We judged contests, road the San Francisco Ferry for an “I Love the Ferry” campaign, went to movie opening parties (way past bedtimes), met with casts of other shows, performed on the Merv Griffin Show – twice, (I) danced at a benefit with a very...

“Singin’ in the Rain,” a classic about a silent actress whose squeaky voice didn’t work in talkies, and about the perky little unknown actress who made it big because hers did. The heroine (Debbie Reynolds) fell in love with an egomaniacal silent star —...

Adam Cooper and Scarlett Strallen in "Singin' in the Rain" at the Palace Theatre in London. Some scenes are different from the film, though some -- such as the film-set love duet between Don and Kathy -- re-create iconic moments from the Gene Kelly...

So went one of the promotional teasers for the 1980 film Xanadu , a weird amalgamation of oddball (if derivative) script, surprising casting (Oliva Newton-John and then-68-year-old Gene Kelly) and the music of Electric Light Orchestra founder Jeff...

Singin' in the Rain for Christmas presents & we all went (5 of us) to the one of the first Saturday night previews on 11th Feb. We all agree that it's a fantastic production (possibly the best in London at the moment) & the best bit IS that it does try...

But there's that inevitable Jan Brady aura that permeates our essence. That no matter what we do, we're not Eugene or Portland. We're not Marcia or Greg. So, the dance was the first step. Why not recognize that it occasionally rains in Salem and — like...

Unfortunately, Boiler Room Theatres current production of Xanadu which could serve as a fun-filled freak fest instead left me wondering if some trends arent better left behind. Based on the 1980 stinker of a film that starred Olivia Newton-John,...
