Hugh Jackman to hold 12-performance concert series at Radio City Music Hall Jun 19
2025, 08:51:29 AM
While I don’t condone what he did when he cheated, that has no affect on my opinion of his performance, and the performance itself was so lackluster.
There’s a desperation where he’s trying to hard with random jumping jacks and every song from Greatest Showman under the sun to be “hip.” A couple of songs from that? Fine. The entire soundtrack? Ridiculous. Jumping jacks to NSync? No. I’m aware the song was in Deadpool, but there was a dance in th

Yes the choreography and cast haveelectric energy. But it is reminiscent of a Beyonce concert more than anything else... and I can't decide if that is good or bad. The one thing I found walking away was I enjoyed the singing and choreography but I didn't care one bit for any of the characters. Che went for nothing. He sounded grea

BOOP! THE MUSICAL Reviews Jun 16

TotallyEffed said: "This was one of the biggest flaming piles of dog mess I've seen on Broadway in a long time.
It was like someone asked Siri to write a musical stealingthe plot of Roman Holiday but "in the style" of Barbie, only tackier. It's incrediblylong and subplots and supporting characters just kept spawning up out of nowhere. The Comic-Con, Times Square, and "political" scenes were particularly humiliating.

They started recording the cast album today. Maybe Groff doesn’t sound like Darin, but I really like his voice and the show’s take on the songs and am glad we’re getting them.

If it’s Legally Blonde, the emoji makes me think that Elle will be played by someone of color.

Agreed.
Where was Ramos? I thought I saw him in the audience earlier so he was there but didnt participate?
Seems especially unfair to ding DeBose, who is now an Oscar winner in her own right and still showed up to dance in the ensemble with her company."

funny to hear everyone’s reactions because the music was one of the things I liked best about the show. The melodies were stuck in my head, which doesn’t happen often nowadays.

The 78th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2025 Jun 6
2025, 04:32:40 PM
From the list of names on Playbill, it seems like Anthony Ramos isn’t performing with the Hamilton people. Sure, he could be filming something, but it seems more likely that after the breakup between him and Jasmine, both won’t appear together in the near future.

quizking101 said: "Criss is the one I’m hardest pressed to this of a replacement for. If Conrad Ricamora was 10 years younger, he’d be perfect (though he could always replace Marcus Choi). Dean-John Wilson (a noted AAPI performer on the West End) would be pretty solid.
Luna (from K-POP) could be a perfect replacement for Shen. There’s also a trove of Eurydices who could go in (Eva Noblezada, Lola Tung, Isa Briones, and Myra Molloy)"

taragel2 said: "Has anyone heard if Gracie Lawrence is staying with the show through the extension? Her band is supposed to be touring qutie a lot in the fall (40 shows throughout Sep-Nov) so I can't imagine she can do both. "
Gracie's initial contract was only through July. The Tony nomination may have producers ask her to stay through August/September, but her band is touring in October, so it doesn't seem likely she'll end much, if anything.

David Foster’s Opinion of Broadway May 27
2025, 02:20:52 AM
Wayman_Wong said: "Unfortunately for Foster, a 16-time Grammy winner, the Tony nominators didn't find his songs for ''BOOP!'' (with lyrics by Susan Birkenhead) all that ''hot'' or else they wouldn't have snubbed him for a Tony nomination for Best Original Score.
One of my issues with ''BOOP!'' was:
Why is Betty Boop, a cartoon creation from the 1930s, singing contemporary-sounding pop anthems?"

Well, this is better than Gatsby, but I don’t think that’s saying a lot. It’s just so dreary and dull. Jeremy Jordan, obviously, and Jason Gotay were very good, but the show itself just isn’t.
I had no idea Nellie was supposed to be going crazy until they literally said it. How Tina Landau could allow Lizzy MacAlpine to perform the character that way is beyond me, and I don’t get the appeal of Taylor Trensch. There were a handful of young people in th
