ChairinMain said: "I dimly remember that an industryreading got done maybe a year ago? I think with Carrie Coon as Barbara? but I could be fully making that up. I'd love to see a revival. I saw the national tour twice and still get excited whenever I see Shannon Cochran's name in a playbill. She was a spectacular Barbara."
With Deirdre O'Connell as Violet!

MCC developing WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE musical by Bandits on the Run and Christopher Sears
Apr 13
2025, 11:18:44 PM
I re-watched Gilbert Grape for the first time in a few years and my, what a beautiful movie. A musical adaptation could be very special indeed. Does anyone know if this is still in the works, or who was part of the last workshop? Depp and DiCaprio are fantastic but I always come away from a re-watch in aw of Darlene Cates performance. Like the posters above, I'm very curious as to how they would handle her casting onstage.

@Jordan Catalano Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content I've not yet seen the musical but watched some interviews with Jackie post Queen of Versailles's and agree that this detail immediately spoils what is otherwise one of the few genuine, human moments I've seen of Jackie. In real life, her daughter did indeed include a note in which sh

I'm a huge fan of both Hunter and Laurie but likely won't get to see this production. Could someone spoil some of the plot/ending for me, maybe by private message? Very curious!

Samara Joy, perhaps ...

In Dreams in Toronto

Caught this recently in Toronto. I think I admired it more than I enjoyed it. Firstly, I am glad this isn't another paint-by-numbers biographical jukebox musical - I'm so glad that the creators made a real attempt at creating an original story.
I went in knowing next to nothing so this may well be common knowledge but, to give an idea as to the premise of the show ... Lena Hall plays Kenna, a musician who, recently diagnosed with cancer, escapes to a family run Mexica

Dolly Parton Broadway Bio Musical aiming for Spring 2025

2023, 10:53:07 PM
I'll start by saying I am a huge Dolly fan so either way, I'll be buying a ticket. Though my instinct is this will be a bright, flashy camp fest - I would love to see somebody take Dolly's music and construct an original story, something akin to "Girl from The North Country". Her earlier work is some of the most beautiful, tragic, theatrical music ever written. Songs like "Down from Dover", "The Bridge", "Daddy Come and Get Me&

Dylan Smith4 said: "I swear, what these people are doing is just wrong. There are other ways to protest, but disrupting a theatrical performance is the last straw in my book! Imagine if this were to happen on Broadway!"
I genuinely don't mean this to sound smartass - but it's really the last straw in your book? I am a huge theatre fan, but it's also not some sacred thing immune from protest. Just Stop Oil intend to disrupt, I'm frankly more surprised

Does anyone know how long Betty is expected to stay with the show, or whether she has any planned absences?
I'm not sure exactly when Betty is due to leave, but I do know the next Persephone is already locked in. I would love to catch Betty before then, having seen Jewelle (and Maria-Christina on tour)

I caught this a couple of years back when it premiered in Dublin. I'm not sure if it's changed at all since but my main feeling after echoed exactly what Jordan said above - "why?"
I could also argue it's not really a musical? Ok there's music, there's singing, but there are no real songs, excluding one at the end of act 1. Again, it may have changed since, but a huge chunk of the show was basically just "talk singing" with undersc
