Umm bffr.I'm not sure what possessed you to say that I was reaching by bringing up misogynoir. Unless you're a black woman, I don't want to hear you saying when you think misogynoir discussion is appropriate. We're talking about awhite passing woman's experiences compared to woman that hasdarker skin. Saying there's no space for it in a production about two black women who experience life differently based on proximity to whiteness is

Was there last night (rush ticket in the house left box closest to stage, anything all the way SR or too far US was audio only, when the faux proscenium slid in view was pretty obstructed as well)
It's wild to read people's takes on first previews, and inherent biases/preconceived notions run rampant . . . if you're so certain who Rose is and what she should be then why go see it at all? And all the vocal takes . . . my god.
The score sits thrillingly in

Do I Hear a Waltz? Colour Footage of the original production

This was delightful! How beautiful was Elizabeth Allen!? And Sergio Franchi, such a hunk! The scenery is beautiful as well, I always envisioned it looking like a watercolor painting and it looks like that's how they approached it as well!
I adore Waltz. I'd love to see it performed someday.

The licensed libretto for both revival versions just indicate that the Emcee introduces the girls, there are no written lines.
There are no issues here from a legal standpoint.

I love the idea of Jan Maxwell but what about Bernadette? She's got glamour in her bones and it would be fun to see her play against type as an ice queen!

The first thing that sprung to mind for the hat is Falsettos, followed by Big Fish.
The first image definitely looks like Light in the Piazza to me.
The Mona Lisa/feet-----The Most Happy Fella? (That's a reach, "Oh, My Feet" mixed with the Italian element)
I feel like Can Can is pretty likely, especially since there's that new revisal they've been working on.
I hope the last one's not Memphis. No one should ever be subjected to that schlock again.

You know how you can put a piece of chocolate in your mouth and not chew at all and just let it melt and your mouth absorbs it slowly and you enjoy the subtleties of the taste so much more deeply than if you just chewed it and wolfed it down? Yeah, that's what this production was like.
I only had two complaints. One is quite small and one is quite large.
The small one? While the costumes were absolutely gorgeous, I thought the design choice of having Clara and Margaret matching

I'm seeing it tomorrow night and CANNOT WAIT! This will be my first time seeing it live (or all the way through . . . I missed parts of the TV broadcast).
I'll report back, of course.

"Good choreography tells a story, bad choreography is a series of back handsprings."
This may be one of my favorite quotes about choreography.

They should do one of the casting shows where the winner isn't revealed until the live performance. They can be down to four candidates and all of the candidates can play smaller roles in the show with the winner stepping in to the lead.
Just a thought.

If they MUST do Mame, why not with Kristen Wiig or Amy Poehler or Tina Fey? They've all sung on SNL and could surely get enough training to pull it off. Although I think Amy Poehler would be a great Vera. Or Rachel Dratch. Throw in Beiber or a One Directioner as Patrick and it'll be a smash!
