I’m kind of surprised people weren’t more upset with the decision for a cis female to assume the role. I was so excited when talk of JCM stepping in was swirling. I honestly have no desire to see a cis woman in the role - it would be like Glenn Close playing a Charles Busch role. Could she do it and do it well? A

The Distinctive Baritone said: "CATSNYrevival said: "I used to enjoy Mickey-Jo's videos but lost interest when he switched to calling himself a professional theatre critic. I consider him more of a social media theatrepundit."
I was also confused by this. His reviews are certainly professional quality, but "professional" means paid, and...who is paying him?"
I assumed that meant he wrote reviews for some publication in addi

Mickey Jo is such a positive critic and he found a lot of good in the show, particularly Vanessa, but him saying it's better than Pretty Woman doesn't inspire confidence.

Bernadette Peters video recording of her studio "Rose's Turn" Dec 5
2024, 05:35:15 PM
I saw a boot of Tyne and she definitely sounded better than the recording made when she was ill. Even so, she is a lesser singer than any of the other Broadway Roses; Tyne is intelligent but simply wasn't born with the same quality equipment as the other ladies.

And Glengarry might get PPD now until next season."
I know Motive has been linked to Longacre but could Glengarry not go there ?
I know Belasco has been pinged to Outlaw but it seems that may be in flux as well."
I'm guessing Motive and Outlaw open next season and Glengarry gets Longacre or

Probability of a PIPPIN movie musical, post-WICKED success? Dec 2
2024, 02:26:21 PM
joevitus said: "If I had to pick a favorite Schwartz show, it would likely be Pippin, but there are few shows that I think pose as many insurmountable obstacles as this onedoes in transferring material from stage to screen. Agree that it is a show very much of its era--I don't see a contemporary mass audience connecting with it now.
For all its flaws, the William Katt/Ben Vereen taping is an adequate enough capture for anyone who needs some kind of filmed version.

Presumably he's had some health struggle but it isn't publicly known. He missed a few months but returned about a month or so ago. I would think those months are why the percentage is low, not that he misses several days each week.

Maybe not stunt casting, but definitely gimmick casting."
No, gimmick casting would be if Lorna played a stripper in Gypsy.

People are concerned if we just have four genderless categories that we will end up with years where all four winners are men, or 3/4 of them.
