Hanks' THIS WORLD OF TOMORROW at The Shed Previews
 Oct 30 2025, 04:50:35 PM

Shows produced at The Shed don't tend to transfer to Broadway. It seems to be viewed as an alternative rather than a gateway.

Purple Rain Marquee is Up - Who is in it?
 Oct 27 2025, 03:01:20 PM

Response from one of the more prominent community theatre directors from my area:

I enjoyed parts of it.  It’s definitely in need of more “trimming”.  The cast was strong. The guy who played Prince was very good as was the guy who played Morris Day.  I honestly think the direction wasn’t very strong.  It was very “busy”…the blocking didn’t do a good job focusing where the action was happening.  Also the sourc


Kevin's Minnesota Theatre Adventures - TUESDAYS WITH MORRIS and MISERY
 Oct 26 2025, 10:30:38 PM

I've decided to move my long-form theatre review writing to a blog where my first two reviews were for a very funny community theatre production of DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS and the Guthrie's production of PRIMARY TRUST, a very funny and deeply poignant play that could serve as an interesting companion piece to its fellow Pulitzer winner Harvey.

The production of The War of the Worlds I'm involved in opens this week, and I also hope to see a local production of 10 November and also travel to Morris to see the premiere of Terminator: the Musical at the U of M down there. I've also secured my ticket to Purple Rain - I'll be seeing it November 15!

ALW Hints at a new PHANTOM Film
 Oct 23 2025, 09:08:42 AM

I'd love to see Guillermo Del Toro take on The Phantom of the Opera, and a lot of his movies feel like they're a half of a step away from being musicals anyway (tell me you can't imagine a musical stage adaptation of The Shape of WaterPan's Labyrinth, or Crimson Peak), but somehow if GDT were to take on the material, I'd prefer he do it from the ground up his o

ElephantLoveMedley said: "Leave it to these boards to be a reliable source of negativity... almost everyWickedmovie fan I know is extremely pleased with Domingo's casting."

Up until an hour or so ago I couldn't imagine seeing anyone hearing Colman Domingo had been cast in a key supporting role in a movie and then saying "well, that's a disappointment".

The show's still in previews. Official opening night is November 5 - you can probably expect official reviews to be posted around then.


Purple Rain Marquee is Up - Who is in it?

violetsandroses said: "Live camera filming? For a Prince musical? Should we expect every big-budget new musical now to have camera work?"

I was actually thinking the other day about how much the movie relied on its MTV-style editing to keep the energy up and how the stage adaptation would work without it. Maybe the live filming has something to do with that.
