BorisTomashevsky said: "I think the current London set is the same design as the original production, just shrunk a bit for its current theatre."

No the original design doesn't exist anymore.  The West End production and the US tour don't have the larger curved taverna walls that were automated, the light up floor or the raising dock.

^the pages of Vanity Fair apparently

Everyone has to wear the Phantom mask (à la Sleep No More).

Let's be realistic, this will never happen.

The costuming, including hair, aren't doing her any favors.

Thoughts: the YouTube comment section will be more entertaining than the movie.

They actually stifled their success with the Vegas-exclusive production.  Avenue Q could have been, and should have been much bigger.

Obviously should be Tony Danza...

They should really put together another review-type show.  They had a dud years ago with On The Record. But there's so much potential for something better.

The View would 100% never have let her out of November shows anyway (election month).

All the comments are saying the Elphaba doll sounds like Kurt from Glee, and now I can't unhear it.

I hate how this film is CGI-ed within an inch of its life.  And those Planet of the Apes-like monkeys.  Geez.

Also why am I not surprised that Michelle Yeoh didn't bring the grandiosity needed to Morrible.  Her "wicked witch!" is so underwhelming. 

^Yet you'll suspend your disbelief that a 54 year old woman has 2 small children in the earlier timeline.  Or that she breaks out in song in her everyday life.  Or that Mr. Goldstone would let a black person on his stage.

I suggested Lea Delaria for Rose on post #185 of this thread! 
Sure, she's maybe more suited for Mazeppa.  But maybe she can be Audra's matinee alternate. (although Cynthia Erivo might not allow that...)

Dolly's coat of many colors is now just a red parka. 

Speaking of Sudeikis:
Hannah Waddingham for Tessie please. And she can be the alternate Rose at matinees.
(I realize she wouldn't take on this featured role at this high point of her career, but she'd be perfect)

My million dollar casting idea of the day: Lea DeLaria

Could you even imagine.

Well hopefully by 2026 someone will realize how wrong she is for this.

Anyone know how they preset the Norma at the top of the stairs? Did they fly it in, and then she ran up there? (The Tony's video would suggest, at least for that event, that she was up there at the top of the show)

I thought this was a late April fools' joke.

I hope the members picket.
