THE NOTEBOOK To Launch National Tour Fall 2025

Ingrid's score might not be traditional musical theater (very little of it advances plot), but damn does she hone in on the emotional truth of the characters. These actors really run with that blueprint and are doing some exceptional work on stage.
I wonder how it would be to only listen to the score without seeing the production. I could see how it might not resonate as much.

Always surprised that this play isn't produced more.
I'm dreaming of Sarah Paulson and Robert Downey Jr. He has the charm that the role really needs.

Interested in how a younger Sister Eloysius changes the power dynamics with Liev. With zero disrespect to Tyne Daly, this is a fabulous last-minute replacement.

Universal Orlando just announced a huge expansion. If the film is a hit (I'm sure it will be), I'd bet that we get an official ride (flying in bubbles, riding on broomsticks...). They could cash in on merch for years and years.

Idk y'all... I think it looks great. Would I have loved some music? Yeah. But the energy and tone seem spot on.
Renee Rapp has developed quite a following. I bet more people know her outside of broadway at this point (completely flipped from a year ago). If there is an agreement with SAG and she is allowed to promote, this could be a modest money maker for Paramount. I'm sure at minimum it will break even.

While this could have been the Daniel Radcliffe or the Jonathan Groff show, marketing has been very clear in that all three have equal billing. The trio of them have done a slew of interviews as a group, all highlighting their chemistry as a trio (note they gave Lindsay Mendez first chair next to Stephen Colbert which I thought was super classy). Initial money and pre-sales might have been for one of the more mainstream "stars", but I'm sensing a shift in buyers wanting to see a

Now, if it were an Emma Stone situation, Emma was and is a huge star who chose to be a first replacement Sally out of, I'm sure, tons of other offers. Or she just had some downtime between films.

Sorkin and Sher to revive CAMELOT for Broadway

Ensemble1681133217 said: "The acting was fine throughout. Soo was the closest to a standout for me. I can't say I'm fully aboard the Andrew Burnap performance. By the end you see a transformation into the King we all know about. But for the rest of the show, it was a little too wishy washy for me. That lack of machismo threw off the love triangle for me. Neither of the men exuded that heat that this cold production needs"
This seems to be on purpose -

Sorkin and Sher to revive CAMELOT for Broadway

Saw this late last week. Bartlett Sher's South Pacific is one of my top 10 productions I have seen in NYC. Any big revival of his at Lincoln Center is such a treat. This, however, is not it.
My biggest complaint is that it just doesn't seem to be directed as a musical. Maybe because of the script updates by Sorkin, but the direction calls for the book to do all the heavy lifting. Every musical number seems like an afterthought with a direction to get back to the book as quickly

"I've seen two operas at the Met via TDF and both had fabulous orchestra seats. Both were weeknight shows. For PORGY (a popular title), I was probably about 3/4 of the way back in the house, a few seats in from the farthest side aisle. For a less-popular title, I was in Row L on the side but closer to the center. As with anything TDF it's gonna be hit or miss depending on the demand for the show, but I'd certainly take the chance on TDF again before buying $50 seats in th
