Watch Full Episodes of "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 2“Logo Drama Club” – Episode Four: The Temperamentals and The Boys in the Band
This week, we talked to Michael Urie from Ugly Betty, Thomas Jay Ryan, and Nick Westrate about the shows they’re currently appearing in about the gays.
That’s right! What’s better than an historical play that focuses on gay men? TWO historical plays that focus on gay men! Also, Christmas. This week on Logo Drama Club, we chilled with the casts of “The Boys in the Band” and “The Temperamentals,” two plays currently running in New York.
The Boys in the Band is being staged in a renovated loft space that The Transport Group has turned into an “apartment” of sorts with the audience sitting inches from the action. Meanwhile, The Temperamentals has recently moved from a smaller theater to its new home at New World Stages. Meanwhile, I’ve recently moved into both of these cast’s lives to talk to them about their current show. And I’m staying for a while.
Glee Goes On Tour!!!: The Ultimate Fantasy Set List
By now I’m sure you heard that the cast of FOX’s hit show GLEE will be touring the country… confirmed dates are already in place for Phoenix, LA, Chicago, and New York City. Sadly, the tour will be sans Jane Lynch, which makes my heart bleed a little bit, but I’m actually not sure I’d want to hear her sing anyway. Her searing wit might play better on screen than in person.
However, who *wouldn’t* be excited to see Lea Michele belt out “Don’t Rain on My Parade” live onstage?! Let’s hope she runs pleadingly down the aisles a la the season finale. I’m sure the Glee kids will be performing the favorites: “Don’t Stop Believing”, “Somebody To Love”, etc., but I urge them to consider the following setlist, which I have painstakingly assembled after minutes upon minutes of tasteful digression. The straight guys have their fantasy football, I have my fantasy Glee tour set list. Obvi. Read the rest of this entry »
Always Wanted To Provide The Title Of a Theatrical Memoir by Patti LuPone? Now You Can!
Singer. Actress. Dancer. Diva. Author.
Patti LuPone has written a memoir! Yeah! But she needs help coming up with a title. I’m guessing it will be a bit difficult to summarize a career spanning Evita, Sweeney Todd, and Gypsy, but if you think you’ve got what it takes, by all means. Too bad Audition is already taken.
According to LuPone, she expects the title to be “suitable and fabulous.” Indeed! The winner will get a signed copy of the book, tickets to her next show, and a personal backstage meet-and-greet. Is this contest sponsored by Absolut? If you want your winning phrase immortalized by Patti you better get cracking, because the contest ends March 30th! Visit PattiLuPone.Net for details, and check out the fabulous “memorable roles” slide show while you’re there.
My suggestion? Perhaps, “Baby Boomers and Their Babies?”
“Logo Drama Club” – Episode Three: Chatting With The Cast of Broadway Backwards
This week on Logo Drama Club, the team took the bus up to beautiful Lincoln Center for the 5th Annual performance of Broadway Backwards. Broadway Backwards is an annual charity event for The NYC LGBT Community Center and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS where male performers sing female songs and vice versa. I have a killer rendition of “Send In The Clowns” just begging for a night like this, but I guess it’ll just have to wait.
Even though I didn’t get to perform, we did get to chat up quite a few of the performers at the glamorous after party. Bruce Vilanch, Nick Adams, Julia Murney, and Tituss Burgess are all honorary members of the club now, too! Suck it, haters. I hope we’ll have enough seats on the bus from Jersey now. Unfortunately, as you will see, we won’t have to hold one for a Ms. Florence Henderson.
A Military Musical: YANK! Hits Off-Broadway
Well now I’ve seen everything. YANK!, a love story about two gay soldiers during World War II has hit Off-Broadway, as it recently opened at the York Theatre (Music by Joseph Zellnik, Book and Lyrics by David Zellnik). It’s nothing new for a musical to have a gay storyline – this has been done and done again in countless shows – but mixing that with the hypermasculine bravado that is ubiquitous in the US Army gives us a new flavor to suck on for a while.
Bobby Steggert (Ragtime, 110 in the Shade) plays Stu, the bleary-eyed young ingenue through whose eyes we see this troop tragedy unfold. Through the prism of his journal entries (which admittedly, gets to be a tiresome writer’s tool), we hear the story of how he fell in love with a fellow serviceman (Mitch, played by Ivan Hernandez), and how the doomed romance proceeded throughout the war. Steggert and Hernandez don’t have the most chemistry I’ve ever seen, but they’re both pretty to look at and both put their all into the roles.
