PBOL'S Theatre Week In Review

Includes more speculation on the Atkinson Theatre - "promised to Mack and Mabel." I recommend Jane Eyre, although it's probably not for everyone. Tommy Tune's version of "Tap Your Troubles Away" is a song that never fails to put a smile on my face.

Last Night of the World for B'way Miss Saigon Jan. 28

Interesting cast includes the woman who I have long considered the most beautiful woman in the world...no, not Lypsinka, Isabella Rossellini. Thanks to Anthony for the link.

RATM

Manager? Agent? Great explanation given by Alison Franck, the Casting Director at Paper Mill Playhouse, over on RATM. It's snowing like crazy!

Speaking of The Beautiful Game, I also loved it - saw it twice in London on two recent trips. I agree that it could play here, if the audience were perhaps given some background into the Troubles and the religious conflict. One of the things that bothered me about Martin Guerre ("Really, there were things you didn't like about Martin Guerre, Catherine?") was that the Catholic/Protestant conflicts weren't properly set up for the audience.


And I think BG was directed well - it could, however, do with some trimming in the interpretative dance department. Tim Gowen, of RATM, renamed the show "North Side Story."

Just one comment about the below post concerning agents vs managers. I did not see in Alison's post the important fact that agents are licensed as employment agencies by respective state agencies (NYS Dept of Labor, etc...) whereas managers are not regulated by a governmental agency. Managers do have a self-regulating "association", but this body does not have legal jurisdiction to punish a manager who gets out of line. This is why the unions sanction agents and not managers. New actors in the business are more likely to get scammed by a manager than an agent.

On the theatre viewing front, I saw Beautiful Game. Needs a new director and it could come to Broadway. The material is there but the story is not being presented correctly. Yes, it is cente…

Also saw Woman in Black (has that ever transfered to NY?) and Fallen Angels (by Noel Coward) loved both of them too.

I think the guest columnists are doing a bang-up job. My thanks to them. I wonder if there is a way to keep them on after I return... Hmmm....
