2008 Tony Predicitions
It’s been a great Broadway season. We’ve saw more shows this season than in the past couple because there was so much great stuff to see. Tonight’s Tony Awards should be very exciting to watch.
Yes, there are production numbers from the eight nominated musicals: Passing Strange, In the Heights, Xanadu, Cry-Baby, Grease, Gypsy, South Pacific [...]
Friday Geek Out: Falsettos
Falsettos, written by William Finn and James Lapine, hit Broadway in the Spring of 1992.

Big Bucks Required to See Harry Potter Blind Horses
Tickets for this fall’s staging of Equus starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths (he plays Harry’s uncle in the films) went on sale recently. I’m stunned at the top ticket price of $116.50. Even the cost to sit in the top/back of theatre is $61.50.
I realize this is a limited run (September through [...]

Gypsy
As part of our anniversary week of shows, this afternoon we took in the latest revival of Gypsy starring Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti and Boyd Gaines. It was an excellent way to spend the afternoon. As Will put it during intermission, this show is “pretty f***ing brilliant!”
This is our second Gypsy since we came to [...]
Les Liaisons Dangereuses
This afternoon we started our anniversary week of theatre with Les Liaisons Dangereuses, a new staging of Christopher Hampton’s 1987 play . We were attracted to this production because of its cast list featuring Laura Linney, Ben Daniels and Siân Phillips.
Of course, most Americans know this under its English name: Dangerous Liaisons, the 1988 Glenn [...]
Friday Geek Out: Seussical The Musical
With Horton Hears A Who on the big screen it seemed the perfect time to look at a live action Horton, along with other Dr. Seuss characters, that populated the 2000-01 musical Seussical the Musical. Among the show’s creators were Monty Python’s Eric Idle and along with Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, they created a [...]
