Musical Theatre West Presents Meet Me In St. Louis, Oct. 31 - Nov. 15

31 October 2009 2:30 AM, PDT | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »

Long Beach, CA—Musical Theatre West opens its 57th season with Meet Me In St. Louis, the stage adaptation of the beloved Judy Garland classic. Previews of this production begin on October 30th and opens October 31, 2009 and runs through November 15, 2009 at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach.

Meet Me In St. Louis is a rare treasure in musical theatre and is based on the heartwarming 1944 MGM film starring Judy Garland. This show harkens back to a simpler, sepia-tinted time as the story follows the Smith family at the 1904 World's Fair. We see how their love and respect for each other is tempered with the genuine humor that can only be generated by such a close family. According to Mtw producers, Meet Me In St. Louis is "perfect for the entire family!" This production with lavish costumes and Victorian sets also includes classic musical numbers, "The Boy Next Door, »

This post is a response to several comments in the Ask Karina thread, asking me about my favorite films of all time. I find it extraordinarily difficult to make "top" or "best" lists of any kind; I'm uncomfortable making reductive decisions and I feel silly standing behind them. For years, when asked to name my favorite films of all time, I've listed three, in no particular order: A Star is Born (the 1954 version, directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland and James Mason); Barry Lyndon; and Ghostbusters. I'm both very serious ab ... »

Obama On My Mind at Langston Hughes Pac

24 October 2009 12:44 PM, PDT | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »

Seattle's Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center is presenting the Us premiere of the new musical comedy "Obama On My Mind".  And I have to say, the show is one of the most blatant and unnecessary abuses of President Obama's good name and the good feelings people have toward him since the Franklin Mint issued the Obama Commemorative half dollar.

The story (if you could call it that), written by Teddy Hayes, centers on a small town's Obama campaign headquarters just days before the election and the crazy group of volunteers working in the office.  After many speeches about why they like Obama and backstory on themselves, they decide to put on a show (a la Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney) as a fundraiser.  Why they are putting on a fundraiser days before the election when it would do no good is beyond me but there you have it.  And that's pretty much it. »

Liza Minnelli brought the cast of the new 'Sex and the City' movie to tears when she performed for them.

The iconic singer - who has a cameo appearance as herself in the upcoming film - played a song for the cast when shooting wrapped on her scene, before making an emotional speech.

According to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, actor Nicholas Rodriguez said: "Liza's scene is ginormous with a huge budget and pretty much everybody is in it, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Noth, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon.

"After the shoot, Liza said, 'I would like to have everyone's attention,' and they pulled out a stool for her at the piano and gave her a mic and she sang a favourite of her mother, Judy Garland.

"Then she said, 'Thank you for letting me play with you guys.' It was so heartfelt and genuine. »

We already knew Liza Minnelli would drop into Sex and the City 2 for a rendition of "Single Ladies." But according to one actor who shot the film's big wedding scene with her, it was one of her mother's songs that stopped the show. "After the shoot, she said, 'I would like to have everyone's attention,' and they pulled out a stool for her at the piano and gave her a mic and she sang a favorite of her mother, Judy Garland. She said, 'Thank you for letting me play with you guys,'" said Nicholas Rodriguez. "It was so heartfelt and genuine. I got choked up and several people were sobbing like a baby, but I'm not going to name names because he might be really embarrassed." That's your cue, Movieline readers!

Playwright Jim Cartwright chose the song, titled 'Sunlight' and co-written with Jamie Norton and Ben Mark, after Vickers 'brought a tear' to his eye when she first sang it. "It had always been my intention to write an original song for the end of my play, when Little Voice finally sings in her own voice," he said. "However, when we first premiered it at the National Theatre in 1992 we ran out of time and a Judy Garland song was used. "When I first heard 'Sunlight' with Diana Vickers singing (more) »

The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review

15 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I had a friend who had done some jail time. I was always very curious about this because I knew that it would be hugely unlikely I would ever see the inside of a cell (knock on wood). He told that one of the most beloved movies by prisoners was Wizard of Oz. This made all the sense in the world. Wizard of Oz is the ultimate escapist fantasy, which betrays the film’s original message. My thoughts after the jump.

