Barbra sings from GYPSY Oct 11
2012, 03:16:04 AM
Two reasons you all should lay off it,
One: C'mon, she is 70! I thought she did great, sure she was a little raspy but she sounded amazing to me. I would love to hear Mariah Carey try that when she is 50, I bet she can barely do it now!
Two: She is Barbra Streisand!! What more do you really need?

What Shows Do You Want To See Re-Imagined? Aug 1
2012, 03:55:36 AM
This is why I love the BWW forum, you all make me laugh just when I need it!
How about Ragtime set in modern times with vintage costumes?? Oh, never mind. Maybe Eve Ensler could rework Book of Mormon about women on a mission who are all going through different stages in their lives titled "The Book of Estrogen". It could be set in a monestary. With Julie Taymor directing of course!

Boyle's Frankenstein coming to NY? Jul 30
2012, 01:39:24 PM
I read an article recently, though I cant remember where, about Danny Boyle and the Olympics opening ceremonies. He mentioned wanting to bring the Frankenstein to New York sometime soon. Anyone have more info on this? Or maybe could remind me what magazine the interview was in?

The Lord of the Rings Retrospective Jul 30

Thank you Harry for writing this. As someone who never saw the production, only the montage clips I would watch over and over, I always wondered what the real problems were with it. I felt like there were only ever two different opinions from critics and theater goers.
One: It was the worst show for "obvious" (but never explained) reasons.
Two: it was the best show ever and everyone should to see it!
It was nice to finally read something that covered everything and gave a

He would be an interesting choice. Not sure if he would get the job, seeing that he isn't very well known outside of theater. Thats my opinion though, I could be wrong.

This is my dream cast and director,
Davies - Jonathan Pryce. I saw him when the play was in SF and he was amazing!
Aston - Colin Firth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsllVbjFvLA
Mick - Rupert Friend
Director - Tom Hooper
What do you guys think? Who would you cast and why? Who do you believe is the best choice for director?

Tony Award Performances: Are Some Lip-Synched? Jun 9
2012, 01:41:41 AM
Why are the Macy's parade performances lip-synched? I have a friend who was in Rent from 2001-2002 and she told me that when they did the parade they sang it live. No pre-recording. Why has that changed??

Les Mis First Trailer May 30
2012, 01:35:59 AM
WOW! I thought I would be disappointed with this trailer, I was wrong. Anne's rendition of 'I dreamed a dream' left me with tears in my eyes. It gave me everything could want from a teaser. Well everything except a shot of Aaron as Enjolras. I haven't been this excited for a film in ages!

Bad Audience Behavior: Newsies cast member's family edition Apr 15
2012, 06:28:40 PM
In the end the point is, should the actor have jumped off the stage, gone to his family and said "Stop, this is disruptive!". No. That is supposed to be the job of the ushers. In the past ushers have jump all over me for just taking a picture with my friends while in our seats "Because there was no photography aloud in the theater.". But while someone is ruining a performance with their behavior, the ushers just sit by and watch? Of course, the actor could have sent a txt message to his family a
