Broadway Watch
If you want to see a Broadway show for the second time?
Just curious. Heard a lot of people who say they're going to see a particular program on Broadway for the second or third time, they have to buy another ticket? I know the question sounds silly, but it is hard to believe anyone would pay say 60 others dollars (at least) to see a show they've seen. Or is there a discount for multiple visits?
If only! But, no, you have to pay every time you go. Like a movie. Discounts are available, however. TKTS in Times Square offers steeply discounted tickets for the day of the function. Indeed, if you know of a Broadway show that only charges $ 60.00, will you let me know? (Ha, ha!) In addition, there is no such thing as a season pass to a house Broadway. There are theater companies that offer seasonal packages (Manhattan Theatre Club, Roundabout, etc), but entitles you to go to several or even all of the sample in a season at a reduced price – not to see the show itself.

Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast) $9.98 One of the most common complaints about musicals is that the books are flimsy pretexts from which to hang numbers. Wicked runs into the opposite problem: it has a great plot, but too often the songs just get in the way. Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel of the same name, Wicked tells us what happened between Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, before Dorothy showed up in Oz. … |

Les Miserables: The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast in Concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall $24.93 The 10th anniversary concert video of the international musical sensation Les Misérables might be the best thing to appease fans until a full-fledged movie comes along. Or it might be even better, as feature films are often subject to extramusical casting considerations and this 1995 dream cast is superb. Reprising their roles from the original London company are Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Michael… |

Beauty and the Beast (Three-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo in DVD Packaging) $21.98 The film that officially signaled Disney’s animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured.

The Lion King [VHS] $4.56 Anybody who struts around with Simba’s hard-won authority deserves this royal DVD read-along from Disney.

Mary Poppins (Two-Disc 45th Anniversary Special Edition) $17.94 There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) $4.45 Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no sense of setting; it’s almost as if the whole thing is happening in a void. John Huston nominally directed–no doubt to make money … |
