Guys and Dolls — but make it sports betting and nightlife

People just like to say things... I feel like a show that can take a whole concept overhaul is one that is very light on plot because you're not really changing the text. All of these examples are just "Take old thing and make modern" and that is just not interesting. You don't have to reinvent the wheel to make a good production.

I was gonna say, isn't it an AEA issue to not have someone listed for the role in the playbill as was alluded to earlier?

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Genuine question. What's stupid about it, and why shouldn't it be taken seriously?

It's not Patti sensationalizing something for drama."

Because you're describing the plights of rich people on a cruise being denied a port of entry in... Turkey. Like what about that is serious business? Like if they docked and a bunch of people stormed the boat and punched Patti and The Queers... that'd be kinda serious. Turkey acting

Jay Lerner-Z said: "
If it was Kid Rock who had launched this resort, I don’t think I'd always get such a harsh reaction for daring to speak of it."

Nobody thinks about Kid Rock in anyway that they would give a flying **** what he does.

Highland Guy said: "If you have a cruise ship full of LGBTQ+ passengers, why would you send them to a country (Turkey) that probably would not be overly welcoming? Are these issues/possibilities not worked out in advance?

Instead, put a friendly port of call on the agenda. Valencia, Spain, comes to mind. Currently hosting the World Gay Games. Can't get much more LGBTQ+ friendly than that.

"

Because Gay Cruises tend to not be gay EXCLUSIVE Cr

"

Was anybody hurt? Did they plant a bomb? Did someone have to go up and go get them? 

It's such a nonissue. 

Oh Goddddd. I would have loved to see Nicole play Helen...

Not surprising that Baby sang it in English considering it’s her first go-around and she probably didn’t have the amount of put in rehearsal to get that language down."

From what I recall down at PAC, Baby sang it all in English there too. I don't believe she's Latina, so I imagine that'll probably remain the same and brings "Her" to the role by doing her handstands while singing. 

ColorTheHours048 said: "Big cast change coming in August. Columbia will be a Drag Race queen, starting soon. I don’t have any additional details, sadly."

Its Plasma isn't it? Or Marcia? They're both NYC Locals. 

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "*She noted on IG that she missed a fashion show last month “due to a little sniffle”."

Something we gotta stop doing is pretending that any statement attributed to her is actually her. This whole book debacle is evidence of that. I'm sure that was AI generated and trained on her older interviews. 

TotallyEffed said: "BrodyFosse123 said: "Liza now lives primarily in Los Angeles though she still owns her iconic Manhattan apartment. Her last time there was about a year ago to shoot a series of photos for INTERVIEW Magazine with legendary photographer Greg Gorman.

You’re making things up again.


Liza very publicly sold her New York apartment over a decade ago"

Because I love a good Brody Whacking, the interview explicitly says it's her West Hollywood Home and its almost 2 years old.

OhHiii said: "Interesting to find out that members of this board has access to Liza Minelli's daily itinerary and can say definitively she cannot travel. el oh el"

Yeah, it's called being able to observe Liza's events and cancelations in the last year. She was literally supposed to do a live event for her book in NYC that was canceled explicitly due to her inability to travel because of her health. 

OhHiii said: "TotallyEffed said: "Anyone who has seen recent clips of Liza would know her getting on a flight to New York was a pipe dream, unfortunately."

All fine and good, but it's not like Transport Group took pains to make sure the audience knew she would not be there...for an honorary 80th birthday tribute no less. You do know she has homes in both LA and New York...right?"

So do dignitaries of Asia and the Middle East. Just be

Dolly80 said: "I think Caissie Levy would have something to say about this."

Well I don't really see why she'd care? She just got her Tony and its not like she's even been short on work...

DM Sean Nyberg on Instagram. He's a thirsty bitch for attention and will throw money at anything.

Rentaholic2 said: "I’m curious if they’ll make changes to Luther’s songs. I’m not sure anyone could do that to their voice 8 times a week. I assume at the very least his scream near the end would need to be prerecorded."

I wonder if they could commit to an artist in the genre like Kim Dracula (if not them themselves) who are used to shredding their voices like that. But then that does put into question the vocal load for understudies

BoringBoredBoard40 said: "Hot Take: this is going to run about a year.

Lin is going to cause a huge advance but this is not a show you will be able to take familes or school groups to and is based on a cult film and the weekly run cost is going to be absurd."

And THAT means I can get tickets comfortably.

Michaela departed just like that. Some reddit members are saying something is off with the production team behind the scenes. Does anyone know whoher replacement is?"

Prob shooting AHS"

I dont think s

So... I'm a bit confused after watching the little promo video they put out. Does this still take place in the French Riviera, because I feel things like the Eartha Kitt Catwoman reference is a little weirdly American? And why did they modernise it with their references so they could include Beyonce? I feel like La Cage echos a time long ago that it feels misplaced to try and bring it to today so literally...

Like I know the message of La Cage is still relevant (especially now), bu
