I went back and  watched the 1964 stop-motion TV special that I remember watching excitedly every year of my childhood.  Back then we couldn't click to watch just about anything ever made instantly.  We would have to wait until the one time a year they would play classic's like Rudolph or The Wizard of Oz.  These were family events that were looked forward to with great anticipation.

I will never forget the first time that I saw Leslie Jordan. He was making a series of guest appearances on Designing Women as Reggie Mack Dawson. A swindler who took our precious Suzanne Sugarbaker for everything she was worth and bought a circus.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a madcap musical comedy that hits on all cylinders. With book and lyrics by Robert L Friedman and music and lyrics by Stephen Lutvak Gentlemen’s Guide is the closest thing to perfection I have seen this year.

Wicked, the musical called by The New York Times “the defining musical of the decade” returns to Dallas April 20th for its fifth run at the Music Hall at Fair Park.  All previous runs have sold out and all indications are that this five week run will be no different.

Robert Frost's “The Road Less Traveled” ends with the passage “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”  Daily in life we come to these crossroads.  We are constantly presented with choices that depending on our choice of path determine the direction of our lives.

The Book of Mormon returns to DFW with a stop at Fort Worth’s Bass Hall this Week and the big question is can this show really be worth all the hype.  The answer is YES!  The winner of 9 Tony’s, 5 Drama Desk Awards and a Grammy is currently running on Broadway and with some 1,960 performances so far it has enjoyed a longer shelf life than Evita, Dreamgirls and Funny Girl.

After seven years of sold out audiences, incredible tupperware sales that put her in the top sellers of plastic bowls in the US year after year, I wondered why mess with a winning formula.  When you have something so successful, why write a new show, a play no less.  Dixie has taken quite a gamble returning to the stage with something so very different than what her audience is used to but for the trailer park Tupperware Diva the gamble has paid off and in a big way!
