Thanks. I was just going by ibdb which lists the credits by opening date of the shows themselves, not necessarily the dates they were in the shows

Martin's first Tony was an honorary one, she won three competitive awards. It’s also worth noting that for as much as we think of Merman as the definition of the Broadway diva, a large majority of her Broadway credits predate the Tony Awards. She originated three roles in shows after the Tonys

Last time I went, he threw in a few exasperated (in character) jabs at the audience when they were otherwise non-responsive to the moments whers audience engagement is really needed.

I would absolutely hate that. If you can't land the moment and need to goad the audience into getting the kind of response you think they should have then it's a failure of the actor, the di


Roses That Never Were

Carol Burnett has long been my answer when asked about Roses I wish had happened. 

In that vain, not a Rose, but I wish at some point Cloris Leachman had played Tessie Tura

I wouldn't even use the term "over shadowed" as that would imply that Wicked was forgotten about. It has surpassed it, but people are still buying tickets to both movies

I am predicting, loosely, that GGGR will take the Longacre as Swept Away continues to think, Ragtime will takethe Palace as it has been rumored to. and Dead Outlaw or Cats will circle Studio54 ifWond

If I remember correctly, "optimized for IMAX" indicates that it was not shot using the IMAX cameras. Similar to how it was not shot using 3D cameras and all of the 3D was a post-process conversion

MHE may not make it, but you're comparing apples to oranges in terms of trajectory. The key question is did MHE lose too much money before opening that wasn't anticipated in the production's capitalized reserves."

An important thing to remember is that e


Probability of a PIPPIN movie musical, post-WICKED success?

My dream for a Fun Home movie would blend live action with animation done in the style of Bechdel's drawings. Characters and settings dropping in and out between being animated for some scenes and live actors for others, but Bruce is always animated except for “Telephone Wire” so when Big Alison gets into the car with him what throws her really off balance is finally truly seeing him for the first time

For what it’s worth, in Baum's original novel the Wizard builds a new balloon after Dorothy returns from the Witch's castle, so the destruction of what is presumed to be the balloon her arrived in during the end of this film is not going to throw some major wrench into the story if the second film

I got that too! I’m assuming the new HBO series will stick with the “only British actors for British characters” they stuck to for the movies, but I totally was like “tell me she won’t be using this for an Umbridge audition” while watch

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Someone transport me back 21years, please.

Was the show a sensation from day one? Was it predicted to still be running two decades later?

Why didn’t the movie happen sooner?
"

Despite the mixed reviews the show was pretty much a hit right off the bat. It hit its first million dollar week within a month of opening, and that was at the time when its top ticket price was $100. Within the first couple weeks of 2004 it raised

And yes, I know she could vote by absentee ballot for whatever state her legal address is (Kentucky? Hawaii?)- but at the end of the day, I’m questioning if she really voted. Lots of assump


Audra McDonald teaser video -- yikes!!!

The Broadway sound board bootleg I acquired many years ago also included a rehearsal track that I have to assume was Barbara Cook and Linzi Hately learning “I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance.” It’s unlabled, but definitely Linzi and definitely  not Betty Buckley, hence my assumption that it’s Barbara Cook. At one point the woman learning the Margaret part whispers into the tape “I’ll never sing this ****.”

She’s one of those people who just need to step away and think for five minutes before posting to social media. Remember when everyone was a racist for fan casting her as the lead Muse before Hercules ever hit the stage? A role voiced in the film by Lillias White? And, let’s be real, if she had caught wind of anyone suggesting any white actors for that role she would have lobbed accusations of racism at them as well for white washing a black role.

Anything Goes has had numerous songs added to it during its various revisions that were written for other Cole Porter shows. Friendship and It's De-Lovely, which were used

Jay must have just been withholding from the streaming services, because I know I bought Goblin Market on iTunes way back in the day. It is quite a lovely score, but, having seen a production of it, can see why it is very, very niche and could very easily slip into the "quite a bore" mode if you don't have a strong team of director and actresses.

A score that I love and I wish that Encores would have tackled before their change in focus/redirection was Fade Out-F
