"How about Neil Patrick Harris's opening number from 2012 Tony awards... "What if life were more like theatre?""
I forgot about this! This is great! Too bad I only have 10 minutes for this assignment (I'm pretty sure they'll be annoyed if a video does most of the talking for me), but I think I can use part of it now and the whole thing when I've got an entire class to teach.
Thanks for this! And I l

Help a Future Theater Teacher Out

Hey everyone. I'm currently obtaining my teaching certification and plan on teaching High School theater. I have a new assignment for my certification course in which I have to lead a lesson or discussion on theater. I've decided to pose the question to the class of "Why is theater important?" and have them brainstorm in groups before sharing their thoughts.
I thought it would be fun, though, to play a song about art or theater at the start of the le

"Its adorable when the youngsters don't understand sarcasm."
It's also adorable when theater snobs try to out-sarcasm each other.

What shows are due for a revival?

Love some of these listed on here, particularly SECRET GARDEN, Lippa's WILD PARTY, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, CITY OF ANGELS, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, and SUNSET BLVD.
Kind of shocked that TOMMY isn't on here, though that's partially because I just saw a company in Austin do it with an Alice in Wonderland look to it. It sounds weird, I know, but it worked remarkably well and actually enhanced the story.
There's no doubt that the music from TOMMY has staying power, and the sho

I'd say a guy in his early 20s is the perfect age to play a college student, and it's not like Fiyero's songs are vocally demanding. He'll do fine.

Open post to the group from Texas at the 10/19 Kinky Boots

OP, while I was not one of the Texans at KINKY BOOTS, as a citizen of Texas (and a conservative-ish person to boot), I apologize that you had such a lousy experience. Texans are a proud bunch, but there is a time and place for Texas pride. Usually that place is Texas itself.
Anyway, I apologize on behalf of my state. Keep in mind though we're a gigantic state; not all of us are assholes. Most of us are nice. Austinites are particularly friendly, but I'm a little biased.

Most Epic Song Climax?

"Happiness" from Passion, though the climax is at the beginning.
I'd say most of the best ones are from songs written for women ("Rose's Turn" from Gypsy, "Lot's Wife" from Caroline or Change, "Old Maid" from 110 in the Shade). The only male one I can think of is "Soliloquy" from Carousel.

OP: I actually agree with your school's decision. LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is for mature audiences, and therefore it is inappropriate viewing for some parents. And no, you didn't read that incorrectly.

I'm envisioning something like WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? but with a witch and a scarecrow.

Just saw a great production of it in Austin, TX, and I completely agree. With the right theater and the right cast, it could be a hit on Broadway. Still, I think if it ever happens, it'll start with an Off-Broadway revival that will transfer to Broadway.

Songs about the Press

Hey there. I'm an Editor here at BWW, and I've been asked to sing at an upcoming event for a theater in my area. Since I'm theater critic, I think it would be fun to sing something that is about the press, about a writer or about language, or is, in some way, a review of something or someone. Any ideas? Keep in mind that I'm not a great singer and haven't performed in 10 years. Any ideas would be welcome!

"Brush Up Your Shakespeare" from Kiss Me, Kate was added at the end of Act II to cover a massive set change for the show's finale. It's always done in front of the curtain, and it's not really a part of any scene.
