The dog that died was trapped in its kennel. The other two were free-roaming and had access to a doggie door.

Waitress, "You Matter to Me"

I was revisiting the cast album and the original movie soundtrack after the news of Tony Roberts' death, and I had a couple of questions I was hoping you guys could answer:

I know that this is screening at Sundance soon, and IMDB states the release date is January 26th. Shouldn't we have a trailer (or at least a teaser) by now? Does anyone know when a trailer will be released?

I'd love to hear some of the music from this. Has anything been released or teased yet? 

Please forgive me if this has already been answered, but will the West End production feature the same songs, new songs, or reorchestrations of the same songs? Something else?

I was thinking about some of the discussion here about to what degree the film and/or musical embodies camp or camp aspects. I was wondering how people define "camp"? Then I accidentally came across this article titled "The Queer Immortality of Death Becomes Her", which I thought was interesting and I thought I'd share: https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/meryl-streep/death-becomes-her-queer-immortality

I'm especially curious about what you all think about this quote: "Death Becomes Her is a queer film, but not necessarily a campy film. That’s because it doesn’t draw any attention to the production of queer labor, which is to say it neither labors queerly nor highlights the labor of queers, either of which first needs to be present before camp can take root."

The one that immediately came to mind is "Popular" from Wicked:

"And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who you were
Well, are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-ler... lar"

Although Glinda doesn't explicitly explain it away, she attempts to correct the rhyme. Fun thread topic!

The standard orchestra ticket is 102.50 during the week. The code makes them 75$"

Ahh, I see. Thank you for clarifying.

What on earth? What am I missing?

BalconyClub said: "Use code SECRET to score $75 seats. Good for many performances during the run. Code also works at the box office."

Ticket prices are ranging $29 - $71.50. How is this a deal?

Thank you! I see it was just posted this morning. I can't wait to see more images!

Jacob, this set is amazing! How did you get this picture?

 

I'm really excited for this! I see Rob Lake from AGT is designing the illusions. I wonder if this may be an indication of what we might see illusion-wise (forward to around (9:31):

Sorry about that. I posted the wrong link. Here's the correct on ( at the 1:06 mark): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s7nD6PAg_m8

I found these, which are pretty interesting:

But in the second one, at the :20 and 1:35 marks, does anyone know why they're driving the cars backwards during filming?

 

P.S.  Sorry these aren't hyperlinked.
