13 (2008-10-Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre-Broadway)
Type de série: Original BroadwayThéâtre: Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (Broadway - Etats-Unis) Durée : 3 mois Nombre : 22 previews - 105 représentationsPremière Preview : Tuesday 16 September 2008Première : Sunday 05 October 2008Dernière : Sunday 04 January 2009Mise en scène : Jeremy Sams • Chorégraphie : Christopher Gattelli • Producteur : Presse : "I can’t imagine that anyone who isn’t in early adolescence would be crazy about “13,” the shiny and brash new musical about growing up geeky." (Ben Brantley-New York Times)
"Thirteen is notorious for being a jinxed number, and anyone heading to "13" hoping to find a story they haven't seen at least a hundred times before is out of luck." & "The pubescent crowd may find this new musical fascinating — but Mom and Dad will be left thinking about 13 better ways they could have spent their ticket dollars." (Joe Dziemianowicz-New York Daily News)
"Disarmingly charming new musical." & "The perfect show for those too old for Disney, too young for "Spring Awakening." (Barbara Hoffman-New York Post)
"Driven fast by catchy, dynamic rhythms and colorful orchestrations, Brown's 16-song score is light, fresh and always tuneful in nature. Smart lyrics and a wide sampling of song styles ... keep the musical energy level zooming as the intermission-free show speeds along." & "Expect nothing fancy from "13" -- just a sincerely good time." (Michael Sommers-Star-Ledger)
"..as ailing as our economy.." & "Some of the 13 performers are actually 13; other may be old enough to know better. But 13 or not, they come across almost as juvenile as the perpetrators of this infantile concoction." (John Simon-Bloomberg)
"13 is, if hardly awesome (not even in the lesser sense of the word), an innocuous and sometimes touching diversion." (Elysa Gardner-USA Today)
"A smart, fun look at the joys and agonies of growing up." & "Sweet little gem of a show." & "Director Jeremy Sams and choreographer Christopher Gattelli have assembled an energetic and versatile ensemble of youngsters and shown them off to sparkling advantage. .....and they're not syrupy sweet or overly brash in the way too many professional child actors can be." (David Sheward-Back Stage)
"The story, directed without distinction by Jeremy Sams, sort of stops rather than builds to a conclusion....The book, by Dan Elish and Robert Horn, is so chopped-up, careless and obvious it almost seems no more than a bridge between Jason Robert Brown's songs." & "They (the cast) come across not as typical youngsters, but as professional performers who happen to be teenagers. (Robert Feldberg-The Record)
"Musically robust but surprisingly thin in the story department" & "If the story meanders, the music does not...a lively, highly listenable score." & "It's in the music where "13" often springs to life. His (Brown's) melodies are tuneful and his lyrics quirky enough to surprise you." (Michael Kuchwara-Associated Press)
"There's not much in this sweet all-adolescent tuner to engage anyone past puberty." & "If the story had been told with more wit, complexity or universal insight, there might have been something here for the rest of us." & "Brown's melodic songs are well crafted and do the job of bumping the thin story along ... But the composer's work tends to bounce around in tone and rhythm, making it difficult to sing for performers whose voices are still developing." (David Rooney-Variety)

Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (New-York - Etats-Unis) Durée : Se joue actuellementNombre : 39 previews - Première Preview : Thursday 15 March 2018Première : Thursday 19 April 2018Dernière : Open end, ouvert actuellement jusqu'au Thu 01 January 1970Mise en scène : Bartlett Sher • Chorégraphie : Christopher Gattelli • Producteur : Avec : Laura Benanti (as Eliza Doolittle until Feb 17), Harry Hadden-Paton (as Henry Higgins), Norbert Leo Butz (as Alfred P. Doolittle until Jan 6), Danny Burstein (as Alfred P. Doolittle from Jan 8 to Apr 28), Rosemary Harris (as Mrs. Higgins), Allan Corduner (as Colonel Pickering), Jordan Donica (as Freddy Eynsford-Hill), Linda Mugleston (as Mrs. Pearce), and Clarke Thorell (as Zoltan Karpathy)Commentaires : The original cast included two-time Emmy Award-nominated "Six Feet Under" star Lauren Ambrose, taking on the lead role of Eliza Doolittle, with "Downton Abbey" and "The Crown" actor Harry Hadden-Paton making his NY stage debut as Henry Higgins, whilst two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz and "Game of Thrones" favorite Diana Rigg have been cast as Alfred P. Doolittle and Mrs. Higgins, respectively.
Marking the first Broadway revival in 25 years, the brand new production is directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher and is another shining example of Sher doing what Sher does best. Following his tremendous successes with South Pacific and The King and I, he has created yet another lavish and nostalgic representation of a timeless classic. With grand sets and elaborate costumes most directors would die for and rousing musical numbers galore, the audience is spoilt by an embarrassment of riches. Sher's interpretation of the ending of the piece may also surprise some attendees, but is actually more in line with the musical's original source material - George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Kudos to Lincoln Center Theater for once again proving itself as the frontrunner in staging Broadway musical revivals.Presse : "The plush and thrilling Lincoln Center Theater revival or Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady reveals Eliza Doolittle as a hero instead of a puppet — and reveals the musical, despite its provenance and male authorship, as an ur-text of the #MeToo moment. Indeed, that moment has made My Fair Lady, which had its Broadway premiere in 1956, better than it ever was." Jesse Green for New York Times
"Broadway’s My Fair Lady takes you to showtune heaven in a new production that’s both opulent and daring." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News
"We’ve grown accustomed to the grace of Bartlett Sher’s revivals of American stage classics, but that doesn’t mean we should take them for granted. Working in blessed harmony with his trusty creative team—including set designer Michael Yeargan and costumer Catherine Zuber—Sher is not an iconoclast or radical re-sculptor; instead, he acts as a restorer, leaving the shows on their pedestals but stripping off years of obscuration to reveal layers the works have possessed all along. So it is with the splendid new Lincoln Center Theater revival of My Fair Lady." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York
"There's a breathtaking visual in Lincoln Center Theater's new My Fair Lady when Lauren Ambrose emerges as Eliza Doolittle, transformed from common-as-muck flower girl into regal stunner, done up to attend the posh Embassy Ball... Comparable delights intoxicate the eyes and ears throughout this sumptuous staging from Bartlett Sher, a director who has proved to be among the very best at chiseling surprising nuance out of vintage musicals." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter
"If you’ve got it, flaunt it. The splendid Beaumont stage at Lincoln Center was made for great classic musicals like Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady, and helmer Bartlett Sher was born to stage them. This jubilant revival is meticulously mounted and entirely welcome – despite the eccentric casting choice of Lauren Ambrose as Eliza Doolittle." Marilyn Stasio for Variety

SolomonCommentaires : Ce revival a remporté cinq Drama Desk Awards, dont celui du Best Revival et a recueilli 11 nominations aux Tony Awards, dont celles du meilleur renouveau, du meilleur réalisateur, du meilleur chorégraphe, des quatre catégories d’acteur et des quatre catégories de conception. Il a remporté le prix de la meilleure reprise et six autres Tonys. Le regretté Robert Russell Bennett a été reconnu pour «sa contribution historique au théâtre musical américain dans le domaine des orchestrations, représentée à Broadway cette saison par South Pacific de Rodgers et Hammerstein.Presse : Bien que certains critiques aient eu des réactions mitigées aux performances d’O’Hara, Szot et Morrison, la production a reçu des critiques majoritairement élogieuses.
Ben Brantley a écrit dans le New York Times: «Je sais que nous ne sommes pas censés nous attendre à la perfection dans ce monde imparfait, mais que je sois maudit si je peux trouver un défaut sérieux dans cette production. (Oui, le deuxième acte reste plus faible que le premier, mais M. Bartlett Sher le fait presque oublier). Toutes les rôles secondaires, y compris ceux de l'ensemble, semblent précisément individualisés, jusqu'à la manière dont ils portent les costumes d’époque soigneusement étudiés de Catherine Zuber.»
John Lahr dans le New Yorker a déclaré que la partition de Rodgers et Hammerstein était la «star incontestable» de la soirée, mais il a aussi loué le «superbe» Szot et sa voix «crémeuse retentissante».
Richard Zoglin dans Time a déclaré que le chanteur avait réduit la «grandiloquence opératique» et avait ainsi trouvé «de nouvelles profondeurs d’émotion dans une chanson touchante comme "This Nearly Was Mine"».
David Rooney dans Variety a salué sa voix «veloutée».
Ben Brantley dans le New York Times a été impressionné par son baryton «profond».
Clive Barnes dans le New York Post a déclaré qu’il avait une « voix splendide » et une «belle présence» et qu’il jouait «superbement».
Et Peter Marks dans le Washington Post a décidé que l’artiste était le «centre passionné» du spectacle.
Lahr a estimé qu’O’Hara apportait un «bel éclat» à Nellie, mais que l’actrice était «trop classe et trop consciente pour s’adapter aux contours comiques idiosyncrasiques du rôle».
Zoglin a déclaré qu’elle «tombe à quelques crans de moins sur le compteur d’adorabilité».
Rooney a déclaré que sa «voix crémeuse» était «parfaite», mais qu’elle avait «plus de sophistication innée» que son personnage n’aurait dû en avoir.
Brantley a noté qu’elle avait créé un «portrait superbement ombragé» de Nellie.
Barnes a déclaré qu’elle avait offert une «recréation étrangement précise» de la version de Martin de «Honey Bun» mais qu’elle avait joué Nellie selon ses «propres termes».
Et Marks a trouvé sa caractérisation crédible et «convaincante».

