Suddenly Everyone Bursts into Song

I would love to see this happen in person sometime. The world needs more singing and dancing, don’t you think?

Friday Geek Out: Falsettos
Falsettos, written by William Finn and James Lapine, hit Broadway in the Spring of 1992. Falsettos is composed of two one-act shows that had previously run off-Broadway—March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland. The show covers two years, 1979 in the first act and 1981 in the second, in the lives of a group of friends: [...]

Friday Geek Out: All That Jazz
Bob Fosse made a movie all about himself with 1979’s All That Jazz. Roy Scheider played director/choreographer/writer Joe Gideon. The parallels to Fosse’s live are unmistakable. Fosse had a heart attack while working on his 1973 film Lenny, which is portrayed here. The stage show Fosse worked on in the same time frame was Chicago, [...]

Cry-Baby
We took in the last of our annivesary week shows this afternoon. We thought we were going to see A Catered Affair, but it wasn’t on tkts yesterday so we picked up Cry-Baby tickets instead. Since this is the latest musical based on a John Waters film it was on our list of shows to [...]

Friday Geek Out: Center Stage
I’m not sure what spurred this run of dance movies (maybe the return of Dancing with the Stars), but it has been fun and I’ve got one for this week too. Back in 2000, Center Stage was released.
It’s sort of like Fame as students work to get into a program at American Ballet Academy (which [...]
Friday Geek Out: Fame
Last week I wrote about the 80s dance movies. There is one more, but it deserves special treatment because of the mini-empire it spawned. Fame is the forerunner to the High School Musical craze of today.
Fame started out as a film in 1980. It followed the high school careers of a group of students at [...]
Friday Geek Out: 80s Dance-o-Rama
The 80s were great for a lot of things, especially dancing at the movies. In the span of just five years we had three iconic movies: Flashdance (1983), Footloose (1984) and Dirty Dancing (1987). I, of course, loved them all.
Flashdance was the story of a welder/stripper who really wanted to be a dancer. She managed [...]
In the Heights
It was a fantastic afternoon seeing In the Heights, a new-to-Broadway show that just began previews Thursday night. The show, which played a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run last summer, vibrates with a fantastic energy from start to finish and is infused with great Latin rhythms and dance. The show takes place on a street corner [...]

Friday Geek Out: Newsies
Long before High School Musical there was another Disney musical directed by Kenny Ortega (it was his feature film directorial debut coming off his stint as choreographer on Dirty Dancing) that featured teens singing, dancing… and staging a strike against New York’s newspapers. Newsies, from 1992, was based on a real 1899 [...]
