That evil warthog will do as he pleases and no one in DC will stop him."This is the part that makes me angriest. It's one thing that we ended up with this senile, infantile, narcissist turd as President. It's another thing that no one is doing anything about it. The Republicans in Congress, the Supreme Court, the military, etc. We've watched him do incalculable damage, not just to the U.S. but to th...

All of DT's appointed Board members are sycophants. It's just so disgusting.

Yes, when "The Lion King" first came to Los Angeles, it played at The Pantages for 2 years!

Just have to wait until it arrives at my house.That's based on pre-orders not actual sales. That's why you state you saw this mentioned last week or so when the CD was slated for release on Sept 4 - today.Think about it, how can they have run out last week or so on an item that is released today?

When it was announced that the cast recording of the revival of "Chess" was being released on 9/4, I immediately pre-ordered it on Amazon. This morning when I was about to check my Amazon account on today's delivery status, I received an email from Amazon saying that there was a delay and it is now scheduled for delivery on September 30th. Did anyone else order it on Amazon? Any delays on your end, too? Thanks.

Sounds as if we are splitting hairs here. I never said Pauline Kael cared for the movie. I remember she specifically adored Dolly in the film. Thanks for the link of those films, John Adams. It's a very interesting list.

In the film version, the character is renamed Dulcie Mae.

And Engel provided a handy version of the restored cut pointing out himself in it. But I've wondered who the blond playing the manager character/principal (?) vocalist is, among others and haven't been able to figure it out. Most of them don't have photos on IMBD (I'm assuming

MemorableUserName said: "That's not an issue in the musical. It's a consequence of the movie's focus on Burt and Dolly, and the invention of the Ed Earl-Mona relationship, which doesn't exist in the musical. Anything related to the girls other than Hard Candy Christmas was basically erased. In the musical, at least two of the Chicken Ranch girls have characters and actual names (in the movie none of them do; they're all credited as the Chicken Ranch Girls), and they have several numbers that ...

kdogg36 said: "The one thing that struck me about the movie when I saw it recently is how little agency the sex workers are given in the story. All the other main characters talk about them constantly and meet to decide their fate, andthey're basically portrayed as pawns in other people's games. (Compare this to Pretty Woman,which didn't come out that much later and which, whatever else you might think about it, shows us a sex worker who's very much in control of her own life.)I'm not saying ...

George in DC said: "I loved this show when I first saw it mainly because of Tommy Tune's brilliant staging. It's just a sweet little show with a lot of heart.The movie ruined it. There is a reason why the stage show was a hit a the movie a complete flop. They absolutely gutted the score. Also, having the two leads become romantically linked changed the dynamics. It didn't help that Burt Reynolds was DREADFUL! The only time the movie becomes alive is during Charles Durning brief but amazing tu...

But the beauty of the theatre, for me, is that it can transport you to different places, cultures and times and can be thoroughly enjoyed if one is not familiar with those times and does a bit of research before seein
