Celebrating Natalie Mendoza's performance at the Macy's Parade.  Her Satine in "Moulin Rouge" is a decade after her accident in "Spider Man."  
Never imagined "Moulin Rouge" looking as wholesome as it did outside Macy's.  (Maybe there could be a Jr. Moulin Rouge version someday!)

CHATTING IS A SHOW’S BEST FRIEND -  
update for Satine’s take on “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”
Encouraging saving your energy for spreading word online



FINER WORK, our "Firework" parody celebrating the way this show uses the pop catalog
(not a typo, just one firework - they have to cut corners somewhere; it's a huge show!)

Will a Sondheim show finally go mega-premium? Let's make a wish! "Another 100 Patti Fans Got Off Of Their Phones"


Will a Sondheim show finally go mega-premium?  Let's make a wish!  "Another 100 Patti Fans Got Off Of Their Phones"


 In the 2010s, we saw million-dollar weeks for the FOLLIES revival, and the A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC revival from Dec. 2009 sold really great!!  

In the 2020s, will a Sondheim show go mega-premium? Make a wish, Sondheim fans!

An Adele VOGUE magazine lookback - Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is of course now a show tune in MOULIN ROUGE. (Eventually, might every song be a show tune if jukebox keeps going?)

 This apparently has never happened before that the cover of VOGUE in the US and UK are the same person, but it is now and the press says it's a big deal. (AND for show tune lovers, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" has become a show song in MOULIN ROUGE. eventually, might every song be a show song if jukebox keeps going?)  

So here's a look back at the HUGE controversy from ten years ago - when Adele was all about being who you are, yet the VOGUE photo-shoppers made Adele look nothing like she really was.  

"The Photo Is A Cheat". (parody of "Rolling In The Deep")

(And we've learned that the guy all that "Rolling in the Deep" geshrei-ing was about, musician Slinky Sunbeam is actually caring, and they were pals before "Rolling in the Deep" had hit the charts.)
