Uncle Vanya is soo over produced, it was just on Broadway last season and didn’t do well. Streetcar also over produced. 
 

plus the fact there is only 41 Broadway theatres and as of now not a single one is available in the Spring unless a show that’s open/coming in closes earlier than expected and even then there is other projects from producers that are probably ahead of them in line.

It’s gonna be a rough 4 years for everyone if we go down this path of canceling anyone for their political beliefs if they don’t align with yours. Trump wo

Sweaty Oracle is saying folk singer Lizzy McAlpine will be Nellie and Taylor Trensch and Jason Gotay are attached, assuming one of them is the brother? 

What I don’t get is why the 2010 revival with Christiane Noll and Stephanie Umoh was not that successful? And that revival to me feels like it wasn’t that long ago although it is going on 15 years ago but it seems like there has been a cultural shift that people now appreciate the show a lot more than they did back then?! 

Directed by Jaime Lloyd, Lyrics by Bruno Major book by Chris Terrio, inspired by the 2006 film of the same name and short story by Steven Millhauser.

Tammy should be played as a mix between Rose Nylund and Dolly Parton. 

My first interaction with Tammy Faye was watching her on The Surreal Life on VH1 but the main thing I will never forget is when she was dying from cancer and would go on Larry King Live on CNN and give them most heartbreaking interviews. They are all on YouTube but fair warning it’s very hard to watch. Also highly recommend the two documentaries that were made by World of Wonder (the creators of RuPauls Drag Race) they are available on Wow Presents Plus. 

Really shook by the reviews coming in. How can this be nominated for Best Musical and win Katie Brayben an Olivier and then flop on Broadway? I really hope they can at least try to fix things in previews. The book writer needs to hop on a plane to NYC if he isn’t here already and get to work. I am a big Tammy Faye fan and loved the Jessica Chastain film and the documentary it was based on. There’s no reason her life story can’t work on stage. Maybe they should have tried to

David Yazbeck and Erik Della Pina will perform a concert version of the show and supposedly announce the Broadway run! 

I feel like the James Earl Jones makes sense, hoping Dead Outlaw takes the Lyceum. Smash at the Imperial, Good Night and Good Luck at Winter Garden, not sure about Glengarry Glen Ross. 

The real name people should be excited for is Danya Taymor. Her creative choices are amazing.

Real Women Have Curves was announced for this season yesterday previews begin April 1st opening April 27th.

Betsy Wolfe and Alice Ripley as mother and daughter omg!

jkcohen626 said: "Nichele Lewis is now Sarah. Great voice.But spends way to much time doing vocal acrobatics and certainly not an acting upgradebased on what I saw from The Wiz. Hoping that's just that Schele Williams sucks and Lear can get a better performance out of her."

Joaquina is also reads too old on stage to play Sarah and her scream singing does not suit the score 

IdinaBellFoster said: "ChrisTyler1288 said: "I've heard that Mackenzie Kurtz is playing Jovie. I would LOVE to get Beth Leavel back on Broadway re-creating her Emily."

Mackenzie Kurtz as Jovie would be pretty perfect casting."

Samantha Pauley said she was in final callbacks for Jovie but didn’t get it. She played Jovie in a big Chicago production a few years back.

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe all three of these are coming in this season."

The vagueness of "2025" for MIDNIGHT's announcement automatically made me think 2025-2026 season, for some reason, not the current seas
