the future. I wouldn't mind seeing him do Shakespeare, but would honestly prefer it in the park and not repeat what Othello is doing.

I'm trying to find out what category Sherie ended up being eligible for, but according to a NYPost article, Disney wanted her in featured, and nobody was above the title. From April 2000, "Meanwhile, Disney is asking that Sherie Rene Scott, one of the stars of “Aida,” be put up in the Featured Actress in a Musical category. The reason is simple: Heather Headley, another “Aida” star, has a lock on the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical."It was also a pretty controversial year regarding Contact...

The Classic Stage Co. lists a run time of 85 minutes, but I’m wondering if that includes the standard five-minute-or-so buffer at the beginning. I’ll be in from out of town and will have to catch the train right after."I want to say the 7:30 showing was over at 8:57? Could be conflating it with another performance, though.

If it’s A Little Night Music I hope we get Sierra Boggess and Emily Skinner reprising their performances from Barrington Stage

Summer, 1976 is doing a lot better than most MTC shows. The best weeks they’ve seen since The Little Foxes if I’m not mistaken.

All of my friends (21-28 ish) have seen Normal People and love Mescal… I don’t think any of them know what Killing Eve or who Jodie is. Not that the audiences would be the same but I think Paul would sell very well in New York.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "God, Jesse Green really went for the jugular with this one, basically daring the show to defy the critics and be a success (which he knows it won't be).Aside from the nice words about Carolee & Grace, perhaps the kindest thing about his review is that he didn't talk about Linedy's performance. The singular quote about her: "a series of effortful numbersGenao sings bravely""Patti LuPone said something like, it’s worse to be ignored than to be trashed.

Poor Carolee. Always the shining moment in dull show.
