A Chorus Line: From Priscilla To Mario Lopez

A Chorus Line: From Priscilla To Mario Lopez

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Once a cutting-edge show originally starring Priscilla Lopez (pictured, left), A Chorus Line is now a revival caught jumping the shark with Mario Lopez (pictured, right).

I'll leave the choicest comments to my friend Chris Caggiano over at Everything I Know I Learned In Musicals.

P.S. I can't wait to see the real deal later this month when I see In The Heights at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).

At 05 March, 2008, E said...: I hope you like "In the Heights" as much as I did. I saw it off-Broadway last year, and really, really enjoyed it.

Now, I also enjoyed "Legally Blonde," but for different reasons. "Blonde" made me giggle. "Heights" made me laugh and cry and think.

Hope I haven't influenced your experience. : )
At 05 March, 2008, Steve On Broadway (SOB) said...: E, I am very much looking forward to In The Heights, although from what I understand, it has been substantially reworked since you saw it last summer.

Will you be making a second trip to see it?

Great to hear from you. It's been far too long!
At 06 March, 2008, Anonymous said...: I am seeing "In the Heights" this Satuday, March 8th and let me just say I am excited beyond words. I loved "In the Heights" off-broadway, having seen it 4 times, and now I am so excited to see it on Broadway.

I know one of the actors in it pretty well and have gone to almost all of the shows he has been in, but I have to say I have fallen in love with "In the Heights". I will post a review about it Saturday night on my new blog, Lightupbroadway.blogspot.com, if anyone is interested in reading it.

Appreciate the heads-up on In The Heights and will look forward to reading your review!

As someone who has been involved in both politics and public relations, it's no wonder I love watching theatre. Good or bad, it's the raw energy of seeing a live performance that gets my adrenaline pumping. From the moment I saw my very first Broadway show ("Annie" in London in 1979), I was hooked. Now I see as many as 70 shows each year ranging from soaring musicals to two-hander plays. And these eyes just may be in an audience near you!
