So You Think You Can Dance: Kherington & Twitch Do Contemporary

Jeff -

On the whole, this week’s So You Think You Can Dance was an unexpected clunker. I wasn’t thrilled by most of the performances. However, there was one stunning dance worth posting. Mia Michaels choreographed Kherington and Twitch in a contemporary number featuring “Dreaming with a Broken Heart” by John Mayer. Check out [...]

Friday Geek Out: James Joyce’s The Dead

Jeff -

I have a special fondness for some of the darker, serious, subtle, more intense musicals that were dominating Broadway when we first moved the NYC. SomeĀ  shows in this category include The Wild Party, Marie Christine, Ragtime and this week’s Geek Out choice James Joyce’s The Dead.
The Dead ran on Broadway from December 1999 to [...]

A Catered Affair

Jeff -

We finally saw A Catered Affair this afternoon. It’s been on our list of shows to see since it opened in April and it advanced to the top of the list a couple weeks ago when it was announced that it would close at the end of July. The show never quite caught on at [...]

Waterfalls & Flipping for Flip

We went over to the South Street Seaport today to grab lunch, hit tkts so we could see A Catered Affair tomorrow afternoon and to check out the new New York City Waterfalls that were installed this week. We saw three of the four waterfalls: Brooklyn Bridge, Pier 35 and the Brooklyn Piers (we couldn’t [...]

Blast From The Past

Brian posted a great piece from the Onion News Network… It took me back in time

I worked for a video store for around three years while I was in college. It loved that job… and it was certainly a simpler time. I didn’t work for a Blockbuster… and was happily already out of the video [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Chelsea Hip Hop

Jeff -

I haven’t been a fan the hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance. It’s usually the choreography rather than the performance that fails for me. This week it all changed. Mark & Chelsea got a hip hop routine (which was later clarified as a lyrical hip hop routine) and it was amazing. [...]

So You Think You Can Dance

Jeff -

Yes, we’ve started watching another dance show. I’m not a fan of the So You Think You Can Dance judges, except for the head judge who doesn’t get on my nerves. We tend to record and fast forward though the program just watching the dances, rehearsal footage and the elimination stuff. We can do the [...]

Reality Check

Jeff -

A couple of reality shows we’ve been watching wrapped up in the past couple weeks and they are worth commenting on.
Step it Up & Dance: I loved this show from the beginning. This show was so much better the Dance Wars. The cross section of dancers they brought in were great and it peeled down [...]

Sex and the City

Jeff -

May Movie Mania wrapped up this afternoon with Sex and the City (yes, I know it’s June 1… but the movie did open in May we just couldn’t get there until today).
This movie was pure bliss. I was a major fan of the series. I loved every minute of the series and the movie caps [...]
