Say it isn’t so, Andrew.
Looks like Ben Elton, Glen Slater (of the Little Mermaid) and Sir Lloydd-Webber will be teaming up to pen a sequel - yes, that’s right, a sequel - to Phantom of the Opera.
While I have great faith in the talents of all three, this is much like Michael Bolton covering When […]
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, […]
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 what has got to be the oddest venue I’ve ever heard of, a group of actors are performing an award-winning play in the Bethesda Terrace bathrooms in Central park.
The appropriately-named Ladies & Gents, by Irish playwright Paul Walker, is actual more topical than it had expected to be. It’s about pious politicians who dally […]
When I was waxing rhapsodic about Raul Esparza’s lead in the PBS special of Stephen Sondheim’s Company, I neglected to really focus on the fact that he was also supported by a stellar cast.
Thankfully, BroadwayWorld.com has made up for it, with a fantastic interview with Barbara Walsh. A true gypsy who started in the kind […]
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.
The […]
Dancer, Choreographer, Former U.S. Marine, and founder of the Giordano Dance Company of Chicago died yesterday morning of pneumonia. He was 84. One of the great pioneers of jazz dance in this country, he studied with Hanya Holm, Katherine Dunham and Alwin Nikolais, as well as appearing on Broadway in Wish You Were Here and […]
or, : From Broadway to Virginia to Melbourne to Hometown, USA in search of a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
I had expected to write, today, about the revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, featuring Tony-award winning actors such as Phylicia Rashad, James Earl Jones, and Anika Noni Rose (all of whom are […]
The guy just keeps on bein’ an inspiration.
While people always talk about Dirty Dancing and Ghost, I remember first seeing Patrick Swayze in Red Dawn. Later I saw him in Steel Dawn, and to my teen eyes that kind of tough grace really imprinted deeply (ok, him and Gene Kelly).
Later I learned that he […]
It’s the end of an era: RENT is scheduled to end its Broadway run on June 1 of this year (though at least one extension of the run is almost inevitable.
