Alan Cummings always seems so pleased with himself

I saw Alan Cummings at Lincoln Center when we had our Doc Pomus NY premiere.

He was going to the film AFTER ours. I think he was in it, though, so I'll give him a pass...

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING THE TONYS:  1) Sometimes I feel like the last straight man in the American theatre 2)  There were so many old musical revivals, I kept waiting for The BLACK CROOK to be nominated for something 3) It's a sad statement when theatre legend set designer Ming Cho Lee's Life Time Achievement Award is reduced to a commercial seque blip 4) I kept thinking that I was just hearing the intro and kept waiting for the body of the song to begin during the KINKY BOOTS number.  People moving around on conveyor belts and shouting, "Let me hear you say yeah, yeah" ain't choreography or lyrics (but then I was rooting for Tim Minchin...a genius...and MATILDA). 5) Dear Broadway, please learn the difference between a musical theatre production and a concert. 6)Tracy Letts is a class act.

DR Cillaliz, I was happy to read that Callie's health may be okay, and I hope that continues to be the case.

Your experience with the raccoon reminded me of the night in 2008 when I discovered my apartment was infested with bedbugs. I suspect you are in for several difficult months and I wish you a huge success getting rid of them and in not losing too much money in the process.

Raccoons are easier to see

And much louder

Tom Hanks looks really bizarre with a mustache...

[Cillaliz]

If I went to NYC I would like to see Pippin, but not really thrilled about anything else from the show

[George]

And now I'm going to bed because we have our last sow then strike!  AND THEN THE TONYS!!

Last sow?  Are you doing Animal Farm the Musical?

Spoo. 

[Cillaliz]

Not sure I'm going to last much longer....night

[Charles Pogue]

And I love Motown songs - I just don't need to hear them in a bad musical.

 

Ditto!  And this cast sure as Hell can't sing or dance them as well.

[George]

George I am counting on you!!!

I have BOTH my DVRs set to record...just in case!

you are a kind and generous man  and I am a worthless leech... but a very very grateful  leech   

Vixmom, you are NOT a worthless leech!

[George]

I am now all caught up with all the posts!  Whew!

[Charles Pogue]

Game of Thrones is up for best musical?

It's probably only a matter of time...

[Ann]

This is what passes for Broadway musical numbers now??  It looks like Glee on a stage.  *sigh*

[TCB]

BRING IT OFF, THE MUSICAL

[Ann]

BRING IT OFF, THE MUSICAL

Well said

[vixmom]

48 days, 22 hours and 53 minutes.

First of all, the characters introductions are horrible.  A true nadir of a show that didn't need further nadirs.  But Bring It On?  If that's what musical theater is today, if that's what can get NOMINATED for Best Musical then I want out.  Horrible song, worse choreography, and does no composer, arranger, orchestrator or choreographer know what a damn rideout and button is?  And dear Mr. Director of the awards show, stop with the canned screaming, really!

[Edisaurus]

I missed The Rascals performance, but I liked the band a lot when I was in Jr. HS. That show is coming here..I can get half-price tickets but it's still $40 for the cheap seats. Has anyone here seen the actual show?

[vixmom]

I love Neil Patrick Harris.  Period.


I have absolutely no interest in seeing Matilda.  Which is sad, since I enjoyed both the book and the movie as a child.  That song was dreadful.

ANN!!!!!!

[bk]

Back to the show.

[Ann]

I agree completely, BK.  If this is what Broadway is becoming, I give up. 

[Ann]

Jed's two cents - Another issue is that some of the shows that have been running on Broadway forever need to close and make room for new shows.  When you only get three or four new shows per season, what can you expect to really come of it? 

[vixmom]

Tom Hanks looks really bizarre with a mustache...

my thoughts exactly

[Edisaurus]

In the clips...that Honey looked really OLD!

Honey Boo Boo?

I'm embarrassed that Honey Boo Boo is representin' my home state of Georgia.

[vixmom]

How's come Annie's voice was booming during her solo lines but not when she was singing with everyone else?  Prerecorded.....or was DR GEORGE really quick on the microphone buttons tonight?

I do what I'm told.

 A fine  quality in a man, and one I personally applaud 

[vixmom]

And now I'm going to bed because we have our last sow then strike!  AND THEN THE TONYS!!

Last sow?  Are you doing Animal Farm the Musical?

Spoo. 

I just caught up

[Edisaurus]

Is this edisaurus's first visit to the new board?

It is indeed! I have been spending much of my time the last few months in the hospital with my dad, so most of my internet time is on my phone. I like that you're able to embed pictures into the notes!

That's a very good point.

Jed and I have decided that Victoria Clark needs to be the Witch in Into The Woods

[George]

Although they weren't completely smoothly executed, I liked the dress transformations in "Cinderella."
