What a talent!
Did anyone else love the movie Summer Magic? It's not that well known, but as a kid my family and I loved it. I especially loved the music, and we had the album at home.

Wish Broadway was open on 12/25 Dec 5

Yeah kinda wish I didn't bring it up, but a night out at the movies with extended family on Christmas will not be a tradition anymore. I think movie premieres on Christmas in an actual theater will not be a thing.
I just like the thought of everybody sitting together watching a live show on Broadway would be great new tradition.

Yes, I know performers would like to be with family on Christmas Day like most people. My family traditionally goes to a movie after dinner on Christmas. There are NO good movies or theaters like pre-covid . Last year was WSS, but the theater was so dead. Nothing like Little Women in 2019. It was packed.
So, there is nothing we want to see, but I would kill to go to a Broadway show. Maybe it would be cheaper because peeps want to stay home?
Please make this a tradition! Th

FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread Apr 25
2022, 05:35:33 PM
I'm sad that the revival is sub-par because I love Funny Girl ( or maybe I just love Barbra, duh). I went on YT to check out BF's singing voice and all I could think of is Annie voice. She could be an orphan in "Annie".
The reviews seem to love Jane Lynch and I am wondering if she (DBO. don't be offended) put on a Jewish Brooklyn accent. Because you know, she looks Nordic almost and nothing like Beanie.

Shows that work better as a recording Aug 26

Jesus Christ Superstar.
Every Easter my family listens to the original recording. I add in the movie addition of "Could we start again Please".
I have seen renditions in Chicago (not Broadway but...) and of course the film and I just rather listen to original which was awesome.

Light in the Piazza tour - Broadway transfer? Dec 20
2019, 05:38:04 PM
I went to the Sunday matinee and thought it was wonderful-- I choked up at the end. Renee Fleming really didn't "belt out" any notes until her last solo which I found mesmerizing. The scenery stayed the same throughout the show, they just turned the statue around in the second act. I found all the supporting players really great especially Solea. This show does not have any choreography to speak of , so I can't say anything about that.
We had second balcony tickets which were upgraded to the main floor when we got to the theater. That was nice. One of the scenes was strictly spoken/sung in Italian , and we were wondering if that was the case in the Broadway production.? Anyway we were in an opera house, so when in Rome!

Omg! I have always thought that too! She was so good, (and star Demi Moore so bad) in that movie, with a very subtly nuanced performance that made her character ,who started out as just a normal person, end up a scary monster. I wish she had been nominated for something for that r
