Is it anything like 'Nothing On'?

As soon as I learned Musk let Alex Jones back on Twitter I couldn't get off it fast enough. I honestly don't know anyone would want to share that platform with that thing. 

Absolutely Dorian Gray and Operation Mincemeat (big fan of the old movie 'The Man Who Never Was' with Clifton Webb).. 

I'm also surprised that there are no women involved in readings about love. On Broadway, yet. 

I wouldn't be surprised if 'Left AT Tenth' is the surprise sleeper hit of the decade. 600K isn't bad for such a modest production. As for Tammy Faye isn't that somewhat similar to the Aimee Semple McPherson musical which had some big guns promoting  it (Kathy Lee certainly). If that wasn't successful I don't see how Tammy Faye could do better.

Just one of these actors - Debra certainly - would be enough to interest me in this play. Two or three of them working together in any dynamic story would make it a must-see. But so many...well, sometimes more can be less. 

When I pass I'm afraid they'll just unscrew 6 bulbs. 

I read Delia's book 'Hanging Up' some years ago and she is no slouch as a writer. (The movie didn't translate) This play will have my highest attention. 

I enjoyed the movies but mostly because the quirky comedy of Chevy matched the story and writing to a tee. The rest of the cast - Beverly particularly - also a perfect fit. How they can reclaim that on stage with different actors would seem to be impossible. Except for the 'vacation' premise they're starting from zero. 

'Highland Guy": First poster to be concerned for Mia's well being and wishing her well. I'll be number 2. 

When Groundhog Day was adapted as a musical someone said no one should have tried to put a flawless movie on stage and that's why it failed.  Might be even more true with Dr. Strangelove.

Fran Drescher has smarts and cojones! That's what you need to run a Union. Brooke Shields...not optimistic but good luck to her. 

As artists both would be invaluable to any production, but commercially problematic.

I enjoyed the movie on the basis of its wit and the cast. But something the producers may not have considered is how much of the ticket buying general public would be interested in the fashion industry? For most, I think, it would spell dullsville.

I think the marquee name as shown is good. It's simple and straightforward. If there are to be flourishes they should be reserved for the title of the show playing. 

A 'real' casino, similar to the casino palaces in AC, Vegas or Monaco would require taking down an entire block and I don't see that happening in Times Square. Otherwise it will just be a glorified bingo hall similar to Resorts World in Queens. (Which is just an extension of the NY Lottery with video slots) So forget it! 

If the songs are catchy and the witty clips in the trailer can be melded into an engaging story with a beginning, middle and end (not detectable yet) it can be very successful.

It hurts my head remembering how Gigi - The Musical - was 'revised' a few years back for 'modern' audiences. Better Mame be left alone and untouched at least for the present.
