The Broadway Review

I have to eat a little crow...best eaten cold.

The Broadway Review is a huge hit! People love it!

I guess people are suckers for a musical.

The majority of acts are well done with a couple of them brilliant. Mainly due to the choreography.

The choreographer is a pro. She danced in LA and NY for 10 years and taught dance for some more years. She has utilized simple but effective dance steps and hand gestures that have impact and beauty. Fantastic! Even with very, very marginal dancers.

And there is some talent in the group, Yella, of course, included and at the top of the heap!

And there is some creative directing. Each of the eight segments has it's own director. Ultimately a mistake...one director works best...but it has it's charms in this show.

My skit in most ways is a flop. But it is saved by good directing and staging. Plus I do give a solid performance even though the real lead, Annie Oakley, is played very weakly and disappears in the act because she can't be heard...a blessing really because she can't sing.

The audiences have gone crazy over this thing. The booze served before the show and at intermission helps mucho!

It is a thrill to be involved in something this popular.

This show was video taped. I hope to get you a link to Youtube.com so you can see some of it.
