JUDY COLLINS LOVES WILD FLOWERS - PLUS SINGING AND TALKING
THE LEGENDARY GRAMMY WINNER AND OSCAR NOMINEE PLUS
RECORDING ARTIST
Judy Collins appearance at the Famed Venetian Room. She is known over the years for "A Little Night Music", "Into the Woods," "Company" and Follies." Oh, and also - she is also famed for "West Side Story" - plus many others.
Judy is a Grammy winner, Oscar nominee and music legend. She is definitely one of the great American Standards. And lucky us at the beautiful Room at the Fairmont certainly can't wait to hear the music and her 2015 debut at the Venetian Room at the Nob Hill's Fairmont Hotel. There will be two performances on Feb. 28 and March 1st, 2015.
Collins is her own. She has fantastic songs from "Sweeny Todd" and "Send in the Clowns." Some of these may not appear - but believe me -- she can't wait to celebrate the fabulous performer.
A STAR BURST IS NOW GOING TO BE THRILLED AT THIS MUSICAL AT THE FAIRMONT
WE CERTAINLY WILL LOVE THIS SPECIAL EVENT WITH JUDY COLLINS

HOW THE WORLD BEGAN - BY CATHERINE TRIESCHMANN
HOW THE WORLD BEGAN
AT THE CUSTOM MADE THEATRE
Right next to the Little Church, is the Theatre. The intimate Broadway style acting, shows Grand productions. Everyone in the Theatre - has also discovered that they even have tasty snacks (just before and after the show).
At the current venue (which I have just seen) really are selling out. And why? Well - I'll tell you that if it weren't for Actors like Mary McGloin, Tim Garcia and Malcolm Rodgers (Susan, Micah, and Gene). The story is a little bit slow at the beginning - but you'll find out as it goes as the entire players bring out amazing SPARKS. The Actors were really amazing. I've seen it - and you should see it also. The Eighty seats are perfect for this setup.
I really felt that this show is well directed. It's worth it - believe me. The set design is cozy and intimate. And when you get started you will be going to this Theatre for a long-time.
CUSTOM MADE
THEATRE IS MEMORABLE
(Just as good (or better) than the larger Theatres)

BIRDMAN: YEP - HE WILL BREAK YOUR NECK AND YOUR BODY
Birdman: Or (The Unexpected
Virtue of Ignorance)
WALK'N BROADWAY
BIRDS DO FLY YOU KNOW
BIRDMAN GIVES US THE BEST...IT'S BOTH COMEDY & GOOFY MOVES THAT THRILL
O.K - GET READY FOR A REAL ACTION FILM - PLUS CRAZY HIJINKS
I got invited to a pre-screening. Just a small invite. Goofy movies easily fall into traps. However - this is the most unique stage play that I have seen warfare with all of the characters on the screen. All good - and all handsome and somehow or other they want to kill each other. Oh my -- what a crazy plot any day. It's buckets that take over this far-fetched theatrical madman (Bird Guy). He really bounces against the wall.
When Birdman wants to leave the Theatre - he floats across the sky. Oh - much of the stage players wonder how they can drink so much and stand up.
Birdman says many times..."I could get it up on the stage!" I'm not sure just exactly what is it that is getting up.
Look - Birdman gets into a lot of drama. He falls, he drinks -- he hates many of the stage people. "He says...want to fool around with me?" Gee - I don't know. I don't want to get thrown out the window. Birdie does that!
After all this....the Prince and his wife is in the Theater. I hope that Birdie doesn't scream at them. Hey...he's got plenty of fist. And if you're not careful -- he will knock the heck out of them and you.
One of the most exciting is (Birdman) he is really, really - tough and strong. Who else can fly out the window? Glad I don't do it. Someone says - hey how's it going Bud? He didn't answer - he's still flying around. Or, maybe he will bang into something.
Near the end Birdman got smashed on the stage. He managed -no one was looking as he flew out the window. Will we ever see Birdie again? You'll find out. His daughter seems to think so - she says that she watched him fly. He bought her lots of flowers -- we may never see her and him again. I don't know about that. Birdman may come back and soon.

THE NEW KINGSMAN - FAST PACED VIOLENT SPY ACTION
A FAST PACED ACTION MOVIE
Walk'n Broadway
Bond is not Dead. He's still around on the movie screen. Oh, by the way - Kingsman just makes a new and exciting Secret Service guy. Lets call it - Spy movie time. If Bond were around - he would maybe kiss ass. Or maybe not - it might not be what older people would want on the screen. But, then again, I saw the tremendous colors flashing all over the place.
For some you will like it. Others might feel that it just is a bunch of throwing electrical stuff on the wall. "Eggsy" is the new young guy who has become the new agent. He almost gets thrown off into the orchestra. May I try? I don't think that I'll take the chance.
Mark Miller created (Kick-Ass). Eggsy loves the rollercoaster winks & Nods. He wants violence (and fun) - and die hards are just waiting to knock-out the intensity. It's great stuff. Michael Caine - just sits at the long, long table - and he ends up on the floor. Samuel Jackson sits and yells and bosses people around - but in the end he'll need more than a glass of whisky.
Near the end there is a sharp looking woman. She wears blades on her legs. And she manages to whirl right along. But she's a real Bitch. She has many minor problems. But remember - she is one of the spies. I'm glad that they finally took off her blades. After-all....her outfit is just too much.
HERE'S THE LAST WORD: "I'm a Catholic Whore!" Well - aren't we all? It's all kinda like "Star Wars Violent project."
AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE - BUT YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Here is some of the Gang: Sophie Cookson, Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Samuel Jackson. Mark Strong and Michael Caine

