"Dana Andrews Said Prunes Gave Him The Runes...........'" Girls, Join Us At 8PM Tonight As "Svengoolie" Shows The Seldom Seen "Curse Of The Demon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                   Last shown in 2023, and directed by screen master Jacques Tourneur (known for his brilliant work on 1942's "Cat People," and even more brilliant, 1943's "I Walked With A Zombie") this film, was originally titled "Night Of The Demon" in England, where originally released in 1957, then changed to 'Curse' for American distribution.

                                     That is not all that was changed.  Adapted from M. R. James' 1911 short story, "Casting The Runes," the story has the ambiguity of Henry James' "The Turn Of The Screw," and it was Tourneur's plan to preserve this.

                                      However, the studio, for American distribution insisted on showing a monster.  It can be seen clearly in the poster, and, to me, looks like a cute, friendly, giant bat.  Better to have left things alone, but, darlings, for those who want to see a creature in all its glory, one must wait until the final shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The waiting is enjoyable as Tourneur's mastery makes the film an underrated work of art.

                                     This is really the best of the lot that "Svengoolie" is unreeling this month, so I would tune in.

                                       All of ius here are going to tune in for fun and thrills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       Somehow aptly appropriate, dolls, the night before the TONYS.

It's That Time, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time For The TONY Predicitions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Some may call the program the "Gay Super Bowl," and you know what?  They are right.

                             Having seen more shows this season than in recent years, I feel I should be on the committee.  Nevertheless, I have my ideas about the upcoming TONYS and let me say not everything is a slam dunk.  I wish it were, but that is just not the case.

                                 Now, how to do this?  I am sticking with only the major categories in plays and musicals.   And since I know what is most important to this audience, let's start with musicals.

                                     Best Musical                                                                                                                                                       "The Lost Boys"                                                                                                                                                 "Schmigadoon"                                                                                                                                                 "Titanique"                                                                                                                                                         "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)"         

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                                     Darlings, this is a strong category.  My personal choice would be "Schmigadoon," and no one would be happier than I to see it win.  But I predict this award will go, undeservedly to "The Lost Boys."  'Two Strangers' is a dark horse, and "Titaniquue" lacks the theatrical erudition needed to win a TONY.  So, it is "The Lost Boys," but watch out for 'Two Strangers.'

                                            Best Revival Of A Musical                                                                                                                           "CATS:  The Jellicle Ball"                                                                                                                            "Ragtime"                                                                                                                                                      "The Rocky Horror Show"    

                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                           Another very strong category.   While I would love to see "CATS: The Jellicle Ball," win, and hope it does, I think "Ragtime" will win.  Why I do not understand because the score is not that good.  Two songs do not a show make.  If you want "Ragtime," darlings, pick up the E. L. Doctorow novel and read it.  The one thing 'CATS' has a lock on is costume design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We shall see, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                               Best Leading Actor In A Musical                                                                                                                   Nicholas Christopher, "CHESS"                                                                                                                   Luke Evans, "The Rocky Horror Show"                                                                                                       Joshua Henry, "Ragtime"                                                                                                                               Sam Tutty "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)"                                                                     Brandon Uranowitz, "Ragtime"

                                               Still a strong category!  Could the two "Ragtime"-ers cancel each other out?  And what about Nicholas Chirstopher in "CHESS?"  Will voters fall for his mannered vocal technique rather than the emotional depth and warmth rendered by the late David Carroll in the 1988 original Broadway production?  He could be a dark horse.  As could Sam Tuttle for his charming turn in 'Two Strangers.'  But after years in the industry and his turn as Billy Bigelow in 2018's "Carousel," I think it is time for Joshua Henry.  Yes, I think he will win.