Ironically, what people remember most is the vivid Technicolor of Oz more than the sepia toned world of Kansas. We love our family, but the imagination is stirred by everything that happens when not at home, when not in a safe place. And yet that simple message that there is no place like home, that desire to return to one’s family is pretty profound in the movie. Wizard of Oz, »

DVD Playhouse—October 2009

By

Allen Gardner

The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’S Edition (Warner Bros.) A true highlight in digital restoration technology, Warner Bros. restoration of the 1939 classic is cause for celebration. The Technicolor of the late ‘30s looks as though it was shot yesterday, and is especially stunning on Blu-ray, which was produced by scanning each of the film’s original Technicolor camera negatives using 8K resolution. From this scan, a final “capture” master was created in 4K, yielding twice the resolution seen in the master utilized for the film’s previous DVD release. Judy Garland’s Dorothy is charming as ever, and the entire cast: Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch, are all stellar. Four disc set bonuses include: Sing-along track; Documentaries and featurettes; Two 1914 silent films produced by Oz author L. Frank Baum, based on his stories »

Q&A: Singer Nellie McKay: Channeling Doris Day

13 October 2009 8:03 AM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »

With her blond hair, winsome smile, and beguiling voice, Nellie McKay could be our postmodern Doris Day (though “McKay” rhymes with “dye” rather than “day”). The 27-year-old has made three albums of her own tunes—piano-based, genre-defying songs that combine traditional sounds with sharply intelligent, sometimes acerbic lyrics. On October 13, she’s releasing a Doris Day tribute album, Normal As Blueberry Pie—with nary an ironic note. McKay, who at times sounds disconcertingly like Judy Garland circa The Wizard of Oz, spoke to me by phone about her admiration for “Miss Day,” touching on animal rights, Whispering Jack Smith, the pit bulls who share her N.Y.C. home, and what it means to be the girl next door. Mary Lyn Maiscott: I’ve seen you three times, and every time was something different: an intimate concert of your original tunes, an outdoor concert of standards for swing dancers, and »

Comic Review: ‘Kill Audio’

Kill Audio #1 – Boom! Studios – $3.99

Score: 8.5

Back at San Diego Comic-Con, I had the pleasure of sitting down to talk to Claudio Sanchez, lead singer of Coheed and Cambria and writer of the Amory Wars about his upcoming comic release from Boom! Studios entitled Kill Audio. Check out the interview here (Part 1 and Part 2).  This week, Kill Audio hit shelves and delivered upon what we were expecting from my talk with Claudio and brought a whole lot more to the table as well.

In addition to the knives that through knives, the angry and unstable lead character who cannot die and is constantly haunted by the Fix-ler who is always trying to kill him and of course the jive talking, blow snorting chicken that Claudio had talked to us about, Kill Audio also brings to life a plethora of new and outrageous characters in a complete insane fantasy world that felt »

Scarlett Johansson Wishes She Was Judy Garland

12 October 2009 12:30 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Scarlett Johansson released two albums, in which she sings no less (as if a pretty girl would play the guitar), and people didn.t hate them as much as you.d expect. So blame those people when Scarlett Johansson plays Judy Garland, because now she.s convinced she.s a vocalist. Talking to Spinner Scarlett revealed that she.s always wanted to do musicals and as a youngster taking vocal lessons, she always dreamed of being Judy Garland. By that I.m pretty sure she means she wanted to sing in movies, not that she wanted to grow up to be an abusive, pill-popping, alcoholic. The reason you should care is that ScarJo may now be looking for a musical to do. She.s excited that musicals are making a comeback in theaters and says of her dream to sing on film, .It's nice that I maybe have a chance »
