Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1D

Okay, so, I'll be honest here. Jackie Hoffman and Tovah Feldshuh are vocally pro-Israel. Like, attend rallies, sign asinine letters, and talk shit online Zionism. And while pretty much everyone in this damn tournament hasn't exactly been out on the ground doing work to Free Palestine, this is particularly egregious. I don't want to have to deal with these two for another round. So, third option, we throw Lea Salonga in and see what happens.

I learned the hard way. For a deal to be good, there has to be equal consideration and there is no way you could cough up enough consideration to justify a deal for him!

“On Sunday, actress Tovah Feldshuh celebrated her 50 years on Broadway at an intimate party at Civilian Hotel. Alongside Joe Benincasa (President and CEO of the Entertainment Community Fund), the Broadway legend announced that to honor her 50 years in the industry, she has partnered with the Entertainment Community Fund to create The Feldshuh Fund for Women’s Health, which will provide services for early detection of ovarian and other reproductive cancers for women in the performing arts and entertainment community.

On hand to celebrate the occasion were Funny Girl co-stars Ramin Karimloo, Jared Grimes, Julie Benko, Anne Nathan, and more.” [x]

Irena's Vow

I have many heroes from WWII: Anne Frank, Irena Sendler, Stefania Podgorska, Oskar Schindler…just to name a few. Back in my teens or early twenties, I was reading “Sister Freaks,” by Rebecca St. James and stumbled across a woman of faith I never heard of before: Irene Gut Opdyke. I did further research on line and learned there was a book I just had to read! When I read her story, I wanted to cry for all she did and all she had been through, but she kept the faith and persevered.

Irene Gut Opdyke (born Irena Gut, 5 May 1922 – 17 May 2003) was a Polish nurse who gained international recognition for aiding Polish Jews persecuted by Nazi Germany during World War II. She was honored as a Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem for risking her life to save twelve Jews.

That’s just a small bit from the Wikipedia article on her. You can find the complete version here. But don’t stop there, read her book: “In My Hands” to read her full story. You can buy it at Amazon.

“No matter how many Holocaust stories one has read, this one is a must, for its impact is so powerful.”–School Library Journal, starred I did not ask myself, “Should I do this?” but “How will I do this?” Through this intimate and compelling memoir, we are witness to the growth of a hero. Much like The Diary of Anne Frank, In My Hands has become a profound testament to individual courage. You must understand that I did not become a resistance fighter, a smuggler of Jews, a defier of the SS and the Nazis, all at once. When the war began, Irene Gut was just seventeen: a student nurse, a Polish patriot, a good Catholic girl. Forced to work in a German officers’ dining hall, she learns how to fight back. One’s first steps are always small: I had begun by hiding food under a fence. Irene eavesdropped on the German’s plans. She smuggled people out of the work camp. And she hid twelve Jews in the basement of a Nazi major’s home. To deliver her friends from evil, this young woman did whatever it took–even the impossible.

Her story was later told on Broadway, in a play called “Irena’s Vow.” Tovah Feldshuh portrayed Irena.

And now Irena’s story is told in a new movie by the same name. She is portrayed by Sophie Nélisse, who played Liesel Meminger in “The Book Thief” years ago. Check out this article about it!

“Irena’s Vow” was recently shown at TIFF – Toronto International Film Festival and you can vote for it here, to be picked up and shown at theaters! Please share this info, Irena’s story should continue to be told.

Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)

Here she is boys, here she is world. Here's Rose from Gypsy (8)

Tyne Daly (Broadway revival, 1989 - 42) Patti LuPone (Broadway revival, 2008 - 59) Tovah Feldshuh (Bristol, 2011 - 63) Bernadette Peters (Broadway revival, 2003 - 63) Carolee Carmello (Sacramento, 2018 - 56) Julia Murney (Cape Playhouse, 2017 - 48) (no audio) Beth Leavel (The Muny, 2018 - 63) Betty Buckley (Paper Mill Playhouse - 45)

The most coveted role for (non-soprano) women in musical theatre canon. Mama Rose, the ultimate stage mother, was originated by Ethel Merman in 1959. With Ethel's foghorn belt still audible in the distance even today, Rose has some of the most iconic solo numbers to ever grace musical theatre canon. Everyone has their personal favorite Rose, and everyone will fight to the death for her.

Other Rose's include: Angela Lansbury (Broadway, 1979), Imelda Staunton (West End, 2015), Bette Midler (Film, 1993), and Rosalind Russel (1962).

The real tragedy of Season 2 is that Pauline Mackenzie was killed just when Darius wanted to resign as VP. I can't help but feel forever sorry for him.

Film after film: Armageddon Time (dir. James Gray, 2022)

"The Trump family is our family" is a cool one-liner for this low-key and underwhelming film that talks about complex manifestations of racism in the early 1980s USA. There's a lot of good stuff here: sharp and short appearances from icy-cold capitalist-pioneer Chastain (in the role of Donald Trump's older sister) and cuddly, emotionally punchy Hopkins in slightly off-type supporting roles, the presence of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's phenomenal mother, Feldshuh, here hidden under the hefty makeup and hairdo, as well as limited screen time, unfortunately. The lead and the actor playing his school friend (Repeta and Webb, who could be given more screen time) both deliver, yet their story, while super interesting, suffers due to the massive focus on the former. Gray does the clichéd thing: he focuses on the character that is torn between teenage friendship and the white-racist privilege that his parents seem eager to soak him in, and he pushes the other one to the background, therefore perpetuating the social injustice he seems to be invested in exploring. The great cinematography is by Darius Khondji, who finally has another (only his second!) shot at an Oscar.
