City Center's Encores! series recently announced its lineup for the concert version of the 1970 musical Applause, which is scheduled for February 7 through February 10, 2008. In addition to previously announced star Christine Ebersole, the cast includes BAT favorite (and Ebersole's Grey Gardens co-star) Erin Davie (pictured) as well as Kate Burton, Mario Cantone, and Tom Hewitt. Wanna do some research? The musical is based on the great movie All About Eve, itself based on the Mary Orr Cosmopolitan story "The Wisdom of Eve."In other revival news, there's a revival (perhaps a resurrection) of the epochal Broadway flop Moose Murders coming up at Trinity Lutheran Church at 63-70 Dry Harbor Road, in Middle Village, Queens. On February 23, 1983, Frank Rich's famously derogatory review summed things up with the line "A visit to 'Moose Murders' is what will separate the connoisseurs of Broadway disaster from mere dilettantes for many moons to come." So here's a chance to see if you've got the right stuff. Performances are on January 19, 24, 25, and 26 at 8 pm and January 20 and 27 at 4 pm. Tickets are $14 for adults and $13 for seniors. For information and reservations, call 718-736-1263.
Yesterday I served up some rare Sweeney Todd; here's another rarity: Lauren Bacall in a very '70s, very risqué (emphasis on the second syllable) CBS TV adaptation of Applause. The number is very Burt Bacharach.
