OK, the show is growing on me. And not only me, obviously other people like it as well - the cast recording of In the Heights debuted at #1, and, well, there is the whole Best Musical thing.
Visit the Heights
Broadway.com has a charming little video where Lin-Manuel Miranda takes you backstage of In the Heights […]
I know, you were all so stumped you weren’t able to figure out the clues to who said what, so here are the answers. Remember, the choices for celebrity quotes were: John Lithgow, Kristin Chenoweth, Brooke Shields, L. Ron Hubbard, and Gray Miller (well known B5Media Entertainment blogger, dontcha know).
Here are the quotes, and who […]
At the Tony Awards last night several A-List Broadway (and TV and Film) personalities if they had any advice for Katie Holmes in her upcoming role in the straight-play revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. Rather than tell you about it, let’s play a match-up game: match which star said what to her.
“She’s a […]
In a word, disappointed.
Passing Over Passing Strange
One award: best book of a musical. Now, don’t get me wrong - Stew is probably quite pleased to have gotten that. He’s on record as saying that he considers himself first a musician, and that the idea of getting a Tony is pretty far removed from most musicians.
Maybe […]
Avenue Q (winner of the 2004 Tony for Best Musical) has been making the rounds of my friends of late. I confess to being kind of surprised that it took them so long; my friends, even the ones not from NYC, tend to be pretty aware of current issues and trends, and the Sesame Street […]
Next Sunday it’s the Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall. I’ve talked about a lot of them here on the blog, and you can catch a lot of the musical numbers in various places on the web such as YouTube. But here are the ones that are my favorite:
Passing Strange - I can’t say […]
It’s a banner day on Broadway, especially for some of the stories I’ve been tracking on this blog.
Stew Gets an Obie for Passing Strange
I wrote recently how musician and auteur Stew had garnered no fewer than seven Tony nominations - but there’s more out there than Tony. The Village Voice also gives out its own […]
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 […]
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 […]
While my attention is happily distracted by the joy of Dancing with the Stars (it’s interesting! It’s exciting! I can like Bruno and Carrie again!) there is some news from the original reality/talent show American Idol:
MARIAH CAREY, DOLLY PARTON, NEIL DIAMOND AND ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER TO MENTOR FINALISTS AND PERFORM ON “AMERICAN IDOL”
Whaddaya mean, “mentor”?
Apparently […]
