New and Noteworthy
The Kid From Brooklyn Moves Ever Closer to Home. The Danny Kaye story has now had successful runs in Florida and Los Angeles (Cynthia Citron's review). It's currently in Chicago and then back to Kaye's home town, New York, bor a Spring 2009 Broadway run.
Where's My Money? by John Patrick Shanley is the inaugural production of The Actorhood, co-founded by Jaimyse Haft and Sal Landi who directs. Here Shanley attacks divorce, settlements and hauntings as the ghost of Natalie's ex-boyfriend keeps returning to collect a debt. It's an interesting slant for Shanley who rarely employs the supernatural. There's a lot of rage in this one, undiluted by the playwright's acerbic wit. The cast, which employs some double-casting, includes Jaimyse Haft, Dayton Knoll, Kindall Kolins, Madeleine Lindley, Lisa London, Nick Machado, Robert Miano and Corbin Timbrook.
It's been nine years since Curtainup reviewed Donald Margulies' Pulitzer Prize-winning play Dinner With Friends (review.) It still makes a strong impression in the production currently at Theater 40, on the Bevery Hills High School campus, 241 South Moreno Drive, in Beverly Hills which is graced by the performances of four powerful and appealing actors —Grinnell Morris, Julie Lancaster, Dee Ann Newkirk and Garrett McKechnie under the tight direction of Laura James.
The Los Angeles production of Wicked will play its final performance on January 11, 2009 at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. Upon closing, the production, which is directed by Joe Mantello, will have played 791 performances and 12 previews.
Musical Theatre Guild's concert versions at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. The Most Happy Fella will be presented at the Thousand Oaks Civics Arts Plaza on November 23, and Finian's Rainbow will be seen there on March 1.
