[ P-D ]  Strike up the band! Musicals make a comeback BY GAIL PENNINGTON
Asked why she didn't get the part [of Roxie Hart in the movie "Chicago"], Chenoweth says, "I'd like to know that myself. It was sad for me, because of course I'd like to play a role like that. But it's also great that they got two major stars in there who did the job that they did, and then maybe we'll do more and more. I'm hoping this musical thing just keeps going."

[ NYP ]  'LITTLE FISH' DOESN'T HAVE LEG TO STAND ON by DONALD LYONS
'LITTLE Fish," a new musical about a young woman who comes to New York to write short stories, attempts to demonstrate how much a show can do without. There are no plot, no characters, no pretty music, no witty lyrics, no inventive movement, no sets.

[ CU ]  Red Demon London Review by Lizzie Loveridge
posted at 2/11/2003 08:48:10 AM by Tim Dunleavy | Item Link

The nominations for the 75th annual Academy Awards were just announced, and Chicago did pretty well, netting 13 of them. They were:

Best Art Direction: John Myhre (Art Direction) and Gord Sim (Set Decoration)
Best Cinematography: Dion Beebe
Best Costume Design: Colleen Atwood
Best Film Editing: Martin Walsh
Best Original Song: "I Move On" by John Kander and Fred Ebb
Best Sound: Michael Minkler, Dominick Tavella and David Lee
Best Supporting Actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones
Best Supporting Actress, Queen Latifah
Best Supporting Actor, John C. Reilly
Best Actress, Renee Zellweger
Best Director, Rob Marshall
Best Adapted Screenplay, Bill Condon
Best Picture

Strangely, Richard Gere was not nominated for his role as Billy Flynn. Other surprises, non-Chicago related: Christopher Walken in Catch Me If You Can and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for Best Picture. It should be exciting when the awards are announced in late March! For a complete list of all the nominations, visit Oscars.com.

[ NYT ]  Bombing on Broadway, Thriving on the Road By JESSE McKINLEY
A peculiar theatrical phenomenon is sweeping the nation: Broadway flops are becoming moneymakers on the road.

[ NYT ]  Rising Costs Alter Rules for Shows on Tour By JESSE McKINLEY
The news last week that the national tour of the Broadway production "Oklahoma!" would be cast with nonunion actors is just the latest indication of what union officials and producers alike say is the changing economic landscape on the road.

[ NYT ]  THEATER REVIEW | 'THE LAST SUNDAY IN JUNE': Taking Stock of the Gay-Rights Revolution By BRUCE WEBER
The obvious gay conventions at work in Jonathan Tolins' new play might be tiresome if convention itself weren't the object of his savvy scrutiny.

[ DN ]  The old man and the scene by Robert Dominguez
Though Ernest Hemingway wrote only one play, one would imagine that his sparse, dialogue-driven short stories would have been well-suited for the stage. Carol Hemingway apparently thought as much - even if it turns out to be a misguided concept

[ DN ]  Inge's tales of woe, well-acted by Robert Dominguez
With its moody sets, maudlin music and mostly morose tales, "Requiem for William," seven one-acts by William Inge that include new songs, is a rather somber tribute to the late playwright. That's only fitting, since Inge was a deeply troubled man.

If any American musical seemed destined for greatness, it was "House of Flowers." And yet the show got mixed reviews and barely eked out five months on Broadway.

Bring on 'da noise and make sure it's loud by Victoria Looseleaf
The old soft shoe ain't what it used to be.
Just ask John Trace, head audio engineer for the explosive tap dance extravaganza "Bring In 'Da Noise, Bring In 'Da Funk," at the Ahmanson Theatre through Saturday. Trace ensures Tony Award-winning master tapper-choreographer Savion Glover is properly hooked up with ankle mikes and transmitters that enhance the already-percussive rhythms in the show.

[ BG ]  Next step in ART director's odyssey: 'Ulysses' by Ed Siegel
Don't expect to see ''Annie'' or even ''Marty'' anytime soon, but ''Highway Ulysses'' hopes to usher in a new era of making music to ART theatergoers' ears.

[ LAT ]  RECORDINGS
'Chicago' has Roxie and moxie
Ren�e Zellweger's vocal timbre adds much to the movie's sountrack. Also reviewed: "Flower Drum Song," a bizarre Ethel Merman disco record and an all-star lovefest for Jerry Herman.
