Two days til'....

...the Passing Strange Cast Recording is released, via iTunes. Since this was, in my opinion, the best new show of the Broadway season, I am eagerly awaiting the release of this score, which is fantastic.

For those of you who haven't already, go see Passing Strange, and Adding Machine. Two amazing musicals!!!

The shilling is over.

Cubby Bernstein: I Smell a Tony...

It seems that Xanadu has found a genius marketing campaign, with the 9-year old 'Tony campaign manager," Cubby Bernstein.

Watch the videos, and you'll see this guy is the "real deal." Good luck with your campaign, Xanadu.

Meanwhile, I'll be campaigning for the the greatest new show this season, Passing Strange. I urge all readers to see this show as soon as possible, and all Tony voters to give this show a chance. It's that great!

And, for all those interested, Tony Award Nominations. I will be attending the Tonys this year, along with the Drama Desk Awards, this Sunday. Full report Sunday night, or Monday.

See ya's.

2 Days 'til the Tony Award Nominations are announced!!!

Oooh, the excitement is palpable. There will most likely be some nominations that will surprise us, some that will piss us off, and others that will make us jump with glee.

Best of luck to all the nominees, especially the Passing Strange Gang. You guys rockzors.

That's a word right? Yeah, yeah it is.

Yeah, I know, it's been awhile.....

...but hopefully I'll be back for good.

I've been writing some screenplay, some regular plays, and other such things.

Over this break, I saw some awesome shows, (Passing Strange, again, Adding Machine, Gypsy) some awesome movies (Iron Man) and some awesome faces. (John Doyle, again, Stew, kinda but not really.)

We are back in business people. Fo shizzle

Speaking of which.

My only incentive to seeing "In the Heights," is to see some awesome Broadway-style rapping.

Peace out y'all....

Title of Show is going to Broadway!!!!!

July 2nd!!!!

WOOOOOOOOH!!!!

Best news ever!!

Also: A Catered Affair Review!!!

It is the most emotional new musical of the season. Not as good as Passing Strange, but that's just apples and oranges. Stand out performers in the show were Faith Prince, Tom Wopat, and Harvey Fierstein. Joh Doyle has once again directed an excellent show.

Retrospective will continue soon....

Hopefully.....

We interrupt this retrospective...

For an Important announcement..

Theatre actor Brian D'Arcy James is the titular character in the new musical adaptation of "Shrek."

This just keeps getting better.

Cracka Slam, Into a Matrix: A Musical Retrospective- Part 1: William Finn's awesomeness

What comes to mind when you hear the name "William Finn?"

How about, crazy lyrics, Jewish and homosexual themes, and very addictive music? Yes, all of those things, and more even.

William Finn is an amazing composer, whose songs are both hilarious, and emotional. Finn has recently been represented on Broadway by the Tony-Winning musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." While not as good as his other shows, it was still with the visit.

Finn's first show was "In Trousers," the story of Marvin, an extremely confused man, when dealing with women. The show starts off with the zany song "Marvin's Giddy Seizures," so yeah, you know where this is going. But it's zany in a good way. And with an amazing cast, including, Chip Zien, and my favorite diva, Mary Testa.

He then went on to write "March of the Falsettos," and "Falsettoland," which were later combined into "Falsettos," which won the Tony Award for Best Score, and Best Book.

Other such works, like "A New Brain," and "Elegies," have furthered his greatness in the world of musical theatre.

Coming Soon: Jason Robert Brown, and Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty.
