As one that has an odd distinction of seeing every professional production of this in the world from Japan to Mexico to Vegas I will totally join you in that trip.

2023, 09:55:34 PM
One of my favorite musical experiences. I flew special to London from Chicago to see this bit of crazy and it was worth every penny. The score is so so lush. I would love it if they did it in concert but at this point Ill take what I can get, Putting this one on the calendar :)

BAD CINDERELLA On Broadway - P/reviews & News Thread Feb 17
2023, 09:45:23 PM
Jordan Catalano said: "Intermission. The bones of the show are exactly the same but pretty much every scene and most songs are tweaked to completely rewritten (there’s a completely new opening number and a new song in place of “Unbreakable&rdquo ."
I obsessively saw this 4 times in one week in London knowing it would change. I totally ate this mess up so I’m curious about the new opening.

JBroadway said: "As Hogan, rkade, and some others in this thread have alluded to:
The people who dress the most casually are often (a) artists/theatre professionals, and (b) die-hard theatre fans. Meanwhile the people "dressing up," tend to be the people for whom a night at the theatre is a more rare occurrence. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But the grand irony of all this bellyaching about "respect" is that the people dressing casually are often

I think this is it. There are people that will always dress up for it but I think the age of it being the social norm are gone. I've been seeing shows since the mid 90s' and usually just wear something comfortable after all I'm there to see the show not for them to se me

ALW: Cinderella to transfer summer/fall 2022? Sep 27
2021, 01:26:41 PM
Having just flown over and seen it twice this past week I'm over the moon to think it would make it state side, but unless they are going to keep the rotating stage they will need to rethink some parts of this as its used quite heavily.. This is so exciting !

COME FROM AWAY will be filmed; aiming September 2021 release Sep 13
2021, 08:41:42 AM
Let me just add my name to the list of people singing the praises of the film. I was going to book the tour of this right before things shut down so I am glad to finally see the staged version. So glad they went with this as opposed to a film staged version because the use of theatrics in this show is a great reminded of the power of theater staging.

GavMakCritic said: "Does anyone know why Catherine of Aragon’s costume is teal instead of gold in the new Broadway production? Were the costume designs revisited or something else?"
The lead actress is gold, usually teal is a swing color

I believe this. When I saw the show in Chicago, there was a guy in the front row that the Queens kept interacting with. At first I thought he was part of the production but then, I saw him at the stage door waiting along with everyone else. I'll be curious to see if they interact here too.
I think this policy overall is very generous. Rushing is hard for me but I'll plan to try the lottery.

Will there be a SIX American Cast Recording? Jan 28
2020, 09:47:23 AM
I think they were very smart in making the album the way they did. Much like Hamilton it's mixed with a radio/ pop audience in mind. That I think is partly what has made the songs catch on as they have, it's musicals for people that might not like that "showtune' sound. I do hope we get a OBC recording because I think that the cast has amazing talent but also hope for the limited edition purple vinyl but I'm not sure they would put much more on it then they hav

Wicked Movie 2025?? Jan 14
2020, 05:21:40 PM
I'm sure it will happen but don't hold your breath. I agree that they need to think of a new way of looking at the story to re-tell it on screen. It works great on stage but, as we all know, that's not always the case on screen. It takes a long time to get the visual language right for a film. 3/4 of the work is figuring out what to do not how to do it.
