Re: Jessica Dickey’s “The Amish Project” with Jonathan Groff will play the Broadhurst.
This feels like a real test of Groffs star power. Not singing, and no other stars or name recognition in the subject of the show.

Re: Nicholas Hytner to direct HISTORY BOYS revival on West End
devonian.t said: "I agree. It always astonished me that audiences condoned it."But they don't all condone it? There is a lot of truth in the play, and from experience i find it very relatable and realistic. Just because some people dont like it doesnt mean the subject matter should be swept under the rug. Also not every victim is traumatised by it and can laugh it off like the boys do, its a different viewpoint. Some may not like it, but it doesnt invalidate it as a truth. I also dont think H...

I know Sundays a musicalWas Death Note always planned? I thought it was a relatively last minute return booking

Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
As much as id like Ragtime to come to London, I struggle to see it selling in any commercial venue. The Barbican would be ideal as it has a built in customer base but i dont think it has any gaps. The Palladiums summer show is yet to be announced, although thats rumoured to be Cats.
Glenn Close gives a 'Sunset Boulevard' movie update
I really hope not. Nicole is not a great actress and it would really show up on film. Jamie Lloyds version is a very specific beast, moulded around her and her skillset, and it worked for what he wanted. But Nicole in a traditional movie version where every aspect of acting will be visible, no thanks
Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
Theres talk that Hay Fever may transfer from the West End with Christine Baranski. I recently saw it, the play is something of nothing but Christine returning to the stage (ok making her debut in Londons case) is the big draw
Glenn Close gives a 'Sunset Boulevard' movie update
Its a shame as she would have been great, but the real missed opportunity was a pro shot of when she first did it on broadway.For a movie I always wanted Catherine Zeta Jones and Jake Gyllenhaal
Re: Disney will launch North American tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 2025, Broadway stop next?
Yeah I agree, I dont think the cruise version is that bad considering its on a cruise ship and actually does some things better than the current touring version
Re: Disney will launch North American tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 2025, Broadway stop next?
Yes I agree, and like their newer movies they seem to sanitise the villains and remove an trace of even a little danger or darkness
Re: Disney will launch North American tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 2025, Broadway stop next?
I agree, I felt similar when I saw it in the UK. The stage also looked so empty. I also didn't like many of the changes like cutting some songs and the performative stuff like getting rid of Belles apron and giving her glasses. The glasses could have worked but getting rid of them when it's time for her to be 'pretty' is just such an outdated stereotype and reinforced how performative it was.

Re: Anthony Mackie in Macbeth — Broadway Spring 2027
Kad said: "I wonder how much of a box office draw he is. He strikes me as that sort of celebrity who is recognizable but not necessarily someone with a devoted following, sort of like we saw last season with Adrian Brody." Agreed and outside Marvel none of his movies have been steller successes, and even his Marvel movie was at the lower end of Marvel box office.The new Avengers movie hype may help it though
Re: Anthony Mackie in Macbeth — Broadway Spring 2027
I hope he has more charisma and presence on stage than he does on film.
Re: early Tony award predictions 2027
If an actress comes through with a very strong performance in a musical that is actually well acted then Rachel could lose out. Rachel gives a great performance, but its not what I would call an amazing acting performance.its more like an amazing concert performance. Great vocals but theres not a lot of depth or range there.I also suspect the reaction to Evita might be more muted. Especially as Pattis performance seems more sacred over there.Likewise Im not sure how Paddington is going to go ...

Re: Why is Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf so popular?
I kind of agree, I didnt quite get the fuss on the play alone when I saw it years ago with Kathleen Turner. But I think what it does do is give two actors two really juicy parts and can be a thrilling showcase with the right people at the top of their game in the roles.
Re: Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine to lead WANTED at the James Earl Jones this fall
It's such an odd choice of photo. It's not flattering of either actress, and its more like a photo of two insta wannabe influencers on a night out, or some sort of fashion brand marketing shot.No sense of the story or character, or even theme of the show. Agree that some sort of play on a wanted poster would have been a good start.
