Got the IG ads for both this and Small Mouth Sounds. ...very odd approach Rudin is taking with these two productions.

I saw the first preview- Holding the Man is still in.If you're in the front row, it is pretty hard to escape his notice, but for active participation he's very good at getting enthusiastic consent (not that there was any shortage of enthusiastic volunteers in the audience, even for the most outrageous asks). However, he is all over the house and I would wager you are pretty likely to at the very least have him near you, step over you, or come into contact with you even if you never choose to ...

HogansHero said: "Nettik said: "Megan Ellison, among other women, have specifically called out Rudin's sexism on top of everything else."I believe I asked if there was any evidence of his being anti-feminist (aka sexist). Calling out someone by simply using the word sexist (or racist) is not evidence of anything. What we do know is that he has long associations with lots of strong women including one of the strongest and most politically and industry active, Midler. Yes, he was abusive. But y...

Looking at a board like that takes me back twenty plus years or so.I do think they've made a common mistake on boards like these, which is over-separation of topics into distinct subforums (the entire Box Office section could arguably just be one board instead of 4, particularly when 3 of the boards have no more than a few dozen posts). This typically leads to over-policing of being "on topic" and leads to some boards just totally languishing. For me, there's a sweet spot between a free-for-a...

I was not really following the show but, per Wikipedia, it seems there have been at least five variations of it between London, Broadway, the US and UK tours, and the MTI licensed version. It’s kind of wild that something that would have seemed to be an obvious adaptation win has never been able to nail it.

I don't know that this is so much "teasing possibility" so much as "idle musing."

The shows at the highest tiers are either small productions or enormous box office hits so they can afford both the highest salaries and the additional personnel expenses of touring.

This honestly feels like an ideal show for Encores, where they can both stack the cast with larger theater names they likely couldn't for a full run and also see what the broad appeal is like.

What the hell are you even talking about? Maybe stick to posting your usual gifs and AI slop.

Full cast announced via IG.

If the production moves forward, I have to imagine it'll be with West End/Broadway names.

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...
