WICKED Breaks Box Office Record
Wicked became the first musical to gross more than $2 million for one week of performances, for the week that ended yesterday. I guess having a 1900-seat theatre with exorbitant ticket prices helps – something like an average of $144 … Continue reading
THE ADDAMS FAMILY: Evolution of a Musical
BroadwayWorld has a photo flash of The Addams Family in rehearsal. Just one of the shots to wet your appetites: Make sure you check out the other shots too. It’s certainly done a lot to make me a bit more … Continue reading

WEST SIDE STORY at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
This was definitely my favourite performance from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yes, we’ve seen “America” countless times before and, sure, it would have been great to see a number like “Cool” instead. But putting that point to one side, … Continue reading
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

Rob Marshall and NINE: the Cynic’s Edition
Daniel Day Lewis tries to explain to Rob Marshall how NINE works dramatically and how so much of what seems to be happening to turn it into another Marshall-fest seems to work against that. Continue reading

Rob Marshall and NINE
My doubts are primarily in regard to whether Marshall’s concept will end up justifying all of the choices he’s made in the making of NINE. If, in the final analysis, it works, then it works and the cuts (and interpolations) won’t matter. Whether it does (and whether they do) is what we’re waiting to see. Continue reading
