Future Mama Rose Possibilities? Feb 6

I've recently been thinking about Laura Bell Bundy playing Rose at some point considering she herself was a Baby June-esque child.

Showface said: "So-- how does Jlo...sound?
I have no doubt she's probably serving for most of the movie, especially in the dance department. She definitely has a unique star quality, but I'm particularly curious about how she sounds on the title song.
It definitely seems like the type of song she would have the courage to attempt (she's been covering Barbra Streisand on various occasions for the past decade), but does it actually land?"

CATSNYrevival said: "If we're talking about songs like "Bluebloods,""I Draw the Line" and the endless reprises of "Over the Wall" being cut I'm not going to be too distressed. If we're talking about songs like "Dear One," "You Could Never Shame Me" or "Anything For Him"getting cut then I don't understand the point of even making this film."
Hypothetically, you would be very disappointed

Universal's WICKED Film - News & Discussion Thread Dec 10
2024, 05:05:13 PM
Finally caught Emilia Perez last night and I'm dumbfounded that they're pushing for Zoe Saldana to be considered in the supporting categories. She is the clear protagonist of the film, has the most screen time, and is the character around which the entire film is based. If anything, Saldana being considered as supporting lends a ton more legitimacy to Ariana as Glinda being supporting because (while I agree Ariana is very much a lead in this film) she is very much not the protago

There is so much I adore in Bob Merrill's score for Holly Golightly/Breakfast at Tiffany's. Very thankful to have the comprehensive recording with Faith Prince, but I'm bummed that there was never a professional recording with Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain. I'm also holding out hope for a Broadway mounting (or any professional English-translated production) of Kristina by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. I really do believe it's their masterpiece and the culmination of the

I saw Wicked in approx. 2004/2005 and then didn't revisit it until a friend won the lottery in 2019 and took me on a date to the theater (somewhere in those years I read the novel). I was quite shocked at how political the show is (reminding me of how much the novel is about American politics), and how it's very much a piece of theatre born out out of reaction to the Bush administration. It sounds absolutely insane (I know), but I remember walking out of the Gershwin and saying something like "A

What is the worst production you have ever seen on Broadway? What is the worst show? May 23
2024, 01:58:20 PM
American Psycho is the only show I regret spending money on. The only exciting moment was the end of the first act when blood splattered on the vinyl curtain. Other than that, totally abysmal. Sometimes when I need a laugh, I think of the moment where the set was covered in blood in Act II and they needed a way to get rid of it, so the solution was to have the ensemble on their hands and knees cleaning up the blood while singing the word "cleannnnnn..." repeatedly

1) I don't hate the new material, and there's not as much of it as people seem to have suggested. It's mostly very rhythmic ("Workin'" and "Agoo" are basically just percussion), which I think meshes well with how they've re-orchestrated much of the pre-existing material. It also doesn't sounds much more modern/out-of-place than the stage songs to me. "Keep It Movi

JP2 said: "TaffyDavenport said: "Too Beautiful for Words" is listed on the soundtrack, and, regardless, "Miss Celie's Blues" wouldn't replace it anyway. It would replace "Push Da Button," if anything, but it hasn't, since both are in the film."
Lyrically, "Miss Celie's Blues" does the same thing narratively that "Too Beautiful For Words" does in the musical."
