GASP. A post. If you've been checking this, well…I'm very sorry. I've been busy getting a new apartment; laying my darling (if occasionally troublesome) kitty, Ellie, to rest and adopting a new orange tabby named Lucy; packing up the old over-priced apartment to move to new/old Hell's Kitchen digs; and hosting the bro and sis for […]
Just do it:
Have I ever told you how much I love Les Mis?
It has something (everything?) to do with my parents shipping me off with my Aunt Lenore to see my cousins Sam and Eden play Gavroche and Cosette on the national tour in Pittsburgh when I was 7. (That's now-Emmy-winner Eden over to your right!) I can't say that […]
I do agree with all the snakes who complain that shows should not be reviewed until they've gone through their whole preview period, but I promised some thoughts on High Fidelity in Boston and so, here we go. Take it with a grain of salt — the show still has a month until it officially opens […]
My Fresh Face with the delightful Gavin Lee, who is playing Bert in Mary Poppins is now up on Broadway.com! (Click his kissy face.)
Gavin was engaging, friendly, welcoming and humble, as I hope you'll get from the piece. (He voice sounds eerily like Simon Cowell on my tape, though.) He made this one easy to write. […]
Much to the annoyance of Isaac, I've been away from the blog for a while…but I assure you it's been for good reason. This past week I put together a website for my good friend Marc! (How exciting!) You can see it here:
I find it very cute if I do say so myself. And you? […]
Spring Awakening is definitely the show I’m looking forward to most in the upcoming season. (Sorry High Fidelity.) You definitely need to watch this “music video” for the song, “The Bitch of Living.” (Yes, this is apparently how Broadway defines music video. Sorry, we’re not cool.)
Some lyrical highlights in case you don’t plan on watching it […]
I was nervous to see this one because In The Bedroom, which was also written and directed by Todd Field and came out back in 2001, truly disturbed me in a real violence sort of way. That’s the worst kind for me. BUT, my devotion to Patrick Wilson combined with the draw of the lovely […]
I owe a post. I’ve been busy. But get ready for a long one! This past weekend my mama (a recent empty nester since little bro Zack started this fall at Georgetown) drove up from good old Bowie, MD for some Q.T. with yours truly. The following is a blow-by-blow account of our adventure:
THURSDAY
We paid $86.25 a […]
Our fearless editor-in-chief, Paul Wontorek, just launched a truly fantastic blog over on Broadway.com: Stage Notes. I’m obsessed.
I’m pulling myself away for a few minutes now to head to the opening party for the New York Musical Theatre Festival (or NYMF), which I’ll also be blogging for in the coming weeks! Whew. More on that soon.
