Mentioning again that Rachel is doing the The Last Five Years in London in March at a time she would need to be in NYC rehearsing to do Evita if it was coming in next April.

Unless they can find a teleporter to get her back and forth between Lon

Im not sure it being about a rich woman is the reason its not caught on, or certainly not one of the main ones. There doesnt seem to be a general lack of interest from the general public in the lives of the rich and glamorous. TV shows focused on rich people still do very well (Selling Sunset, Kardashians etc).

I just dont think this particular story is particularly interesting, regardless of rich or poor and most people wont have heard of Jackie  Theres also no big '

The Jonathan Bailey idea is stellar. Maybe he doesn't want to be a replacement given that he's at the height of fame right now...but he would perform the hell out of this. He's

Actually there were plenty who didnt think it was fantastic in London. Theres just no point in saying it as you just get people shouting back at you.Same as when you dared say anything critical about Sunset."

Not buying this.

1) Even Sunset got it's share of naysaying posts here.

2) And Gypsy got comments that ranged from pro to con to in between.

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 consta

I disagree that the 25th is awful. Theres some dodgy casting (Nick Jonas, Alfie Boe, Matt Lucas) but you also have Lea, Ramin, Norm, Sam who help make up for it. The scale of the venue gives it an epic feel.

But the 10th anniversary at the albert hall is definitely far superior with no weak links.

Id avoid the most recent 'staged concert' that was filmed in 2019. All four leads were really really poor. The supporting cast are good, but not outstanding (apart fr

This has to be one of the most anti climatic announcements in quite a while. This was hyped up as if it was going to be some A list star.

I had to look him up as I didnt know him by name. If you look at all the fan guessing online its much more starry guesses.

Also they said it wouldn't be revealed until he stepped on the red carpet. I wonder if theyve announced because the speculation had got out of control and they knew there was going to be an air of disappointment&n

I know people like to blame Trump for it all, and im not saying it isnt an issue. But there are other factors. The US has got so expensive to visit now, and that was happening during Bidens time too. 

Also interestingly I was speaking to a friend of mine in his late 20s and he and his friends have no real interest in the US travel in general. They look much more towards Asia, Australia and South America. When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s American culture was everywhere

But the upside to coming in this season would be specific theatre availability (which they'll need for the balcony, they can't be as flexible) and riding the Sunset Tony success and potential hype from London if it continues. The viral nature of the balcony will have significantly dimmed in two years too, as all social media stuff does. The balcony is a bigger viral moment than the Sunset walk ever was.

Being so similar to Sunset it's not going to seem as fresh and ori