                                                Best Leading Actress In A Musical                                                                                                                Sara Chase, "Schmigadoon"                                                                                                                          Stephanie Hsu, "The Rocky Horror Show"                                                                                                    Caissie Levy, "Ragtime"                                                                                                                                Marla Mindelle, "Titanique"                                                                                                                          Christiani Pitts, "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)"              

                                                 This was a surprisingly strong season, and it did not start out that way. Surprises galore just swept into town, with an embarrassment of riches to choose from.  I can think of only one winner here--Caissie Levy in "Ragtime."  I have enjoyed her since "HAIR" in 2009, and it is time she was recognized.  The other ladies, while in good shows, and given good material haven't roles as strong as Levy's to win the TONY.  Hey, didn't the late Marin Maisie win a TONY for her role in the original 1998 Broadway production????????????????

                                                     Best Featured Actor In A Musical                                                                                                                 Ali Louis Bourzgi, "The Lost Boys"                                                                                                            Andre De Shields, "CATS: Th Jellicle Ball"                                                                                                 Bryce Pinkham, "CHESS"                                                                                                                             Ben Levi Ross, "Ragtime"                                                                                                                             Layton Williams, "Titanique"   

                                                    Bryce Pinkham and Aaron Tveit were the only ones who impressed me in "CHESS."  And Tveit's omission is sinful.  My prediction is it will go to Andre De Shields, who should get it just for doing 8 shows a week at age 80, but whose dedication to the industry deserves some recognition.  And he is terrific in the show.

                                                     Best Featured Actress In A Musical                                                                                                               Shoshana Bean, "The Lost Boys"                                                                                                                 Hannah Cruz, "CHESS"                                                                                                                                 Rachel Dratch, "The Rocky Horror Show"                                                                                                   Ana Gasteyer, "Schmigadoon"                                                                                                                       Nichelle Lewis, "Ragtime"

                                                       Can you believe it, girls? Two SNL alum among the nominees.  While good, I don't expect they will win.  Ana Gasteyer is funny but simply does a reincarnation of Margaret Hamilton!  That actress would be proud of Ana!!!!!!!!!!    I don't know how much musicality Rachel Dratch shows, but I know Shoshana Bean is heartbreaking and touching in "The Lost Boys" and deserves the TONY for her dedication in consistently playing troubled mothers.   I think Shohana Bean will win.   

                                                         Best Direction Of A Musical                                                                                                                         Michael Arlen, "The Lost Boys"                                                                                                                   Lear deBessonet, "Ragtime"                                                                                                                         Christopher Gattelli, "Schmigadoon"                                                                                                              Tim Jackson, "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)"                                                                 Zhalion Levington and Bill Rach, "CATS:  The Jellicle Ball"    

                                                           If it were up to me, Christopher Gattelli should win, because the highlight of "Schimgadoon" is the entire production.  Now, on Frank DiLella's show last week, I heard NY Post critic Johnny Oleksinski say of Lear deBessonet  that she cannot stage a show, and I agree after the mess she made of "Oliver!" at ENCORES!!!!!!!!!!!  And to think she is now the head of Lincoln Center Theater!  This is as bad as Bari Weiss at CBS!  However, I think it is going to be a slug out between Michael Arlen and Lear deBessonet.  But I think Christopher Gattelli should win. 

                                                             So that is it for the musical categories.  Thre could be a sweep of either "Ragtime" or "The Lost Boys," but I hope not.  Do I need to summarize.  Let me do so.

                                                               Best Musical--SHOULD--"Schmigadoon.   WILL-- "The Lost Boys" .

                                                                Best Revival Of A Musical--SHOULD--"CATS: The Jellicle Ball".  WILL:  "Ragtime"

                                                                Best Leading Actor In A Musical--SHOULD: Joshua Henry in "Ragtime" .  WILL: Joshua Henry in "Ragtime"

                                                               Best Leading Actress In A Musical--SHOULD--Caissie Levy in "Ragtime".  WILL:  Caissie Levy in "Ragtime"

                                                                Best Featured Actor In A Musical--SHOULD: Andre De Shields in "CATS:  The Jellicle Ball."  WILL:  Andre De Shields in "CATS: The Jellicle Ball."

