Xanadu Comes to Show Buzz!
Everyone at Show Buzz is buzzing about the fact that the irreverent and wild cast of Xanadu will begin letting you in on what exactly goes on backstage of the funny and inspiring musical that the New York Times callls "the outlandishly enjoyable stage spoof of the outrageously bad movie from 1980". Look for the cast to start leaving you exclusive video, voice messages and diary entries next week!
Kathy Halenda is our Mama Rose in the current Gypsy Tour
Kathy Halenda is our Mama Rose. She really is wonderful. She has done so many tours. She has played the role before in regional theaters. Because of the fact that she is not neccessarily known to many of these audiences, it allows people to really focus on the character of Rose. Most of the Roses that people have heard of or have seen perform take the character to a particular "star" place. This show was written for a star (Ethel Merman). Her entrance and the whole opening scene usually just about "Ethel Merman just walked in!" in or Bernadette Peters or Patti LuPone and then the whole first scene is people just getting used to her being on stage.
With Kathy they really get more of a sense of the character. With her I feel like the show is a little more poignant. You can get a little sense of it from the video.
