'Not to brag, but I've stood upon some pretty rarified podiums,' writes Glen Roven. 'But to be honest, nothing competes in the thrill department with playing a piano for a Broadway legend who is recreating an original performance. Talk about musical comedy heaven.'

A Chorus Line: Again...
by Michael Dale
- Nov 10, 2006
Perhaps the next time A Chorus Line is produced on Broadway, a new director will have a wonderful new vision for the material. But since we lost Michael Bennett 19 years ago at the age of 44, why not re-mount a replica his greatest theatrical achievement while we still have his colleagues around to reproduce his original work?

Seattle Review: Hello, Dolly!
by Robbie Wachs
- May 25, 2006
star performance needs strong support. Even the greatest of leading ladies can't save a production boggled by misguided choices. It is too bad that Village Theatre's wonky new production of Hello, Dolly! is never able to live up to its delightful star (in her return to Seattle) Peggy O'Connell. With a solidly tuneful Jerry Herman score, a tight book by Michael Stewart, and opportunities for multiple star turns, you would expect this local revival to be a triumph. Sadly, director Steve Tomkins' tendency to gravitate towards the superficial requires O'Connell to make a difficult uphill climb. Stars of her caliber should never be subjected to this chore.
