I am back from the revival of HOW TO SUCCEED, which I really enjoyed. I don't know Nick Jonas from Menudo, but he is really quite wonderful as Finch. I adored Beau Bridges who made mw smile every tme he appeared, and I loved his "chipmunk" bit. Michael Urie is really funny as Frump, and I was thinking what a good Cornelius he would be in HELLO DOLLY! if he follows the career of Charles Nelsob Reilly. My friend Ellen Harvey was a hoot as Miss Jones, and in the pit I saw my friends Scott Kuney and Grace Paradise. Larruy Goldberg, who was the MNYMF MD for "The Brain From Planet X" led the tiny but mighty band.
Whil I'm not a great fan of the director's over-choreographed numbers. and he really blew the use of the kazoos in "I Believe In You," I thought this revival head and shoulders over the one with Matthew Broderick.
Now I want to see it again.
