ACL2006 said: "And the show will need a name to sell."On the road? Not at all. It's an acclaimed production with a beloved songbook. Touring audiences will eat it up.

Ke3 said: "I haven't seen it but I was under the impression the Audrey direction in this production was intended to present her as a fully serious dramatic role. The clips I've seen of other people all seemed to be an Audrey that's more bogged down by her trauma than the original.I try not to be that person who's like "the original is always the best!!" but Ellen Greene is just as important to Audrey's creation as Ashman & Menken. Everything she does is perfect and feels embedded in the chara...

What a surprise: CoffeeBreak starting rumors about an Arden production. Again.

suicidalmickeymouse said: "It’s opening next month in the space formerly known as the McKittrick, yes?"Yes, the venue is now called the Culture Club. The Heated Rivalry musical is also there.

How was a production like this able to get Hillary Clinton to attend…?

I missed it at the Lortel but am glad to have the opportunity to see it scaled up with this incredibly stacked cast. Hope it catches on!

witchoftheeast2 said: "Oh. Thank you! Do you think that means a transfer announcement is coming?"ER765 has been saying it pretty definitively and they're a pretty reliable source of info; but even without that, the signs are there for something more substantial than the release of an album we already knew was coming. A lot of industry folks have been sharing it on IG and being very coy in a way that a cast album wouldn't typically merit.

Sutton Ross said: "Pay attention and stop yelling at the bot Fred Mason, then you might have noticed. For months, he called people names that hated Cats.Enjoy your now closed musical with horrible, problematic people in it. Unlike Ragtime. Hmmm....Kisses, sad pathetic beta males."The most pathetic thing about you is how transparently sad this act all is. What a life you must have to come here and behave like this on a regular basis. You're not nearly as funny, not nearly as smart, not nearly ...

Evita already released the highlights in October, anyway, which kind of stepped on the full thing.

Noted decrier of abuse sees a performer alleging poor treatment at the hands of another and her first thought is to bully somebody who isn’t even part of the discussion. And then probably going to see MJ again.

Despite their acclaim and quality, I have my doubts about how both this and Downstate will fare on Broadway without some kind of big name attached, which is a sad reflection on the state of things these days. It's not unlikely that one will follow a similar path as Liberation last season, flopping hard but managing to win Best Play, but that's still kind of a bummer.

I stand corrected that he has none; it's not info that first comes up when looking him up. But he still has considerably less experience than Evans.

witchoftheeast2 said: "If this account was only created for the cast recording that's very upsetting"It wasn't; it was created in 2022. (IG quietly made this information available for all accounts; click on the ellipsis on the top right of a profile and select 'About this Account' )

Robert Silk Mason just posted a video recounting their negative experience with Harcourt. It's lengthy and, frankly, kind of rambling and at times hard to follow, but the crux of it is that Harcourt continued to do their kiss on occasions in which Silk, with discussion and approval from production, requested it not occur due to health concerns.

We all know they’re not capable of that.

It makes sense. They’ll see a bump thanks to the closing announcement and the holidays and the theater will be occupied in an otherwise undesirable time to open new shows.

The Chicago Tribute reports that K. Todd Freeman and Francis Guinan are cast, but still... no actual announcement.

Sutton Ross said: "TheQuibbler said: "And the nostalgia monster continues to devour the wallets of millennials. Will they ever learn to resist?"Good thing it's none of your business what we spend our money on, what a relief for you!"You constantly make it your business when it's somebody or something you happen to dislike.

Although, given his health struggles, this is perhaps less of a shock than Parton, it is still just such a crushing blow. Both Curry and Parton shared a similar quality of being immensely talented and taking what they did seriously, yet always seeming to just truly relish what they were doing. They loved doing their art, took great joy in it, and that was just palpable.
