Les MIs tour cast to Boycott Trump performance
 Jun 12 2025, 07:56:50 PM

It was clearly wrong of me to reply in that way and make things personal - neither of us is going to change the mind of the other.

Ah yes the side of tolerance and love and humanity strikes again. If not for doublestandards, the Left would have no standards at all.

do you have a big button that you wear that says "#1 fascism enthusiast" or is it an iron-on patch

I'd like to think he would identify more with the character who kills himself.

Smash changed ending SINCE OPENING-SPOILER
 May 6 2025, 06:53:56 PM

i asked chat gpt about it and it told me that the new ending is "all three beautiful and vivacious actresses vying for the coveted central role in Bombshell are smashed by a two-ton weight, much to the delight and satisfaction of the paying audience" is this true???

lmao “the audience was wrong!” Or maybe it was just a stale, shallow satire that had nothing new to say about a subject Americans have been drowning in for decades? The whole show was a warmed-over rehash of Dana Carvey’s Church Lady, a character that debuted nearly forty years ago. It seems like the British creative team were unable to understand just how much this material saturated our media landscape, and I find that to be kind of fascinating.

I don't know how this was so completely off my radar but I am suddenly very intrigued.


Broadway Flops you love that everybody else hates
 Apr 1 2025, 12:12:43 PM

I didn't and still don't like Groundhog Day, but that show had a really rotten advertising campaign that did almost nothing to communicate that it was more than just a cash-grab adaptation.


Broadway Flops you love that everybody else hates

I really loved how wickedly dark Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was willing to go, and I can imagine a more cohesive version that goes all-in on how grotesque the show's world is. The London production came a little closer to that in some ways ("Juicy!" was excellent), but Veruca being danced to dismemberment by the squirrels on Broadway was a highlight of that whole season.


AI backdrops on Broadway
 Mar 27 2025, 02:28:51 PM

Viola's mansion would be an afternoon project in Blender for anyone remotely skilled in basic 3D work, but it's possible AI was used. Looking closely at this image you can see that the fan elements on top of the columns have the typical AI HR Giger look, where things aren't quite evenly spaced or symmetrical, almost like the structure of a mushroom:



If I were being generous, I would suggest this was done on purpose to create an unsettling visual quality, but who knows? You can see similar elements in the Boop! preshow scrim, in the little cityscapes along the side:



The oddly lumpy swirl, the strange filament-like lines, and the randomly placed and weirdly distorted windows are all things you see in AI art.

‘Operation Mincemeat’ Broadway Review: This British Import Works Way Too Hard to Be Fun

Nothing kills a laugh faster than seeing actors sweat



https://www.thewrap.com/operation-mincemeat-broadway-review/
"

It's a five person, full length musical. You think they'll be in lounge chairs and PJ's for two and a half hours? It's work. I don't know what you were expecting.
"

Hofler's review isn't very good, but the point is that being able to "see the sweat" (i.e., the effort) is a quick way to deflate comedy because it comes across as forced and desperate.


Isabella Huppert in‘Mary Said What She Said’ at Skirball (NYT Critic's Pick)

Glad to see Wilson back in NY, I don't think he's had a production here since his Shakespeare Sonnets.


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!

Musicaldudepeter said: "Audra Interview

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.
