Renee Taylor takes the Cortt??

From Cindy Adams this week: So — heading here is Renée Taylor with her late husband Joe Bologna’s comedy ” “My Life on a Diet.”

In ’86, it was moving — or at least inching — to the big screen. In ’87, the title became “My Life on a Diet: Confessions of a Hollywood Diet Junkie.”

Now, she says, “I’m coming to Broadway. A one-woman show. We’re looking for a theater. You have to see first what closes so I can’t say an opening date yet — but it’s this season.”

With Hangmen in abeyance.... Cort seems logical.

The Cort needs its renovation before ANYTHING else goes in.

I was a huge Renee Taylor fan before she did "The Nanny," which I think was a travesty of her talents as a comedienne. But the thought of seeing her sans her late husband Joseph Bologna in a Broadway play sounds too rare an opportunity to pass up. I read the reviews of their previous Broadway attempts and stayed away because of them not being favorable.

The best thing the Taylor-Bologna team every did besides getting married was their early film, "Made For Each Other,"

Being rather chubby myself, I could use some humorous jibes at maintaining a diet. Please don't overinflate the ticket prices for a one woman show. But I am sure that is what is motivating Ms. Taylor for her return to Broadway. She probably thinks she can command Bette Midler ticket prices.

Isn't THE PROM looking at the Cort for the fall?

This played a short run in Buffalo and they couldn't give away tickets in a 400 seat house. I love Renee, but putting this on Broadway is reaching. It's better suited for Theatre Row or New World for a limited run. I wish her all the best with it.

I’ve never heard of her.
