ROCK OF AGES is one of the new shows Broadway Across America will bring to the Colonial Theatre next season! ROCK takes us back to the 80's! HAIR will take us back to the 60's, WEST SIDE STORY and JERSEY BOYS will take us back to the 50's, while WICKED and MARY POPPINS will take [...]
So here's how it goes. One night I'm making my entrance to a screaming crowd under the big top wearing a skimpy bustier, fishnets and heels, carried on the shoulders of a smokin'hot, nearly naked, leather and chain clad adonis named Eddie; the next morning I'm cleaning up cat puke. The last 24 hours have [...]
***THIS JUST IN*** According to Conan O'Brien, "Jim Carrey rudely interrupted my power ballad last night. How did he get past security in a Superman outfit?" Look here: https://teamcoco.com ***IN OTHER NEWS*** It was an exhilarating weekend out at Saratoga Springs New York where my girl and her crew team-- "WAYLAND/WESTON GO GO GO!!!"-- rowed [...]
I was almost decapitated on my way to the theatre tonight by one of those mechanical arms at the parking garage. But it was inside the Opera House that I actually laughed my head off. The new Mel Brooks Musical YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN was hysterical, beginning to end, with just the right blend of shtick and [...]
While the rest of us were filing our tax returns last week, our Aunt Lottie was turning 109 years old. This is not a misprint. This is true. It's freaking biblical. Lottie Stern does not wear glasses or a hearing aid. She only uses the walker to get down to the dining room. She entertains [...]
Here's a trailer of Concord MA. native Steve Carell's new movie with Paul Rudd due out this summer--a remake of a dark French farce called LE DINER DE CONS (THE DINNER GAME) which I loved. But first DATE NIGHT--Which I did not. It's the #1 movie at the box office and in it we witness [...]
I'M BACK and on overload! What do the Kennedys, Joan Rivers, Patsy Cline, and Shakespeare have in common? I tweeted about them all tonight, so check out my twitter link for full info! (I think this is an efficient way to corral a whole bunch of wild info! Let me know what you think.) And [...]
Marji and I spent two days on the Great White Way last week and had a blast!!! COME FLY AWAY Twyla Tharp choreographs Frank Sinatra, again. This time it's all over the stage with a 17-piece big band and a vocalist. She was unnecessary. Those dancers' bodies were freakily "musicular"-musical and muscular! The women were [...]
The funniest show in town just closed: PHANTOM OF THE OPRAH put on by Ryan Landry's wildly inventive, screamingly hilarious GOLD DUST ORPHANS. Once again I took my seat at the Ramrod Center for the Performing Arts (more commonly known as Machine) sipped my chardonnay, and watched open-mouthed as a divinely diva-ed troop of men [...]
It's a trashy page turner that lingers too long on the sexual torture of women, a Miss Marple-like list of suspects, and an ending that's on the visible horizon from page one. I was among the few who disliked the late Stieg Larsson's international bestselling thriller. Then I saw the movie. In Swedish. The film [...]
