Rushing @carouselbway today was a good idea, even if Renée Fleming was out for the matinee. #Playbill #CarouselBway #Carousel #JoshuaHenry #JessieMueller (at Imperial Theatre, 45th St, Times Square.)

Carousel 07/03

HELLO ALL!!

I have just seen Carousel (shoutout to those rush tickets) and let me tell you, I think it is SO WORTH SEEING. It’s really great to see Jessie singing more classically and it’s just so great. You know from the very start that it deserved best choreography.

I don’t want to go into too much detail as I don’t want to spoil anything, but Nicholas Belton was on for Billy (where’s my Comet friends out there) and I’m in AWE of him. He is so talented and was flawless in this role. That is all.

There was another understudy on today for Nellie? Nettie? Her name was one of those but I’m too tired rn, but she was SO GOOD guys GO SEE THE UNDERSTUDIES. That is all.

there is so much talk in the ways we don't talk in the ways we / turn towards each other in the ways i / know you watch me in the ways i hear you / pick up things you saw i dropped in the way of / how i waver and why you ride the waves of it i am sending light in all directions all because these things are done to me and we are the ones we've been waiting for but you are the one who sees me as a wanting thing a sea-glass string on the long brown line you took your metaphor and made it mine (and i don't have cheekbones that fluff off like yours do but jesus, i want to, i want to)

Happy #worldtheatreday @greatcometbway was the very first broadway musical I saw when I arrived in New York. It was a gorgeous show that I’m grateful I got to see the weekend it closed. I had originally planned to see Hamilton for my birthday in March. In fact, I’d ordered the tickets before I moved. But when I found not outrageously priced tickets to see Michael Luwoye return to the Rodgers, I couldn’t pass it up. It surpassed my expectations. @spongebobbway was my happy place. Having a bad day? Crazy roommate? Didn’t get the job? Seeing Spongebob was the answer. I’ll always be sad it closed too early. It was pure joy and a stellar company. I’ll be first in line to see what all of them do next. @carouselbway was heartbreaking for me. Having just lost my dad in November, and going into this show blind was a surprise to say the least. Themes of death & fatherhood had me sobbing from ‘Soliloquy’ all the way to the end. Joshua Henry broke me in the best possible way that night. @hohmusical opening weekend during Pride was phenomenal. Another show that closed too early, and I hope it has a chance to spread its message and love. The company was everything, and seeing Bonnie Milligan on stage playing a princess who was was my size? And wasn’t the butt of jokes? And who loves a woman? Outstanding. I always say that I need a less expensive hobby, and I might have to eat more instant ramen than I should (yay for being a broke grad student), but I’m extremely grateful that theater gives me something more than pure entertainment. Here’s hoping I can find a way to mash my degree and theater together for a career. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhoBU-jVR4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ltx03y14habd

The Week in NY Reviews and Previews

Chaunte Wayans and Adina Verson in Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties

Collective Rage

The full title of “Collective Rage,” Jen Silverman’s playful, bawdy, and episodic genderqueer/feminist/lesbian comedy about five women named Betty, is 47 words long. Only once does it include the word “pussy.”  That’s not true of the play as a whole. In 19 scenes over 90 minutes, the characters say “pussy” far more than they say, or express, “rage.”…But “Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties” etc. is not (just) out for some schoolyard impudence. The five good actresses playing the  Betties deliver some memorable moments of oddness and hilarity….

Stars in the Night

Although billed as “an intimate immersive production,” what “Stars in the Night” actually offers, at its best, is the exact opposite — a spectacular public setting. An audience of no more than a dozen at a time are led through several locations indoors and outdoors in DUMBO, a Brooklyn neighborhood that feels inherently theatrical…Unfortunately, most of the show’s characters, portrayed by eight members of the Los Angeles-based company Firelight Collective, are not much more developed than those passersby. The story they act out is vague, arty, cliched and confusing….

The First Annual Trump Family Special

Trump Fatigue

“I think there has been a growth in Trump fatigue,” says Tony Stinkmetal, who admits that he himself shares it — which is why it’s surprising that he has created a show called “SlashR” that’s  been promoted as an “outrageous, sexy, and bloody political satire that massacres Trump and the current era of American politics.” It is one of at least three Trump-related satires currently on New York stages with brief or sporadic runs….

Book: Lulu The Broadway Mouse

Jenna Gavigan made her Broadway debut at age 16 as a member of the ensemble in the 2003 revival of Gypsy…Now she has written “Lulu the Broadway Mouse” (Running Press Kids), a book geared to readers age 9 to 12, about a young mouse named Lucy Louise who wants to be a star on Broadway….What the book does best is share some backstage lore and life – some of it well-known (never say “Good luck,” or “Macbeth” in a theater), some more obscure, at least to me, such as that Broadway actors have to buy their own makeup…

After 25 years, Theater Talk is coming to an end, thanks to a dispute with CUNY TV. “To me, it’s an art project. I don’t see a vision in going corporate or having overseers,” says host and executive producer Susan Haskins (Can’t you guys work it out?!)

Cynthia Nixon, 12-time Bway actress, two-time winner, and life-long activist New Yorker lost her bid to be the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York.

Thank you all for believing and fighting and leaving it all on the field.

We started something here in New York, and it doesn’t end today.

This is just the beginning. And I know that together, we will win this fight.

  R.I.P.

Marin Mazzie, 57, Theater Hall of Famer ( on Broadway: ‘Ragtime,”‘Kiss Me, Kate’ plus nine more), after a three year battle with cancer, during which she kept on performing. Condolences to her husband & frequent acting partner Jason Daniel.

Broadway lights will be dimmed Wednesday Sept 19 at 6:45 p.m in her memory, at the Al Hirschfeld, Broadhurst, Gershwin, Gerald Schoenfeld, St. James, and Nederlander Theaters (What’s with the Broadway League’s new policy of dimming the lights only in a handful of Broadway theaters when a Broadway luminary dies? Did I miss the memo?)
