Kirchoff & Rose, architects. Built by West Coast vaudeville showman and Orpheum Circuit founder Martin Beck, who--through questionable dealings--was forced to share it with the competition (B.F. Keith and E.F. Albee of the UBO Circuit). It opened as a vaudeville house in 1913. By 1930, it had added movies and, by 1957 (except one appearance by Harry Belafonte), it was strictly a movie palace. In 1965, the Nederlanders bought, renovated and returned it to legit use, reopening on January 29, 1966.

Commentaire: 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. (plus)

Glenn Close revisits her iconic, Tony-winning role as Norma Desmond
She's ready for her close-Up
After captivating London audiences last year, Glenn Close revisits the role of fading diva Norma Desmond on Broadway in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard. Based on the classic Billy Wilder movie, Sunset is the greatest Hollywood tragedy of them all, telling the story of an aspiring screenwriter seduced by the old-school movie glamour that surrounds an aged actress. Little does he know what squalid depths her self-deception will drag them both down to. One of Lloyd-Webber's finest works, Boulevard is resplendent with a lush, noir-influenced score, which will be brought to life in New York by a 40-piece orchestra.
An icon of stage and screen
Glenn Close originated the role of Norma Desmond in the musicals' original 1994 Broadway production in a Tony-winning performance, and recently played it to huge acclaim in a sold-out run in London with the English National Opera. One of Hollywood's finest, Glenn Close has countless iconic screen credits to her name, including Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons, while her role in the legal TV drama Damages garnered her two Emmy Awards. (plus)
Presse: "Yes, Hollywood’s most fatally narcissistic glamour girl, Norma Desmond, is back in town, in the pared-down revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 'Sunset Boulevard' that opened on Thursday night. It is a show that exists almost entirely to let its star blaze to her heart’s content. The light she casts is so dazzling, this seems an entirely sufficient reason to be." Ben Brantley for New York Times
"Glenn Close is ready for her close-up in “Sunset Boulevard” — and then some... If a few vocals are strained, Close commands the stage in this concert production from the English National Opera." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News
"Those who go to see Close reprise her celebrated turn in the musical’s 1994 Broadway production will not be disappointed." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York
"Ultimately, it’s Close’s return that is this revival’s reason for being, and the rapturous audience reaction makes it clear that despite the plethora of talented actresses who have starred in the musical before and since — Patti LuPone, Betty Buckley, Diahann Carroll and Elaine Page, among them — she owns the role. Now all we need is a film adaptation before she ages out of the part." Frank Scheck for Hollywood Reporter
"Glenn Close makes a triumphant return to the star role of Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 'Sunset Boulevard,' a once-in-a-lifetime role that won her a Tony Award in 1995. Ever an elegant actress, she’s positively regal in the English National Opera production which won her kudos on the West End last year and will play a limited 16-week run at the Palace Theater — a fitting setting for this star." Marilyn Stasio for Variety

Commentaire:
Presse: Les critiques sont très bonnes:
"This gorgeously danced — and just plain gorgeous — production pays loving tribute to the 1951 movie, to the marriage of music and movement, and to cherished notions about romance that have been a defining element of the American musical theater practically since its inception." Charles Isherwood for New York Times
"Guiding his first musical, Wheeldon shows a vibrant vision and buckets of imagination, transforming the 1951 Gene Kelly-Leslie Caron film that inspires the show. He’s also got a cast and design team at the top of their game." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News
"An airy, gentle caress of a show, 'An American in Paris' is a welcome oddity on Broadway." Haley Goldberg for New York Post
"There’s much gorgeous ballet to admire in director-choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s Broadway debut, set against attractive, painterly backdrops by Bob Crowley, but the overall effect is of a dance concert with a semiserious musical squeezed into the cracks." David Cote for Time Out New York
"Beneath the considerable pizazz, Wheeldon conveys with grace and style the heartfelt romance and emotional colors that keep us enchanted until the last beautiful note has been sung." Jennifer Farrar for The Associated Press
"Not only is Wheeldon's nuanced command of storytelling through dance front and center, the production also foregrounds a triple-threat revelation in NYC Ballet principal Robert Fairchild, who proves himself more than capable of following in the suave footsteps of Gene Kelly." David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter
"A dancer is a thing of beauty, and there is beaucoup beauty in director-choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s ravishing production of 'An American in Paris,' smartly but not slavishly adapted by Craig Lucas from the 1951 MGM movie." Marilyn Stasio for Variety

