Oh good, we really need one. The only complete recording--the London--doesn't have the best cast. I'll miss (as always) Endless Delights, but..."

Agreed on all counts. When I did this show in college (1994 so a million years ago), Endless Delights was already gone from the licensed version we had. Our director just put it back in because i

Also...the performers on Broadway are (generally) at the very top of their field...like...in the world. I work in Big Law and deal with people who are acknowledged as some of the best in the world. And they make killer money. Is this an apples to apples comparison? Of course not. But it's just so f*cking wild to me that the first people being told (by some) that they have to take a pay cut and/or make concessions are some of the best stage performers in the world. And I'm not talking

OK, I'm having trouble working what exactly I mean, but..."

I second BJR's post about how lovely it is to see you, Eric, on this board.

I saw the show in

The film of Thoroughly Modern Millie was a foundational touchstone for me. I discovered it as a Saturday afternoon movie when I was probably 9 or 10 and I couldn't quite believe what I was watching. It wasn't just silly, it was batsh*t crazy. It's the first time I understood was camp was and I knew that the movie's sensibility was going to be something I would connect with for the rest of my life. I was so excited for the stage show. And then I saw it.

How did it end up

OMG THANK YOU! My husband and I went to see Weapons yesterday, and I was like, 'Who the f*ck is this brilliant nutcase!?' We got to talking after and I forgot to look up the cast list. Amy Madigan! Genius. She'd be a stellar Violet and good Christ was she insane in Weap

Has i not been a tacit agreement amongst us all that the poster in question (I won't Beetlejuice her) is a GenZ fabulist who doesn't actually see all the shows they claim to? Because their 'reviews' are always so, so light on any kind of specificity that I just assumed she created her 'review' based on what was posted before her and vibes. 

Like...are we saying this poster is a real person and not just some kind of persona created for maximum impact of dera

Maybe this was mentioned earlier in this thread (I haven't wanted to sift through all the racist dross to find the pearls) but, although Criss may be the first Asian actor to win a leading actor in a musical Tony, his is not the first Asian role to win the leading actor in a musical Tony. That distinction goes to The Engineer in Miss Saigon played by...whitey white white Jonathan Pryce. So that's the shadow casting over this whole thing and it makes me sit here with

From a 'type' perspective, I think she's actually ideally cast. She's a beauty but also a little flinty and that works really well for Genevieve. I don't know her voice that well, but if she can handle the score (and I think she probably can), I think this is actually an perfect role for her. Plus...Scott Bakula! 

I got to see this production at the Menier...last summer was it? And I really enjoyed it. I have a deep love for this show, having pla

If they could nail down a star(Robert Downey Jr, Josh Charles, Sean Hayes--Tony Goldwyn apparently did a reading of it years ago, etc), this could move forward. Hope so, because it sounds really good."

I haven't seen the show, but was thinking the same thing. It might be a good opportunity for a name who can sing-ish. My first choice would be Matt Bomer with Ch

Oh gurl. Gurl.

When Todrick Hall said 'My back hurts from carrying this show' I thought I was going to lose my godd*mn mind. This show was MESS. But, Jesus, did the people scream for it.

I was there the night Xtina was in the house (also Alison Hammond which excited me more). There was so very much wrong with it. Why was there a pregnant dancer in this show when they no longer use that as the inciting incident for Ali to become one of the performers? That was a mighty we
