Richard Simmons "interactive work out musical"?
May 15
2024, 03:56:10 PM
Given how he openly derided the idea of Pauly Shore playing him in a movie, I guess this could be seen as Simmons finding a way to take control over his own image again.
But maybe I'm just being too optimistic.

Broadway must ditch musical film adaptations for original stories

Kad said: "Lest we forget: Little Shop is adapted from an extremely low-budget B movie that was shot in a few days."
It's actually a really good movie, though. Cheap as hell to be sure, but it's also really funny and weird. It plays like a comedic episode of The Outer Limits.
RIP Roger Corman

How many times have you gotten out of a movie and thought "the set-up is interesting, but I wish they'd done a better job at it". Do a better job of it... on a stage with songs.Bridges of Madison Countyis a dumb schmaltzy romance movie, and its musical has one of the greatest scores of the 21st century.Newsieswon the Razzie for Worst Song, and i

That said, I don't think anyone would complain if Laurents' book forWest Side Storygot some light retouching.
I'm a little bit surprised there hasn't been an option available to license a stage version based on Tony Kushner's screenplay.

FLarnhill said: "So many self-righteous people here who can't learn to separate the art from the artists and love to make others pay for their mistakes for their entire lives.
I hope you're all happy."
Years of abusive behavior is not a "mistake" and yes, I am happy that abusers are beginning to face a reckoning rather than people just accepting it. If someone like Rudin wants the public and industry to accept him back,

George Clooney is coming to Broadway.

Loved that movie, and it makes sense to adapt it to the stage.
A little curious that Clooney is playing Murrow this time around, but I suppose a star of his caliber wouldn't be in a supporting role on Broadway like his Fred Friendly was in the film.

Most of the recent proshots that have been released (Waitress, Prince of Egypt, Titanic, etc) are either on physical media or have a release forthcoming, so I don't see why this one wouldn't. The only recent ones I can think of that are still exclusive to streaming are Diana and Mr

that reminds me a bit of my reaction to the production of Great Comet I saw last month. The story is so complicated with so many moving parts that I was almost confused at times, but the music and cast were so engaging that I couldn't help but get swept up in it all

Was he actually offered Vanya? Because Downey feels more like an Astrov to me.

He's really on a comeback run between Oppenheimer (an exceptional performance so unlike his other roles), Park Chan-Wook's The Sympathizer on HBO, and now this...much different than where he left us before the pandemic (Dr. Dolittle)."
Now he needs to get an audiobook or something and then Downey could speedrun the EGOT.
