With the new Night Music reviews coming out this Sunday (and presumably, critics in this week), is he going to cover it, or will Isherwood be revisiting the production?

Isherwood will be reviewing the show, and his review will appear in the NYT on Monday, August 2.

When he's done swooning over how much better everything is in London. His re-review of LEGALLY BLONDE was absolutely nauseating.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

However, I do hear that LEGALLY BLONDE - which I found to be a damn fun time here in NYC - is far more fun in London.

Brantley hasn't jizzed this much over a blonde musical theater leading lady since Melanie Griffith in CHICAGO.

It will be interesting to see if Isherwood focuses primarily on Peters & Stritch or if he re-examines his earlier opinions of the production and supporting cast.

I'll take Brantley over Isherwood any day. Taste comes into question when Million Dollar Quartet gets a better review than Lend Me A Tenor.

"I'll take Brantley over Isherwood any day. Taste comes into question when Million Dollar Quartet gets a better review than Lend Me A Tenor."

I actually thought, as did the audience that I was part of, that Million Dollar Quartet was extremely entertaining. I guess that means I have no taste.

There is a difference between entertainment and great theatre.

The Broadway Doctor assesses the success of Legally Blonde in London, and its failure on Broadway.
