I say this at least once a week, but I genuinely can't wrap my head around how this woman isn't a household name while the Kardashians are.

What would you love to see adapted as a musical?
Aug 21
2025, 09:18:58 PM
I've always said that Ms. Congeniality would be a fun choice. Staying in the Sandra Bullock-world, While You Were Sleeping could make a super cute, small musical. With Sara Bareilles music, of course.

"As backlash continues overMaybe Happy Ending's decision to cast Andrew Barth Feldman in the role of 'Oliver,' replacing Darren Criss, actor BD Wong has penned an open letter about the matter, which has been signed by 2,400 theatre artists. Aaron J. Albano, Ali Ewoldt, Ann Harada, Anthony Rapp, Conrad Ricamora, the Broadway Body Positivity Project,Joaquina Kalukango, Jon Jon Briones, Telly Leung, and many more."

I don't understand the endgame of this. Getting ABF to step down? Closing the show?
Is it better to have a show that has Asian representation that is flawed or to not have an Asian represented show at all? Genuinely asking...

I absolutely loved this musical! It’s so exciting to see creators take bold risks like this—especially when the payoff is so rewarding. Just for Dear Bill alone, they deserve the Tony for Best Score. While I haven’t made it to every new musical this season (I’m working on it!), this one would definitely get my vote for Best Musical.
On a different note, I caught a matinee and was honestly shocked by the audience's behavior. Multiple phones went off,

Love this!! I wish all shows had youth/teen editions, it's so important to expose students to as many shows as possible (beyond Mean Girls, Beetlejuice, etc.)

He also won for JAGGED LITTLE PILL (and inexcusably didn’t get one for AMERICAN IDIOT)."
Oops! Thank you for the correction.

Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren to star in THE LAST FIVE YEARS Broadway Revival
Jan 22
2025, 06:29:15 PM
I think Nick sounds fine here. His biggest problem is that they paired him with a powerful vocalist who will most definitely outshine him. Adrienne sounds incredible. Am I fully convinced that this part needs such a powerful vocalist? No, but I honestly don't care since I will be playing (half) of the inevitable album A LOT.

Musicals You'd Like to See Jon M. Chu Adapt for Film

Georgeanddot2 said: "I do plan on seeing it, but every bit of footage I see of the film is so poorly blocked and lit and color graded. Wicked should look beautiful. Instead it looks LOUD and amateurish. This required a great director and Jon M Chu is not a great director.
It's disturbing how you people respond to criticism. I can't just find a director's work consistently poor, I have to be a bitter, hater failed actor?I think you're projecting.

Followed the house manager’s suggestions with a light colored shirt (presoak in warm water and dish liquid, then machine wash) and unfortunately the stains did not come out. Shirt is ruined. As good as the show was, it’s hard to carry a positive memory of the experience now. And again, it was all complete

LMM working on THE WARRIORS musical?
Nov 11
2024, 01:10:02 AM
After a few weeks of listening to this album, I've really come to enjoy it as well. It's fun and the performances are top notch. A Light or Something is LMM at his finest and Same Train Home is gorgeous. There are many great moments throughout.
My biggest quibble is the finale and just overall theme of the piece. Maybe it's the fault of the original movie, but the message of the story is unclear to me. LMM's finales typically wrap everything up so well, so I was disappointed by this end
