[ NYP ]  MURDER IN THE MIDWEST, WILSON-STYLE By DONALD LYONS
ON one level, Lanford Wilson's 1999 "Book of Days," which is having its New York premiere at the Signature, is a group picture of a Midwestern town driven by weather, sex and money, like the Kansas towns in William Inge's plays or the Texas towns in Larry McMurtry's novels.

[ V ]  Spoonful of sugar may sour for 'Poppins'; Tuner may be in peril if Schumacher doesn't reup
Broadway and the West End have been looking at a big spoonful of box office sugar ever since Disney and Cameron Mackintosh began negotiations for a stage version of "Mary Poppins," a potential first joint venture for the two producing entities.

Reviews - "Book of Days":

[ NYT ]  THEATER REVIEW | 'BOOK OF DAYS'
Small Town's Big Cheese Dies, So a Saint Goes Riding In by BEN BRANTLEY
As part of its Lanford Wilson celebration, the Signature Theater Company presents a solid cast in this often sanctimonious indictment of small-town hypocrisy.

[ NJ ]  Engrossing 'Book of Days' unmasks idyllic town BY MICHAEL SOMMERS
A taut, compelling new drama by Lanford Wilson, "Book of Days" starts with an "Our Town"-like invocation of a lovely little Missouri community of today and eventually, excitingly, winds up into one very wicked "Fargo"-like thriller.

[ ND ]  Life in Wilson's Town by Gordon Cox
Characters shine in 'Book of Days'

[ DN ]  Too many twists & turns in Wilson's new drama by ROBERT DOMINGUEZ

[ B ]  Book of Days Review by William Stevenson

[ HC ]  Elaine May's `Adult' Play Needs To Grow Up by MALCOLM JOHNSON

[ LAT ]  Where life is served sunny side up by Don Shirley
Sentimentalism is the special of the day in the superb 'Spitfire Grill.' Revamped from a gritty film, the musical makes its West Coast debut at Laguna Playhouse.
With a number of Broadway vets: Kim Huber, Kevin Earley, Misty Cotton, Linda Kerns, Michael Piontek.

[ LAT ]  Vivid 'Syringa' has few surprises by Sean Mitchell
Pamela Gien's 90-minute memory play has little that's new to say about apartheid.

[ NJ ]  A hard knock for 'Annie' BY PETER FILICHIA
The sun'll come out tomorrow at the Paper Mill Playhouse, even though the current production of "Annie" is terribly disappointing.

[ NYP ]  LOVE, FILIPINO STYLE by BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON
THERE may be no bouquets of flowers or Michel Legrand love songs in "The Romance of Magno Rubio," but this unusual 80-minute fable presented by the Obie-winning Mai Yi Theatre Company has much to say about the world's most delicate emotion.

[ TB ]  Acts of Providence Review by Matthew Murray

[ TB ]  The Cherry Orchard Review by Matthew Murray

[ TB ]  The Three Sisters Review by Matthew Murray

Sunday afternoon I got together with much of the BroadwayStars staff to see the final performance of AMOUR. We had our own little Irish wake for the show (or was it a French wake?).

You can blame tepid reviews, lousy marketing, lack of star power, the economy, or El Ni�o - all I can say is, if a show as wonderful as AMOUR can't succeed, I really worry about the state of the industry. Seeing and hearing Melissa Errico sob as she hit her last note (for real - I'm told she'd never done that before) really floored me.

I also saw the final Mufti performance of JUMBO, which helped make Sunday one of the most enjoyable days I've spent at the theater in a while. Maybe there is hope after all, if you know where to look for it...

[ MST ]  Barry Humphries, the man behind Dame Edna, speaks out by Graydon Royce
Q. It was in the New York Post that a writer wondered whether you'd even finish the tour.
A. I think in the New York Post it also says that Elvis Presley is still alive, doesn't it? If we're looking for accuracy, we might look elsewhere. Did I put it . . . is that delicate enough?

[ IS ]  Hoosier 'sista girl' leaves Broadway for R&B by David Lindquist
Rather than dwelling on contrasts, Headley anticipates theater fans warming to her interpretation of pop music and pop fans warming to the theater.
"In years to come, I want to be able to do another Broadway show, whether it's for a month or a year," she says. "And bring an entirely different audience to Broadway, people who never would have set a foot in the place."
