Today marks the final performances of Roundabout's decent but forgettable revival of THE APPLE TREE. Will it be nominated for Best Musical Revival? It's probably that or LES MIZ, and I'd suppose it's more likely to go to LES MIZ.
It's also the final performance of MTC's well-performed but not really well-loved revival of TRANSLATIONS. I, who was conflicted whether to give it 3 or 2 stars and finally opted for 3, found it extremely well-directed, but hardly compelling in and of itself.
Last night was the final performance of the Philharmonic's MY FAIR LADY, which I really enjoyed when I attended on Thursday night. I have never seen Kelli O'Hara perform so incredibly well before. Kelsey Grammar, though in character, was always a few beats too fast for Rob Fisher's oversized orchestra. Still, an overall pleasure to hear Lerner and Loewe's masterpiece of a Broadway score.
And though it's not apparently official, today would appear to be the last performance of Bob Martin in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE before he treks to London to open the show there. Why the lack of fanfare? He'll probably return to the Broadway production eventually, so it might not be accurate to deem this his FINAL PEROFRMANCE in the Broadway production.
