I have always felt that Glinda's character arc is quite similar to Amneris' in Aida. Going from bubbly popular girl to a layered, hurt woman who is part of a love triangle (the 3rd wheel basically).
The title "The Girl in the Bubble" sounds it could be Glinda's 11 o'clock number with a similar essence to "I know the truth". Can't wait to listen to it!
When I watched it a few years back, I found it very hard to sit through. It looked nice but the audio didn't sound good to me, it really could have used some tweaking, also the post-processing of the voices. Many notes were off-key and it just sounded kind of rough and sloppy.
I wonder if they have made any improvements on this for the movie theatre release.

Why are you proposing something so highly unusual? Understudies almost never take over roles for months. That's not how it works. They are needed in their own tracks.

I embrace tolerance - and not only tolerance, but warm acceptance, even celebration- forpeople ofof every race, ethnicity, nationality, orientation, or gender identity (this isn't intended to be an exhaustive list). These are inherent qualities that have no bearing on a person's right to dignity and respect.
On the other hand, when it comes to non-inherent things like political
It's terrible. What's happening on the off-topic board is even more worrying. They can't wrap their minds around the fact that murder isn't a good answer to differences in opinion.
MemorableUserName said: "Pretty much confirming the show would have held onjust fine with the understudies carrying the show for two months until the star returns, and there was no need to stunt cast the leading actress's white boyfriend."
Why?
Letting an understudy take over a role for months is highly unusual.
They are needed in their own track.
So it's really strange and peculiar that you're suggesting they sho

The point of the story is that she changes from hooker/showbizz-star to cosplaying a supportive spouse to defy the prejudices people had about her.
Her public persona becomes the latter. It's about the change of her public persona, not about the difference be

I think the problem is that the director Jamie Lloyd (aside from not understanding the material and texts) lacks any form of class and maturity. The things that he thinks are “cool” are embarrassing to most adults. The constant street-style, taunting attitude of the whole en

The internet is full of reviews of people who didn't understand the story at all. When I went, I heard people expressing the same things at intermission and afterwards. They had no clue. Which is bad. The only people who understood the story were the ones that already knew the show or the movie. During the

Have you read the actual role description? The production team deliberately wanted this robot role to be able to be played by all ethnicities. And they have explained exactly why. Not 1 race "should" play the role. So please stop your blatant racism and apologize. Thank you.

The list is endless. And this is about percentages of work opportunities, not about vanity and role types, as we have discussed before. If you care about work opportunities there is another race you should be more worried about, as the skewed percentages have shown. But you clearly don't. There is even room for 90% asian cast shows next to that (which you should celebrate but you don't), and nobody complains about that. There's space for all of it. That's how op

Their intentions are the ultimate way of creating true equity/equality. This is the only universal path forward. They have explained why into great detail. Also, the discussion about equity/equality has be

I love Jacqui Scott. She really devoured that role night after night. Her "Don't cry for me Argentina" is the most beautiful version of any on-stage Evita out there in my opinion.
This single of "Rainbow High" sounds terrible. Which is a shame, it always sounded wonderful live.
Her vocals are too compressed and she is too close to the microphone, which makes it sound too direct. Too dry. It desperately needs reverb. And she is flat at times. And the orchestra is off at times, which also seems to be due to digital cuts made later on. I think they should take it offline as soon as possible and re-do it. This was a mistake.
In conclusion, let us respect, value and preserve these points, the intention and vision of the actual creators of MHE:
"We wrote a show about robots so we could engage more intimately with the most basic human questions of love and loss, creating the roles of Oliver and Claire to be avatars of these universal questions. They were meant to be products created by a global company, and so never bore Korean names, not even in the Korean version of the show.

We're allowed to have these conversations and not just have them shut down because "there's enough"."
You are aware of the fact that we have discussed all of this weeks ago? I used the notepad when we all were counting back then. There already was a general consensus about the numbers and percentages.
