Re: DEATH BECOMES HER On Tour - Anyone See It?

Nov 11, 2026 — 8:53:15 AM

Caught the tour in Durham last night.I’ve only seen the original movie a couple of times, enjoy it overall, but not intimately familiar with it. Yet I could still tell how the creative team stayed true to what made the film a cult classic to begin with while still injecting their own creativity into the proceedings. On paper, the premise itself is absurd. But in execution, this property fully embraces it. After all, this ain’t the type of tale that should be taken seriously. Like the source m...

Hopefully, Octet will be included in this year's announcement when it's revealed next month.

Now that Halloween is over, many are already gearing up for the holiday season. For countless theatre companies, they’re in the process of presenting a Christmas-themed production. Every year, several of them produce their own adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. In my latest column, I explore how differently some approach the story.Click Here for the Full Column

Re: 2027 Best Musical Theatre Album Grammy Predictions

HenryTDobson said: "I can't see Ragtime not winning this."It is worth noting that as Lynn Ahrens is a co-producer on the album, her winning a Grammy for this would then mean she'd be an Oscar away from EGOT. For those who may not know, she actually won a Daytime Emmy back in 1980 in the category of Outstanding Children's Informational/Instructional Programming - Short Form for H.E.L.P! - Dr. Henry's Emergency Lessons for People.

A legendary character actor with countless credits to his name. While he was best known for roles on various TV shows such as Evan Drake on Cheers, Sheriff Jimmy Brock on Picket Fences, and William Walker on Brothers & Sisters, he actually appeared on Broadway once. It was as Lucien Wilbanks in Rupert Homes’ short-lived stage play adaptation of John Grisham’s 1989 novel, A Time to Kill, back in 2013.

Live TV Musicals Making a Comeback?

Oct 17, 2026 — 7:17:55 PM

In a recent Variety article that dug into how NBC revived live TV musicals in the 2010s, Bob Greenblatt revealed quite a tidbit. He said “At this very moment, I’m talking to NBC and ABC about producing a brand new live musical. Long may they live!”https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/sound-of-music-nbc-live-musicals-greenblatt-hairspray-1236914848/

I still would love to see Ariana DeBose play Aurora. Although other Latina actresses I think could do the role are Eden Espinosa and Mandy Gonzalez.

Re: MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews

Caught the national tour in Durham last night.The show has come at a very interesting time in the world. We’re currently living in an era where AI has become a reality. Naturally, there are a ton of discussions regarding the use of it. Some have argued that AI can be used for good. Although others have expressed concerns about it replacing people in the workplace and/or potentially getting out of control. In Maybe Happy Ending, it imagines a future where robots can live alongside humans as a ...

Re: 2026-2027 Broadway Season

Oct 6, 2026 — 10:07:16 AM

I caught Dirty Dancing on tour way back in 2014, and found it to be a lumbering bore. If you ask me, it perfectly demonstrates why staying faithful to a T is never a good idea regarding these screen-to-stage adaptations.

Re: Roundabout’s FULL MONTY Revival Cancelled/Postponed?

One reason I heard as to why The Full Monty was being dropped from this season was because they apparently couldn’t find a star interested in the material (including the big strip at the end).

As the Broadway run never spawned a cast album, this should more than makeup for it.
