Something I hope other people realize is that people can say no to a role. So you can think they are perfect, and will be perfect, but it ultimately comes down to so many factors that we a

sorry, but attendance issues aside, Alex Newell has earned this role and would absolutely bring down the house whenever they go on as Effie.  Just as I have earned being in the audience multiple times whenever they do so........

PS How is doing a musical of this movieany worse than making a musical out of HEATHERS, ROMY AND MICHELLE..., CLUELESS, XANADU, MEAN GIRLS, MRS DOUBTFIRE, BEETLEJUICE, KINKY BOOTS, etc etc. Sometimes they work ---most times they don't.

Not really --- I was offended by the fact that this survey was blatantly asking an out & proud gay man if they

Just got another Telecharge survey about a new upcoming musical.  The only thing more offensive than the potential for a musical version of this stupid movie is that they REALLY want to know if it will appeal to straight men.  

Really???!!!??  Asking me this is like asking a vegan what they think about the new BBQ Brisket Whopper from Burger King

Hard pass.........

I suspect that Cabaret is waiting until late-in-the-day on Friday to announce an early closing...... bury the lead so that it's less embarrassing

David Yazbek did mention on his IG when the Audible recording was announced that a separate full cast recording was also forthcoming ---  holding out hope that's still the case

I went to the third preview of Pirates --- the afternoon after seeing Kylie at MSG and clubbing all night afterwards -- wasn't really in the 'matinee mood', and totally expected to hate it.  

Was shocked by how much i enjoyed it, and i actually returned to see it a few more times during it's (too brief)  run.

and I agree that David Hyde Pierce was ROBBED --- he did truly stunning work here.

Cannot wait for the cast recording

it's pretty much a recording of the entire stage show, both music and dialogue, with a few added 'touches' (crickets chirping and campfire crackling in the background, some added text & lyrics to explain some of the things that were visual in the show, and the mentioned 'Normal' reprise for Julia) to further enhance and explain the story for those that may have missed seeing it live. 

Think of it as a fantastic old fashioned Radio Play, but wi