SpongeBob SquarePants (2017-12-Palace Theatre-Broadway)
Type de série: Original BroadwayThéâtre: Palace Theatre (Broadway - Etats-Unis) Durée : 9 mois 2 semaines Nombre : 29 previews - 327 représentationsPremière Preview : Monday 06 November 2017Première : Monday 04 December 2017Dernière : Sunday 16 September 2018Mise en scène : Tina Landau • Chorégraphie : Christopher Gattelli • Producteur : Avec : Ethan Slater (as SpongeBob SquarePants), Gavin Lee (as Squidward), Danny Skinner (as Patrick), Christina Sajous (as Sandy Cheeks), Brian Ray Norris (as Eugene Krabs), and Wesley Taylor (as Sheldon Plankton)Commentaires : After successfully staging the new musical's world premiere at Chicago's Oriental Theatre in the summer of 2016, it was a case of full speed ahead to Broadway, as the Palace Theatre in the heart of Times Square gets an underwater Bikini Bottom makeover.
Ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a living cartoon? Landau's zany, brightly-coloured production makes no apologies for immersing the audience in an eccentrically cartoonish world. The auditorium itself is decorated to convey an underwater wonderland and one of the busiest crew members is the percussionist downstage right, who is also responsibile for every sound effect from the squelching of Squidward's tentacles to the booming of Pearl Krabs (a whale), as those characters cross the stage. Every Crash! Bang! Wallop! is as over-the-top as the cartoon itself, but Landau also creates a world that is uniquely theatrical. From a bloom of jellyfish made from pink umbrellas to an underwater volcano comprised of crates of orange cardboard boxes and orange ladders, imagination has been poured into this production by the bucketload! A special mention for the huge contraptions located on either side of the proscenium that launch "falling boulders" onto the stage - inspired by the "Mouse Trap" board game and a delight for younger audience members to behold.
With so many diverse acts from the music industry contributing to the musical - from Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, and John Legend to Cyndi Lauper, Panic! At the Disco, and David Bowie - the result is perhaps one of the most eclectic scores on Broadway. Alongside classic show tunes, there are numbers that delve into the genres of Pop ("(Just A) Simple Sponge"), Rock ("Bikini Bottom Boogie"), RnB ("(I Guess I) Miss You") and even Gospel ("Super Sea Star Savior"). And at curtain call, of course, the audience is sent back out onto land with the popular theme song from the animated series. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?... You know the one!
SpongeBob SquarePants is a great alternative destination for the young and for the young at heart, who don't take themselves or life too seriously. Tina Landau has done a superb job of idiosyncraticly adapting SpongeBob for the stage, whilst maintaining the distinctly irreverent tone of the cartoon.

The work-shop production was revised by the playwright David Auburn into a show for three actors, and ran six months off-Broadway, followed by a US tour and several foreign country productions. This was its UK premiere. It had great interest value, but was ultimately not a particularly successful piece of theatre.

A Broadway pairing for the ages, War Paint pits Patti LuPone against Christine Ebersole in this powerful tale of cosmetic giants Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein.Presse : "Ms. LuPone and Ms. Ebersole (notice how tactfully I’m shifting the order in which they’re mentioned) are not coasting on the market value of their star appeal. They’re strategically deploying the knowledge and craft of a combined eight decades in musicals to make us believe that the show in which they appear is moving forward, instead of running in place in high heels... So, though my eyes occasionally glazed seeing 'War Paint' for the second time, I wouldn’t have missed it, if only to hear its leading ladies’ climactic ballads." Ben Brantley for New York Times
"LuPone’s performance is slathered in gusto. Ebersole’s turn is creamier than any emollient. They’re so good, you wish the show were better. As is, it’s polished to a high shine but bland and scarcely skin deep. And it took not one but two source materials to produce this." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News
"David Korins’s set and Catherine Zuber’s costumes complement the musical at every turn, and Michael Greif's direction keeps it moving efficiently along. But the show doesn’t make a persuasive case that its stories must be told." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York
"Two Broadway greats in a classy vehicle worthy of their immense talents." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter
"'War Paint' is a musical about Catherine Zuber’s fabulous costumes and magnificent hats, as modeled by the great Patti LuPone as Helena Rubinstein, and her Highness, Christine Ebersole as Elizabeth Arden. And if those hallowed names mean nothing to you, this is not your show." Marilyn Stasio for Variety

As in the 1988 Pedro Almodóvar movie that inspired this star-jammed musical, Valium is consumed in large quantities by many characters. That is so pharmaceutically irresponsible. What this production needs — immediately and intravenously — is Ritalin. "