STUPID F----ING BIRD. A REGIONAL PREMIERE BY AARON POSNER
F...ING BIRD
IT MUST BE NEWLY BORN
It starts on March 17th to May 2nd, opens on March 21, 2015. This Bird might be exactly what you want on the stage. I would love to get a F...ing Bird. They are so cute.
I haven't seen the play yet -- but I am always ready to laugh at a Stupid F---ing Bird. I'm sure it's going to be an awe-inspiring evening. I can already feel my pulse. You know what? ...it's always a mystifying story at the Playhouse. They always want a new experience.
I'm looking forward for this tasty unique entertainment. I'm not sure - but I think that it could the right kind of sick. Hey, but I don't know everything - I'm just hoping. I can't wait!!! I could be wrong about everything. This I do know -- my friends never wait! I'm deceptively gentle. I'm just joking and observing.

WALK'N BROADWAY
JUPITER ASCENDING- IT'S FANTASIA
WE WILL SEE HALF GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE. SOME TALK TO UGLY FROGS. A GOOD LOOKING MAN SEZ THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON THE PLANET
You'll see this fascinating movie is now ready to bid for money.
But wait - it's an undeveloped world. They say that your money comes and goes. Yep - it does!
However you will find that people will knock the S--t out of everyone. Not only do the men and women seem to know everything - it's fireworks alright that crunches and throws you at high rise buildings. You know what machinery does to the clothes on your back.
There is plenty of glamour. And then of course - right after that, they crash and bomb as they float around in space (kinda like Star Wars). You'll all have fun floating around the world. The special effects are well rendered. Channing Tatum skates through air. It is truly fantastic. I'm sure your heart will take off in space. But, you all know how to fly. Tatum takes off his shirt so that Mila Kunis can show off her mega body. The wonder and mystery will still be here. Even though she gets punched.
You want to see more gorgeous? Just wait til you see fantasy cities and worlds. But of course, you will want to see another strange universe that puzzles this very weird complex. Yeh- its Opera flying around the world.
We already know that Eddie Redmayne is in the Jupiter film (he comes along with the other hunks in the movie.) There is enough space ships, settings and otherworldly- but if you like eye-candy - then you will certainly stick to your flight chair. It will reveal the glory.
The only thing that I didn't like was the 'way too loud' sound by Michael Giacchino's music. Some times - it's fabulous and other times its the obscene noise that has flaws.
Eddie Redmayne knows how to carry a movie. If ever there was another person in the film (wild exuberance) - it's Eddie. The film and the Grand outfits are truly stunning.
WORTH THE PRICE!

HARBOR: TIE A ROPE TO THE SHORE AND HANG ON
WALK'N BROADWAY
HARBOR
By Chad Beguelin
Directed by Ed Decker
Lets start out with this:
"Don't call me a Dick!"
There are two guys that seemed to be in love. But, you know how things happen. For instance -- one of the guys said: "All babies should be packed into pie's." Wow - that's a little bit nasty isn't it? I hope that they are just kidding. Instead she said: Can I have a week-end before we drive off the rail? Yes, she is a big drag. Plus - she has a bubble on her tummy.
There is a friend that has taken over their cozy home. She is a witchy bitch who is now showing that she really is pregnant. She is a little bit on the Drug side. It's getting worse at the boys charming little Apartment. Everything was right now - but that baby will be running around soon. The two men at home are not really having a great time right now. The girlfriend doesn't care what she does. She wants to be known as cool. The boys asked about the parents: "All my parents are dead!" - I guess they just don't care. That's for sure!
One of the boys is younger. He's says that he is writing a story or something. One of them says - "This is not an adventure ass hole." Pretty soon the Roller Queen wants to sacrifice. She's younger.
It seems at this moment that there are tremendous uproars. The two men can't get together at this point, and the Lady won't leave each Gay Bob. She knows how to make people miserable. Opt out - both men might do better on a Cruise Ship. It's so much fun. But not always. Love is sometimes ugly.
THE ACTORS ARE SUPREME
But the play kinda falls to pieces
Here are the Actors: Scott Cox - Jenna Herz - Andrew Nance and Terri Whipple
Casting Director: Lori Fowler
