When Joan Jett was replaced with Ana Gastyer in Rocky Horror, they traded the leather-and-chains costume for a loud and colorful teal outfit, and the character got a lot loopier in general. And they traded the guitar solo (which itself replaced Little Nell's tap) with a kickass electric violin solo.

So what's the deal with Freeman? I was a little bummed I didn't get to see him last night (the standby was great, though), and I was musing on making a return trip, but I take it from some of these comments that this is a pretty standard thing with him? 

An interesting read, and not unjustified, but it was an odd choice to base it around Schmigadoon, since they make a bunch of basic errors about the show, which makes their premise seem more unfounded than it is.

Something I like about this show is that the characters are so versatile. I mean, goodness knows Chris Sullivan and Andre DeShields aren't very similar performers in any way, but they both did incredibly well as Hermes. So I say even if Hewitt can't hit the lowest notes Page can, that's fine. Let him play it differently.

Accomplice would be challenging, considering the stunt casting needs, but I'd be interested.

I figured they were returning because they were in the Fallon thing.

West Side Story was in the Fallon thing, so I assumed they were returning.

Yes, he's old but so were the people from RENT.

And look how that worked out.

Oh, also, everyone who’s responding derisively to observations of colorism? Cool your jets. Especially the one who responded with a GIF of a rich white man laughing about it. Talk about telling on yourself. 

Keith David is definitely on my list of people to see live, so I'm all in.

“ That really bothered me too in "Love Thy Neighbor". ”

 

That was particularly the scene I was thinking of, yes. Especially since it started BEFORE the singing even began. And it was throughout the rest of the film as well. Murphy couldn’t let the camera just rest on people.

Hey, y'all. I made something short and ridiculous today, and I figured I should share it with the online community most likely to appreciate it. Hope you're all doing what you need to stay sane in this troubled time, even if it's recording terrible parody songs.

That's the one. Who is it? Why is it so prominently placed? Why hastily put on the fridge with packing tape? IT IS A MYSTERY.

1 - Caught two references to Rosie's running gag crush on Tom Cruise, which I've always thought has aged rather strangely given what we've since learned about Rosie AND Tom Cruise.

2 - Did like the reference to her Koosh thing.

3 - Most importantly, what the HELL was with the t-shirt taped to Chenoweth's refrigerator?

These are great suggestions. Definitely adding Carrie and Spider-Man, and while I won't do revivals independently unless they severely revamp the show (Cabaret, for instance), I do love the suggestion to mention the late 90s stunt casting surge.

I think that must have been me typing the notes in a hurry. I meant to put that note on Love Never Dies below. Musical sequels are such a rarity at all, and Phantom was such a huge hit, I think the failure of its sequel is very interesting.

Any I can delete on there? I like the idea of keeping it at 100. I don't need the Scarlet Pimpernel, I'm sure.
