By Nelson PressleySpecial to The Washington PostThursday, May 8, 2008; C01Out, brief candle: "Glory Days," the musical that made the great leap this spring from Arlington's Signature Theatre to Broadway, has closed the day after opening to hostile reviews.The modestly scaled show raised eyebrows for its fast track to the big time. Penned by two locals -- 23-year-old composer-lyricist Nick Blaemire and 24-year-old librettist James Gardiner -- the 90-minute, pop-driven musical deals with four friends sorting out their differences a year after high school.

"Glory Days" at the Circle in the Square Theatre, May 4, 2008 I think I've become my father. As I sat through the endless and intermissionless 90 minutes of "Glory Days" I kept thinking, "What could these kids possibly have to say at their age?" (I also kept looking around to see if my Dad was standing behind me whispering that in my ear, but alas, no.) Will (Steven Booth) has assembled his

El portal digital Star Magazine, sensacionalista como no se imaginan está diciendo ahora que Katie Holmes no podría reavivar su carrera en Broadway debido a que Tom Cruise no la dejaría ir con su hija Suri. Aseguran que ve en dicho viaje de trabajo una especie de escape de sus 'dominios' de la actriz de Mad Money.Por otro lado, Daily Mail asegura que Tom Cruise está preocupado por la amistad de Victoria Beckham y su esposa pues considera que la Posh se ha vuelto una "mala influencia" para Katie, pues su esposa la considera como un modelo a seguir. "Ella copia el look de Victoria y hasta se cortó el cabello del mismo modo; y está muy flaca porque está siguiendo la dieta de 900 calorías diarias de Victoria", dijo una fuente al periódico.

A magia da Broadway Quando se visita Nova Iorque pela primeira vez, torna-se imprescindível visitar a Broadway, o símbolo mundialmente famoso da magia do teatro. Antes dos espectáculos começarem, acendem-se milhões de lâmpadas que transformam a noite em dia; nessa hora, a Broadway torna-se verdadeiramente um local encantado. Em plena Manhattan, nesse bairro dos teatros e cinemas encontram-se mais de 30 casas de espectáculos, localizadas a Leste e Oeste da longa avenida em diagonal chamada Broadway, entre as ruas 41 e 53. Um passeio por essas ruas equivale a percorrer a história do teatro. Por exemplo, no Nederlander, na rua 41, outrora chamado National, Orson Welles, então com 22 anos, encenou em 1937 a sua controversa produção do Julius César, na qual os soldados de César e

Last year when my sister-in-law was here we saw Wicked on Broadway (and John Stamos saw it with us). I still think it's one of my all-time favorite shows. I wasn't sure how I was going to top the experience of sitting two rows in front of Uncle Jessie and seeing a really spectacular show. I ended up getting second-row seats to Curtains for a great price by using a Playbill.com discount code.

I was walking south on Broadway the other day to look at the Woolworth Building when I was struck by the spectacle of this vernacular burger franchise. I've written about more elegant buildings, including art deco masterpieces, contemporary condo developments, and modern office buildings, so this commentary represents a departure from my regular excellent taste.Many die-hard preservationists would find this building and what it represents as a violation of the architectural integrity of lower Manhattan. After all, the gray cinder block construction is mundane and the advertising signage excessive. It's way tacky.I have to say I like it. I enjoy the repetition of the golden arches, the purple neon window outlines on the second floor, the abundance of red, and the display of food products fe

Originally posted Saturday March 29, 2008 10:00 AM EDT Is Katie Holmes preparing to swap playdates for the Great White Way?

It would be her first play since high school and Holmes would be on stage six nights a wee

La actriz Katie Holmes planea hacer su debut en Broadway a finales de 2008. La actriz está cerrando negociaciones para participar en la puesta en escena All My Sons, junto a los veteranos actores John Lithgow y Dianne Wiest. “Katie ya se ha comprometido a formar parte de una temporada de la puesta en escena. Ella desempeñará el papel de una mujer que visita a su ex vecinos, la familia de un desaparecido piloto que ella una vez amó”, dijo una fuente al diario Daily Mail.Este es un nuevo intento de Katie en ser reconocida por sus cualidades artísticas, y no solo por ser la esposa de Tom Cruise.

