i saw the show a few months ago and it was ....just ok. Agree that his voice is shot...it just was no longer pleasing to my ear if that makes sense.  I kinda thought he was swallowed up by the radio city stage, which was a surprise bc he is a really charismatic performer.  I loved his one man show on bway years ago.  Maybe he just does better in a more intimate setting.  IDK.  

I saw Cabaret with Lambert and Cravalho and really enjoyed it...but I remember walking around the theater thinking holy **** what is the daily cash burn rate of this show.  So much staff, so many pre show dancers and musicians...just tremendously expensive.

as with everything T, I fear that the show will devolve into all of the artists genuflecting before him, and less focus on the artists themselves.

apparently Trump will be "hosting" the show...oy

Yes -- anyone who is announced has already accepted

Its a bit on the nose but Adam Lambert would do a great Frank

 

i dont know if he would be interested. Years back he was approached re Hedwig and turned it down

please universe make this happen!!!  I think this production would be gorgeous in Radio City

Lambert is incredibly underrated (which is a funny thing to say about a guy who has been fronting Queen for a decade).  He is an amazing and charismatic live vocalist.  I hope there is more theater in his future.

Same..  I would love for them to bring this to Radio City for a week.  It would look and sound gorgeous there.

Stamos is a pro. He probably already knows most of the score.  He will do fine.

Rumor that John Stamos is taking over.  

City of Angels would be a great choice for encores....I love that show...saw it twice during bway run, bought the cast album...i've always wondered why it has never been revived....but it lends itself well to an Encores treatment imo

good choice....he will be great...I read somewhere that he has wanted to do this role for a long time

My mother was obsessed with him.  He was always her favorite, had all his albums.  When we were kids we would tease her for her hard crush on him.  Anyway, as an adult I started taking her to see him whenever he performed in NYC.  And he was always fantastic.  I understood the crush .....what a voice.  what a career.  he kept performing as long as he possibly could. well done, sir.

I enjoyed this.  It is hard to believe that Linda Lavin was 87 and had cancer when filming this.  She looked great, was totally sharp.  Seemed at least a decade younger.  What a loss
