Anyone Seeing APPLAUSE!

Posted: 1/15/08 at 10:50pm

Is anyone here seeing City Center's APPLAUSE!? I'm thinking about going and I'm wondering if I should go- are City Center's productions usually well done?

Go.

It's always fun, whether or not it's a good show.

You are seeing top talent and the reason that talent come to NYC to express it.

Always the social and theater event of the season.

PS...does anyone else think the Applause artwork looks a little like Princess Diana?

I will be at the invited dress as well!

And I just think the artwork is cheesy.

Well, I wasn't "invited" to the dress rehearsal, but I did pay for my nosebleed ticket for closing night. Couldn't be more excited about seeing Erin Davie as Eve Harrington and seeing Kate Burton live for the first time, she's a legend.
I have seen two productions at City Center, FOLLIES and GYPSY. Both were top-notch productions that were better than most shows running on Broadway at the time. FOLLIES in particular felt like I was watching a once-in-a-lifetime event, it was THAT well-produced, well-cast, and well-directed. Ever since then I made the promise to go to at least one Encores! show per season in order to support them.

Can't wait. The Enocres! shows are usually the highlight of my theater season and to witness the professionalism on the stage with so little rehearsal time is just mind-blowing. I'm looking forward to seeing Ebersole, Davie, Cantone, and Burton share the stage.

I'm jealous.

I've never seen this show, but I've always been curious, as Tams-Witmark always had that wonderful picture of Lauren Bacall next to it. You know the one...

Have fun! Guess I'll have to wait a while longer to catch this one!

I agree - the artwork is cheesy and she does look like Diana.

I'm going closing night too, Ray. I'm looking forward to it.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Yup. I'm going to the Saturday matinee because I always enjoy the post-show discussion. Save for one or two, I've seen every Encores production from the past five years. Some are better than others, but it's almost always a blast. They seem to have hit their stride over the past two or three years, with great revivals of OF THEE I SING, FOLLIES, FACE THE MUSIC and PARDON MY ENGLISH, and the terrific original revue from last season, STAIRWAY TO PARADISE.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Norn's artwork should be used for APPLAUSE? Oh puleeze.

Norn should be the go-to guy for EVERY show!

The artwork haunts me in my sleep. But I will still be there for the last performance at 6:30.

Only if they give the cartoon Christine Ebersole a breast lift.

I'm sure LuPone's photoshopper is available.

In all seriousness, I'd def. be there to see the re-teaming of Ebersole/Davie.
