I actually thought this was one of BWW's more fun-loving threads, but OK.

There was also an Italian version, I think, that had Sigourney Weaver as the Evil Queen and Gil Bellows as the hunky, shirtless head "dwarf".
There was also the wonderful silent film Blancanieves, which set the story in Spain.

ANYways...
I'm mixed on the trailer. I'm not sure how I feel about Snow White being some sort of upstart politician, which is what the trailer suggests. As for Zegler, she seems awfully....modern. This intense Snow isn't terribly convincing having a romp with playful forest animals.
As for conservatives getting up in arms about this, they can put on a happy face...some day their chintz will come:

Maybe this is being discussed in another thread, but the trailer came out today...doesn't look like the disaster everyone was prophesying, but still...I'm not sure. Thoughts?

GYPSY Previews - most important question Dec 3

Auggie27 said: "I can't believe people are fretting about this or any star not doing stage door protocols in previews. Or hell, any time. The lackof understanding about what it takes to get a behemoth of a show on its feet - and remain there, 8 times a week - is staggering, particularly on a theater board. No one is under obligation to greet the public en route from the dressing room to waiting transportation. Please open your minds and hearts to what this body and voice

Ivo van Hove's Angels in America Dec 3

As was mentioned he cut the final scene (he did get permission from Kushner.) His reasoning was pure Ivo van Hove--he said it offered a sense of unearned and even flat out false hope.

Honestly, I was never crazy about the epilogue.

Ariana and Cynthia to Wicked Broadway April Nov 30

I heard that Meryl Streep is in talks for Morrible along with Josh O'Connor as Fiyero and Liam Neeson as the Wizard.
Chappell Roan will understudy Ariana and Audra McDonald will understudy Elphaba.

Reliable sources say...that Cynthia Erivo and Shoshana Bean were spotted getting into a brief but vicious hair-pulling brawl at Henrietta Hudsons bar in trendy West Village, New York City.
Back to you, Maury...

MCC's 'SH!T. MEET. FAN.' Cast Announced Nov 29

Kad said: "Considering everyone involved, it’s wild how quickly this became a non-event."
Honestly, it was the assertively starry cast that signaled to me that this was not going to be very good--sometimes this just reeks of moneyed desperation. I guess this is what happens when you have two casting directors as your artistic directors. I wonder what everyone was paid...

Proven? Citations needed. "If/Then" flopped and the play "Skin Tight" at the Roundabout bombed. In the words of Janet Jackson, what have you done for me lately?"

Funny how TheOnlyOne2 and OharaFosseWolfe888 have the exact same writing style.
Anyways...there is a great musical to be made about a Black woman hustling her children through the early 20th century vaudeville circuit. Wolfe seems like the perfect person to foster that musical. Why aren't people writing star vehicles for Audra? The only one who did seems to be Michael John LaChiusa.

It's an early preview.
Audra is not a goddess. She has to work through an actor's process like anyone else.
It sounds like this is on par with Bette Midler in early Dolly previews. She, too, was working through process. Don't like it? Don't go to an early preview."
