Thanks for the lemonade, harris!
tazber: It's light, fluffy, silly, GOOFY even, and just plain fun. You'll love it.
bdwaygirl: You know, I tend not to write "reviews," per se. I have friends and/or know people in almost everything I go to see, and it feels weird to "review" stuff, since I know how hard everyone is working up there, etc. So, no, I haven't. :-P
I will tell you I saw
Legally Blonde, Spring Awakening, Seussical (the 90 minute version that TheaterWorksUSA is doing at the Lucille Lortel),
Xanadu, Bukowsical (at the Fringe Festival),
Summer Mix Tape (Daniel Reichard's cabaret at Joe's Pub),
Spelling Bee, and
Drowsy Chaperone. I liked all of them, but I have to say,
Drowsy and
Xanadu were my absolute favorites. John Glover is fantastic as Man In Chair, Beth Leavel definitely deserved her Tony, and Mara is kicking @$$ as Janet Van De Graaff!
I loved all the performances in
Spelling Bee, and liked the show itself quite a bit, but I think I liked the performances more than the actual show.
Legally Blonde was surprisingly entertaining. (And Michael Rupert's awesome in the show.) I was let down by
Spring Awakening, and I'm not sure why. Bukowsical is raunchy to the point of ridiculousness, and although I found myself entertained at points, the cast was rather uneven, so certain numbers just fell flat. Suessical is sweet. And it's free, so you can't beat that.
And as for the cabaret, Daniel has a gorgeous voice!
