I saw Natalie Charle Ellis go on for Jen Simard in the Chicago run, and she was just as magnificent as Jen.

I love Grand Hotel (and have appeared in a local production). They presented it at Encores a few years back, and it was spectacular. I was really, really hoping it would transfer to Broadway.

Rocky Horror 2025 Revival

I think the show works best with a male-presenting actor in women’s clothing as Frank. Since the character is a “transvestite” not a drag queen or trans woman. I’m all on the Sydney James Harcourt bandwagon. I also think Ryan McCartan would be an excellent Brad, as he was in the Fox movie, and he would probably jump at the chance, since he often says it was his favorite role.

I first saw it as an audience member and then was lucky enough to get to usher for it for several months up until its first closing night (due to 9/11). Alas, I was out of town during the 6-week return so didn't get to witness the amazingness of Gilbert Gottfried (and the other guest stars) as the Narrator!!! I say just bring back t

Did we see the same show?Hunter's version was one of the worst things I ever saw. I didn't know Rocky could be so unsexy orunfunny. There is more to the show than just making fisting and jerk-off motions

Right, Philippe, who was tremendous. I wasn’t sold on the whole cast when they announced it, but wow, perfection, each and every one.

Just saw the first performance at the Kennedy Center. Disclaimer: I’ve always been a super fan of the show, but can also be quite critical of some of the productions I’ve seen. That said, I think this production is nearly perfect. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is that it’s not the original Broadway production. The cast was tremendous, and it was as fully staged as you’d expect from a show that might have sights set on a NY revival.

Doesn't the "In Memoriam" at the Tony Awards serve the same purpose, allow for more people to be honored, and provide an opportunity for more people to observe the tribute?

This tradition needs to be replaced by something else. Seems like every time we lose someone, there's controversy, emotions and arguments about who is deserving and how many theatres will participate. The fight over how to memorialize these artists is exhausting and completely takes attention away from remembering their contributions.
And how many people actually go to the Broadway district and observe the dimming vs. how many get involved in the demands and controversy?

If you're interested, she and her family were on Family Feud back in the 90s. Apparently, she was quite the game show regular...

Unfortunately, the reviews are pretty accurate. I feel bad for the producers, who obviously put their personal experiences and heart into this, and for the cast, who are all super talented.

I was just saying last week that we haven't seen her in a long time. So thrilled she'll be back on stage and in this show! Front row tickets purchased.

I saw it tonight. It was obviously heavily papered based on the audience reaction and the full house vs the availability yesterday. Great cast, working very hard, but it just didn’t work for me. It seemed like an overly long SNL sketch or some Second City political parody. The political figures were cartoonish. It was trying to be very broadly funny, but I didn’t really laugh at all. The only part I found amusing was “Lindsey Graham”’s song, “Good Boy.&rdqu

It wasn’t yet on Broadway at the time, but the Little Shop of Horrors movie put out a ton of merchandise, mostly Audrey II related. I have a lot of it, including games, trading cards and candy.

I enjoyed the show very much. Saw it three times in Chicago and twice on Broadway. Love the score and performances. I understand others have wildly different opinions, but now that I’ve read such objective facts about it being manipulative garbage and not having “real theatre songs,” I guess I should skip the tour when it comes to town. It will probably be hard to get tickets anyway. 🙄

I remember that line, and it was pretty funny. I don't know their specific concerns. I'm assuming it has to do with themes of frugality and greed. I didn't pick up on it, but it was the first thi
