BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical - Pre-Broadway Chi  Dec 7 2023, 07:22:57 PM

 Easier to fix a flawed book when the rest of the show is nearly perfect, than to have to scrap  almost  everything  just to have Jerry come in and do it right (looking at you, Devil Wears Prada). By the way, in my opinion the score for Boop! is far superior to DWP. And I have a feeling Elton won’t be to invested in fixing that.

I am fairly certain it would have locks for Rogers, Mitchell, and Foster/Birkenhead. Probably costumes, as well.

Loved seeing Faith, but yes, the storyline and songs would not be missed.

No, and I have to believe the wig/costume designers have it out against her. In fact, I believe Jerry Mitchell cast Prince because he hates her, it is such a thankless role. I love faith prince and so desperately want to see her back on broadway, but this is not it. Very akin to how wasted Jason Danieley was in pretty woman.

Have they changed Faith’s costume and wig yet? 


BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical - Pre-Broadway Chi  Dec 1 2023, 11:47:40 AM

I don't believe the decision to make the changes was just decided since the first preview. I understand they were planned from the beginning and they have been working on them for some time, but did not have time to implement them prior to the first preview. 

I saw the show again and feel it is in great shape, but could use some tweaks. I hope to return when the changes have gone in. It really is a fun show and believe it will be a hit.

I was skeptical going in, but HOLY TOLEDO! This is one star making turn.

Remember when you first saw Sutton in TMM? Well, Jasmine Amy Rogers is a phenomenon.

The entire cast is so solid, both featured and ensemble. I wish the program was more specific with some of the cast. The Director and his assistant are both very fun and featured, both with lovely voices yet listed as ensemble. They both deserve credit, especially since they sing one of the more beautiful songs in the show.


NY City Center Encores 2024 season: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Sutton Foster (adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino), JELLY'S LAST JAM, and TITANIC  Oct 26 2023, 06:35:27 PM

Has Ann Harada been mentioned for Aggravain? She would kill it and be a fantastic foil to Sutton, just physically it would be a hoot. I know she is doing Bartleby in San Diego, so don’t know about the timing…


The Who's Tommy @ The Goodman  Jun 23 2023, 03:33:51 PM

Well, I was a bit harsh suggesting this show should never be produced again, so I take that back. You are all correct that I have no right to suggest such a thing and I apologize. Censorship is not the answer. 

I admit I was very riled up when I wrote my initial post, obviously, so forgive me. I do get passionate about things and the child rape, physical abuse, child exploitation, etc, are some of those things. 

I still stand by my take on the show and the production,


The Who's Tommy @ The Goodman  Jun 22 2023, 12:24:46 AM

Holy Mother of God, this show should never be produced again. 

 

I have “known” Tommy for most of my life, from album, film, and original production and OBCR and have enjoyed it for what it is. But the years are not kind to this piece. 

 

Child sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual exploitation, exposing a TEN YEAR OLD CHILD to prostitution  and “acid”, excessive invasive medical exams on a CHILD WHO OBV

Correct, that's Monday 5/22 performance. Like I mentioned, most tickets get sold the day of the performance. It's not Sweeney Todd/Wicked/The Lion King which are universally known and sell in advance LOL

Oh, sorry, was looking at the wrong dates.  Oops! (IDIA)

Wow, those Ticketmaster screenshots look VERY different than the ones I am seeing. Wonder why. Papering, maybe?

Where are the throngs of BS fans? It doesn't appear to be selling that well on Telecharge.

I actually thought the lyrics were stronger than the music here. Wittman was on top of his game.

I agree. The music is really a poor pastiche, enjoyable, but not anything too original. We have heard these songs before. 

Really surprised no Groban or Platt.

Theatre queens? Seriously still using this term? 


AEA May Strike National Tours April 13  Apr 7 2023, 03:49:50 PM

How would the ticket holders for cancelled shows be handled? Does anyone know? Refunds? I am sure it might be different for each location, but was curious as to how the venues would deal with a blow like this. 


AEA May Strike National Tours April 13  Apr 4 2023, 09:28:45 AM

Is there any chance this will spread to non-touring companies such as other Equity houses or even Broadway? Equity has always been very loyal and supportive of all its members.

 I also heard some songs have been replaced so I could totally see Britney's latest hit 'Hold Me Closer' being added to the show. Could it be Esmeralda involved in 'Hold me closer tiny dancer' lyrics? We'll see"

Not likely, as it is an Elton John song and that would probably cost a fortune.

And that’s a GOOD thing?
