Tonight-Broadway Close Up: William Finn

Posted by:	Ballerina56 12:09 am EDT 10/27/15

At Merkin Concert Hall. Such an entertaining evening of Finn’s songs performed by Alysha Umphress, Taylor Trensch, Betty Buckley, Stephen DeRosa, Norm Lewis, and several others. Finn is quite the character and his interview segments between the numbers, with host Sean Hartley, were truly priceless. Songs from A NEW BRAIN, FALSETTOS, SPELLING BEE and ELEGIES were all represented in the 2-½ hour show. Finn talked about his new show, THE ROYAL FAMILY, and got up to sing STUPID THINGS, paying homage (and a terrific send-up) to Elaine Stritch as she had performed it. He was terrific! If the rest of the songs from the show are that good, I can’t wait to see it.