                                                                Best Featured Actress In A Musical--SHOULD--Shoshana Bean in "The Lost Boys."  WILL:  Shoshana Bean in "The Lost Boys."

                                                                 Best Direction Of A Musical--SHOULD: Christopher Gattelli for "Schmigadoon."  WILL--Either Michael Arlen or Lear deBessonet, and with the way luck is going, it will be deBessonet, though she is horrible.

                                                                   Last word on musicals, girls!  Expect a sweep of either "The Lost Boys" or "Ragtime."

                                                                     Now, let us get to the plays.

                                                                      Best Play                                                                                                                                                        "The Balusters"                                                                                                                                              "Giant"                                                                                                                                                            "Little Bear Ridge Road"                                                                                                                             "Liberation"

                                                                     First of all, I think Laurie Metcalf should have been nominated twice and should have been cited for "Little Bear Ridge Road."  All the plays are strong, but in this PC era, darlings, you just know it is going to go to "Liberation."  So, gird your loins, girls!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                   Best Revival Of A Play                                                                                                                                 "Becky Shaw"                                                                                                                                               "Death Of A Salesman"                                                                                                                                 "Every Brilliant Thing"                                                                                                                                 "Fallen Angels"                                                                                                                                             "Oedipus"

                                                                       Despite the reservations I had about the staging concept, I think "Death Of A Salesman" will win.  Not only for its innovation, but its acting.  And face it, darlings, it is better written than any of the other nominees.  Oh, I have heard talk about "Oedipus," but I think "Death Of A Salesman" is as sure a bet as "Ragtime." 

                                                                      Best Leading Actor In A Play                                                                                                                        Will Harrison, "Punch"                                                                                                                                   Nathan Lane, "Death Of A Salesman"                                                                                                           John Lithgow, "Giant"                                                                                                                                   Daniel Radcliffe, "Every Brilliant Thing"                                                                                                     Mark Strong, "Oedipus"  

                                                                        Again, there is all this "Oedipus" talk, but who the hell saw it?  Who cares????????????  I would love to see Daniel Radcliffe win for "Every Brilliant Thing," I am happy his nomination recognizes the fine adult actor he has become.  But I think Nathan Lane is going to take it.  Is he the greatest Willy Loman?  Far from it. He works hard in the role, and he was willing to take it on, so I think he is going to win his third TONY award.

                                                                               Best Leading Actress In A Play                                                                                                                     Rose Byrne, "Fallen Angels"                                                                                                                         Carrie Coon, "Bug"                                                                                                                                       Susannah Flood, "Liberation"                                                                                                                       Lesley Manville, "Oedipus"                                                                                                                           Kelli O'Hara, "Fallen Angels"

                                                                               This is a very weak category; not a stellar one in the bunch.  Will the two "Fallen Angels" cancel each other out?  Kelli O'Hara is now trying to do what Celia Keenan- Bolger did and transition to non-musical theater.  I don't think she will be as successful. More "Oedipus;" does anybody care?  Carrie WHO???????????  The inevitability is Susannah Flood in "Liberation."  This category just leaves me cold, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

                                                                                   Best Featured Actor In A Play                                                                                                                       Christopher Abbott, "Death Of A Salesman"                                                                                                 Danny Burstein, "Marjorie Prime                                                                                                                  Brandon J. Dirden, "Waiting For Godot"                                                                                                     Alden Ehrenreich, "Becky Shaw"                                                                                                                Ruben Santiago-Hudson, "Joe Turner's Come And                                                                                      Gone"                                                                                                                                                            Richard Thomas, "The Balusters"

                                                                      

