Glad to see that it’s picked up some Tony noms for its work.

]]> Comment on Review: Gob Squad’s “Kitchen” by dramaqueennyc http://dramaqueennyc.com/2012/02/01/review-gob-squads-kitchen/#comment-395 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:01:24 +0000 http://dramaqueennyc.wordpress.com/?p=1292#comment-395 Here’s the thing. In articles about the company — and in the off-mike conversations I had with them on-stage — the company members made it clear that they have a very specific approach to selecting people. They look for people who maintain eye contact with them, or in some other way seem eager to participate. That is what accounts for their ease on stage. Also some of the people selected may have known about the conceit of the show — it’s all over the press coverage — and may have actively wanted to participate. I know I did, and was very pleased when they selected me.

The night I saw it, I was convinced that at least some of the people pulled were audience plants — or at least had been chosen and briefed ahead of time. They just seemed too comfortable, without the usual looking-around-lost feeling or self-consciousness that people get when they’re onstage but not quite sure what to do next. The performances they were giving were simply too good to be random choice. That said, I found the evening to be fun and surprisingly moving.

]]> Comment on Review: Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway by Raimond Caluori http://dramaqueennyc.com/2011/12/09/review-hugh-jackman-back-on-broadway/#comment-387 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:55:38 +0000 http://dramaqueennyc.com/?p=1274#comment-387 Hi:

Just saw Hugh’s show and…what a disappointment. We are big fans but this was a long two hours of unnecessary chat, self-indulgence and pandering to the masses with embarrassing audience participation. Things improved in the second act when Hugh actually sang song in their entirety.

What do I know however….the NY audience loved it. I had to leave before the usual charity bit (for which I applaud Hugh….but theres a time and a place for that).

Compared to Mandy and Patti’s clever and inspired show….this did not even come close.

Good luck with your next movies Hugh. Looking forward your performance in Les Miserables….but, control the Merman’esq vibrato in that. A little more understated please. Let you true talent shine through.

Disappointed from LA.
