Eddie Perfect just announced on an Instagram live that he’s releasing a 20-something track album of his Beetlejuice demo recordings at midnight on all major streaming services!
It’s called Beetlejuice: The Demos, The Demos, The Demos!
Should be a fun Halloween treat.

Broadway to Close?

Sophia Caruso departs Beetlejuice

I saw someone mention that she deleted most things that have to do with Beetlejuice off of her Instagram. I haven’t really paid attention to what she’s posted there, but when looking at it, you have to go pretty far back to find anything about BJ.
If that’s true, that’s a total red flag that not everything is what it’s being portrayed as.

Loudest gasp you've heard in the theatre
Feb 14
2020, 12:21:56 PM
It’s been mentioned on here a couple times, but I saw Hadestown on Tuesday night and the collective gasp from the audience at the end cracked me up.
It never was a surprise to me because I’m a huge nerd for Greek Mythology, and I’ve been following this show for a while, but I can definitely see still feeling the punch from that, even with knowing.
It’s best explained when Hermès says something along the lines of telling the story over and over and hoping for a different endin

He used to regularly. I met him at the stage door after the last preview before opening night. From what I’ve heard, he only comes out sometimes now since that whole stage door threat he got last year.

Tours with better casts than OBCs
Jan 3
2020, 02:55:55 PM
I dont know if this has ever been discussed on here, but has anyone ever came across a tour that you think has a better cast, or was a better show, than the original Broadway performance?
I thought of this when I watched the Frozen Tour’s performance at the Rose parade. I love our original Broadway Anna and Elsa, but Caroline Bowman and Caroline Innerbichler blew me away with how well they both embody the characters.

I’ve seen that happen a lot. Not just with Beetlejuice. On other show pages too. It’s just weird and I don’t get it.

Modern The Sound of Music

Actually, the von Trapps were critical of SOM for straying so far from the real life events and character, they might prefer a darker version that more clearly demonstrates the danger the family was in and the bravery of their actions.
Really? I wasn’t aware of that. I assumed they were pretty happy with the adaption given how popular it is. Maybe a darker and grittier version would be a good idea then! I know that the real story isn’t as dramatic as the musical makes out because they quite happily boarded a train and left Austria in complete comfort rather than hiking over a mountain.
True the VonTrapps were unhappy how their father was portrayedbecause I guess in reality he wasn’t cold and cruel. Sounds like Maria was the one with the temper.They left on a train for America.nhttps://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2005/winter/von-trapps-html
like many adaptationsthe Sound of Music is looselybased on a true story."
You can’t get a train from Austria to America, haha. No, I knowthey they didn’t leave Austria bound for American. They went to Italy first then moved to England and eventually settled in American four years after leaving Austria. I do know quite a lot about the real story I just didn’t realise the Von Trapps weren’t happy with the musical because they do so much promotion for it. I know one of Maria’s granddaughters actually played her in a production!"
They settled in Vermont once they got to America because the scenery reminded them of home. It’s now a lodge where people can stay on vacation, or have weddings. I live a couple hours from it. It’s absolutely beautiful. They’re all buried there on the property too.

The funny thing is probably about 10-20% of anyone on any given Broadway stage (including at the Winter Garden) has fond memories of trading videos either on VHS or megaupload. Not to mention watching a few less-than-legal videos on YouTube, I’m sure.

Someone filming at a performance of Beetlejuice yesterday REALLY upset Alex Brightman, because hes been tweeting a lot about it since. Its causing quite the debate in the comments because some people are trying to argue that its okay.
He sounds mad enough that next time it happens, hes just going to pull a Patti LuPone

First Look At Meryl Streep & James Corden in The Prom Movie
Dec 14
2019, 03:19:36 PM
I was a big fan of The Prom on Broadway and I was so happy when they announced the movie. And I’m willing to save most of my judgements about the cast not including any of the OBC.
That being said, I’m not usually a negative person like most on here, but I am SO sick of James Corden. He’s not right for this role, and I feel like his singing is just being shoved in our faces at all possible opportunities.

I do think Jordan will be great at this role. I don't consider him a stunt cast since he has theater experience already but certainly one of the bigger names they've had in the cast. He will probably only do 6 shows a week like the other main Ev

Not just you. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that, and I also felt like he was too “cool” for Mark in Rent Live. But Rent Live is a whole other story. Lol

I’m personally not a Jordan Fisher fan, but I’m intrigued as to what he’s going to bring to the role. Most things I’ve seen with him seems like he tends to oversing (unnecessary vocal runs, etc), so I wonder if he’s going to rein it in a little bit.

I came to this thread thinking I would learn more about the topic originally proposed (are non-smoking contracts common on Broadway), and what a wild ride it's been.

Then we've got a slightly larger crowd going off on a bunch of tangents from one end (wondering what would possess a singer to smoke, e

jansalrose said: "No, you had to use that specific example. IF you were "simply curious", you would've just asked if there was anything in an actor's contract that would prevent them from smoking. (Which, let's face it, is impossible). You didn't have to drag a specific person into the discussion, leading people to make judgements on Miss Caruso's personal life and choices. It's scary how much people read into a performer's photos on social media
