Re: Broadway-Bound HOUDINI - A Magical Musical
Yeah agree, it looks cheesy based on that trailer with some very cringe acting. Bit of a disconnect between the visuals and audio Also that artwork is giving cheap AI

Avenue Q is brilliant, but is the original production basically so if you've seen it before then its not new.Rent and Hay Fever have had a mixed reaction and definitely not seen as the best stuff

I shouldn’t be shocked that this board is finding new, exciting things to get bent out of shape about, but this is a new one.If you want to visit one of the general Broadway merch stores, Theatre Circle is still very much alive and well on 44th Street. Jamie Lloyd isn’t stopping you." Nobody said he was. People are just a bit perplexed over this decisio...

Re: Wicked sent out a mailer
I see ads on YouTube for shows all the time, especially the big successful ones so not sure thats anything of note.
Re: Mona Lisa - the new Lloyd Webber to Open in London Next Fall
Yeah thats right, and even then the rumour is they had a falling out of some sort and Jamie left The Illusionist, and also that that dhow likely wont happen now and Mona Lisa is the one being fast tracked to the stage.

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...

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
