GOOD NEWS! Mahagonny is being taped for PBS!

Posted: 3/3/07 at 4:12pm

I'm happy to announce that we are taping "The Rise and Fall of Mahagonny" for PBS and possible DVD release.

Now, those of you who wanted to see Patti and Audra will not miss out!

I'll let you know the details as they are announced.

There is a God.
"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

Contracts were all signed and they filmed night before last and will do so again tomorrow, on closing night.

Audra looks stunning and Patti is tearing into her role like a tiger.

How do you know this TheatreDiva? Not doubting you or anything, just curious. re: GOOD NEWS! Mahagonny is being taped for PBS!

I can't wait! To tell you the truth, I haven't been keeping up with this show, but I can't wait to see it.

Having seen this production, I am THRILLED that it is going to be preserved, and that more people will get to experience it. Not just for Patti and Audra's wonderful performances (Audra, especially, was fierce), but because of John Doyle's quite brilliant direction.

And for those of us who love Audra, Patti, Doyle and this opera (not necessarily in that order), this is especially good news!

Yes, Kyle is right.

I'm working on the production (Patti shoved me a little last time.. I'm in heaven).

Kyle, you were the first person I thought of when they told us they were filming...

You missed it.

Everyone's been watching it without you.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I saw the closing performance of "Mahagonny" at The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and was very disappointed. It was just....so....soo....bad. A very odd "opera." As we all know Patti L & Audra M are incredibly talented women. Even they couldn't rise above the material. It's just a bad show.

I couldn't wait for it to be over.

To each his own, I suppose. A very disappointing day at the theatre for me.
