GYPSY Previews - most important question

Jordan Catalano said: "Dolly80 said: "All I want to know is whether the marquee signs in the released Roses Turn photo are actually backwards in the show? And if they are- why?!"

Yes, they are. And I don’t know why.

I wonder if it's because the marquees are For Her and not us? she's caught in a projected fantasy, it's a closed loop. a manifestation that in reality is only between Rose and Rose alone.

Andrew Lloyd Webber announces his next musical The Illusionist
 Oct 28 2024, 01:00:23 PM

Excited to see Bruno Major's name in the theatre world. He has an elegant knack for songwriting and traditional pop-standard form (and is an excellent producer in the music industry), though I don't know how much hand in the musical structure he'll have with credit solely as a lyricist. Lyrically he's usually in a "quietly profound" kind of wheelhouse, which makes me wonder how he'll recalibrate for something with a more dramatic, operatic scale. 

Hope this opens some doors for him in

Let's finally bring Chess back to Broadway - Ali would sell the hell outta that score


ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Previews

You should! Sounds like my area has been sorely missing out.


ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Previews

Is Mattress still a high school musical juggernaut? No shade to the show, which is perfectly fun and certainly appropriate for teens, but I feel like I hear more about Into the Woods or Beauty and the Beast or Footloose (or now Mean Girls and The Addams Family) these days.

Just found it funny that they implied its popularity with kids not once but twice in a rather succinct press rel


ILLINOISE Reviews
 Jul 19 2024, 02:16:47 PM

Saw this both yesterday evening and last week -- got a journal in my Playbill last Monday, but did not get one last night. Seems they ran out sometime this past week and may not be planning to produce more for the final weeks.

 

Seen Illinoise three times now, and it remains one of the most moving, open-hearted productions I've ever seen. Hoping to go at least one more time, maybe I'll finally remember to bring tissues.

 

 


Cast Replacements

Word on the street is the current cast will extend for at least a few more months.

Very excited that this group will be the one to break the "one year" trend, if so. Seen them twice on Broadway and it's some of the best singing I've ever heard onstage.

Could Herbie be Danny Burstein? Does "Honey Bun" in South Pacific count as drag?


Would love to see a Sound of Music Revival

God, imagine this as a Hytner's Carousel-sized revival at the Beaumont - the orchestra swells as the stage rolls forward to reveal Maria on the Austrian Alps...


3 female musical theatre songs!

"So Good So Far" from The Hello Girls is stunning. Each woman gets a verse and they come together with beautiful harmonies at the end

No Growltiger or Pekes and Pollicles. Everything else seemed to be intact.


'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' at PAC reviews
 Jun 14 2024, 12:59:05 PM

I was there last night! Definitely sung live, and the ensemble as a whole sounds full and strong when they all sing together (Shereen Pimentel is giving probably the best soprano vocals I've ever heard on this score, btw, and that soprano line gets pretty damn high). The score sounds like it usually does, with some added ballroom beats during some of the dance breaks and category walks, as Theatrefan mentioned. They blend seamlessly (and often thrillingly) into the show.

I saw and loved HLL (10 years ago) and Wine and Rose off-broadway, and I'm excited to catch up withStereophonic and Illinoise on my NYC visit starting tomorrow. These "best tracks" though are still not moving meto spend money onW4E, Outsiders, HK, and Suffs. I do have one slot open, though, and realizingthat judging them divorced of their scores is hard, can anyone recommend which onemight be the most engaging on a dramatic/non-musical level. I'm leaning toward Suffs? (I'm also seeing EOTP, Cats, Ben Platt, and Christine Andreas).


"

If you're able to get a seat up a bit closer, I would actually recommend Water for Elephants -- The best part of the show is Jess Stone's kaleidoscopic approach to the story, and the main actors are doing some strong, grounded work amongst the spectacle of the acrobatics (particular shout outs to Paul Alexander Nolan, Isabelle McCalla, and Gregg Edelman). Seen it a few times now, and it's just gotten richer as the show has settled and steeped.

What's John C. Reilly up to these days?

If the casting notice had been different, I would have loved to see Jeffrey Wright and Audra together onstage.

FLOYD COLLINS to be given Broadway revival by Lincoln Center

babyjunegem said: "I'm puzzled by the desire to make Herbie white and make colorism between June and Louise a focal point of the show. Why is the latter in particularnecessary? This show will need Black theatergoers to keep it alive once the usual Broadway crowd has come through. Adding the colorism elements comes across as condescending. We know it exists, and we don't want to be beaten over the head with it.I would hope that Wolfe doesn't go for such low hanging fruit.<
