“Bring It On – The Musical” a Huge Success at Our Orpheum Theatre – Lots of Real Cheerleaders on Hand at Opening Night

Oh, and look who was there, it’s the Oakland Raiderettes:
…and the 49er’s Gold Rush:
Everybody had a great time.
See you there!
All the deets:
“BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is the explosive new musical comedy that raises the stakes on over-the-top high school rivalries. Set against the world of competitive cheerleading, this powerhouse new show hilariously proves that winning isn’t everything when it means losing something – or someone – you really care about.
BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL unites some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, including Tony Award-winning writer Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q); Tony Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights); Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and lyricist Amanda Green (High Fidelity); Tony Award-winning orchestrator Alex Lacamoire (Wicked); and Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (In The Heights).
This new musical comedy combines an exciting fresh sound, gravity-defying choreography, and a thrilling story to create a show worth cheering for.
It’s “guaranteed to be everything you wished for, nothing like you expected, but exactly what you will love.” -AOL.com
Game On!

Kevin Spacey a Huge Success as Richard III at Our SHN Curran Theatre in Union Square
Thursday, October 20th, 2011San Franciscans were very pleased with yesterday’s electrifying Opening Night of Richard III at our SHN Curran, the “intimate Broadway showplace.”
Per pirate-nurse Pat Mulkey:
“Kevin Spacey as Richard III was Incredible! Whole production blew me a-w-a-y.”
A standing ovation for cast and crew – the view from above the Grand Chandelier:

Spacey was sweating through his shirt from the end of the first act – he brought it.
And that thing at the very end, like what happens after his character dies, you know, with the thing? He’s still dominating the dojo.
And oh, Alan Scherstuhl offers his thoughts here - don’t miss that.
Hurray!
OMG, Kevin Spacey is in Town – Still a Few Tickets Left for Richard III at the Curran – The Event of the Year
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011Kevin Spacey‘s run as Richard III from October 19th to 29th could very well be The Event of the Year – we’ll see.
The stage as it looks today:

Remaining tickets are expensive, or for less-than-ideal seats, or both. (And, of course, you can always take your chances on the craigslist.)
But, you know, it’s Kevin Spacey after all. (Digging up my binoculars now, I’m srsly.)
See you there!

Three Hour Tour: See Homer’s Odyssey Performed on 120-Year-Old Schooner – It’s “The Odyssey on Alma”
Friday, October 7th, 2011Well, this is different:
“This fall, in partnership with San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, We Players shares episodes of the classic sea story The Odyssey aboard the park’s 1891 scow schooner Alma. On eleven autumn afternoons, from September 17 to November 18, Alma’s broad, sturdy deck will evoke Odysseus’ sleek black triremes, and help tell the unlucky sailor’s tale of travel, exploration, and homecoming.
Each performance will take place during a three-hour sail on San Francisco Bay, as the cast and crew weave real-time line handling with Homer’s stirring account of weary seafarers striking sail for home. Audience seating is limited to 40 per performance, and tickets are available in advance only. Join our mailing list to be informed when reservations open, and when additional tickets are released.”
Writer Lily Janiak took the tour – here’s her impression.
It goes a little something like this:
PERFORMANCE DATES:
Friday, October 28
Saturday, October 29
Friday, November 4
Saturday, November 5
Sunday, November 6 (reserved for special guests of SF Maritime Association)
Friday, November 11

All right, see you there, matey!

From Our Orpheum Theatre in 2010 to Glee in 2011 – Meet Grant Gustin, aka Sebastian, Glee’s New Gay Villain
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011Does Grant Gustin, the new villain on upcoming episodes of Fox TV’s Glee, have a Wikipedia entry yet? I don’t think so.
Anyway, he will soon. Read all about it at TVLine.
Sebastian just might come betwixt Kurt and Blaine starting in Episode 5 of Season 3
Do you remember him playing Baby John last year on Market Street at SHN’s Orpheum Theatre?
He was one of the standouts.
Bon courage, Grant Gustin!
