He has run the TKTS booth since it opened 30 years ago on the little concrete spit known as Duffy Square. And as the booth celebrates its anniversary this week, he has decided to call it quits.

[ STARS ]  BIG RIVER REVIVAL IS A UNIQUE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE
by ELLIS NASSOUR
We�re taught nothing can be �most unique�? It�s impossible, say English teachers, because if something is unique, it�s unique. Well, there�s an exception to every rule and that exception will soon be at Roundabout Theatre Company's American Airlines Theatre [beginning Tuesday, July 1] in the form of the return of the award-winning family musical Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Why, you ask, is a revival of a Tony-winning musical �most unique�? The answer is easy.

[ NYP ]  BORN IN THE U.K. By MICHAEL RIEDEL
TWO London hits with both snob and star appeal are aiming for Broadway in the spring.
This article is far more notable and interesting for the information it presents about Martin Beck. Who's that, you say? As hard as this may be to believe, there used to be a theater named after him on Broadway. (I know, I find it hard to believe, too, but it's true!) I can't help but wonder if there will be legions of people who will refer to the new theatre that was christened this week as the Martin Beck Theatre through the end of time. I certainly know people who refer to the American Airlines Theatre as the Selwyn, so it would not be unprecedented. A better question still is when Al Hirschfeld's name will be deemed unimportant enough to be fair game for removal from the marquee above that theater on 45th Street west of Eighth Avenue.

[ NYT ]  A Theater Is Renamed for Al Hirschfeld by ROBIN POGREBIN
It was intended to be a celebratory renaming ceremony and 100th-birthday party as the Martin Beck Theater became the Al Hirschfeld Theater. But the unveiling of a new Broadway marquee last night on West 45th Street turned out also to be a bittersweet memorial tribute to the dignified artist who sketched in the dark on the aisle.

[ YN ]  Broadway Names Theater After Hirschfeld by MICHAEL KUCHWARA, AP Drama Writer
From Arthur Miller to Carol Channing to Whoopi Goldberg to Nathan Lane, they spoke and sang the praises of the show-biz caricaturist during a joyous ceremony in which the Martin Beck Theatre, a venerable Broadway playhouse, was rechristened the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

[ DN ]  'Mack' is tuneful but not Darin by Robert Dominguez
As musical biographies go, "Mack the Knife: The Life and Music of Bobby Darin" is more splish than splash. It's a breezy, song-filled show about the pop crooner, yet there's too much emphasis on Darin's familiar, finger-snapping music and not nearly enough on his short, fascinating life.

[ P ]  Mark Mancina and Lebo M's African Sound for Lion King
Over the past 75 years there have been many musicals deriving from the African-American experience.
But the manner in which director Julie Taymor and her collaborators transformed The Lion King from a high-minded children's entertainment to a ritualistic allegory is really without precedent in the annals of old Broadway.

What a disappointment. The combination of Robert Lepage, the endlessly inventive French-Canadian director and multimedia maestro, and Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter whose life was as colorful and strange as her surreal canvases, seemed, at least on paper, like a marriage made in heaven.

[ CST ]  'Amsterdam' holds bitterly true lessons BY HEDY WEISS

[ CT ]  Stephen Sondheim's journey to 'Bounce' by Chris Jones
"Oy, Oy, Oy," kvetches Stephen Sondheim, the iconic composer whose name launched a thousand books and journals, and whose personal approval is more valuable and sought after in theatrical circles than the highest-priced therapist in Manhattan.

[ CT ]  `Bounce' huge for Sondheim Review by Charles Storch
The quarterly magazine, which describes itself as "dedicated to the work of the musical theater's foremost composer and lyricist," has been primed for a new Stephen Sondheim show literally all its life.
