South Pacific: This thrilling new production has become the hottest ticket in town, and that's great news because this production is almost perfection, the musicians are fantastic and so is the cast, Kelli O'Hara deserved a Tony for her work as Nellie. (9/10)
Boeing Boeing: Or should I say "Boring Boring"?, well, although it is a funny play, and the actors are very good in it, I just find this play to be very dated, predictible and not shocking like it must have been years ago when it was 1st on Broadway. (4/10)
Gypsy: Patti LuPone gives a terrific performance, this classic brings you back to the old days, but I felt like it dragged at moments. The audience loved it, and it was nearly sold out. Patti's voice was in perfect shape, what a talented singer! (6/10)
Xanadu: This show was gay heaven, so much eye candy. Cheyenne Jackson is one of the best male singers I've heard. Kerry Butler is perfect for her part, and Curtis Holbrook rocked the house with his dancing and his tap number, such a cutie!
Mary Testa and Whoopi Goldberg were very funny, Whoopi can't sing to save her life, but you can tell she joined the show to have fun, and not to take it too seriously. Marty Thomas was amazing as well. The best show on Broadway? No way, but it's the most fun I've had in awhile. (8/10)
A Chorus Line: This show is perfection, I do think it's the best show currently on Broadway, too bad it's saying goodbye in a week. Mario Lopez was quite a surprise, I thought he nailed the role of Zack. Charlotte D'Amboise's last Tony-nominated performance as Cassie shows what a real Broadway diva is all about. Her acting, dancing, singing was perfect. The audience went crazy with her number. Im glad I got to witness this legendary performance with 2 BWW members. The entire cast was brilliant. (10/10)
The Fantasticks: This show is the longest running show in history for a reason, it's fantastic! The songs written by Tom Jones are terrific, and so is the music by Harvey Schmidt. Dennis Parlato reprises the role of El Gallo perfectly, John Thoman Waite, Michael Nostrand and Gene Jones are really perfect in every way(they all performed roles in the previous version of The Fantasticks at the Sullivan), Steven Routman was great, and newcomers Margaret Anne Florence, her acting skills, her youth, and rising soprano made the perfect Luisa, and Jordan Nichols, who played Matt, was terrific, his voice and acting were excellent, and being a cutie doesn't hurt either. Im thrilled to see this magical piece of American theatre, selling out on a Monday night. Audiences from all over the world filled The Snapple Theatre on Broadway and 50th.(10/10)
Title of Show: Very original new musical, with inspiring acting. Great show, very simple, and I loved it eventhough I usually enjoy larger casts and full orchestrations.(8/10)
