Editor’s Notes: Delightful, Diverse, Delicious New Season
Movie adaptations and revivals outweigh the new. Find out where and when.
Women of all ages will be delighted this Spring in an array of productions dedicated to all ages from little girls: Frozen, (adapted from the beloved animated movie, promises to be all that and more under the hand of noted director Michael Grandage and additional songs by Robert and Kristen Lopez), to bigger girls Mean Girls (adapted by Tina fey from a 2004 cult classic film, with music by her husband promises to be “unapologetically shallow”,) to really big girls Three Tall Women, (Edward Albee’s semi autbiograhic opus that reignited his career, luring back the notable Glenda Jackson, who took years off in the British Parliament), And Dolly (1964) will be joined by her older sisters Julie in Carousel (1945) and Liza in My Fair Lady (1956) to the consternation of some “Me, too”-ers who appear “abused” as seen through today’s social lens.
Rocktopia the only new musical (decrfibrd as “a mix of Mozart and Rock & Role) “ will be joined by two juke box musicals: Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaretville, and Donna Summer’s Summer, both jukebox musicals containing their music and therefore nit legitimately “new”.. If you’re tired of paying big bucks for short shows bring your cushions and coffee for three very long ones: the only new play, Harry Potter, and Angels in America, both in two parts, and a very long The Iceman Cometh with Denzel Washington, the only mega star in the constellation except perhaps for the return of Glenda Jackson. The remaining plays are revivals: Lobby Hero, Children of a Lesser God, St. Joan, Travesties and The Boys in the Band opening in May.
The new season is shorter, but Oh so sweet!
