"Old Friends." I guess I understand why, but hasn't it been done a zillion times before?

Probably not the full song and the show staging, though. That Emmy thing was cute but so slow and not exactly in tune.

I read somewhere that they may film this production of Merrily.

From your mouth to God's ears.

Yes, Merrily is being pro-shot tomorrow and Tuesday. It is not known yet where the footage may ultimately become available.

I saw The Mother Play, Cabaret, and Merrily in April.

What did you think about Cabaret? They just did Wilkommen on the show.




I enjoyed it but it wasn't my favorite version.  I know that the Emcee is "out there" but I thought Eddie Redmayne's characterization was very odd.

Having the ceremony at Lincoln Center allows more folks to attend, I guess.

Oh, dear Lord - when will the put a stop to the parade of producers who had nothing to do with the show other than putting in a certain amount of money? It's ridic.

It sure looked odd in that number.

If you're feting Chita, why not do the choreography that Mr. Fosse actually did, rather than the revival, which pretended.

It's hard to imagine the band sounding more muffled and poorly mixed. Not something I understand, given the amount of dough poured into the broadcast.

In the pre-show, all of the designers took forever to get to the stage because they were seated at the back of the house.

I guess they saved all the seats close to the stage for all these rafts of faux "producers."

How is this show getting to three hours? by having thirty minutes of commercials.

The sign behind Hillary looks like they printed it out on a dot matrix printer and duct-taped it to cardboard.

Whoever directed this and is having performers turn away from the audience - this isn't The Carol Burnett Show - it's B'way MUSICAL - shoot it from the front.