When you think of NYC theatre tickets, you instantly think of Broadway or the Great White Way as it is also called. It earned the nickname "Great White Way" owing to the blaze and blitz of the lights of the various theatres and the illuminated billboards. Theatres and Broadway have links dating back to the 1800s. Broadway has had its ups and downs as do most industries. It was affected by the Prohibition, the stock market crash, the war and the lure of Hollywood that led many of its leading actors away. Broadway – A Tourists Attraction Beyond Comparison Broadway has been and will continue to be one of the greatest tourist attractions of the NYC. NYC theatre tickets have to be booked in advance, sometimes even months in advance, if you wish to experience the thrills of watching a hit show

According to Us Weekly, producers offered Nicole Richie the role of Roxie Hart in a Broadway production of Chicago. The new mom is reportedly undecided, but interested and talking it over with baby-daddy Joel Madden. “She’s definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby,” a Richie pal tells Us. “It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet.” “It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY Joel just got,” the source says. “It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now.” Whatever Richie’s decision, this year will be big for the new mom. “She is also weighing some other amazing offers but 2008 is going to be really exciting for her,” the source

Back in September I wrote a post Say No to DRUGS store chains, after 4 of my long-time neighborhood mom and pop stores and restaurants were forced out of business to make way for a mega-Walgreens store.I expressed my opinion that another mega drugstore chain was not needed or wanted on the Upper West Side of Manhattan since we already have Duanne Reed on every other block. Since July this is how my once vibrant block looks like now: Boarded up gutted interior with billboards. This is a familiar look throughout Manhattan. Landlords are not renewing leases from small retailers because they prefer to stay empty until a mega national big box chain comes along willing to pay much more for the space.All this time, I thought Walgreens was working on the interiors and they would be opening soon.

Want to meet a world-famous nanny? Watch Mary Poppins! As you enter the theatre and the story unfolds, a fragile figure carrying a packed bag and an unfurled umbrella, greets you on stage. She is Mary Poppins. She will entertain you like no other nanny can and will also tell you the secrets of modern life!Mary Poppins is a combined production of Walt Disney and Cameron Mackintosh productions. Bob Crowley has designed the sets that complete the look of the show. Mathew Bourne has given a fine choreography, while George Stiles has composed splendid music for the show. Every detail on and off stage has been considered by the creative team. This can very well be seen in the fine performance as well as the impeccable designing of the stage. It was P.L.Travers, who wrote the original Mary Poppins book. The book was released in 1934. During this time, twins were born to the Banks couple. There are total eight books on Mary Poppins that portray the voyage of life of the twins, John and Barbara

By: Elmo Kandel Although you can just as easily visit both Times Square and Broadway during the day, you won't experience the magic of those world famous neon signs until darkness falls and they light up the night sky. Times Square has been upgraded in recent years. The seedy reputation it had in the 1990s has gone, and new legislation has meant the adult industry has had to make way for more family familiar franchises. That doesn't mean the adult industry has gone altogether, but it isn't as prominent as it once was in this area. Today big name stores and restaurants vie for space beneath the giant billboards and tourists flock here to stand in the famous square and have their photos taken to show everyone back home that they've been to New York! Broadway isn't a place where you can take a photo of and have people instantly recognize where you are, but it's an experience not to be missed nevertheless. Whether you're a regular theater goer back home, or someone who's never seen

By: Al Terry Kira, a beautiful Greek muse comes down from heaven of Mt. Olympus and reaches Venice Beach in California. This happens in 1980. Kira has a purpose. She is here to motivate a struggling artist named Sonny to open Roller Disco, one of the biggest artistic creations ever. However, the story takes a turn when Kira falls in love with Sonny. So, what’s the fuss about it? Well, Kira is a magical angel from heaven while Sonny is a mortal! The story gets chaotic when Kira’s envious sisters make the most of this situation. Kerry Butler as Kira in this 90-minute Broadway production sets the audiences’ hearts soaring with her beautiful performance. The music is taken from the movie version of “Xanadu” that starred Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John. It includes the top 20 Billboard hits like ‘Magic’, ‘Xanadu’, ‘I’m alive’, and ‘Party All Over the World’.The musical has a fantastic comedy. Of course, it has to be! With Broadway’s topmost satirist Douglas C

By: Al Terry Once again, the stage of Broadway theatres is going to rock with the echo of applause. Once again, Broadway is going to experience one more smashing hits of its time. We are talking about “Xanadu” – the enchanting musical love story that’s all set to charm you like no other. This 90-minute musical-cum-comedy-cum-romantic story shows how dreams can be made real. Depicting the 1980 culture, this show is all about great music, romance, jealousy, and ambition. Sonny, an avid dreamer has a smashing idea of opening a Roller Disco. He is so determined to fulfill his dream that he calls upon Kira, a magical beauty from the heavens, to help her. But, when Kira starts getting romantically attracted to Sonny, it gives her sisters a chance to bring out the green-eyed monsters in them. What follows is a series of hilarious scenes that leaves the audience rolling on their sides with laughter. Kerry Butler has done a fantastic job on stage as Kira. Director Christopher Ashley is

