The context is the opening of the new Carousel of Progress at Disney, which he did voice work for and is the subject of the video.
DiegoKoch said: "I was banned from the theatr app. Even making new accounts, they will find u if your banking is tied to a previously banned account. It’s not that good anymore. Was great at first, but it’s certainly gone downhill. They charge an arm and a leg in fees and tix don’t sell as fast anymore."So you're saying theatr is better than BWW at managing your compulsive, delusional need to stay on platforms regardless of how many times you get banned for breaking policy? Another point in i...
Dan6 said: "To those who keep track of such things…if Benjamin Button transfers and ends up going against Paddington, would this be the first time that two Olivier winners for Best Musical competed against each other for the Tony?"Looking at the winners for both awards, you seem to be correct!We also haven't had an Olivier-winning best musical win the Tony since Billy Elliot.
I also thought it was Karam’s play, followed by, “where has Stephen Karam been?” It looks like there was a very low profile presentation of a new work of his just last month as part of the Sun Valley Playwrights Residency, so I am glad to see he is still writing.
malcs98 said: "I think we can all agree that this show will not get a cast album right?"No…? If Lempicka, Harmony, Jellicle Ball, Queen of Versailles, and other recent flops can get an album, I don’t see how one can decisively say Wanted won’t.
I think Fisher is generally fine and whatever attendance problems he has had in the past don't seem to have continued recently. I'm not sure anything I've seen him do makes me think, "Ah yes, that's somebody to play Prince," but obviously a lot is riding on his casting. As it stands, the production has a major uphill journey and tossed its original book and director just earlier this year.
Mueller chose, of her own free will, to pursue this role and accept the offer when she received it. She knows her career and what she needs better than you do.
Jay Lerner-Z said: "Oh wait Kad, I read your comment as them not getting either competitiveornon-competitive.I still think it would be egregious if the rules are so rigid that (potentially) the best performance/s are shut out of all the fun and excitement and recognition. If a non-binary performer can win Best Actor, well then so can a woman. Or a man win Best Actress. If the Oliviers can do it, so can the Tonys."I don't think the mixed genders of the performers is an issue (at least, it's no...
darquegk said: "There's an interactive ARG going about an upcoming un-announced musical by the pseudonym "The World-Famous Author." Speculation on Insta seems to be that people think it's Jason Robert Brown, but I don't think JRB is a huge and buzzy enough name to be running an ARG around discovering his identity.Anyone seen this or have any hunches? There's currently a scavenger hunt for a cassette of one of the demos from the show."
I don't think it's egregious for an awards body to decide, "We want to honor this work but it doesn't fit neatly into the framework of our existing awards categories."
Jordan Catalano said: "As someone who didn’t dislike this show as much as others here do, even I am kind of shocked that the reviews were not as bad overall as they were. Looking over ticket sales, they don’t look awful but tomorrow’s grosses will give a better picture as far as how much money they’re actually making."I think these sort of mixed reviews that offer at best tepid pull quotes are worse than outright pans, in many ways. Extremely negative reviews inspire a degree of interest, cri...
getatme said: "DiegoKoch said: "How much of a star is NPH ? Rob McClure is more of a star to me and to everybody"Surely this isn't a serious statement."Look who posted it. Of course it’s not. McClure’s casting in this was never ever confirmed, merely rumored as being in talks, so it’s weird people are speculating about it. He is not the first actor to be in the mix for casting and ultimately not make it. The guy works constantly.
