As a theater fan as well, this has me extremely excited. It may bomb, who knows. But I am honestly ready for a fun night out with my friends to relive a huge part of our lives.
Also, as a theater fan, I admit that I am one of the people who often complainedabout jukebox and bio-musicals. But I a

Lion King and Phantom for my friend, which aren't a big deal since I doubt they're closing any time soon. But JLP and Cursed Child don't have anything past Jul/early Aug. And then crossing my fingers Virginia Woolf or Flying Over Sunset extend.

When should I expect tickets for late August to go on sale. A lot of the newer shows already have tickets but I'm taking a first-timer with me and there's some of the older shows I'm gonna take them to see and they only have tix till early August at the latest. Just curious if there was a time period that they usually come out or if it's more of a show by show thing

So will they run through this like a normal show? Should I expect stoppages? I saw the revival on Broadway and it's not a super technical show. Just wondering if I should lower my expectations for the AR show I have tickets to"
It will be more like final dress rehearsals. Running the show each night to make final little t

So the Dallas production should have the same cast? A friend of mine was confused since the Playbill article says the official start is the LA engagement and it's running in Dallas before that. I bought a ticket today just in case cause I love me some Eden Espinosa.

She was attached. At that time, the cast was Madonna and Goldie Hawn, but there was no director attached. When Nichol

Isn't there a new rule that you can't send just the song out anymore, that you can only send it as part of the movie or something like that? I remember that being brought up when Remember Me won last year since it worked much better as part of the story than as a stand alone song, unlike This Is Me.

I found the scenes chronicling Ally'smeteoric rise to be very by-the-numbers and underdeveloped, with no clear length of thetimeline. Was it weeks, months, a year? That might not matter to some, but it did to me.Also, Gaga's reactions to certain events during the second half seemedcontrived. |

Streisand won an Oscar for Best Song for co-writing the song “Evergreen.”"
I know, but I don't know if there were any nods to Streisand in the new film like there was for Judy.

I promise you it's not a "Hillary Clinton play." It's more a "women in politicsplay" if anything."
Yeah, when they did it here in Dallas, they had a black woman play Hillary.

Disclaimer: I've never seen any version of A Star is Born.
I enjoyed this film much more than I thought I would. It hits a lot of great notes, and has some amazing performances (Sam Elliott for best supporting please). I really do think Cooper could win best actor, he was superb. Gaga was......capable? IDK I wasn't blown away, but I do think she did a great job (I got super emotional during the scene where he pulls her on stage). I also was glad they had a small nod to Garland

From what I can decipher she's gotten the opportunity to step out of that kind of role once or twice - but for the most part that's all she's been known to play.
She can do "Audrey" in her sleep at this point. It's not much of a stretch for her.
I really would like to see

A Channing tour? It's surely been done in the round at places like Sacramento Music Circus or North Shore Music Theatre or the Marriott Lincolnshire, but there are virtually no in-the-round touring theatres in the US."
It may have been like maybe a one off production with Channing. She says it was her, because Channing h
