BILLY ELLIOT at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Of the performances I’ve watched so far, Billy Elliot is one that I’ve enjoyed more than many of the others. Strange, perhaps, as this song has never been one of my absolute favourites in the score and I only really … Continue reading
BYE BYE BIRDIE at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
So this is the Bye Bye Birdie clip from Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. It’s quite fun watching Uncle Jesse go though the moves, although director-choreographer Robert Longbottom hasn’t done anyone any favours with his lame choreography – although the idea of … Continue reading

NEWSFLASH: Kelsey Grammar for Broadway’s LA CAGE?

A Sneak Peek of FELA!
There’s a sneak peek of Fela! at BroadwayWorld, with some footage from the show. The show’s unique feel is clear even here, visibly drawing on pan-African performance traditions that meet head-on with conventions of the Broadway musical over at the … Continue reading

The cast of Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach’s Legally Blonde performed on Children in Need last night. Here’s the footage: Unfortunately, the performance is terrible. It’s under-rehearsed and very clear that the cast is not ready for a … Continue reading