Well, the people have spoken, when we announced earlier this year (see New South Boston Condos at Leachmore Point) that Pappas Enterprises was planning the development of a small, luxury boutique, condo development above the Red Line Broadway T-Stop, the anticipated name, Leachmore Point, received boos and hisses. Based on recent conversations with representatives from Pappas, the name will be changed, to the delight of many, to Eleven West Broadway. Eleven West Broadway (formerly known as Leachmore Point) will break ground in March 2008, and speed through a condensed construction cycle. No preconstruction units will be sold according to Pappas, once the condo development is complete, units will then be opened up for sale. Eleven West Broadway is slated to feature 64 high-end condos. The condo development will completely redesign and renovate the Broadway T-Stop (sounds good to us), and following suit with Pappas’ new vision for a better Boston, the building will be LEED certi

By: Jason Huang I felt touched but unable to express myself in words. It seemed like listening to a story that moved every parts of my heart. I even wanted to ask, what happened after that? when the music finished.That's how I felt when Ms. Qi Xiaochun played her instrument, the erhu, at a Chinese New Year Show sponsored by New Tang Dynasty Televison (NTDTV) last January.The erhu, sometimes known in the West as the Chinese violin or Chinese two string fiddle, is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument. The instrument looks so simple that I even tried to build an Erhu when I was about 12 years old. Of course, the sound quality was not good at all, but I really loved it for a while.The erhu can be traced back to instruments introduced into China more than a thousand years ago. It started to be popular in Southern China during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD), where it was called "Nan-hu", Nan meaning south in Chinese.Nowadays the erhu often plays an important role in national orchestras.

By: Al Terry The year 1972 was extraordinary. Not because of some space research or medical discovery, but due to the creation of one of the greatest shows at Broadway titled “Grease”. Two talented people, Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, wrote a love story and composed some fine tunes, and combined them both. The result was a smashing play depicting high school love with a rock’n’roll party that the audience just couldn’t forget. Today, in the year 2007, “Grease” still continues to entertain the audience. It has the same magic as it had three decades ago. No one could have predicted that the five-hour show, which was opened in Chicago in 1972, could break all records and continue to be shown for decades! However, when “Grease” was shown outside Chicago, it was reduced to two hours. The noteworthy thing about “Grease” is that it started with amateur actors and a simple garage background. Later, when the movie “Grease” was made, it starred the much adored John Trav

If you’ve ever been to New York City, you know there are tons of things to do. The only problem is having enough time to see and do everything. And two Broadway shows are pulling out all the stops to help ensure that you stop by and see them.Jennifer Garner and Claire Danes are starring in their own Broadway musicals. And producers are hoping that hiring big names will bring in big draws at the box office. Source http://celebrity-gossip.net/

Gayken is back. I’m actually liking it, why? Because I love to hear Michael K talk shit about him.Has Gayken come out of the closet yet? Hmm. I don’t think he has, but, I’m not going to be the one to tell him he’s a homo, I’ve been getting into trouble for that…Aiken is going to be in a Broadway show that starts in January. The director had nothing but good things to say about him, but you don’t really care about that, do you? Nah.Spamalot is the name of the show, and supposedly they’re expecting it to sell out.

The Human Cyburger and D'Angus Beefheart hit the Broadway Grill & Brewery and cross the streams of grilled meats. (yeah we know the photos are a bit murky).Human Cyburger had "The Jumbo Ultra Dogburger" that consisted of 1/3 pounder, grilled hot dog, egg, and cheese. Served with chips for $8.50. D'Angus Beefheart stayed on task with the "Pub Patty Melt". 1/3 pounder, grilled onions, swiss, "pub made 1000 Island dressing" (getting fancy) on rye. $7.50 with chips.Also, if you like a spicy sumthin' sumthin', you might want to try their chili-beer. Painful, yet delicious.Broadway Grill & Brewrey1700 NE Broadway St.Portland, OR 97232(503)284-4460

You read it right: the once no-no-notorious band is taking on Broadway—sort of. Their new album Red Carpet Massacre, set to be released on November 13th, is being celebrated New York style with a nine show run at the Barrymore theater on Broadway, says Billboard.com.

NEW YORK - A monster and a mermaid would seem to have the new musical market cornered on Broadway this fall, but it is plays rather than musicals that — surprisingly — are dominating the first half of the season.

One of the recurring themes on this blog seems to revolve around my love of great pop punk and reconciling that with my inner critic. And as I get older I'm getting harder and harder to impress, especially when it comes to pop-punk. There is so much poorly played and watered down music in this genre that it is becoming an increasingly daunting task to find anything of value. So much indie rock suffers from the same problems, but the perceived notion that it is somehow more "mature" causes many critics to unfortunately write off anything and everything that might fall under the banner of pop-punk in favor of bland and uninspired indie rock. They might never know what they're missing. Oregon's Broadway Calls has a new self-titled album that might just turn even the most jaded critic into a pop punk believer. The first half of the album is nearly flawless and starts off so strong that it would be almost impossible for any band to keep that up over fourteen songs. But with only a