Commentaire: In May 2011, the producers of the show entered into arbitration with Local 802, the union which represents Broadway musicians, after union leaders expressed concern over the relatively small number of musicians in the musical's orchestra. The show uses only nine musicians in the pit. Per an agreement between Local 802 and the Broadway League, a musical is required to have at least 18 musicians in the pit, unless they have been granted a special exception for "creative purposes". According to Local 802, Priscilla does not qualify for that exception. (plus)

Commentaire: When Laura Bell Bundy decided to leave the show, producers teamed with MTV to broadcast a reality TV show to find her replacement. The show, entitled Legally Blonde - The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods, ran from June 2nd, 2008 until July 20th, 2008. (plus)
Presse: BEN BRANTLEY of THE NEW YORK TIMES: “This high-energy, empty-calories and expensive-looking hymn to the glories of girlishness, based on the 2001 film of the same title, approximates the experience of eating a jumbo box of Gummi Bears in one sitting.
JOE DZIEMIANOWICZ of NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: "The same is true of this endlessly energetic show. But for all its pep, bright colors and adorable dogs, the "Blonde" that breezed into the Palace last night is rarely - as Elle would say - superfun. It's only sorta fun."
CLIVE BARNES of THe NEW YORK POST: "Amorphous, synthetic and maniacally empty-headed music. When was it that so many Broadway musicals took 'Looney' to their hearts but managed to leave out the 'Tunes'? "
MICHAEL SOMMERS of STAR-LEDGER: "So a new star isn't born (Laura Bell Bundy) and the songs aren't all that great, but not everybody demands perfection. Certainly 'Legally Blonde' twinkles brightly enough to tickle pink many a customer seeking easy, breezy amusement. "
ELYSA GARDNER of USA TODAY: "Whatever pleasures Blonde provides...are as fleeting and superficial as highlights."
LINDA WINER of NEWSDAY: "But she and the musical are peppy and bright and, though not a smidge more shocking than its heroine's special shade of pink, the show is what Elle's sorority pals might also describe as, "Like senior year but funner."
ROBERT FELDBERG of the RECORD: "Witty, insistently engaging, warp-speed musical comedy."
ERIC GRODE of the NEW YORK SUN: "To quote from the show's intended demographic, its not gr8 but itll make you LOL. IMHO, obvs."
JOHN SIMON of BLOOMBERG: "Thrives on its secondary virtues, its production values. It will keep your interest, but is that tantamount to earning its keep? "
MICHAEL KUCHWARA of ASSOCIATED PRESS: "So why, despite the expensive glitz and an aggressive, go-go attitude, does 'Legally Blonde' only fitfully entertain? Most prominently because of a disappointing score."
DAVID ROONEY of VARIETY: "The show's good-natured appeal is undeniable, right down to the delicious, probably unintentionally cruel timing of its 'Riverdance' parody, following turgid fellow Broadway newcomer 'The Pirate Queen' into New York."

Commentaire: Il s’agit cette fois d’un véritable revival. Heureusement, il n’a pas mené à une réinterprétation radicale de Rodegrs et Hammerstein. Le maïs était encore aussi haut que l’œil d’un éléphant et le blé sentait toujours bon – comme le disent les chansons – mais il s’agissait d’un Oklahoma! légèrement plus sombre, surtout dans les interprétations de Christine Andreas (Laurey) et de Martin Vidnovic (Jud). La Laurey d’Andreas était plus sombre que d’habitude, et cette fois-ci, le ballet «Laurey Makes Up Her Mind» semblait vraiment vouloir parler de quelque chose.
Un choix entre Curly ou Jud? Normalement, il n’y a pas de concours, et clairement dans le monde réel, Jud n’aurait aucune chance avec Laurey. Mais dans le casting de Vidnovic, il y avait maintenant un Jud que nous n’avions jamais vu auparavant: un étalon romantique qui fait passer un peu Curly pour un indompté. L’interprétation frappante de Vidnovic était chargée d’énergie sexuelle frustrée, et il était clair d’après sa performance que lorsque Jud était seul dans sa cabane, il faisait plus que simplement regarder les cartes postales françaises clouées au mur au-dessus de sa couchette. Il était beau et attrayant, et il était compréhensible que Laurey envisage d’aller au pique-avec lui. Jusqu’à présent, et comme le Jigger de Carousel, Jud avait toujours semblé un dispositif d’intrigue quelque peu intrusif mais nécessaire pour les personnages secondaires. Mais ici, Jud avait une vraie présence, et « Lonely Room », magnifiquement et douloureusement interprétée par Vidnovic a fait de cette chanson généralement oubliée de la partition une déclaration puissante et mémorable du statut d’outsider de Jud.
