'The Iron Lady'

Just got home from seeing 'The Iron Lady.' Meryl, you amaze and astound me. What a performance! The theater was packed and as I left I heard people all around just talking about how marvelous Meryl is. And for those of you who are old Buffy fans like me, good ole Giles is in it for a little bit. His hair is much different. It was fun to see him. The movie is very good. I'd rate it higher than I saw that it was rated on IMDB. Jim Broadbent was so lovable in it as her husband.

I did have the extreme good fortune of going to a poetry reading at The Lincoln Center where Meryl, Sting, Matt Dillon, Gabriel Byrne, Alan Cummings, Rosanne Cash, Julian Schnabel and maybe a few I'm not remember, read poetry. I was with G and he took these pictures....credit for pics ....according2g.com ...after 'The Iron Lady' pic.   btw   I've never heard poetry read the way Meryl did it. Watching the movie reminded me of how I didn't think I could be anymore blown away....but today, I was!  :)

Another grand night of Hugh Jackman on Broadway

I've said it all before.....Magical.....inspiring.....pure happiness...Hugh exudes all of that and more.......During intermission it's incredible to listen to the people all around raving about the show.....I've been 4 times now....but there was a lady who had been 57 times...counting when he was in Toronto....Here's some pics from last night after the show....

Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Movies!!!

Tis the season to see all the great stuff! The time of the year when all the best movies come out and there is not lack of fantastic entertainment on and off-Broadway....

I saw 'My Week With Marilyn' and 'The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn' Part 1 this week. And today I saw a really great off-Broadway play called 'Standing on Ceremony' with Mark Consuelos, Richard Thomas, Harriet Harris, Polly Draper, Craig Bierko and Beth Leavel.

Tomorrow is the best of all: Hugh Jackman on Broadway AGAIN!

'My Week with Marilyn' was really good. Michelle Williams did a great job. I think she channeled Marilyn a few times in it and she had her voice down throughout. It's a very pretty film with a nice story. And don't forget that Emma Watson is in it.

Last night I saw the 'Breaking Dawn' movie. Late for me to see a movie after it's been out for 2 weeks, but I just thought it would be awful. The last one was. My friend and I have seen the first 3 and he didn't want to go either. But then, a few people told me it was really good so I went. Yes, the dialogue is still really, really, really goofy sometimes and just kinda lame the rest of the time, but this one was my favorite of the bunch. It ain't no Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but.. I like it.

And then today, on this absolutely magnificent, beautiful NYC day, I went to see 'Standing on Ceremoney.' 'The Gay Marriage Plays.' It was excellent. Like 'Love, Loss, and What I Wore,' it has a rotating cast. Their are nine short plays by tremendous playwrights. I saw  Richard Thomas in the wonderful play, 'Race' with James Spader and Kerry Washington and then today I was thinking that now Richard Thomas is in a play with another Boston Legal (one of my favorite all time tv shows), Craig Bierko, who play Jeff Coho. Here's some pics.

"Godspell' and "On A Clear Day" on Broadway

What a beautiful night in NYC last night. Great night to be on Broadway. First stop was across the street from my very, very favorite: Hugh Jackman. That's where Harry Connick Jr. was. I'll be going back again and again to Hugh's show. That's the one! But here are a few pictures from Harry Connick Jr coming out of the show.

And then we strolled on down to 'Godspell' and met all the great people in that show. Every one super friendly and fun. You can tell by the pictures. And Hunter Parrish from 'Weeds,' who is starring in 'Godspell' right now, was absolutely fantastic.

Kim Cattrall in 'Private Lives' on Broadway

Last weekend it was 'Seminar' with Alan Rickman. Today it was 'Private Lives' with Kim Cattrall and Paul Gross

'Private Lives' is showing at The Music Box theatre where I went to see 'Jerusalem' again and again. I love that theatre. It seems very magical.

The Noel Coward play is like watching one of those great old black and white films where they ladies are always dressed in beautiful gowns and the men are
always dressed in suits. Rich and glamourous. And chemistry!!! Those two sizzle on stage. It's really lots of fun.

It runs through February 5th, so if you're in town, this is a great play.....
I met Kim before when she wrote her book, 'Sexual Intelligence.' She's
extremely beautiful, kind, and friendly. I told her I had written a part for her
in a script and she said, "I'm there, girl." Ya never know!!! I did write it with
her in mind....and stay tuned for a video on amazonstudios.com when you search for 'Nitches.' Probably be there by tomorrow.....

Here are some pictures from today and the book event about six years ago.....
