Month: December 2016

Baker’s Dozen + 1 extra

December 31, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

Twice a year Broadway sheds a number of shows as limited runs ends and shows run out of steam.  It generally happens in January and June as the months after are a generally lower ticket sales/fewer tourists zone.  This is a good thing as theater is a live experience that is not there forever like … Continue reading Baker’s Dozen + 1 extra

Les Liaisons Dangereuses

December 23, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

Well it was bound to happen.  With all the theater I get to see it would eventually occur again.  I would leave at intermission. Very seldom do I consider doing such a thing (especially if I am paying for the tickets!).  But on an exceptional evening, I am afraid it happens every decade or so. … Continue reading Les Liaisons Dangereuses

In Transit – On Broadway

December 20, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

Saw the a cappella musical "In Transit" (#InTransitBway) last night at the Circle in the Square Theater.  I've read the poor reviews and watched the low grosses and attendance number.  I was prepared for a tuneful but disappointing evening diversion. Wrong.  Unexpectedly I loved this show.  I have not seen Pitch Perfect or Glee which … Continue reading In Transit – On Broadway

Love, Love, Love

December 19, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

This was the third of the three hopeful playwright redux this fall. Simon Stephen's Heisenberg further dazzled after his Punk Rock (and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime). Stephen Karam's adaptation of The Cherry Orchard disappointed after his amazing The Humans. And now, Mike Bartlett's Love, Love, Love after his amazing King … Continue reading Love, Love, Love

The Illusionists – Turn of the Century

December 17, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

The current magic show on Broadway is an extension of The Illusionists franchise which has done two previous holiday season shows when short term theaters become available and also has an active touring presence.  The premise is that you will get to see a handful of different magical styles in an evening doing everything from … Continue reading The Illusionists – Turn of the Century

A Bronx Tale, the Musical

December 6, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

What a great show.  Unlike most of the world I was not familiar with Chazz Palminteri's previous iterations of his childhood immersion in the mob world of The Bronx.  He did a one man off Broadway show, a movie, a Broadway version of his one man show and has now turned it into a musical. … Continue reading A Bronx Tale, the Musical

The Cherry Orchard

December 2, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

There is good news and bad news in the Roundabout's production of The Cherry Orchard.  The good news is the performers on stage.  They are luminous and talented and committed to their work and they are a joy to watch.  Diane Lane and John Glover are special standouts (Joel Grey was not in the night … Continue reading The Cherry Orchard

Get thee to the St. James

December 1, 2016 ~ walterthinnes ~ Leave a comment

Saw Something Rotten! on Broadway for the second time.  Needed to introduce Pamela to the show before it closes January 1.  Any person with a passing knowledge of theater and musicals would enjoy it and recognize many references in the show.  For someone as passionate as Pamela and I are about theater one spends the … Continue reading Get thee to the St. James
