Wasn’t Bette’s Gypsy sung live in 1993?"
Yes. It was a big deal that they did that. There was a clip of them singing “Wherever We Go” several different times live, I think it was an extra on the DVD version I had years ago.

I have never been a fan of Erivo and feared from the beginning she would be a distraction for the movie and make me really not like her in it. She has already started down that yellow brick road for me.

I saw him so many times on Broadway from Millie on. I am heartsick and I think for only the second time in my life I am crying that a celebrity that I did not know has passed away.

He does qualify as a Tony winner (for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Catch Me If You Can) who has done drag (in Is He Dead?). I think he's a great choice for Herbie.
Looking forward to this production."
I would be surprised if he was in this, considering he's sta

I love that New Orleans “JAZZ” flavor they added to the overture.

I suspect the familiarity of the title has a lot to do with it. In saying that, I don't mean to questionthe show's quality at all, but The Outsiders isvastly outperforming it

I really don’t know how you speak for all “THE GAYS” but believe me, they could give me a free ticket to this and I wouldn’t accept it. I know at least 10 gay friends who have no interest in it and all think it will be a massive flop.

You literally cannot be this dumb. You're a bit. You're an AI they created to drive posters insane."
Well, to be fair there was that adult version called “Poke a Hot …..”

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Forum film Jul 8

Having been in the show on four different occasions and having seen professional productions (Nathan Lane was amazing) and amateur ones, it really is the director who can make the show come to life. It is a bump and grind vaudeville show. I agree the songs slow the show down, but they also allow the audience to catch their breath from the frantic pace of everything going on. I love the show and would love to see a revival with Josh Gad and Andrew Randell’s. The m

I am also of those groups and we brought 10 people with us from age 13 to 66 covering pretty much every generation alive. Only one person actually liked this show and he is 17 and a huge fan of Townsend and an aspiring musician. For me, who grew up with the album and The Who, it was muddy and lacked anything to say. I was truly bored out of my mind and could not believe they took “Shucked” out of the theater to bring in “Tommy.”

I am assuming that you don’t have the ability to get information from Telecharge or Wikipedia? Wikipedia gives a point by point recap of the Outsiders at just a quick glance. I don’t understand these continued questions when the information is at your fingertips already. If you are that triggered, I would stay far away from The Outsiders.

Who is the Lead in Disaster! Jun 19
2024, 03:11:42 PM
Sadly I saw this during its Broadway run. I don’t remember any of the male characters (or female characters) being the actual lead. It all seemed like characters running around an inexpensive set with the purpose of singing 80’s disco hits. I literally have little memory of it, except how much I hated every minute of it (and I do love Seth very much, but will always blame him for that 2 hours of torture.)
