Did Anyone See "A Bed & A Chair" At City Center Tonight? — Page 5

Then somebody needs to put him on a tire and shoot him through the roof.

Saw this Friday, and did not read Brantley's meh review first. Bernadette was in the best voice I've heard her in a long time, and that was a good enough reason to go. Jeremy amazed me, but not as excited by the other performers, and the "New York love affair" did not work at all for me. A bunch of cliched NYC projections do not make it about New York; with a few obvious exceptions ("Another Hundred People"), it could have been any big city USA. It was a mostly Broadway group of performers, backed by a great jazz orchestra, doing songs, cuddling in a bed, sitting on a chair and otherwise wandering aimlessly around the stage. Overall, I enjoyed SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM more, but neither show was a revelation.
