Profile for DramaTeach

He said it’s Matthew Morrison, which we’ve said here, followed by Jeremy Jordan, who he said will go to London for the Frank Sinatra musical after Bobby Darin. Not sure I believe him doing Just in Time since he doesn’t dance, but if the Sinatra part is true, I’m sure Matt Doyle won’t be too happy.

What’s the post on Broadway World about a new producer to the show who’s still in HS? Are we supposed to be excited by that? So weird. https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Wanyue-Jie-Joins-TWO-STRANGERS-Producing-Team-at-17-20260103

I feel like I’ve heard her talk about doing it for years. She’s definitely a NY girl who loves it, but it’s a commitment and when there’s way more money to earn elsewhere, she goes there. Her movies and tours haven’t been as successful as of late, so maybe she’ll actually follow through one day.

Went yesterday and it was more powerful than I anticipated. The cast was fantastic and certain audience members were very loud and enthusiastic. I suspect it wasn’t their first time. The rest of the audience was probably only 1/2-2/3 full. Balcony looked empty and sides of the mezz were too. Sad it’s struggling.

I don't think Joe has the vocals for Gatsby?"

This one is definitely more in his wheelhouse. Good luck to him.

Where did this rumor come from??"

Deux Moi said he’s coming to Broadway

Deux Moi posted that Joe Jonas is coming to Broadway, and I think he’d be good. Right age and charismatic.

I really wonder when they’ll announce. Asked someone I know who’s involved with the show and the topic was changed. Didn’t seem like they knew. Groff only has 3 months left.

I know people are saying he’s not mug of a draw now, but I don’t think he was much of a draw then. Ask Finding Neverland, which also had Kelsey Grammar and Weinstein money, didn’t last very long. Interestingly enough, the out of town starred Jeremy Jordan who was replaced by Morrison. Jordan is clearly the bigger star now.

He’d be fine (Jonathan’s Bobby does have shades of the showmanship and confidence of Hairspray’s Link) but not exciting. Going from Jesse St. James to Mr. Schu feels a little ho-hum, but it’s not terrible.

Dying to know the rest of the cast!

The two leads feel very much like grown theater kids too, so I hope they all get stage opportunities in NY very soon!

So this isn't sweet enough for you?

In the video on Youtube that is sadly gone now she sings it even softer..

And regarding the loudness, there's also an audio on Tiktok of this song where you can various noises from the audience. Can't have been too loud.

its easier to ignore the people with a certain predictable take on Lea when you could give them a large list of songs sung in a variety of ways. its kind of boring how predictable they are. Pretty sure she won't be leaving the show on their say so anytime soon.

oh and the take on her acting is also predictable . ho hum.

If you don't like Lea just be honest and say it without making claims that she can't act and only sings one way , both of which are demonstrably untrue.

"

I don’t like Lea. I’m not hiding that. But the reason I don’t like her is because I don’t think she’s a good actress. You’re allowed to disagree, but I don’t feel anything from her performances. No depth. Same way I felt about DeBose at Baker’s Wife.

Also, I said the audience tended to disagree, so I’m not sure why my response would be deemed “predictable.”

Looks from her Instagram story like Laufey is at the show tonight, so maybe…

I wonder how far Just in Time is and if they’ll recoup by the time Groff leaves.

Yet again, I will state that only these two men could handle and sell the show the way Groff does. Here’s a 42 minute conversation of them being theater nerds: https://youtu.be/B__h8DmYiBA?si=e_oFBwyXIPSIuIcK

Is that a guess, a question, or a factual response?
