Broadway Fun: 7

 In doing this review of who I have seen and lived on Broadway, some of my very very favorites were overlooked. Here they are. These three are great. I have never seen them perform poorly.

Bonus: At the Bottom is Bryce singing on the Tony's from a Gentleman's Gide to Love and Murder.


Top Row: Bobby Cannavale! You may have seen him, he plays very often on TV (Boardwalk Empire, Will and Grace, Angie Tribeca among many).

  • Bobby Cannavale: Headshot
  • Lifespan of a Fact: with Daniel Radcliffe AND Cherry Jones! This was a great story with fantastic players, based on a true story. It was hilarious and serious.
  • The Big Knife: A story about Hollywood. it wasn't great but Bobby has never looked better.
  • Motherfucker with The Hat: A grittier look at life with Chris Rock.
  • The Hairy Ape: A show at The Armory. It is a very old show about how Industry is taking away man's uniqueness, Because it was the Armory and they do great staging, it was played on a revolving round stage where each scene was brought in front of the audience on train tracks. Bobby was amazing playing a broken man who rebels.

Second Row:

  • Sherie Rene Scott:  Headshot
  • Aida: She was in with the original cast. She blew us away. She only was overlooked because Heather Headly was stupendous.
  • Everyday Rapture: An off-Broadway show - at 2nd Stage - about her life (she was a Quaker), loves and Broadway. Later it moved onto Broadway
  • The Front Page: Wasted in the role of the girlfriend.

Third Row

  • Bryce Pinkerton: Yale Honored Alumni
  • The Heidi Chronicles: This was the only non-Musical I have seen him in. The show was utterly forgettable.
  • Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson: he was very good, as was all the cast, but I only had eyes for Benjamin Walker.
  • The Gentleman's Gide to Love and Murder: He played Monty Navarro, the disowned nephew of the great Diesquith family. He made the show!
  • Superhero: An off-Broadway show (again at 2nd Stage) that was a disappointing story, with unforgettable voices (his and Kate Baldwin's)

As for the bonus here it is:

Sometimes I despair at age. But this gives me hope.

 I mean, I don't want a child, but I think she is older than Tony Randel. Unlike Tony, she pushed this out!
