He acts like he's never heard that ancient chestnut, "Old Friend," a song I think I've heard 10 million cabaret/audition gals of limited talent but (self-assumed) infinite soul do since the 70s.
I'll never really understand its appeal - by the fifth time she sings
Looooooove is rare, liiiiiiife is strange
Noooooooothing lasts, peeeeeeeeople change
I just want to stand up and say, "I got that the first time, and it's not like you're mining it for any additional meaning."

Since when do people read the New York Post for its coverage of the Arts?
#10Who's Afraid Of Michael Riedel?
Posted: 8/5/13 at 10:43amI wonder if Michael Riedel sees established shows? How do cast members react when they realize he's in their theatre? Has he lost his sting or are (some) people actually in fear of him?
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 8/5/13 at 10:51amTo answer the original question: nobody is afraid of Michael Riedel. He is largely an object of scorn and derision to those in the business. He's an annoying little gnat, at best. He never had a sting to lose.
