Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center Feb 8
2025, 01:23:52 PM
Curious what kinds of adaptations to existing properties would be required to satisfy Trump. The Sound of Music, but the Von Trapp family decides to stay and perform after all? Ragtime, but the only cast members are the New Rochelle family? Perhaps a version of A Chorus Line where Zach immediately dismisses all the non-white Christian heterosexual dancers in celebration of anti-DEI policies? So many possibilities!

Audra appears in an interview for The New Yorker, and she says how basically she spoke with Sondheim about doing both Gypsy and A Little Night Music, and they decided she'd do Gypsy first, so I guess we can pretty much expect an Audra Desirée in the next five years."
Immediately salivating at the thought.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA musical headed to the UK and West End in 2024 Dec 9

Looking at my notes from the Chicago run and I think this show is now in a position where the changes they need to make are scene-to-scene, rather than a wholesale overhaul, which they've already effectively done.
As a musical, it still gets stuck at being just okay too often, and a lot of the numbers feel like incomplete thoughts, or are just missing that extra dramatic element. There are a lot of opportunities for a little expansion or extra dimension to these songs.

…I actually kinda liked this? There are still loads of improvements they could still make but the amount of changes they’ve done is really impressive. It honestly feels like they’ve done significant work on almost the entire show.

Mickey Jo has always struck me as being simply optimistic and supportive. Of course, any independent critic who lacks the secure access offered to those with traditional media employment is going to have to filter their reactions in a certain way. If you want to see some real knob-slobbing, explore the world of Disney vloggers.

It was really funny to revisit this after Tammy Faye, which is such an awkward show that seems to have no idea what it wants to be. Oh, Mary!, on the other hand, has a strong sense of purpose and vision, which allows them to layer ideas with precision that would fall apart under a less sure hand. It would be one thing if it was just a stupid comedy about an alcoholic Mrs Lincoln, but the framing of it as a warped reflection of a dowdy regional production of a terrible, old-fashioned hist

An unfocused mess with a number of issues, probably the worst of them being that I don't think this show either knows or cares to know the inner life of Tammy Faye. Brayben is putting in as committed and textured a performance as she possibly can, but because the book is so busy with plotting and secondary characters and so fragmented in tone, Tammy herself just kind of gets punted along from scene to scene, and no coherent portrait develops.
The satire and commentary is

I do think one of the biggest downfalls in this transfer that the producers didn't seem to take in to account is that America is a much much much more religious country than the UK, and people lost money to Tammy and her husband and all those alike.
Here in the UK we find the idea of TV evangelism hilarious, the whole thing is bonkers, so the show has clearly le

Kad said: "It should be noted that the musical whitewashes Jim Bakker’s relationship to Jessica Hahn. It’s portrayed as simply an affair- her allegations of being drugged and raped are not mentioned at all."
I would be fascinated to know why they made this choice.

It's a shame this apparently isn't coalescing because the Faye/Bakker story is painfully relevant and also a great piece of contemporary history (the rise of the 24 hour news cycle and the modern christofascist empire, both of which have basically lead directly to Trump). I'm almost curious enough to try to see it but I have no idea if it'll last long enough for that to happen.

To be fair, Trump only wants to denaturalize, incarcerate, and deport a bunch of people he thinks are poisoning the blood of America. Much like champagne, it's only a holocaust if there's incineration, otherwise it's just a sparkling pogrom.

I find the last scene to be incredibly phony and shallow, particularly following the reconciliation with his mother, which is probably the show's most genuine moment. One of the show's primary themes is about how suffocating it is to live in a falsehood, and it builds so beautifully to that scene with him and his mom, which is all about discarding those things in favor of a real, flawed human connection. And then the show switches over to the orchard and closes things out with a piece

The bit at the end where Zoe is like "your lies brought my family closer together and revitalized the orchard and saved the orphanage" is so weird and off-putting that it taints the rest of the show.