                                                                                    Definitely a more interesting category.  It is anyone's guess here.  Because I am expecting a sweep, I think Christopher Abbott will win for "Death Of A Salesman."  But should he?  I did not think his interpretation of Biff was correct.  Too unsympathetic and whiny.  Richard Thomas, ever since "The Little Foxes" has proved to be adept on Broadway, so I would not mind if he won for "The Balusters."  But he will not.  As I said I am expecting a 'Salesman' sweep!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

                                                                                      Best Featured Actress In A Play                                                                                                                    Betsy Aidem, "Liberation"                                                                                                                            Marylouise Burke, "The Balusters"                                                                                                              Aya Cash, "Giant"                                                                                                                                          Laurie Metcalf, "Death Of A Salesman"                                                                                                        June Squibb, "Marjorie Prime"

                                                                                       I have only two words to say here--Laurie Metcalf.  She is the best thing in "Death Of A Salesman" and is the engine that runs the show.  Acting wise, she blows everyone else off the stage!  What a pity June Squibb is up against her; at 96, how many chances does she have?  But if Laurie does not win, there will be an explosion here.  Sorry, June, but the TONY must really go to Laurie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

                                                                                           Best Direction Of A Play                                                                                                                               Nicholas Hytner, "Giant"                                                                                                                               Robert Icke, "Oedipus"                                                                                                                                 Kenny Leon, "The Balusters"                                                                                                                         Joe Mantello, "Death Of A Salesman"                                                                                                           Whitney White, "Liberation"

                                                                                            Again, a no brainer.  I may have disliked his conception, but I agree Joe Mantello should win for "Death Of A Salesman."  He is the only one with stature among the nominees, and his project was the best.  So, I am certain he will win.

                                                                                               Before wrapping up, let me summarize the Best Play Category.

                                                                                                Best Play-- SHOULD --"Liberation."  WILL--"Liberation."

                                                                                                 Best Revival Of A Play--SHOULD--"Death Of A Salesman."  WILL--"Death Of A Salesman."

                                                                                                 Best Leading Actor In A Play--SHOULD--Daniel Radcliffe in "Every Brilliant Thing."  WILL--Nathan Lane in "Death Of A Salesman."

                                                                                                  Best Leading Actress In A Play--SHOULD--Susannah Flood in "Liberation."  WILL--Susannah Flood, in "Liberation."

                                                                                                      Before wrapping up, let me say the play categories were harder to select as the contenders were not all equally strong.  Many SHOULDS I gave because I know they WILL win.

                                                                                                        So, girls, those are my predication for The TONY Awards. We will all find out Sunday, and I will be back on here Monday to "quarterback" the show.

                                                                                                       May all your TONY dreams come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                  

                                                                                                                                             

                                                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                                   

                                            

                                                                                                                                              

This Was The Last Show We Saw Before The TONYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now We Have Seen All The Nominated Musicals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)" did for me what "Maybe Happy Ending" did for David.  I loved it because I found it warm and compelling, with an unexpectedly melodic score.

                                       That score is sung superbly by Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty.  Mr. Tutty is especially compelling with his voice, his warmth, and something unexpected that is starting to emerge as a trend.

                                           The emergence is of male pulchritude on Broadway.  In just a year we have seen Jonathan Groff and Aaron Tveit in their underwear, much to audience delight, and now Mr. Tutt can be added to that list.  He is a fine young man, and the gay community, who should be going to the theater this week, will just love him.  But he is not just another pretty face and body.  As Dougal, who has come to New York to see a father he has never known, at a family wedding he necessarily was not invited to, his showstopping opening number "New York" is sure to be added to the canon of great songs about the city.  And he delivers it in a showstopping style.  What a great start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           Christiani Pitts (no relation to Zasu!!!!!!!!) may not be as compelling but her two solo second act numbers, "He Doesn't Exist," and "About To Go In," display a talent and strength sure to win over Broadway audiences.  I was simply enchanted by the whole thing in a way I have not been in a while.  I could be shot for saying this, but the show is far superior to "Maybe Happy Ending."

