SOME LIKE IT HOT On Broadway - News & Discussion Thread Nov 2
2022, 12:00:36 PM
Saw the 1st preview last night as well - WOW! I will echo what most here have said that this is in fantastic shape for a 1st preview. All the accolades in the comments before me are correct. Sitting in the 3rd row side Mezz, the sound was a little difficult - mainly understanding lyrics in the bigger brassier numbers. Also hoping they trim a little of the first act, currently running close to 1:20. Second act was tight and zippy. LOTS of tap! Possibly

Musicals that miss the point of the movie they are based on Mar 24

I personally enjoyed Big Fish onstage much more than the movie. The movie is darker in tone. While I'm sure that is the preferred version by most people, I think that it worked well on Broadway.

Where was the live broadcast of INTO THE WOODS filmed? Apr 26

Ah okay!
Also, do we know why Bernadette's wig is blonde in the taping and grey in all the production photos?
Granny's dress is different as well.

Jon, yes. The end of the opening number as well as the Baker's Wife stealing Rapunzel's hair were also heavily changed and restaged compared to how they happened 8 times a week in the show."
How was the opening number changed?

Does anyone know if there's a script of this that exists? I would love to take a read. I've recently started listening to the RSC version and feel like it might be better that the Broadway/Tour version!

If the tap step is indeed a shuffle, maybe it's "Shuffle Along" ?

On The Twentieth Century Previews Mar 1
2015, 09:50:49 PM
I saw the OTTC tonight and absolutely loved it!! I knew nothing about the show going in and couldn't have been more impressed! Kristin was phenomenal and even though I was upset that Peter was not going to be in the show, his understudy was incredible as well. I can't imagine Peter playing the role the way James did. Andy, Marc, Michael and Mary were wonderful in their supporting roles. "She's A Nut" was the best part of the show for me. The set and costumes were stunning! I read some of the e

Schoolhouse Rock LIVE Aug 27
2014, 07:40:34 PM
Does anyone know if a cast recording of Schoolhouse Rock LIVE exists? I'm going to be doing it soon and the TV show versions are in different keys and have a slight difference in arrangement. I haven't been able to find a recording. I know there are some YouTube videos of the show but I haven't found a killer production to use as vocal reference. So if anyone knew of one of those that'd be helpful too!
