The Shows

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

I am all amazement-He pulled it off. I can't say that it wouldn't have been better if the lead had been a real singer/dancer...but he did pull it off. It helps that the supporting cast was great and on their game. All but the other big name John Larroquette (of Night Court fame.) He was horrid! He mumbled and spoke too quickly and you only understood about 5% of what he said the entire show. Radcliff (Harry Potter as we all know him so well) was consistent and hit his stride about 1/2 way through. Once the matinee teenage audience got over their giggles from being in his presence that is.

Catch Me if You Can

WOW and double WOW!! It's not that the plot was anything outstanding, but the leads (Norbert Leo Butz and Aaron Tveit) were giving 150% the entire time! Monte leaned into me at one point and asked, "How is he still doing this?" They were amazing! I am shocked that the Tony announcement yesterday didn't include either of them. And YES, we were stage door lurkers at each show getting autographs and taking pictures. (Radcliff was a no show at the Hirschfeld stage door by the way. )

Wonderland

If you want to have a fun easy ride and don't mind yet another take on the classic Alice in Wonderland then take a trip down the rabbit hole at the Marquis Theatre right in Times Square. We had a blast! Sure there are a few little holes in the plot, but to me a good musical has bright big costumes, big voices, and you leave singing a few of the songs. This one most definitely covered the requirements. It doesn't hurt that my friend Danny Stiles was making eyes at me in the fourth row all evening as Morris the March Hare.
