MasterThespian 2 said: "This West End production looks extremelyinteresting. There was a bit of buzz that it might be coming to Broadway. Anyone hearing rumors they care to share? Thanks."
I would say it’s extremely likely. Also, Cate Blanchett already bought the film rights as a producer which makes me very curious.

MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway Casting Thread Apr 8
2024, 05:42:46 PM
Hailee Kaleem Wright from Six has been announced as the new Satine alternate, taking over from Oyoyo Joi.
There is a rumor going around that Oyoyo Joi will be announced soon as Broadway’s next Juliet in & Juliet (still a rumor). Would love to see her either as lead Satine or as Juliet, she’s unbelievably talented.
That aside, Hailee will be a fantastic Satine and I’m so excited for her continued success on BWAY.

The movie musical is set in Virginia Beach in 1977. It will reportedly draw inspiration from Williams' childhood when he grew up in the city's Atlantic Apartments."
I know she wouldn’t be a conventional choice, but I would love to see her take in Diana in the rumored A24 adaptation of Next to Normal (this was rumored in Deuxmoi on Reddit)

Hedwig Fan Casting Mar 14
2024, 09:52:23 PM
BeingAlive44Ever said: "Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a show that is basically a one man show with a very involved band. Not to discredit the band, they're integral to the show, especially Yitzhak, who gets a handful of lines and, depending on the revision, gets to sing one of the most important songs. Hedwig, though, sings 12 entire songs that are essentially solos, and often very demanding solos with a very high tessitura and often dense phrases both musically and lyrically. Fac

He closed it, thought nothing of it and went about his shift.

& JULIET Replacement Casting Mar 5

PipingHotPiccolo said: "this made me think of one of the two SIX alternates that left tonight without jobs lined up, but neither make a ton of sense... maybe one of the Satines..."
Going off of this, Satine standby Oyoyo Joi seems to be the perfect fit for Juliet. and back to Six, Kristina Leopold made quite an impression, and I could see her being cast as well.

Billie Eilish wants to write a musical Feb 5

CurtisTaylorJr2 said: "It would sell tickets based on her fan base showing up, but that doesn't necessarily mean it would be good. A bunch of bland, moody songs from people who most likely would think they could sweep in and become better than Rodgers and Hammerstein are not my idea of a good time. Her and her brother give me pretentious writer vibes."
She’s a great writer, and her and her brother create great sounds together. I don’t know who pissed

seaweedjstubbs said: "Fantasia was indeed fantastic in the film. But if anyone robbed her of an Oscar nomination, it was the film itself. I don’t know whose decision it was to cut Celie and Shug’s fight that precedes “I’m Here” in the stage musical, but it was the worst decision they could’ve made for the movie. It robs “I’m Here” of all its power. The direction of the song didn’t do Fantasia any favors either. They just did

Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film Dec 7
2023, 12:45:46 AM
This is probably the best move she could make career wise. She was brilliant in Hustlers, and it was about a dancer. This role is mostly dance, and I think it’ll be a high point for her acting career.
That being said…
Bill Condon doesn’t inspire much confidence. If Rob Marshall could recreate the magic of Chicago, I would have preferred him.
