Profile for Amos Hart2

I'm sure there are those who will disagree, or make the usual jokes, but Faye Dunaway was born to play Mary.

So now he’s not performing any songs from the show that made him famous? Has he denounced the show now that he was ridiculed for the film?


I guess he’s a serious pop star now."

It could be an issue of royalties.  Performers have to pay royalties on songs they perform live.  (Paul McCartney talked about having to pay to perform songs that he wrote but no longer owns.). It's possible that the producers of DEH upped the asking price because didn't want Platt to perform the songs in concert while the show was still running on Broadway and during the show's national tour out of concern that Platt's tour could cut into ticket sales.  ("Hear the original Evan Hansen sing the songs from DEAR EVAN HANSEN!"

Also, if Platt is hoping to establish himself as a recording artist and live performer, it makes sense that he would want to focus on new material to establish that he is Ben Platt and not "Evan Hansen".  Otherwise, he would run the risk of turning into a nostalgia act, hitting the road every few years to trot out the DEH songs.

Hmmm.....

In other news, her face was scrubbed from all things Funny Girl at exactly midnight last night. Merch, website, etc.

"

She's probably still in the decks of playing cards...

Pure speculation on my part, but I suspect that, at this point, Beanie's plan is to stay under the radar, finish her run, and move on to her next project.

Papa Denny Doherty wrote a musical about Cass Elliot.  It played Off-Off-Broadway years ago -- in the 1990s, maybe?  Wish I had seen it...

By the way, is "biomusical" a relatively new term?  It makes me think of biology rather than biography, and leads me to imagine the opening of MENDEL!, the new biomusical starring Kelsey Grammer.

Much can be read into Jane's early departure, but on the other hand, it makes sense to have the two replacements debut on the same night.

That drawing of Jane Lynch is horrible.  It reminds me of a comic book character from the 1970s -- The Joker's Daughter.  Change the hair color to green and she could wreak havoc in Gotham City.

And in case you need convincing...

I'm curious about that, too.  I imagine that not being nominated can hurt a show in terms of the show missing out on the Tony Awards program as a great promotional platform, but I wonder how much the nominations or lack thereof impact a more casual theatergoer's decision whether or not to see a certain show.
