Here's a (sorry, low quality) promo for our production of Cy Coleman's last big Broadway musical, THE LIFE. We pared the big Broadway cast of 32(with Mr. Coleman's & librettist Ira Gasman's blessing) down to 13, and totally revamped the show for our 200-seat theater in Palm Beach. It turned out to be the biggest hit we ever produced, extending 10 times its original run, garnering unanimously rapturous reviews and a record-breaking 19 regional theater award nominations. Risque, yes, a bit, risky, you bet!... but a damned great show! We hope to put together a touring production someday.

  • No, this isn't playing in Mississippi! Or will it ever. Yes, we did get screwed by the IP Casino in Biloxi when we put up the BEST EVER production of the MANILOW show in that awful place!

  • I need to ask you what happens in the end? does queen die or any of the two. I need to know for my audition for School im Applying at for musical theater? what happens in the end?

  • " THe Oldest Profession" was stellar here. She "sang" the living sh*t out of it !!!

  • i absolutly love this fucking play... and i wish i could be in it..

  • If Waldman's production were to have run on Broadway, it would have walked away with the Tony in virtually every category. I saw this imperfect show in & "liked" it, but agreed with all of the critics ... too long, no characters worth caring about, a score that was all over the place, over-produced ... etc.

  • ctd...

    ...a friend dragged me to see this scaled down production that Waldman recreated in West Palm Beach (of all places) and I was blown away. Every challenge was conquered seemingly without effort. Waldman obviously didn't follow a "checklist" as if he were commissioned to solve the show's problems, he simply DID IT BETTER!

  • Who knows how many underrated musicals there are out there that could use this magic touch? Waldman virtually re-defines the "less is more" theory of theater. In fact, he changed the term to "exactly what is needed is more!". Nothing was missing here. What was added was humanity. Real people in real situations and an incredible score to help them tell their story and provide entertainment and/or discourse as needed. This is how it's supposed to be done. More, please. Much, much more.

  • FABULOUS!! What a show! The Life should have won the 1997 Tony Award for best musical! What a show! Your production seems stunning!!

  • ACTF is waitin'

  • Who dat singing The Oldest Profession? She's amazing!!

  • Hi there, really great video.... Did you get my message/question??? Really hope to hear from you, take care, DJ
