Comedy Majesty and Poetry in Four Works From Jerome Robbins
New York Times
Gonzalo Garcia’s performance on Friday was just a pleasant pencil sketch; as so often with this dancer I applauded rosy potential rather than ripe fulfillment. Tiler Peck has more to discover in it too but she is more than halfway there. This dance shows how many ways she is learning to play with music and — since she is a technical virtuoso — perhaps her most disarmingly ravishing moment came when she simply stood still and let a ripple (as if impelled by the music) pass through her arms. The program began with “Glass Pieces” (1983). This has always been a hit but I underrated it when it was new partly because Robbins seemed to be hitching a lift on.
Drama Queens: Random Thoughts While Watching The Tony Awards Show.

Liza is now almost 20 years older than her mother was when she died and her performance made me realize the good thing about Judy dying in her 40s; Her voice never deteriorated into the wreck that Liza’s was last night. nce Liza was a great singer and dancer. She’s too old and had too many hip replacements to dance anymore and now we can hear she can’t sing anymore either. All she can do now is marry more gay men. Well she was in the right place to troll for her next set of husbands. There were fewer gay men at the GLAAD Awards. Look out Neal Patrick Harris.

‘High School Musical’ cast has a blast
North Platte Telegraph
” The two shake up the school when they defy their cliques to audition together for the school musical. That doesn’t sit well with drama queen Sharpay and her brother Ryan who are used to getting lead roles every year. Stephanie Kidd as Sharpay turned in some fine character acting as the show’s villainess while Anthony Abdallah as Ryan exaggerated his dance moves to humorous effect. Standouts in supporting roles: Wendy Eaton as drama teacher Ms. Darbus Nick Yaksich and Brandon Bennett as Troy’s bestpal teammates na Ramsey as a brainiac who likes to break-dance and Robert Williams as the school deejay. Urbinati did a masterful job of moving the masses in and out without breaking tempo thanks in part to large revolving panels in Mark Parrott’s scenery. Costume designer Carole Zacek’s schoolkid clothes gave the show a contemporary look and Wildcat spirit came through in red white and black.
