Henry B. Herts, architect. Presumably named for Longacre Square, the former name of Times Square. Manager-promoter Harry Frazee (who also owned the Boston Red Sox) built the Longacre in 1913. The Shuberts bought it in 1919. In the 1930s, the Group Theatre produced several Clifford Odets plays there. From 1943 to 1953, it was leased as a radio and television playhouse. Finally returned to legit use in 1954.

Commentaire:   


Presse: "At the end of the first act, and then again after the last curtain call at the Longacre Theatre, my guest and I turned to each other and blurted out: "So much fun!" Short reviews have intrinsic value, and so I won’t be offended it you do not read on. Just go to The Prom. So much fun!" NY Theatre Guide

11) A Bronx Tale (Original)

Joué durant  1 an 8 mois

Première preview: 03 November 2016
Première: 01 December 2016
Dernière: 05 August 2018

Compositeur: Alan Menken •  
Parolier: Glenn Slater •  
Libettiste: Chazz Palminteri •  
Metteur en scène: Jerry Zaks • Robert De Niro •  
Chorégraphe: Sergio Trujillo •  
Avec: Nick Cordero (Sonny), Richard H. Blake (Lorenzo), Bobby Conte Thornton (Calogero), Ariana DeBose (Jane), Lucia Giannetta (Rosina), Bradley Gibson (Tyrone) 


Commentaire: Directors Robert De Niro and Jerry Zaks bring their triumphant New York musical to Broadway, following an acclaimed run in Millburn. Mirroring the gritty setting and finger-clicking music of fellow Big Apple musical Jersey Boys, A Bronx Tale takes place in the early 1960s, and follows the fortunes of a local Bronx kid who is drawn into the world of organized crime, much to the horror of his bus driver father. The story is based on actor Chazz Palminteri's one man show, which De Niro previously adapted for the big screen in 1993.  (plus) 


Presse: "Sometimes plain old pasta with red sauce is just what the doctor ordered. 'A Bronx Tale'... might be called the musical-theater equivalent of that classic comfort food. It doesn’t break ground or dazzle with an unusual recipe — like, say, mixing rap and American history — but it delivers reliable pleasures with polished professionalism and infectious energy." Charles Isherwood for New York Times

"'A Bronx Tale' at the Longacre Theatre packs some tasty ear candy and fine performances, but it’s as conventional as it gets and could use a surprise or two." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"Aside from Machiavelli-quoting mobster Bobby—played with expertly calibrated swagger by Nick Cordero—none of the characters command interest, and Alan Menken and Glenn Slater’s doo-wop–heavy score is far too lightweight for a plot that features murders and racial hate crimes."
Adam Feldman for Time Out New York

"There's no point giving a Bronx cheer to this formulaic but entertaining crowd-pleaser." Frank Scheck for Hollywood Reporter

"After the 1989 solo show, the 1993 movie directed by Robert De Niro and the 2007 Broadway production staged by Jerry Zaks, where else could this show go but back to Broadway as a musical starring Nick Cordero? Is it a good fit? Not really, but there’s something nicely symmetrical about the material progress. Next up: surely an opera." Marilyn Stasio for Variety

Commentaire: Nerds' has taken its time getting to the Broadway stage. An early version debuted at the Beckett Theatre ten years ago, and following a thorough debugging process, reappeared in North Carolina in 2013. This Broadway production takes the innovative spirit of its main characters to heart by introducing progressive new technology to the New York stage. As well as on stage holograms, it boasts cutting edge app integrations, allowing the audience to interact with the action (and choose the show's ending) all through your cell phone.  (plus)

Commentaire:   


Presse: Les critiques sont très bonnes:

"The first requirement of any Broadway musical is to entertain. While well-intentioned and polished, "Allegiance" struggles to balance both ambitions, and doesn't always find an equilibrium." Charles Isherwood for New York Times

"The show is stuck on impulse power...Allegiance also wants to make a significant statement. But it's too tangled to say very much." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"The heavy-handed, cliche-driven "Allegiance" tries to take on all three - but does so unsuccessfully in a bombastic and generic Broadway musical. It has an ambitious agenda - touching on pride, citizenship, degradation, interracial romance, bravery and honor - and it's too much." Mark Kennedy for Associated Press

"But the powerful sentiments involved are too often flattened by the pedestrian lyrics and unmemorable melodies of Jay Kuo's score, making an unconvincing case for this material's suitability to be a musical." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter

"The strength of "Allegiance" is in the story. Not the musical's book, which is no more than serviceable, but the disturbing real-life events behind it." Marilyn Stasio for Variety
