Saturday, March 31, 2001

Now, this broadwaystars.com writer was a proud member of her high school color guard - I twirled a flag, a rifle and a sabre with the marching band and the winter guard for four years, and I had a blast. Now all of New York is going to have a blast, when the aptly named Blast! begins performances at the Broadway Theatre on April 5th. After catching the PBS performance of the show, which enthralled me so much that I immediately joined PBS to get the video (without the pledge breaks), I knew I would love this show. And after catching last week's press rehearsal, it's a definite must-see. Imagine drump corps meets Stomp. With a cast of 60 brass, percussion and visual ensemble members. All of whom are young and attractive. Really attractive. It really is the most exciting thing I've seen on a stage lately - don't miss Blast!. Or I will beat you with my rifle, it's still in my mother's attic somewhere.

Giuliani Makes Choices for a Decency Panel on Art
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has come up with a list that includes members of his administration, friendly clerics and his own divorce lawyer to sit on his decency panel.
We should put Marcia Lewis on this panel to kiss some ass and protect Broadway's (and every artist's) rights. This can become a really big issue.

'Invention of Love': Housman's Hell, Stoppard's Style by Ben Brantley
The Hades that's conjured in the Lincoln Center production of Tom Stoppard's "Invention of Love" has the requisite Stygian gloom, all right. But what illuminates it isn't infernal flame, but bright, lambent wit.

Should We Acknowledge All the Unknowns? by Peter Filichia

A faithful reader pointed out to me that the NY Post review of Mnemonic has a "time line" problem...
    In his review of "Mnemonic," Donald Lyons writes that the play's main character, "a young woman called Alice," learns that her father was Jewish, prompting him to wonder, "was her father a victim of the Holocaust?" The Holocaust, of course, ended in 1945; "Mnemonic" is set in the late Nineties. If Alice's father died in the Holocaust, this young woman would be at least fifty years old.
It goes to the saying "I should ask my brother if I am an only child..."

And then there is another reader who points out a NY Times omission:
    The Times Omitted an interesting addition to the Williamstown summer lineup. Mike Myers will be doing Paddy Chayefsky's "The Latent Heteroexual" directed by Bruce Paltrow. Can Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts in "Two For The Seesaw" be far behind?

    "What I want to say is, I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating. I don't care if it's a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theater, a piece of music, anybody -- anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us, I think this world would be unliveable without art, and I thank you. That includes the Academy, that includes my fellow nominees here tonight. Thank you for inspiring me."
