The trailer is slick, but I think it just may be too late for Wicked.  All I can think of is when The School for Good and Evil came out all anyone could say is "we've seen this material", comparing it to Harry Potter.  The popular princess blonde, the school to learn magic, the villain origin story...it's just all been done and done and done.

Burrs is a blackface performer.  It's a part of the fabric of vaudeville--and therefore American--culture, whether we like it or not.  To cut it would be beyond cowardly.

 

I imagine he will.  He's Broadway royalty and the show was an underdog.  I don't think Sucks has a chance.

Very, very exciting. 

The only wild card is Sher, whose track record for fostering new material has been spotty.

I guess critics and audiences...didn't lem-picka this one.

EEE-YAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

The conformity of the era:  every unique filmmaker will have to sell out to the Mouse House or superhero franchises.

 

Sad.

I've been following Cole Escola for some years now.  Happy to see this happening.

So is this like...First Wives Club level of bad, or...?

And Broadway's depressingly tepid musical season trudges on...

I don't know about you but this is literally me when I see dishonest pull quotes:

You didn't love the show, but you're...I just can't.

It also doesn't do feminism any favors when you indulge in the childish assertion that half the population aren't qualified to review something let alone attaching patriarchy-poisoning to something that is generally and objectively regarded as a misfire.

I DEMAND GENITAL CHECKS AND THE FULL SEXUAL RESUME OF ANYONE REVIEWING THIS SHOW!!!

My...sounds like someone's been online a LOT.

How incredibly sad.  His angry/hilarious plays like Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You and Baby With the Bathwater were so ahead of their time.  When I first saw South Park, the first thing I thought was "This reminds me of Durang". 

Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxie, Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Depeche Mode...I think this could work. So why hasn't it been done?  Lets get on this, musical culture. 

Still no Juliet?

 

WE MUST RUSH TO DEFEND THE HONOR OF LITERARY GENIUS NICHOLAS SPARKS!!!