                                                 Credit must go to Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, who created the whole thing. to Tim Jackson's direction and choreography, and to set designer Sourta Gilmour, who also did the costumes.  The latter are perfectly designed in accordance with the characters, and the set, which starts out as a pile of luggage in an airport, morphs throughout into the city itself as Robin and Dougal discover things about the city and themselves.

                                                     Yet, for all the charm, there is a poignancy here.  Both Dougal and Robin are loners who apparently are not wanted by their families.  How many of these types do we New Yorkers know, darlings?  I kept wondering how this show would end, and, while it is sudden, it ends on a note of hope.   A self-examining musical, as well as a charming one.

                                                         Repeating a point, I made earlier, "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)" really gets it right about life in this city.  It can also be added to the canon list of great shows about New York City.  It is better than "Hell's Kitchen."

                                                            It is a TONY nominee, and it could be a dark horse.

                                                           Let's see how it does on Sunday.

                                                           But see it, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     

Happy National Donut Day, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         I can tell you David is happy today, because before the day is over, we will be going to Dunkin' Donuts and having coffee and a donut.

                          Why is this such a big deal.  Because you know what they say, girls?  A donut is a bullet to the heart.  That is right.  All those Manhattan tourists going in and out of Krispy Kreme in the theater district are going to make cardiologists and other heart specialists wealthy in the coming years.

                         But I don't think a donut once a year hurts anyone.  So, let us celebrate National Donut Day by savoring that one donut we are allowed to have, remembering its creaminess and texture till next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Oh, for the days of childhood, when one did not have to worry about eating anything, and food was something we could enjoy.  Now, as we age, that is different.

                               Nevertheless, enjoy your donuts on this day!

                               I will have an Old Fashioned.  And maybe a Chocolate Covered or a Boston Cream!

                               Enjoy your National Donut Day, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           

Even Bigger And Campier On Broadway At The St. James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     When a show moves from Off-Broadway to Broadway, the results can be problematic.  For every "HAIR" or "A Chorus Line," there are an equal number of shows that don't succeed in the transition.

                                         So, I was fearful when I heard "Titanique," which we saw last year downtown, was not only coming to Broadway, but to the enormous St. James Theatre, former home of the doomed "Sunset Boulevard."  Well, the results are just wonderful.

                                           Larger and more magnified, forced to really project to the audience, the "Titanique" company are having a ball, and giving the audience the kind of fun, theatrical excitement that has been lacking for most of the season.  It may not win, but I am so happy it is a TONY nominee.

                                             Marla Mindelle, one of the book writers, does such a dead-on impersonation of Celine Dion, her phrasing and mannerisms, it becomes something more than funny and campy, though it is.  This is a star turn in the truest sense, and she makes the most of what she is given; why not, she helped create it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                              The real surprise is Jim Parsons who plays Rose's mother, Ruth.  When I heard he had been cast, I never thought of him for this role, but he is so wonderful in it and livens up a show that is already lively to begin with.

                                               The enormity of the set design by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace  Lubacher for Iron Bloom Creative Production does not overshadow the show, only makes the ship the sumptuous experience it was meant to be.  The costumes, by Alejo Vietti are colorful and fun, but it is the material and the performers who make the production.

                                                   Really, darlings, if you have not seen this show yet, you must.

                                                 And for friends coming into town, who need a recommendation, this would be the first show I would think of.

                                                 Certainly not "Death Of A Salesman!"  Are you kidding???????????????

This Play Opens Tonight! But Will It Last???????????? One Should Hope Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      The first thing I need to warn readers about is this play has nothing to do with Jerome Robbins or Kern.  Too bad; there might have been some interest, not to mention great music.

                                         The mystery of "Jerome," by aspiring playwright John J. Caswell, Jr.--emphasis on aspiring--is how the readers at Playwrights Horizons chose this from the slush pile to produce, when they must receive hundreds of equally more worthy submissions..

                                             It so desperately wants to have it both ways--be part of the passing AIDS play canon, and then not.  Instead, it is deeply contrived.

