Profile for inception

Just the other day I was thinking about Just In Time casting, and I thought to myself if only Mark Consuelos was a singer/dancer, and had the time for Broadway - he might be a draw.  I don't frequently get the opportunity these days to watch their show, but he and Kelly Ripa still remain engaging when I do see it.

I don't even know if Jeremy Jordan is big enough?  He didn't blow up the box office for Flloyd Collins.   They need someone like a Zac Efron or something who would be willing to do Broadway.

My response would be

F: WSS

M: SoM

K: JCS

Also got Instagram ads all weekend from the big book store chain in Canada Chapters/Indigo that they got all the books back in stock.  So I went over to the one close to work this afternoon & picked up all six.

I'm wondering why they are announcing so far in advance?  Sounds like whatever renovations they're making are just starting.   Ate they trying to get more investments?

"Maybe, I Dunno"  Sounds like a new show about dating in the 21st Century. 

Got an email today from Washington National Opera that their next two productions this season, Scott Joplin’s “Treemonisha” and Robert Ward’s opera of “The Crucible," will be held at Lisner Auditorium.

Seems strange they would send out a tour when this was one of the most popular shows being done by regional theatres in the last year.

Regarding Ragtime: does it have enough steam to be as big a hit for LCT as something like My Fair Lady was & possibly keep running even through next Xmas?  Or will we only know once we see how it does into the Summer?

RippedMan said: "Interesting it was such a hit in London but not here. Re: Stranger Things. But I think London enjoys spectacle more than New York. Which is why something like Ragtime is doing such gangbuster numbers."

Proshots are expensive. They require time, money, blocking rehearsals, they already have the Netflix documentary about how the show was made? I highly doubt that this will bring in money/don't really think they should make a proshot tbh"

Netflix constantly needs new content to keep subscribers.   This is their top IP.  They'll spend the money.

 

Last week I asked a drag queen I know who does Cher impersonations a lot, what they thought of her recent SNL performances - which were so obviously lip synced. They said "She was fantastic! She's 79, we should be grateful she's still standing!"

Simu Liu says Hollywood has deemed Asian roles too 'risky' once again

Probably a budget issue.  Likely they charge them for running their ads there.

Goldenboy: what else have you seen this week? If this was the worst, what was the best? Did you see Chess or Ragtime?
