Critic's Choice: A Monster's Eyes Reflected in the Glare of the Footlights

King plays lead in 'Goldwyn'
Play opens Off Broadway March 13
Alan King stars as legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn in "Mr. Goldwyn." The new play by Marsha Lebby and John Lollos opens Off Broadway March 13 at the Promenade Theater, where it replaces Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things."

Revival Finds New Love In Old Play
When I first saw John Van Druten's "Voice of the Turtle" 40-odd years ago as an unimaginably innocent teenager in suburban Milwaukee, I didn't understand why people were so taken with a play about the propriety of a soldier spending the night in a single girl's apartment.

Crain's New York: Cablevision appointment fuels sale buzz
Cablevision Systems Corp. has named a former AOL Time Warner executive as president of its New York cable business, fueling buzz that Cablevision is looking to sell the business to the media giant.
What does this have to do with Broadway? Follow the money... Cablevision owns Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. They have been involved in many productions (Christmas Carol, Pimpernel, Wizard of Oz...) AOL Time Warner wants to get into the Broadway business (nee: Disney), dangling its feet in the water with the Batman project among other things. If this rumored sale happens, it will definitely have an impact on Broadway, if only to give Disney some competition. But in bigger ways, if AOL Time Warner takes a large stake in Broadway properties, they most certainly have a distribution and marketing channels. Can you imagine everyone who logs on to AOL getting a popup that says, "You've Got Tickets!"

Report: London Private Lives May Reach Rodgers

Well, I totally zoned on this one. I meant to mention that on Discovery's The Learning Channel December 29 and December 30 was "Wedding Story" which featured Broadway stars Paige Davis and Patrick Page, in their actual wedding. (They met on the Beauty and the Beast tour.) Paige is the host of TLC's popular show, Trading Spaces. Hopefully TLC will re-broadcast "Wedding Story" around Valentine's Day.

Word is that Santa has brought me one of my presents late: I asked for a weekly fix of Michael Buckley, the TV Guide writer and former Broadway Online columnist. TheaterMania, who picked up a 3x a week Peter Filichia after the closing of BroadwayOnline, has added Michael Buckley to the TheaterMania roster. Mr. Buckley will be writing once a week, mostly interviewing personalities. Starting the new year: Zoe Caldwell. Of course, we will link to the interview as soon as it is posted...

And while we are talking about Santa's presents, Hollywood Media Corp, which owns Broadway.com, has had something special to cheer about over the past three months. While all the uncertainty in the stock market, Hollywood Media Corp, which is considered a pure play dot com, has seen its stock price double since the end of October. Even in the face of Tribune Company selling its entire 9% stake in the company, the shares were immediately purchased and held the stock price.

And finally, since everyone else is wrapping up the year, I thought I would as well. BroadwayStars has grown a bit this year. We now have approximately 35,000 unique readers every day. This never could have happened without some writing and linking help from my friends: Catherine Skidmore, Mathew Murray, Susan Heim, James Galla, Seth Christenfeld and Bill Jennings. My buddies Douglas Maxwell and Keith Johnson on the technology side who keep me from breaking everything. (More likely, they fix what I already broke.) The un-named people who I don't name so that they can keep their jobs (they know who they are!) thanks to you too. This site has been brought to you this year by a generous grant from American Express. Lets hope they hire me again next year!

The last thing to mention is that theater people are the best people in the world. Smart, caring, insane, dependable and dreamers. The major media talked about how America changed after September 11th: Americans are smarter, caring, insane, dependable and dreamers. And what a wonderful feeling that is to be unified in goodness. Theater people already knew that.