                                               Set in 1992, the trope is long familiar.  A gay couple, and one of them is dying.  Not from AIDS but, kidney failure due to acute alcoholism.  The dying man desperately wants someone to replace him so when he goes the survivor will have someone.  Hey, nice thought, but is it practical?   So, what do they do?  They go to this gay bar--are there any in Arizona, where this play is set? --pick up this hot, hunky guy, and, after a ribald one-night ménage a trois, decide he is the one to be the replacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   Are you kidding me?  This makes about as much sense as the cannibalistic boys choosing Sebastian over Elizabeth Taylor, in "Suddenly, Last Summer."

                                                    The dying man, named Con (how clever!) is played by Stephen Spinellla, who gives a competent performance, but cannot rise to the occasion as the material gives him nothing to work with.  What's more Spinella has aged considerably; to me, he looks like he is turning into Austin Pendleton!!!!!!!!!!  Maybe Austin was offered this play but had the wisdom to turn it down.  But everyone in the industry knows by now that when an actor is needed to portray a dying gay man, call Stephen Spinella!!!!!!!!!!!  He is currently the Louise Fletcher of terminally ill gay roles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     His partner, Doane, wonderfully hunky and muscular, is played by Jorge Bennett Watson, and is probably the most fleshed out character, being allowed a range of emotions and opinions, while Ken Barrett, who plays Bruin, is comely enough, but, really, that is all the role requires.  He is no loquacious hunk, like Chance Wayne in "Sweet Bird Of Youth."  One has to wonder if this replacement thing goes through, what will this couple have to talk about or relate to?

                                                      That is because the playwright sheds no light.  As for Dustin Willis, who is both the director and scenic designer---what the hell?  His direction is OK enough when the material is treated like a sympathetic intimate drama.  But then the floor sinks on stage, and the audience has no idea if it is going to Oz or Wonderland, but I am telling you, as an audience member, I fervently hoped we would go to either.  The world of "Jerome" is inconsistent, to say the least.

                                                            Oh, and girls, you have to see the phony, faux "Death In Vencie" type ending, with everything onstage, including the actors' costumes, drenched in white.  Like we are supposed to be impressed the playwright knows Thomas Mann?  Or Luchino Visconti?   Frankly, darlings, I was surprised.

                                                                 If "Jerome" gets rave reviews, it won't be the first time this season the critics went crazy over crap; look at "The Lost Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                              Readers, to you I say save your time and money, and avoid "Jerome."  And to Playwrights Horizons, I say get me on your readership staff immediately, because by choosing this, you have no idea what constitutes good playwriting.

                                                                  Unless the runners-up were even worse, which would not surprise me.

                                                                   Incidentally, I have no desire to visit Arizona.  Except maybe the one John Gavin and Janet Leigh are in at the opening of "Psycho" where Leigh utters my favorite line in the movie--

                                                                    "I have to get back to the office.  These extended lunch hours give my boss excess acid."

                                                                      I got excess acid from"Jerome," which btw is a town in Arizona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                  

                                                               

The Lavender Marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Farce???????????? Yes, But An Important Part Of Pride Month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             This kind of arrangement is such a farce, darlings, I wonder if there are any that have worked?  Are they even in existence anymore????????????

                                Really, dears, no matter where you are living, if you cannot admit to being gay, then either get a pet or live alone, reading scholarly books.  Don't ruin the other person's life.

                                The secondary character in a lavender marriage is always the straight one.  The gay partner may be a closet case, which is why they are in this arrangement, but in the end, it is the straight one who suffers.

                                  Heterophobes may see this as a chance to inflict vengeance on the straight, but that is as wrong as homophobia.

                                     This month dears, for those needing to think about this, think about choices being made, and the consequences they may have.

                                        Aren't enough lives in general being ruined??????????????

                                      Besides, the first fight is over who gets to wear the bridal gown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
