The SPACE JAM website →
So this is what websites looked like in 1996. I could’ve coded that when I was 15.

Adam Pascal Responds to SPIDER-MAN Controversy →
BroadwayWorld should be arrested for giving him a platform to speak on. I thought he’d fallen into a black hole. When was the last time he was in anything?

The Cherry Lane Theatre closing is incredibly sad. Where are the philanthropists with unlimited funds to keep these institutions open?

Top 5 Moments in Theatre 2010
A friend asked me for suggestions on what his Top 5 Theatre Moments of 2010 should be this week. I started throwing ideas out there that we’d experienced together and then I thought that, since the greats (Brantley, Isherwood, Feldman, Cote, etc) are making their lists, I should make my own list.

Actor Injured in Fall During ‘Spider-Man’... →
The boy falls from the sky, indeed! Or the stage, whatever.
I can’t believe I went to sleep before all of this happened. I hope the actor is okay, and I hear he is. I also hear that Jennifer Damiano is fine. Click above for a (bootleg) video of the fall last night during the show.
It doesn’t look like a cable snapped - it looks like it wasn’t connected to anything at all. ...

New LIRR Fares & Fare Policies Take Effect... →
I guess I won’t EVER be buying a round-trip ticket again because those morons don’t always collect tickets. A $10 refund fee? My one-way ticket is $10.75. Eat shit and die, MTA.

‘Spider-Man’ Opening Delayed Again →
I’m just through reading a chapter of Cy Feuer’s memoir (“I Got the Show Right Here”) where him and his partners delayed their opening (I think the show was Silk Stockings) for about 2 months on the road until it was ready and then it opened to be a hit. So, I am all for this.
Yes, delay it and make the second act comprehensible. Turn it into a hit.

Patti to Play 'Dolly' in HELLO, DOLLY! Revival? →
What do we all think? Yay, or nay? I’m relieved. At least this isn’t a show that’s been revived in the last ten years.

Spider-man Updates:
So according to a friend who was there, the first act is exactly the same. In the second act, when Spiderman is defeating the Sinister Six, there’s a bit more flying but nothing outrageous.
At the end of the show, when Arachne confronts Peter, she has captured MJ and has her hanging in a spiderweb, which apparently has a lot of technical problems and took forever to make it onto the...

Word on the street is...
…. there are major changes being incorporated into Spider-man tonight for the first time. I’m crossing my fingers that it’s a new second act. I have a friend who is going tonight who is going to update me on what the changes are (he’s seen it once already), if there are any. Stay tuned!

Today in theatre..
So there were a lot of interesting articles that went up on the New York Times ArtsBeat Blog today. It was a good day in theatre.
It was announced that Stephen Spinella and Michael Esper, among others, were cast in an upcoming production of “The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism With a Key to the Scriptures,” by prolific playwright Tony Kushner. The...

The None-Mover Becomes a Magician
So, I talked briefly (extremely) about the dude whom was trying to get into my pants after two dates, right? That was quite annoying and unappreciated. Then I dealt with the exact opposite, and I was frustrated. The last time I dated a dude who was respectful enough (or too scared to) not to make a move on the first three dates I was a junior in college. It confused the hell out of me and...
On Paying For Theatre
I know many people boast that they don’t pay for theatre. These are also people who want to have careers in the theatre. I get comp’d into shows now and then, but I pay for a handful of shows too and I feel like it’s my responsibility to do exactly that.
My rationalizing: If I won’t pay for theatre now, how can I expect other people to pay to see the shows [that I will...
