“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m…” Always loved that Beatles song. And I confess, with four daughters, I’m pretty confident at least one of them will care for me when I’m 64. Or 80, for that matter, which is how old Faye Wright’s mother is now.
And the star of […]
Correction: While having lunch with Douglas Rosenberg today, he corrected one fact that was not clear in my recent post about John Henry. While it is true that John Henry never actually served in Vietnam, he was in the army, and served honorably; the interesting thing is that the metaphor of the war and combat […]
In the tradition of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, the new David Mamet play, November, is set just a few days before a presidential election. While having the site be a pseudo-official campaign site, complete with “Vote Now!” buttons, it’s also very entertaining. You also don’t have to watch too much to be […]
OK, relax. It’s a headline trick to catch your attention - there’s nothing actually wrong with the High School Musical craze.
Yes, that’s right, I said craze. While it may be considered this generation’s Grease, and while Zac Efron may be the new John Travolta, it’s kind of like the story about Katie Holmes on Broadway […]
In a recent web interview, Stephen Sondheim was asked which of his musicals he’d like to see next put on the silver screen. His response was almost comical in its helpless-before-the-wheels-of-success attitude: “ It’s not so much a question of which I would like to see, rather which I think would lend itself..There is a […]
My colleagues over at the Music channel have been running a “Soundtrack of the Day” series, where various music bloggers will list songs that they carry with them through the day. I thought of my iPod, and the things on it that make me think of the Great White Way. Here’s the top 5:
Loathing from […]
This post is just for my friend Karl: After a triumphant Broadway run, Jennifer Garner is currently working with Kevin Kline on a TV version of their 10-week smash hit Cyrano de Bergerac.
While sceptics may roll their eyes at the idea of Edmund Rostand’s classic story of swashbuckling hearts being put on the boob tube, […]
I realize that I may seem a little obsessed about Mary Poppins right now, strange during Dancing With the Stars season, but it is necessary. I’m crestfallen at Penn Jillette’s abysmal scores, his massive feet not as fleet as I’d hoped. There is some satisfaction at Adam Carolla’s similarly abysmal performance, but it doesn’t quite […]
Don’t get your hopes up, as I did. It was just a backstage benefit/tribute honoring Disney Studio executive Robert Iger and star Annette Bening. The focus was entirely on them that night at the Geffen Playhouse in Chicago.
Still, there is something very poignant and wonderful about Julie Andrews (who chaired the event) and Dick Van […]
In the realm of “Broadway Cast Albums I’d Like to Own” is the chance to hear crooner Harry Connick Jr. playing the role of Jimmy in the remake of Gershwin’s Oh, Kay! You may not have heard of the musical, but it was the source of perennial torch song favorite Someone to Watch Over Me.
