In the Sitzprobe video, there's a snippet from a song with the lyric: "my emeralds weighing me down..." sung by Anna Uzele.

What is that song and where is it from? I know I've heard it before and now that lyric is stuck in my head and Google is not helping me identify the lyric...

The tickets dropped a bit in price but still this isn't selling amazingly.

"I'm One of the Smart Ones"

I love the movie, and "Liza and DeNiro" had plenty of chemistry in it.

:Perhaps you should save your money on this and go see Shazam 2.

We'll see what we'd like as always. After you've seen it, you can offer your opinion. Thanks so much.

Same baby, same. It's like, have you seen him in TheGirl from Plainville with his shaved head? Or in Little Voice where he seranades a sad girl with his gorgeous voice in the rain? Ugh.

Brutally Hot. Can't wait to see this!"

I don't see it at all. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks I guess. << shrug >>

Do we have any idea on the runtime of this?

There is no reason this show should be charging $300 for front orchestra seats. It has zero buzz.

The running time is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes with one intermission, according to the show's website.

No reason at all - C list talent for what it's worth. No Stars at all! Hopefully someone gives a Vitamin B12 shot to Colton Ryan before he goes on as this dude needs some NRG...why so lethargic?  He always looks either stoned or has that just rolled out of bed look.

Start spreading the news.

The new musical New York, New York kicks off previews at the St. James Theatre tomorrow night (March 24), prior to an April 26 opening. This love letter to New York City features music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb with additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, book by David Thompson and Sharon Washington, and direction and choreography by Susan Stroman. Leading the principal cast are Colton Ryan, Anna Uzele, Clyde Alves, John Clay III, Janet Dacal, Ben Davis, Oliver Prose, Angel Sigala, and Emily Skinner.

“It is 1946, the war is over, and a resurgent New York is beginning to rebuild. As steel beams swing overhead, a collection of artists has dreams as big and diverse as the city itself. Among them is New York native Jimmy Doyle, a brilliant but disillusioned musician looking for his ‘major chord’ in life: music, money, love. The odds are against him getting all three until he meets Francine Evans, a young singer just off the bus from Philly, who is destined for greatness. If they can make it there, they can make it anywhere.”

Who’s gonna be a part of it?

 The 1977 film "New York, New York" was not, and has never been, considered a "colossal disaster."

Colossal disasters don't get theatrical re-releases with 11 minutes of restored footage four years later. Nor do they have month-long , extended sold-out runs at revival houses decades later (see: Metrograph) or repeated bookings at Quentin Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema in LA. Or, to underline this, uncut airings on TCM almost every year, usually in prime time.

And if Beetlejuice, School of Rock, Mean Girls, and the like can be turned into Broadway musicals, there is no reason on earth NYNY shouldn't be, especially considering the still-living talent involved here.

Go back and see Funny Girl. Someone will be in it.

Oh really?  Guess you never heard of a little gem called HEAVENS GATE?  Google it.


Now go back to your trolling.

Did anyone do the rush today? If so, what time did you get to the box office?

I know absolutely nothing other than what has been released so far, but I predict success.

Glad to see the always-funny Jim Borstelmann working again after 9 years away from Broadway.
