SWEET CHARITY Revival — Page 7

Granted it is a blurry pic but I would say it looks WORSE there.

Wish I could see this when I'm in the city, but it's just too expensive for a 6 piece brass-less band.

I was there last night and pretty much echo what everyone has been saying. This is a great production of a great show. Sutton Foster is a dynamite, a firecracker, and just a joy to watch from beginning to end. I have seen Sutton Foster on stage a few times, and she has never disappointed me. She is so talented, and it's so fun to see her take on a role that lets her show her comedic side.



I LOVED the set and costumes. This would make a great fit at the Circle in the Square (and I do hope this transfers there in the Spring). There was definitely a gritty edge to the physical production. My only gripe is that the orchestra is WAY too small. I think the local dinner theatre in my hometown had a bigger and more full sounding orchestra.



LOVEDLOVEDLOVED the ending they went with. It is chilling and fits the tone of the production perfectly. I would definitely recommend checking this out (if you can still get tickets).

and they claim it's the "final extension"

Sutton actually removes the wig on stage several times during the show to reveal a wig cap. She changes her wig when she is working, as do the other girls. It's a strange choice, and the wigs do look very cheap.

At least when I saw it, she only removed a wig (revealing a cap) when she quit in the dance hall, and I assumed that her usual wig was meant to be her "real" hair. I liked the moment.

Mr. Nowack--I didn't want to just flat-out say it in my initial report, just writing that this is a very familiar kind of stripped-down revival. But as soon as I walked in, I thought, "Oh, I'm at Cabaret."

stop extending the show and just announce a Broadway transfer already!!

I want this to transfer so badly! This would be such a great fit at the Circle in the Square.

I haven't seen it yet but I think this scaled down/bare bones version of the show would not work in a big Broadway house.

I'm still trying to imagine how "I'm A Brass Band" 'works' without any brass in the band...

That's what small Broadway houses are for......

Ha! Now why didn't I think of that!...lol!

Well what is Sutton's shooting schedule for her TV show? I assume one of the reasons this was debuted in a limited off Broadway season was that she has commitments that would keep her from doing a Broadway schedule this season.

I'm guessing she'll pull double duty (filming during the day, show at night) the last couple of weeks of the run, film for a few months, then have a late April opening on broadway.

It will still depend on her filming schedule though. "Younger" is extremely popular and may very well get renewed for a 5th season.

They could do the run during a hiatus in filming.

Anything is possible.

It looks like the show films in the late spring-early fall. So if she did come to Broadway this season, it would likely also have to be a limited run and perhaps transfer right away.
