Profile for Scarlet Leigh

ALL Laura had to do was bow out gracefully when the production required vaccines and things never would have gone this south for her. Let's be real... was/is she the only anti-vacs person in the business? Highly doubt it. But she was the one stupid enough to make a big deal about it. 

Would people have still judged her for not getting vaccinated? Yeah sure more than likely, but if she has just said, "I understand the requirement and I'm not ready to take that step so

Hence my "I'll believe it when I see it" when my source was reporting that. As for the Majestic there WAS a rumored show which is now rumored to be pushing to next season and personal while I know there is

I will believe that when I see it but even so space is so limited."

I mentioned in another thread that ALW punted CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL to this season so as not to steal his

quizking101 said: "To me, a BAT BOY transfer would be a disappointment since a lot of it relied on the premium casting, most of which they would not be able to afford or need to replace for a commercial run, as well as it being a revival heavy year. I’m wondering where the chit chat about the DAMN YANKEES revival went, but I presume it’s because this is the year of revivals and they are possibly worried about getting lost in the shuffle."

Theatrefan2 said: "As it seems to be selling well, could Mamma Mia transfer to another theatre for open ended run if they're struggling to fill other houses?

I know its got the tour, but there must be a spare set somewhere to limit costs."

I doubt there will be any struggle to fill spaces as the limited space at present is going to make more of a fight for space than a fight to fill space. Also, it is very much the tour set they are using as well a

I mean there are a lot of rumors but until things close there really is not space for anything.

Currently we have 4 spaces that could house a show this season pending the shows currently in those spaces not extending any further than their current end dates: Golden, James Earl Jones, Majestic, Winter Garden.

Golden very well could be out if Mincemeat keeps their same formula as the West End and keeps extending a few weeks at a time. Winter Garden has rumors of a big name pl

So I saw Chess a second time, the first being first preview, and I have to admit that I am no longer sure how I feel. I really liked it first preview and I like some of the changes made but it feels like some of the changes made have a ripple effect that also made something weaker so it was an even exchange.

A comprehensive list of all the things I noticed from first preview to now (and opening is next week they have to be close to frozen if not already frozen). Some of these might hav

EvaLupone said: "As for everyone calling it a “happy ending,” I find it hard to see it that way. Nobody really gets what they want. And if they do, they’ve already lost something huge. In a great negotiation, everyone feels like they’ve been screwed over, and I think that’s exactly how this show ends.l."

I call it a "happy" one more in comparison to the more traditional endings used in the past. It's a bittersweet happiness

Danny1984 said: "Absolutely loving what I am hearing so far - great to read so many positive reports.

Two questions on the set:

- Do those platforms the orchestra areon move up and down or are they static?

- Is there any automation of set pieces coming on from the wings or flown in from above; or is the set simply as you see it in the pics?"

The platforms are static, There is some automation in the VERY center section of a screen that

Last night was very enjoyable! Is the new book great? No but if I'm being honest last night made me realize that I don't know is Chess NEEDS to have a great book. The star of the musical Chess IS the score. Ever. Song. Is. A. Banger. As long as you have the plot there to bridge the gap between the songs, this is the rarest of shows where I don't think it matters much what they are saying so long as it moves us to the next song. We get it. Cold War metaphor. Parallels today. B

Dave13 said: "Oftentimes, the group was split up. I often found myself in a small room with about 1/4 of the group. I would like to think the rest of the group was enjoying a similar scene. I get the feeling that if I go again, I may see a different show and have a different experience, especially knowing where to stand to get ahead of the group."

All the split groups see the same things just in a different order. So for example... and I will spoiler tag this just in

Was there on Wednesday night, 7pm pulse with Kyle and Eryn. I personally had a great time but I am the kind of person that enjoys things like renn faires and this felt at times like a maze meets a renn faire meets a production of Phantom of the Opera. There was something about the intimacy of being up close with the performers where you are literally locking eyes with them and feeling the emotion within. There are certainly a few parts/scenes that felt off or unneeded and there was a lack of

SeymourInBrooklyn said: "Can someone explain to a noob like myself why producers/composers said it wasn't possible to do 'Bombshell'?"

The vocal demand of the role of Marilyn would be insane. The songs for Bombshell in Smash were written to capture moments but if you actually line them all up back to back to back it's it would be an inhuman feat for one actress to sing the role of Marilyn. It would need to be severely cut down and then people would co
