THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON Heading to Broadway Next Season Jun 20
2025, 02:34:14 PM
I saw this show on my recent trip to London and I really just fell in love with it.
I found it incredibly charming, endearing, and clever, with a lot of heart. I don't know if it's a perfect show or if it will be a commercial hit on Broadway, but I fell for it. And especially Clare Foster's performance. She felt earthy and grounded in a very Jessie Mueller way that I just adored.

Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025 Jun 20

The idea that Ariana Debose is loved by the public is pretty laughable when she can't even sell a movie. Loved by broadway, maybe take a look to see how many of

New play PF opening on Broadway this fall? Jun 17
2025, 11:07:29 PM
Saw this play over the weekend and was actually incredibly impressed by how ambitious and audacious it is. It tries to tackle more issues than it has space for and I'm not sure it entirely sticks the landing, but there was some really interesting and thought-provoking stuff in there, I found it far more worthwhile than a handful of other things I've seen on Broadway this season.
Pretty expertly performed, especially by John McCrea and Rachel Crowl, and requiring a lot of these

I've been told the earliest this would come is early 2027. ALW won't want to have Evita competing against Cats at the Tonys next year and Jamie is booked with other work fall 2026. Possible things change, but as of now that's the plan.
The Kerr is far too small for any production of Evita.

THE LAST FIVE YEARS Reviews Jun 16
2025, 12:13:37 AM
Saw this production during previews and thought it was poorly-directed with 2 performers who were completely miscast for various reasons. One of my least favorite nights in a theatre this year.
Tonight was an exceptional evening in the theatre. Conversely, one of my favorite evenings in a theatre this year. It's still a poorly-directed production but with 2 star-making performances to focus on, the noise fell away.
The audience was full of family, friends, industry members,

Drama Desk nominations '25 Jun 1

EmceeHammer said: "Boop! won more Drama Desk Awards than Sunset Blvd.
seriously though, they predict the acting categories fairly accurately. Has Audra pulled ahead?"
I think it's pretty clear Audra pulled ahead a while ago. People here can have differing opinions on her performances, but it seems pretty clear the industry is leaning Audra's direction over Nicole's and has been for quite some time.

FLOYD COLLINS Reviews May 25
2025, 09:24:04 PM
Though Resnick was breathtaking. A glorious, full voice that sounded like heaven singing this material. I know Zak as a big riffer, but he was incredibly restrained and delved into the heart of the material. His physicality struck me as potentially stronger than Jordan's, though emotionally I give the edge of Jeremy as he's had more time with the material. But vocally? Neck and neck potentially with Resnick just slightly edging him out.
And completely agree with InTheBathroom1.

Les MIs tour cast to Boycott Trump performance May 8
2025, 05:33:32 PM
This video of white nationalist Stephen Miller has nothing to do with the topic of the cast of Les Mis not wanting to perform for fellow white nationalist Donald Trump. Asking people to devote 10 seconds much less 5 minutes of their time to Miller's inane word salad and using that as defense for shaming artists -- some of whom may be queer, people of color, immigrants -- for not wanting to perform for a man whose very existence he calls into question on a daily basis is actually just as r

I don't think she's a Trump support but I think she's shown she isn't the most thoughtful or intelligent. She also liked posts about RFK Jr. And like I said she was frequently interacting with Russell Brand prior to the hat fiasco. Says enough about her.

Glad you asked. From timestamp 0:00 - 5:21.
I will never agree with anything Stephen Miller has to say or do. The man is evil incarnate.

A patently insane thing to do and then shared with a video of Stephen Miller, one of the most vile and repugnant people on earth, means the rest of your post loses any ounce of credibility it may have had. And there was no credibility to begin with.

Lincoln Center Theater to Revive RAGTIME at the Vivian Beaumont, Fall 2025 May 7
2025, 04:58:06 PM
I thought Levy acted the role well, there was a warmth and kindness to her especially in scenes with the Little Boy and with Younger Brother that were lovely. Vocally, it was not the best fit but she has great technique and maneuvered it well (aside from Goodbye My Love which I think is just placed too high for her), and delivered a wonderful Back to Before. She would not be my first choice for Mother in a Broadway revival (Kate Baldwin, please!) but she was not my biggest problem with the pr

I think it does hint that perhaps Nicole's performance isn't as beloved in the industry as it might be to the general public. And that Rogers might have a legitimate chance at upsetting both Nicole and Audra
