The Gray Lady, Baby Big Finales, All Together now: A Month of Broadway Closings Original Source: The New York Times [again, just the tos segment, click the link to read the entire article] The final days of cult favorites can be particularly exhilarating. The last week of performances at the quirky little musical “[title of show]” were reportedly tearful, laughter filled public love-ins. The obsessed fans who watched this self-consciously self-confident little gem of a show make the long trek from living room high jinks to a Broadway run come out in droves to cheer it on, like friends and relatives gathering to watch to watch a loved one finish that first marathon. 4 January, 2009 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team ‘Hairspray’ Takes Final Bow On Broadway Original Source: TheImproper.com So we found this article today (thanks Google Alerts!)…and it’s a little awkward (okay kind of a lot awkward) but we figured we’d share. It mostly focuses on Hairspray but then starts talking about how it opened doors for ‘women of a certain size’ in theatre…and goes on to quote Heidi. Like we said, weird. But whatever. We’re just including the bit about Heidi (which falls under the 2nd heading in the article), so click the link for the Original Source to read the entire piece. “I’ve gotten many, many, many, messages from women of all shapes and sizes,” said the curvaceous Heidi Blickenstaff after [title of show] opened on Broadway in 2008. In her role as Heidi, who is based on herself, Blickenstaff even removed her shirt and showed off her assets. “Women are always so happy to see a woman that looks like me on stage. I have gotten many women who say ‘Thank you for doing that, and having there be an image out there that is not this tiny little girl.’ And I am very proud of that. If women are feeling somehow liberated by that in some way, it’s awesome. I’m so glad that that makes women feel good. I’ve also gotten a lot of fan mail from some straight men. So there are some straight men out there that like a curvy girl!” Blickenstaff laughed.” 4 January, 2009 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team [tos] on Roma Torre’s Top 10 of 2008 List Original Source: NY1.com   The Top 10 Broadway Shows of 2008, in alphabetical order: “All My Sons” - Arthur Miller’s classic got a radical makeover courtesy director Simon McBurney. “Billy Elliot” - All three of them helped to turn a London hit into a Broadway sensation. “Gypsy” - Writer-director Arthur Laurents breathed new life into his baby with Patti Lupone’s incomparable Mama Rose and fellow Tony winners Boyd Gaines and Laura Benanti. “In The Heights” – First-timer Lin-Manuel Miranda (seen at right), a true Broadway baby, wrote and starred in this Tony-winning best musical.  “Passing Strange” – Stew created a great rocking musical that passed on much too soon. “South Pacific” - A near-perfect production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic earned Broadway newcomer Paulo Szot a Tony. “Speed-The-Plow” – Mercury-ridden Jeremy Piven did not last, but his Broadway debut alongside Raul Esparza and Elizabeth Moss sped this David Mamet one-act to box office glory. “Sunday In The Park With George” – Stephen Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning show was artfully brought to life. “The Seagull” - Kristen Scott Thomas spread her wings in this glorious revival. “{title of show}” - The quirkiest show of the year proved that a lot of talent, desire and empty pockets can still spin Broadway gold. 30 December, 2008 No Comments » Posted by Krissie Michael’s New Movie! Not only is Michael ([tos]’s beloved director, for those not in the “know”…though how could you not know that? we digress…) in a fancy schmancy movie, he’s also being supah-creeptastic in a movie with Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, Jason Bateman, Robin Wright Penn (oh, dear Princess Buttercup), and Jeff Daniels. How frickin’ awesome is that? We’ve added the trailer below, so watch that…and then go see the movie when it comes out in ‘09 (which is totes just around the corner) 29 December, 2008 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team Hmmm…is there a birthday in the house? 28 December, 2008 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team We found this little ditty amongst Broadway.com’s 2008 end of the year wrap-up (PS…can anyone else not get over that 2008 is already over? Jesus.) Broadway Newsmakers: The Self-Promoters Months before presidential election parodies and music videos hit YouTube, meta-musical [title of show] went viral with savvy, self-promotional aplomb. This small-scale, personal show eschewed traditional advertising for an equally personal marketing campaign, one that drummed up a devout following using low-budget tools like its web series, the [title of show] show, online video testimonials, blogs by the show’s stars, and an Internet music video featuring scads of TOSsers (as devotees are called), from Patti LuPone to Jane Krakowski, showing their love. Though the show didn’t achieve a long run, [tos] raised the bar by building an interactive community, bringing fans closer than ever to the object of their affection. Susan’s “First Person” article “Why I Keep My Day Job” (read it, if you haven’t) was also chosen amongst the top for the year. 28 December, 2008 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team BC/EFA Backstage TV - Cast of [title of show] 27 December, 2008 No Comments » Posted by SuperTossers Team DIVA TALK: The Best of 2008 Original Source: Playbill.com Written By: Andrew Gans Date: December 26, 2008 Hello, diva lovers! This week’s column offers a backwards glance at the year that comes to a close next week. This year’s “best of” list includes favorite musicals and/or musical performances on the theatrical and concert stages in Manhattan. I’m thankful I was able to catch so many wonderful performances, and I hope the year to come brings even more memorable ones. Wishing you all much joy and peace in 2009. THE 11 BEST OF 2008 (in alphabetical order): [title of show] One of the most exciting and touching moments of the theatre season was watching the cast of [title of show] — the four-person musical that began life Off-Broadway and via youtube, loyal fans and devoted producers found its way to Broadway — sing the show’s penultimate number, “Nine People’s Favorite Thing.” The 90 minutes that preceded this song were tuneful, often hilarious and, at times, moving, but somehow all of those elements combined to a swell of emotion in this song that explains why Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell created the show, and why the equally talented Heidi Blickenstaff and Susan Blackwell came along for the wonderful ride. [title of show] may not have run a decade on Broadway, but who knows how many “vampires” it killed: How many long-forgotten novels have been taken out of desk drawers or how many new musicals are now in the works? And, it also introduced Broadway theatregoers to a mighty talented foursome.
