When Tom Kirdahy shared about the film now being on Disney+ and Hulu on his Instagram stories, I replied with "I rewatched it earlier today. Great job," which he gave a heart reaction to.
On March 13th & 14th, the North Carolina Symphony will be presenting Hollywood Hits. Two guest vocalists are coming down to the Triangle area to perform iconic songs from memorable movies and binge-worthy TV shows such as A Star is Born, Tommy, Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Rock of Ages, Love Actually, Top Gun, Elvis, and more. One of them is Bryce Ryness, who I recently got to speak with. He has appeared on Broadway in Legally Blonde: The Musical, Hair, Leap of Faith, First Date, and Matilda in addition to two live TV musicals, Peter Pan in 2014 and Rent in 2019.

Seeing how Disney tried to replicate that success with Tarzan and The Little Mermaid, but failed miserably, it's understandable why they haven't been pursuing high brow theatre directors as of late.

A number of people are still waiting for the live capture of the 2023 reunion concert to premiere. I've read that it's currently on hold because of this revival.

While the Tonys and the Oliviers don't always see eye to eye, it is worth noting that Oedipus did managed to win Best Play Revival from the latter last year.

That's true. It'd also be something for Levy to lose the Olivier for the West End run to Nicole Scherzin
If this happens and Caissie Levy reprises her role, it'd be something for her to be an early Tony frontrunner for Best Lead Actress in a Musical two years in a row.
Worth noting that this will mark Morrison’s first time stepping into a Broadway production as a replacement since the first Rocky Horror Show revival in the early 2000s, which was also at Circle in the Square.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I once ushered for a local community theatre production of Ragtime. It actually did so well commercially, that they extended the
I read somewhere in these forums not too long ago questioning whether or not Arden is as good at putting together new musicals as he is with revivals. Those are the exact sentiments with Diane Paulus, who helmed Bareilles' first musical, Waitress. While that show has its fans, it also has its share of detractors.

But that's really not ever what happens. Context matters, and narratives come into play. Always."
I wouldn't say narratives are taken into account every time. We especially see at the Oscars how passion wins over sent
