See that's just the point. If this happens, she won't be playing Fanny, she'll be playing Barbara Streisand playing Fanny. Also, that book is gonna need some cleaning. It's creakier than Charity.

Honestly, I think it would be great if they could get Lane to come back as Senex this time. And just watch, they'll probably try and get Josh Gad for Pseudolus...

The original Broadway production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

I'm sorry, but can we stop calling them "platform shoes". They are clearly modeled after Kothornoi, the raised sole shoes worn by ancient Greek actors to symbolize characters of great importance or "god" like status. Not to be nit-picky or anything :)

No, but he has had multiple concerts "cancelled" in the US for his views. They talked all about it in his New Yorker interview.

@johnnycantdecide, have you heard Cornell sing live in the last like 8 years. There is no WAY he could handle those vocals especially with how Lloyd Webber wants Jesus sung now. Honestly this whole thing looks like a mess. Boyd has been off the mark since the last Incubus album which I think was 11. I would love to have seen Minchin do this in North America, but he's kinda box office poison in America, outside of NY, given his outspoken Atheist views.

"As much as I love the songs in Pippin the book is a non-starter. The Bob Fosse staging and the performances it inspired were electrifying. I have suffered through many productions of Pippin through the years hoping to see that spark rekindled and always thought it was the difference between professional and non professional productions. Sitting at the Music Box it was even more evident what a magnificent job Fosse did because now not only do we have his essence in the choreography but we have a

Broadway stage mishaps/accidents

"During a preview for the Roundabout's "The Man Who Came to Dinner", Jean Smart tripped on the steps during her entrance and fell flat on her ass. Nathan Lane stood up from his wheelchair and director Jerry Zaks who was sitting in the first row was running up to the stage as Ms. Smart, a consumate actress, jumped up and did a "ta da" (like do I know how to make an entrance) and the show continued without a hitch."
She must be clumsy. Saw a similar incident in previews where Ms. Smart go

Said this on another site but it bears repeating. If this is the stage version then shame on the town. However if it's that stupid shadow cast crap then GOOD! Someone needs to keep those shadow idiots in check.

@acl; did you see the first cast of the RHS revival? Outside of Lea Delaria, whom I normally love, it was one of the most fun nights at the theatre I've ever had. Easily the best stage production of Rocky I've seen and getting to "discover" raul in his first broadway role was also a big treat. I really thought they did an overall great job on it from start to finish.
However, opinion is just that :)

@Borstal: SO AGREE! 87 Cabaret was like a Museum piece. I enjoyed getting to see Joel Grey in the role but that was it. A total stuffed animal. Including the fake teeth.

Stunt casting you'd LOVE to see

Easy. John Goodman as Edna. Also Edward Norton in Streetcar. And it's technically not stunt at all but I think Norbert should play Bobby in Company.
