I used to have a clipping if a great photo of Taylor screaming at a camera, stuck in a crowd outside the theatre during the run, but I can't find it online."

I'm pretty sure it's for people who like good plays. I'm sure many people who are attending Stereophonic aren't fans of/don't know Fleetwood Mac. Gypsy isn't being

Phillyguy said: "I'm looking at the seat map for multiple dates during the preview and it seems that all the front orchestra seats are unavailable. Do you think they are also sold out or if some are held back to be released later?

Trying to decide if I need to pull the trigger on the remaining seats or wait."

I don't know about this production in particular, but as a rule, these days the best seats are withheld until close to the performance date.

This is a thoughtful piece that some seem to be misunderstanding, based on the responses I've seen to it around the internet. He's simply pointing out the challenges that crop up with "color conscious" casting versus "color blind" casting. In the latter, anyone can play anyone. In the former, questions of "is this believeable?" tend to rear their heads. He makes a strong case for asking if the story of this white family could have happened to a Black fami

Jordan Catalano said: "I’d been asking around and the last I heard is that they want to go with someone who isn’t a “name” but has some Broadway experience (along the Rachel Tucker route). Now that was over a month ago and as always things can change but I sort of enquiring at that point because I really got the impression it’lljustbe someone who will in no way detract from Nicole’s “star”, if that makes sense.

I've heard that's not happening anymore, so it will just be this production"

It’s still happening this season."

Kad said: "I’m also deeply confused by what you’re trying to imply. Before he was cast on Heartstopper, Locke was doing theater. It’s not a secret. Sweeney’s people knew about him because he’s the lead on an extremely popular show. All it needed was a single inquiry to gauge his interest and ability."

I think he's just wondering how a performer not known for musicals ended up in this. The general public doesn't know how things ge

TotallyEffed said: "Right, so she did an 18 month run on Broadway in a beast of a role and only missed one performance but she has no technique. Got it.


Congrats, Barbra!"

Barbra describes herself as lazy and admitted she hated doing Funny Girl and her run in that show is one of the only examples I've heard of (Brando in Streetcar and Kahn in Twentieth century being the other two) where a performer became notorious for phoning it in half the time

Jay Lerner-Z said: "She must have manifested it through the power of her mind, the "universe conspiring" to help her.

Not that it is not deserved. It is. She is a great actor, better on screen than on stage. Stephen Sondheim was not that impressed with her in Funny Girl, he said she was unable to act and sing well at the same time.

She has been in some dud movies but her own acting work has always been wonderful. I'm guessing this will mean a lot t

I think Hogan has given the best answer. In the mid-60s popular music and Broadway music diverged. Most people have very narrow taste in music. 

Another reason: around that same time you saw the rise of the singer/songwriter. To this day the expectation that a singer should be singing their own songs has only gotten stronger in the popular culture. How many times have you heard someone criticized ("she doesn't even write her own songs etc."). Our culture developed id
