Richard Linklater - Merrily We Roll Along Aug 29
2019, 05:46:53 PM
A Director said: "Talk about AIRHEADS.
"The play takes place over the course of 20 years, and sources say that Linklater plans to stay true to that timeline."
Nowhere in the article does it state Linklater is going to take 20 years to film it. The musical covers TWENTY YEARS."
Just in case you don't believe it will be shot over 20 years, here's the tweet from the person who wrote the article that you are quoting:

Lauren Zakrin has said on social media that she will be in San Francisco for a year. So chances are pretty good that she will be in the SF "Cursed Child" cast.

it's still there, and if I'm not mistaken, I think the grosses have been all BoM banners for a long time already.

West Side Story revival? Jul 11

Not to speak for the other poster, but I am shocked at how people in this thread continue to try excuse Amar's actions. The false equivalencies are truly stunning.
Of course those two situations are different. But, it seems pretty logical that if someone is offended by both, that they would avoid both a $15

If you voluntarily share something that personal and private with someone, of course, that person could share them with other people. That doesn't mean that they have the right to. While "revenge p*rn" is not yet illegal in New York appa

It's still not clear here. Did Ramasar take the photos he had with permission or not? That makes a huge difference. The rest is just dirty talk, and like all dirty talk is offensive or not depending on the individual, but not threatening or criminal. If he photographed a woman's body without her consent, that's a crime. If he forced a woman to do something she didn't want, that's a crime. But did he?
Whether he did or not, sharing nude pictures/videos

Mrs Doubtfire Musical May 9

I think the larger issue is that only men are getting hired to write/direct the movie-to-musical adaptations (and really most Broadway shows in general). Without speaking for anyone in this thread, I don't think that the concerns are strictly about this particular show's creative team, and more just about who gets to be on Broadway creative teams in general; which, in my opinion, is very much a problem, no matter the content of the show.

lolz to people thinking Baz and Riedel are the same. If you check their track records, I think that you will find that no less than 3/4s of the time, what Baz tweets ends up being officially confirmed the next morning. Riedel hasn't had a batting average approaching that even in his dreams.

Ghost the Musical - Lyric Feb 19

The use of "ditto" is an iconic theme from the movie. So, it would be weird if it wasn't included in the musical. It might be a bit more clunky on stage (I've never seen the stage show), but you can't really do an adaptation of "Ghost" without the multiple exchanges/plot points around the use of "ditto."

All four have been on Broadway, and Theatrefanboy1 did make it clear they were talking about Broadway returns. Cheyenne I would imagine will be back at some point, but I have always been shocked at how long it has been

TonyTilli said: "So lets flip it then: youd be super chill with a half-Black, half-white woman who looks fully white playing Rosa Parks?"
You do realize that Puerto Rican is a nationality, and African-American is a race, right? You can be Puerto Rican and have any variety of racial backgrounds. While I don't disagree that having a Puerto Rican actress who presents especially white would probably be more problematic in this context, getting upset about someone tha

TonyTilli said: "Are there really so few actors in the world that the same person has to playboth Anita ANDDonna Summer, two women of completely different ethnic backgrounds?For me, that does not speak to the ability and range of the actress, but the inability of the creatives to free themselves from casting what they consider to be universally palatable, "ethnically ambiguous" talent. It is also a horrible example of Hollywood seeing race as only two options: White and Not White, instead of the varied, complex, and specific cultures and races that exist on this planet, like the onebeing presented explicitly in West Side Story."
Um.... DeBose is both Puerto Rican and African American. So, I'm not exactly sure what your problem is with her playing characters that share those ethnic backgrounds with her. She has said herself that she knows that she presents as black, but her father is Puerto Rican, and her mother is white. She has said that she does have "African-American lineage," as well as Italian. So, what is your problem exactly? That she doesn't look Puerto Rican enough? Or that she doesn't look African-American enough?
