On Stage and Off: Another Blow for 'Jane Eyre' by Jesse McKinley

Jett-Propelled Exit by Michael Reidel
Backstage at the "The Rocky Horror Show," cast members are wondering if rocker Joan Jett will ever do the Time Warp again. Jett, who made her Broadway debut in the Tony-nominated revival, bolted the show in a huff last week and has not been seen at the theater since.
Let me repeat... Jett's exit is the best thing that has happened to Broadway in years. And that Kenny Laguna asshole? Glad he is gone too. No wonder Jett and Laguna work so well together.

Went to the Paper Mill preview of Carousel yesterday at 890 (as Catherine mentioned yesterday). The creative team has put together a great cast. As only Paper Mill can do it, a cast of thousands and I am sure that the production values will be as lavish as anything we have seen out in Milburn. Anyway, you get all that... what I am getting to is that Paper Mill presented a few songs and scenes, including the famous "Bench Scene" (AKA: the best musical theatre scene ever written) and there were a handful of video cameras there. I am sure that you will be able to find the video on Broadway.com very soon. It will also be available on Broadway Beat and eBay... just kidding.

So, how about Jane Eyre? How can you help but admire the way the producers and composer Paul Gordon are handling the situation? In addition, the theatre fans on the Internet (particularly on All That Chat!) are rallying behind them, trying to turn things around, whatever their feelings about the show may be. This is what a theatre community truly should be. Will they prevail, though? Time will tell, but I'll imagine we'll hear soon!

Broadway Vet Francis Ruivivar Dead at 40
Francis Ruivivar, a veteran Broadway performer who made Broadway history as the first Asian-American actor to play the role of The Engineer in Miss Saigon, died on May 23 at the age of 40. He had been battling leukemia.

Well, let me just say that I was impressed by Matt Bogart's Billy Bigelow at this morning's press rehearsal of Carousel, which begins performances on May 30th. He sure does brood well. The cast performed three songs and one scene from the show, and it looks like a winner. 'Carousel' being one of my favorite shows has nothing to do with how much I enjoyed the rehearsal.

What a weekend. I think that The Producers were on stage more than Lily Tomlin at last night's Drama Desk Awards. If it is any indication of the temperature of the Tony Awards (which it usually is), the Big Show in June should not be a surprise to anyone...

What was a huge (pleasant) surprise is the new recording of Jordan Roth's Rocky Horror Show. Wow. I can't get it out of my CD player. Jeffrey Lesser and Billy Rosenfield have succeeded in capturing a live performance in the studio. The talent as we knew is outstanding and the recording could not have been produced any better. Although I don't see a Tony in this show's future, I definitely see a Grammy. (On the other hand the math of a split Producers vote could end up with Tom Hewitt holding a prize, which is a better performance than Nathan and Matthew anyway.) This CD is a must have for those who are fans of the rock musical. (In case you have been putting off seeing Rocky, there is a 2 for 1 ticket special. Call 212-947-8844 and give code: "RH2for1" or print this page and bring it to the box office.)

Spotted at The Producers on Saturday night: Al and Tipper Gore, Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell and Kirk Douglas. Nathan Lane said hello from the stage, "Hey, Al Gore!" and gave a thumbs-up.

Talk of the town this weekend was that Faith Prince was extremely pleased with the substantial raise that Michael Reidel gave her in his column last week...

On this day in 1892, The opera "I Pagliacci," by Ruggiero Leoncavallo, was first performed, in Milan, Italy. On this day in 1959, The musical "Gypsy," inspired by the life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, opened on Broadway. Today's birthdays include: Mr. T, Judge Reinhold, Edwin Christy, Henri Rousseau and Fats Waller.

"The Producers' Dominates Drama Desk Awards, With 11
Mel Brooks's "The Producers" received 11 Drama Desk awards, a record. Nathan Lane won outstanding actor in a musical over, among others, his co-star, Matthew Broderick.
