Today is Sunday, December 11, marking the official opening night performance of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, the 1965 Broadway musical, now reincarnated for star Harry Connick Jr. The revised revival plays the St. James, following previews from November 12, under the direction of Michael Mayer.
The show, as previously mentioned, stars Harry Connick, Jr., who is joined by Jessie Mueller as Melinda and David Turner as David Gamble, Kerry O'Malley as Sharone, Drew Gehling as Warren, Sarah Stiles as Muriel, Paul O'Brien, Heather Ayers, Lori Wilner, Benjamin Eakeley, Alex Ellis, Kendal Hartse, Grasan Kingsberry, Tyler Maynard, Zachary Prince, Alysha Umphress, Philip Hoffman, Sean Allan Krill, Patrick O'Neill and Christianne Tisdale.
Here's how the show id described: "Love blooms in unexpected places in the delightfully reimagined world of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Still in love with his deceased wife, Dr. Mark Bruckner (Harry Connick, Jr.), a dashing psychiatrist and professor, unknowingly takes on the case of his life with David Gamble (David Turner), a quirky young florists' assistant. While putting David under hypnosis to help him quit smoking so he can move in with his perfect boyfriend Warren (David Gehling), Dr. Bruckner stumbles upon what he believes to be David’s former self — a dazzling and self-possessed 1940s jazz singer Melinda Wells (Jessie Mueller). Instantly intrigued by Melinda, Dr. Bruckner finds himself swept up in the pursuit of an irresistible (and impossible) love affair with this woman from another time and place, who may or may not have ever existed."
Best to all involved!

Posted: 12/11/11 at 4:58pmEven though the show has it's press night tonight, the press reviewers would of seen the show in previews, which give them more time to write their vitriolic venom, ready for the next days edition. Do reviewers attend the official press night?

Posted: 12/11/11 at 9:59pmVariety says that "Lerner seems to have been rewritten by an uncredited hand, and clumsily so"...again I ask: Who is this clumsy, uncredited lyricist?

So far, it appears the day wasn't as clear as was advertised.
And who re-writes Alan Jay Lerner?

"He [Connick] has the look of a man just out of grueling dental surgery, who is both in pain and still semi-anesthetized."

Posted: 12/11/11 at 10:32pmI'm going January 18th. Will it be here? I think not. Will Harry want to stay in a turkey? I am certain he will not. All sad, because who didn't want this to be wonderful?
