We missed out on Sherie Rene Scott’s Everyday Rapture when it played the Second Stage Theatre last year. We’d wanted to see it because we love Sherie having seen her in shows like The Last Five Years, Aida and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. This is one more amazing performance for her resume and this time it [...]

Not only does Sondheim on Sondheim feature some of Stephen Sondheim’s most well known works, it also features songs that were cut from his hit shows. Add that to commentary and insight from the man himself culled from recent interviews and from historical archives and you’ve got a show that resembles something between a Sondheim [...]
The revival of the 1968 Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Neil Simon musical Promises, Promises received mix reviews when it opened last month, but I found it to be a delightful afternoon’s entertainment. Not only does it boast the always wonderful Kristin Chenoweth, but also a tremendous star turn from former Will & Grace co-star Sean Hayes. There’s [...]
Most everyone has seen the brilliant Muppets parody video of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The folks over at Avenue Q have now done their own tribute using “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” Check out the equally brilliant “We Will Rock Q.”
We travelled off-Broadway for our anniversary show (Saturday was the 15th anniversary of our first date).

The musical, like the book, chronicles the efforts of Dan and Terry [...]

When In The Heights premiered on Broadway on Valentine’s Day 2008 it brought a fresh, young vibe to Broadway. It also brought some hot choreography from Andy Blankenbuehler, who won a Tony Award for his efforts. Here’s a clip from “The Club” number that shows off his skills. You’ll note a similarity in theme here [...]
This clip could get me in hot water because so many people things Cats is a joke. It was among the first musicals I saw in live and it stuck. I’ve always liked the “Jellical Songs for Jellical Cats” number and it’s got some pretty groovy cat dancing too. Here is the Original Broadway Cast [...]

Feb 23, 2010 @ 4:30 am in Geek Out, TheatreSwing! opened on Broadway in November 1999 and ran for just over two years. It was a wonderful music and dance revue and Will and I loved it (and still miss this show becuase it was a go-to show for a good time). The production was nominated for six Tonys, including Best Musical as well [...]
