    Alysha is FLAWLESS. She is an amazing performer, and more importantly, a genuine person. She was so nice when I met her at the stage door. She stopped and talked to me, we had short conversation with tons of laughs and before she left she gave me a huge hug. And that's the kind of stars Broadway needs!! Needless to say, she will be Broadway's next queen!!

    Watch Jay Armstrong Johnson move in anticipation of the music. With that timing, each move seems to initiate the beat. His moves reinforce the comic character, the naive sailor on a night on a night in town. He does all of that while giving the stage to Alysha Umphress and her wonderful singing. It's truly brilliant character dancing.

    I've been a fan of Ms. Umphress since being introduced to her through Jeff Blumenkrantz's podcast a few years ago. She and Jay Armstrong Johnson look already damned good here, and must be fantastic by now! So glad that this great score and show are getting, apparently, a worthy revival. I want to go to New York!

    I love Alysha so freaking much.
    I also love Jay, if you've never heard him in 35mm look up the album, he's got so many good solos on that album.
    Also, I swear Jay is Gumby.

    Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest,
    My seafood's the best in the town.
    And I can cook, too.
    My fish can't be beat,
    My sugar's the sweetest around.
    I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal
    Right down to the demi-tasse.
    I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy,
    Baby, I'm cookin' with gas.
    Oh, I'm a gumdrop,
    A sweet lollipop,
    A brook trout right out of the brook,
    And what's more, baby, I can cook!
    Some girls make magazine covers,
    Some girls keep house on a dime,
    Some girls make wonderful lovers,
    But what a lucky find I'm.
    I'd make a magazine cover,
    I do keep house on a dime,
    I make a wonderful lover,
    I should be paid overtime!
    'Cause I can bake, too, on top of the lot,
    My oven's the hottest you'll find.
    Yes, I can roast too,
    My chickens just ooze,
    My gravy will lose you your mind.
    I'm a brand new note
    On a table d'hôte,
    But just try me à la carte.
    With a single course
    You can choke a horse.
    Baby, you won't know where to start!
    Oh, I'm an hors d'oeuvre,
    A jelly preserve,
    Not in the recipe book,
    And what's more, baby, I can cook!
    Baby, I'm cookin' with gas.
    Oh, I'm a gumdrop,
    A sweet lollipop,
    A brook trout right out of the brook,
    And what's more, baby, I can cook!
    Some girls make wonderful jivers,
    Some girls can hit a high "C",
    Some girls make good taxi drivers,
    But what a genius is me.
    I'd make a wonderful jiver,
    I even hit a high "C",
    I make the best taxi driver,
    I rate a big Navy "E"!
    'Cause I can fry, too, on top of the heap,
    My Crisco's as deep as a pool.
    Yes, I can broil, too,
    My ribs get applause,
    My lamb chops will cause you to drool.
    For a candied sweet
    Or a pickled beet,
    Step up to my smorgasbord.
    Walk around until
    You get your fill.
    Baby, you won't ever be bored!
    Oh, I'm a paté,
    A marron glacé,
    A dish you will wish you had took.
    And what's more, baby, I can cook!!

      I saw both productions of On the Town - even both incarnations of the George C. Wolfe production - and enjoyed both Hildys. However, this more recent production (directed by John Rando, with choreography by Joshua Bergasse) left the earlier one in the dust: the fact that between the summer run in Central Park and the one on Broadway the Wolfe version actually changed choreographers (!) showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the show. In its latest revival, all the elements - casting, direction, choreography (and musical staging) and design - were in total synch. A great night in the theater!
