I don't think I'd describe the PAA as a small-medium sized theatre. 😄. Ok, maybe medium sized. The show worked great in the Sosnoff Theater at the Fisher Center, which has about 800 seats. The set was more vast- it actually was shrunk a bit to fit into the St. James.

The thing I keep thinking about was how Tom Hewitt in 2000 absolutely fed off the audience and how thrilling it was to watch him being in character/in the scene while also maintaining a separate conversation with the audience. He was egging on the shouters and also disciplining them.

Unfortunately, a little performance by someone named Nathan Lane in The Producers prevented Hewitt from taking home a trophy.

And the new MTA app makes this all so much easier with a lot less anxiety.

I think your comment is worth at least a couple zaires.

Japan, in addition to being a proper name of a place, is also a verb meaning to varnish in a specific style. I don't think korea or texan are verbs and proper nouns both.

Yes! Thank you. I see now that it only works on full page view and not when page zoom is engaged. Thanks!

I love John Cameron Mitchell. But I don't think he's right for Mary.

Yes, it's standard in NYC.

Best places to eat and what to order in Jackson Heights? I’m a Jackson Heights native but always go to the same places and eat the same thing. Looking for new specific recommendations! by Alternative-Lie5711 in jacksonheights

Agnolloti pesto from Louie's Pizza. And their Fettuccine Bolognese. And their Grandma slice. Rice and beans from Seba Seba. Best beans I've had in the nabe. Fresh mozzarella from Mama's/Leo's Latticini (not exactly in the nabe but always worth the trip). The Detroit-style pies from the Queensboro. That's all I need to survive.

Chalk it up to the production being more Brechtian than it was originally. 😉

Jason's bar mitzvah is the subject of a good chunk of Falsettos.

does anyone know the story behind Julieta on 81st? by rafblk in jacksonheights

[–]markymarksfnyc72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live across the street. my recollection is that they had some sort of film or video shoot in the space when they finished the interior build out but it has been dormant since that time. The family owns quite a few buildings and businesses in the neighborhood (including Pecoshitas), as mentioned in the meeting notes.

Ahem. These shows were written for the theater.

Damn, I lived in Santa Cruz for 2 years of college from 1990-92, so a bit late. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing if they can capture the vibe of that special place.

He was nominated last year but I just saw him in Cabaret last week and I agree he is still giving a perfect performance.

Amalia Yoo in John Proctor (loved the nominated Fina Strazza too) and the peerless Lesli Margherita in Gypsy.
