On Friday night at the Eagle Bar in L.A., I met Kevin Chamberlin, who played Uncle Fester. Great guy.

Posted: 8/1/11 at 1:55pmI saw this show recently with Roger Rees and Brooke Shields...overall it is a fun show, the first act a lot more fun than the second. Morticia is such a thankless role, though. I will feel sad if anyone notable wastes their time with this role.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 10/11/11 at 11:11pmThe show that some of us saw on Broadway will not be the version presented here. The north American tour opened with a new book and score. With more changes to come.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 10/13/11 at 7:37pmAs far as I can tell, it's the ONLY show playing on Christmas Eve (a 2pm matinee).
#35Addams Family
Posted: 10/16/11 at 5:42pmFOLLIES is also playing at that time...I would recommend it over THE ADDAMS FAMILY (or perhaps any other show on Broadway at the moment :P).

Posted: 10/25/11 at 8:10pmWe are seeing FOLLIES -- front row. I was just saying that IF we decide to see a show on Christmas Eve, the ONLY option is ADDAMS FAMILY because nothing else is playing. I suspect everyone is using the day to get home to their families and to prepare for Christmas Day.

Posted: 11/9/11 at 5:38pmI think Caroline O'Connor would be ideal but I have no objection to Marina.

Posted: 11/11/11 at 8:57amI'd object to Marina Prior as she CAN'T DO COMEDY!!! John Waters has been offered Gomez.
#40Addams Family
Posted: 11/12/11 at 8:38amI love John Waters. HAIRSPRAY is my favourite. He even looks like Gomez with than pencil-thin moustache.

Posted: 1/27/12 at 7:49amThings have gone very quiet on this. Is it still happening? Maybe the Broadway production closing and so so box office returns of the U.S. tour have had an effect on the local outlook.

Posted: 2/12/12 at 7:37pmThe Sydney season will be limited to around 18 to 20 weeks as that turd of a show The Lion King reopens at the Capitol in DEC 2013

Posted: 2/14/12 at 9:04pmWise. Finally local producers are realising that you can't play a show for 9-12 months in Sydney or Melbourne. Next we have to make them realise we just don't want to sit up the back in 2,200 seat theatres and pay $140 for the privilage.

The Regent is the worst. B reserve for the 4 rows at the back of the balcony. And it's barely cheaper than A reserve.
And since when was row S at Her Maj considered A reserve?

Chewy, was that for A Chorus Line?
Alter, glad to see as well they are going back to limited 3-6 month runs.
