Hilty & Simard to lead DEATH BECOMES HER in Chicago spring 2024 May 1

This all confirms my initial hunch- why the hell did they cast Michelle Williams? This role needs a powerhouse performer - she ain’t it. Let’s hope they recast her before this comes to the Lunt.

Riedel podcast covering SUNSET BOULEVARD with interviews including AWL, Close, LuPone, Sondheim Apr 25

This was perfectly enjoyable to listen to, but I learnt nothing new and his trailing “You won’t believe what Patti says next” made no sense when she says nothing that biting at all.
it also repeats the same facts over and over again. Could have done with more Glenn. Though the fact she didn’t reach out to Patti after was disappointing.
It still beggars belief how badly this was handled by ALW and management.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews Apr 22
2024, 06:12:18 AM
I’m glad that NYC critics have seen through this production. It completely mystified me how they got away with it in London.
As one review says, Redmaynes Emcee is just a collection of outlandish costumes and nothing more. That sums up the whole production- just a collection of ideas, none of which hang together.
Sunset Blvd is in another league. There’s a vision for the whole piece that is consistent , and will killer performances. Th

Lempicka's Fashion @Opening Night Apr 16

This original post is the best thing I’ve ever read on here. It should be framed and on a wall at MOMA.
A film should be made about it, then a musical starring the (sadly soon to be unemployed) cast of Lempicka

That Beauty revival is dreadful and not worthy of Broadway. Especially at this glorious theater.

TBFL said: "TaffyDavenport said: "The "split screen" of "This Time Next Year" is one of the best pieces of staging I've ever seen, if not the best."
The Jamie Lloyd production heading to NYC has a nice little homage to that staging. When they light the scene, the light only goes up to about the height That the house raised to in the original. Not sure if it was intentional, seems too similar for it not to be.

Disney Opening a new show at the New Amsterdam this September? Apr 12

Calm down everyone. You’ve got it all wrong.
the Disney theatrical office is at the New Amsterdam. Above the theatre. This is advertising a job based working at the OFFICE there. Aladdin ain’t closing anytime soon, sadly.
Also the plan is for Hercules to open In London at the end of the year, not Broadway.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club Previews Apr 1

Some really dumb comments on here.
As in london. The stage for this is NOT where the August Wilson stage is. It’s further forward and over the orchestra pit so they can have the lift in the centre of the stage.
Eddie Redmayne will only win the Tony if every other male performance is terrible this season. He isn’t good in this. But people will think he is because every time he comes on he is in some striking costume , that makes no sense. The whole production is style

What’s the importance of the lift and turntable in hadestown? Mar 27
2024, 04:27:00 AM
You really have a friend questioning the ‘importance’ of people going down on a lift- in a show where they are going to hell?
Tell them to get out more.
is anything important?
These are the choices they made.

2024, 09:37:08 AM
Next years Tony’s are going to be way more exciting than this year.
i wouldn’t be able to choose between Brayben and Scherzinger for Best actress.
Who knows- maybe Death Becomes Her will give some stiff competition too.

Also, Williams is from the Chicago area.

Kad said: "Yes, Audra McDonald was going to do Gypsy, but then heard about another actress who would be doing something else that season, and Audra said, “Oh no, I won’t win the Tony. Shut it down.” That is a normal, realistic thing to have happened."
Yes- Hello Nicole Scherzinger.
