UPDATE: THE RESULTS SHOW:
The gang sings along to Dolly Parton's classic "9 to 5." That hit film is coming to Broadway in spring of 2009, which should give Dolly another chance to score with that project. I'd say she was robbed when she lost the Oscar to...

It is refreshing to see a musical go postal.
The Adding Machine, an off-Broadway revival of the 1923 Elmer Rice play, is staged in a Thirties social realism style, complemented by moving performances and a rich modern score. With its healthy dollop of agitprop, the musical addresses an all-too...

A bit of a space filler, here -- a few very promising auditions, glimpses of Hollywood week (when contestants can play an instrument if they choose) and lots of padding. I've skipped most of the clearly bad auditions seen in part or full to concentrate on the 10 main auditions...

If you're visiting NYC with the kids and they have their hearts set on seeing a real Broadway show at a real Broadway theater, you're gonna have to do the right thing and camp out at TKTS (The Drowsy Chaperone was pretty good, btw). But if you're in town...

I was clapping wildly and shouting "brava" to Rosie Perez on Sunday during the curtain call for The Ritz when two cast members stepped forward and announced something that left me stunned.
If they are right, there's an unintended consequence to the Broadway stagehand strike that literally could be...

Seen, heard and observed on the picket line in Los Angeles as the Writers Guild of America strike enters its second week:
Too much enthusiasm: Writers picketing in Che Guevara T-shirts
Too little enthusiasm: Writers picketing with Blackberries and cell phones
Too much fun: Walking the line with everyone...

Let's not talk about theatre right off the bat, though we're headed in that direction. Let's start, instead, with the universal metaphor of romance, and the issue of putting out. Adults have lately lamented the adolescent sport of having sex on the first date -- oh, c'mon, it's not even...
