And I mean something beyond just capably singing. Francis is known for her pristine tones and beautiful voice. They may sell tickets but this is embarrassing.
I was hoping for Orville Peck, but he is touring this fall. Shears is a let down for me. He was abysmal in Kinky Boots. This is more in his wheelhouse so we'll see. He and the Pentatonix girl sold no tickets at Kinky. I feel he wasn't a first choice.
If this were to happen, I think there would be an unwritten, unspoken backlash in the Broadway community. I don’t think the theater voting community would like this and not want to set a precedent. Namely, a big star ingratiating themselves to the Broadway community with cloying bravado only to slip in a major revival with their kid. The show will not win anything. Also, everyone will kiss Pinks a#* to her face while secretly resenting her.

I just saw this show at the Chautaqua Institute. I loved every minute. I agree the premise was a little too much at times, but those glorious voices won me over. I also agree that country opera song was not a great fit as I couldn't understand a word of it.

My initial concern about the casting of Meg was whether or not she had the training or craft to do the role. I have no insight into her background. To me it seemed like she was a cringe comic and social media star who broke through. I truly enjoy her but wondered how she would approach the character. Does she have a process or would she play it the same as everything she does. I found her acting uneven and lacking in the Lena Dunham penned vehicle which was cancelled. She also does a lot of "...
I actually think Francois will be the biggest draw. He’s an excellent actor with diverse credits and a sizable following. He’s on a show that became a phenomenon. His character and storyline was preferred by many to the leads. He actually seems most annoyed by the Heated Rivalry fervent fandom. I don’t see him engaging with the stans at the stage door. I think he’ll skip it most days. Those frauen can be intense, demanding and scary.
Saw this last night and while I enjoyed it a great deal, it needs work. It worked best for me if I treated it as a separate entity from the film as it veers a great deal.The dancing and choreography is off the charts. Just stunning. Every dancer is giving 120% and Melanie Moore is a force of nature no idea how she does the show multiple times a week. Her performance as Nina is quite good but a little uneven.Amber Iman as a reinvented Leroy is excellent. She was a standout.Tonally I found the ...
The public is understandably getting very conservative with how they spend their theater dollars. I think they’ve hit the wall with higher prices for celebrity shows unless it’s a great show. This being mounted on Broadway was an insult.
It would be nice to get someone with some name recognition and comedic chops. Cheri Oteri, Missi Pyle would nail it but they might not be big enough names. A true A lister would probably not do a tour.

She took walks between her matinee and evening shows of AOC. She’s always stressed that her mobility was vitally important to her. She does yoga every day too. She will probably outlive me. Her Violet was thrilling. She was nice enough to talk with me for a while at the stage door and sign a photo I had of her. She’s really interesting and kind.
