Welch’s GATSBY to premiere in 2024 ART

I think it's more of a generational thing. Most young people don't read any books at all, especially not classic novels. And if you're in the UK, you probably won't have it assigned in you in school, so you wouldn't be familiar with the book.
Regarding the 2013 film, I think both musicals owe Baz Luhrmann a royalty check for inspiring their design and marketing.

We just had an excellent revival of Curse of the Starving Class at Signature in 2019. That one didn't have Christian Slater, but it was very strong.

Sandra Oh and Haley Wong are absolutely phenomenal here, as is the rest of the cast. Such a fun high-drama night.

2024 Pulitzer Prize Predictions

The way that it works is simple, but obscured to the public. A play is eligible if it had a production in the calendar year, AND it has to be manually submitted to the committee for consideration, usually by the producing entity of the play.
For example, The Minutes was able to be selected in 2018 because Steppenwolf submitted the literature for the play with their production in 2017. Something like Manahatta most likely was not submitted until the 2023 calendar year because t

J.K. Rowling is the face of the TERF movement. There is no person alive who is more synonymous with transphobia and the hatred of trans people.

The tragedy of this production is that it's depriving New York of Patrick Page's Lear, which was the most astonishing acting performance I think I've ever seen.

Any actual "lefty liberal" would not use the word "woke" as a pejorative.

Wardelljclark2018 said: "The response from dear friends, artist in the community, and at large have been overwhelming to this production. You come on this board, and mostly complaints...its fascinating,"
It's a time-honored tradition. White shows are "surprisingly good" whereas Black shows are "disappointing".
In reality, Robert O'Hara's production is spectacular, with dozens of artists performing at an insanely hi

Baz should seriously consider suing for stealing his visual concept. Given that the projections were clearly AI-generated, it's not unbelievable that they pulled directly from his film.
