Re: early Tony award predictions 2027

Oct 1, 2026 — 3:11:44 PM

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.

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.

Shes rearranged her concerts for early February so she wouldn't do that if she was replacing in Oh Mary mid January. Also liking social media post

Re: Kristin Chenoweth cast in new season of (OG) The Traitors

Sep 18, 2026 — 2:24:00 PM

It's also a great way to make herself relevant, especially to younger and wider audiences which in turn helps her box office power. Especially after her recent flop.Thats if she comes across well and people like her of course

Mr. Wormwood said: "TheQuibbler said: "I’m not sure how much blockbuster business a 23 year old show is expected to do. Like others have said, I’m sure it can have a nice run for a bit longer coasting in the mid-range of grosses."Well, The Lion King is still doing blockbuster business at almost 30 years. I do think it's tied to the movie but not just because of the way things went for the second movie but also a course correction for how popular it was leading up to and after the first movie....

Cynthia Erivo to Star in ‘Prima Facie,’ Film Adaptation

Sep 14, 2026 — 4:42:29 PM

inception said: "I think Ms Erivo has some bad management. I think it's a big mistake to focus on films so much - especially ones that are notmusicals. If she had done a theatre concert tour instead to follow up Wicked I think that would have benefitted her career more, because she's frigging amazing live. That could have built her fan base more, and then she might get offers for bigger films. She needs to do some hit nutty comedy like Liza did with the Arthur films."Thats not what she wants ...

I dont see how the wizard could be considering he's meant to be Elphabas father. Plus I think it would lesson Morribles impact and the dynamic between them.

Some great songs and dancing, but I've never really enjoyed the piece as a whole on stage or film.

TheatreBoard UK site architecture

Sep 4, 2026 — 12:12:18 PM

I do think the separate sections for seating advice etc is a good change, but I still find Theatreboard in general a bit too dictatorial still, especially if anyone dares create more than one thread per show. It can be hard to find the info and discussion you want as its all mixed up in one thread.Plus you have a handful of members who dominate and heaven forbid you present an opposite opinion that differs from those key members.No forum is perfect but I do quite like that broadwayworld has m...

She is fully formed Eva Peron from first to last, striking pop diva power poses and looking relentlessly icy and in control except for "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" (and it's her portrayal throughout the rest of ...
