Sondheim and Ives' HERE WE ARE at The Shed — Page 27

For the most part, BAM isn't a producing house, but a presenting one. I know because I was a part of a project in development in it's spaces and they were overjoyed to have people there making something, since usually everything that comes through is a tour and they need at most one rehearsal.

Michael Diamond Broadway's ''IT'' girl!

The Criterion Collection beautifully restored and distributed both films and they are very much worth watching. They also have Smiles of a Summer Night, the film A Little Night Music is based upon. Check them all out. :)"

The Bunuel films are on my September viewing list, before the commentary starts after the first preview (even though I won’t see Here We Are until mid-October). This show has finally given me the impetus to see these two famous movies, so that’s a plus regardless of how the stage production turns out. The only Bunuel film I have seen is Belle de Jour.

And I should catch Smiles of a Summer Night at some point.

From the character list on page 2:

FRITZ – Female (cis, trans, or non-binary), 25-35, any ethnicity. A political rebel from upper-middle-class Greenwich. Angry at the world. Lonely. Sulky. Self-Starved. Strong singer. Role requires vocal flexibility ranging from chatty belt to lyricism.

She also tagged several cast members in a photo from the original film, if anyone is familiar enough with it to determine the counterpart characters they're playing.

The first preview is now sold out.

Can't wait to see it, I'm already a fan

It was at the Union Square B&N talkback (for Look I Made a Hat, I think) that Stephen said the one production of his he would love to revisit again was Joe Mantello’s Roundabout production of Assassins so I know this vehicle is in the right hands (the emails featured in the article only make that point clearer).


With that said, I’ve watched the source material over the long weekend and can’t help thinking this would a great piece for Ivo van Hove. Perhaps abroad or a decade down the line, but what an explosive combination.

I watched both this weekend for the first time, and I have to respectfully disagree. I loved Discreet Charm and flew through it but I thought Angel tedious to the point of requiring multiple sittings. I’d previously seen the Adés opera Exterminating Angel at the Met and at Salzburg and loved it both times.

thanks, TotallyEffed!!!
