Dion Musical ‘The Wanderer’ Announces Spring 2022 Pre-Broadway Run May 18
2021, 06:52:18 PM
ArtMan said: "Dion had alot more hits. Two more were Dreamlover and Teenager in Love. If you watched the early seasons of Happy Days and the movie American Graffiti, you'll recognize quite a few. I'm not interested in seeing this, so I only stopped at two, other than the songs mentioned. I'm sure his hits solo and with the Belmonts as well as the many covers he did, could make up enough to make the audience happy. Part of the book for Act 2, would probably detail theplane

Are most vocal selections pretty similar from what actual broadway musicians have to play? Aug 24
2019, 08:05:09 PM
For the most part, Vocal Selections are vastly simplified renditions of the numbers from a show, and very different to what would appear in a Piano/Vocal or Piano/Conductor score.
Firstly, vocal selections are designed to be accesible to a large range of performers of varying ability. Therefore, the piano writing is much simpler and will generally consist of doubling the vocal line and chords either on the beat or in the rhythm of the melody with the bassline often single notes. No

Josefina Gabrielle - Oklahoma Aug 14

Josefina Gabrielle is a wonderful, wonderful actor/singer/dancer.
She was most recently a brilliant Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music, and the best Velma Kelly I've ever seen in the recent West End revival of Chicago.

If they're going to have any policy regarding Twitter, it should be that these "Twitter take-over" things by cast members should be stopped immediately.

Grizabella Replacements? Sep 14

everythingtaboo said: "If you think there's any chance they'll go for an actress over 40, you're nuts. (That said, I'd love but can't imagine Heather Headley would do it. I mean, it's one song. She's too big for that, especially coming off the raves for Color Purple.)"
The average age for Grizabella's in the London Revival (Nicole Sherzinger/Berverley Knight/Kerry Ellis/Jane McDonald (Blackpool)) was 43, so I have no idea what you

I really don't understand the issue with water.
I am a regular theatregoer here in London, and I always have a bottle of water with me for the performance. It is a thicker plastic, not the kind that would make that crinkling sound, and I only ever drink from it in blackouts/scene changes/applause.
I've never encountered this as a problem with ushers, and regularly ask for the bottle to be refilled at the bar post-show. If one relied on the bar for

Conducting without sheet music Apr 12
2016, 02:24:50 AM
rcwr said: "At a Boston performance of The Sound of Music last week, I was sitting in the front row and noticed that the conductor did the entire show without sheet music. I was astonished -- but I also know I've seen way fewer shows than many people on here. Is it unusual to conduct a show without sheet music?"
Many conductors do this since they conduct the same music night after night. It's a bit risky sometimes, but ce
