 Pippin at Paper Mill
A genuine beauty with incredible stage presence — watch for this lady in the future!
His good looks and sculpted physique make Pippin’s multi-sexual exploits a pleasure to watch, and he brings sensitivity to the role’s more tender moments – though at times, I felt the direction did him (and his character) a disservice.
With the help of a troupe of players, he tries everything from war to drugs to orgiastic sex, and the players urge him to be different by trying a fiery suicide.

 Funny Lady Film Review - Time Out Film
Funny Girl becomes Funny Lady as Streisand completes the tragi-comic tale of Fanny Brice in a curate's egg of a musical blockbuster.
The lady can still turn a one-liner with sweet malevolence - 'when you're a star, everything you do is magic' as she falls over in the wardrobe - but she can't save a galumpher any more than she could save the (far worse) Hello Dolly.
The opening is good, with Streisand taking off Brice again with astounding ease and the plausible Billy Rose soon established by Caan.

 Cole Porter and Moss Hart's Jubilee: Still Smart, Funny and Tuneful (BroadwayWorld.com)
Their productions of musicals like Lady, Be Good, The New Yorkers, I Married an Angel, and now Jubilee, give many of us a first hearing of lyrics, music and dialogue by significant musical theatre artists which have gone unrecorded and unpublished.
The big news on Broadway in October of 1935 was that George Gershwin and Cole Porter each had new musicals opening in the same week.
Although Cole Porter's score contains two solid nuggets of musical theatre gold, the flippantly fatalistic "Just One of Those Things" and the sumptuously melodious "Begin the Beguine", it's the more obscure numbers that stand out when hearing it all in the context of Hart's book.

All of his writings include different subjects such as a young man that Shakespeare was good friends with, a dark lady he was in love with, a rival poet, advice, and his long absence from London (World Book Encyclopedia) Sonnets are the most famous of Shakespeare’s works.
Sonnets are lyric poems made up of fourteen lines and sound more like a song without musical instruments than a poem.
Hopkins' sonnets "No Worst, there is none" and " I wake and feel the fell of Dark, Not Day" show his mental anguish caused by spiritual agony.

 CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
When Stalin pulled Shostakovich's opera "Lady Macbeth" from the Soviet stage, the composer had good reason to fear for his life.
"Lady Macbeth" made its debut on Jan. 22, 1934, at Leningrad's Maly Opera Theater, and two days later at the Musical Theater of Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in Moscow.
"Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District" takes its story from a short tale of the same name by the 19th-century writer Nikolai Leskov.

The Tonys were also good to "The Light in the Piazza," a romantic musical of young love and its rending limitations, which was the biggest winner in terms of number of awards.
The show, produced by the nonprofit Lincoln Center Theater, took six awards, sweeping the musical design categories and winning for its ambitious, complex score by Adam Guettel and the performance of its leading lady, Victoria Clark.
It picked up four Tonys, including best play, best direction (Doug Hughes) and best actress in a play, Cherry Jones, who portrays an accusing nun.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Jane Eyre
With Jane Eyre, Marla Schaffel joins that small group of great stars of the American musical theatre - Angela Lansbury, Julie Andrews, and Bernadette Peters - who, lady-like to the core, can effortlessly carry a major musical on their delicate shoulders and enchant an audience with a smile.
James Barbour’s Rochester makes one realize how long it’s been since we’ve seen an emotionally complex, masculine and virile character successfully portrayed on the Broadway musical stage.
Jane Eyre, which opened yesterday afternoon at the Brooks Atkinson theatre, has been brought to the stage as a musical of majestic grace and more than a little grandeur.
