Next Musical Creator that should have a Revue show
 Jun 23 2024, 02:34:42 PM

Boq101 said: "Schwartz has one he's been working on for ages. It's called Snapshots and it's unbearable."

I was asked to direct a local production -- I could barely get through READING the first act.   I declined.  You're right -- it's completely unbearable


Who is the Lead in Disaster!
 Jun 23 2024, 02:26:21 PM

I've been lucky enough to do the show twice.   It really is the definition of an ensemble piece with Chad and Marianne being the central love story.   But also Ted and Jackie are right there too

And I think having the press tour will be key to the success of the film.   I'm with you teddy -- fingers crossed


11 NEW MUSICALS - WOW
 Sep 20 2023, 01:50:41 PM

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Wondering if GUTENBERG will be deemed a revival or new work for Tonys purposes. Their advertising is focused on the newness of it, but the material has existed for more than fifteen years and shouldfall under the "classics" rule (if HEDWIG and BLACKBIRD are revivals...)"

 

My thoughts exactly -- it's not "new" 

 


Lea Michele as Fanny Brice
 Sep 4 2023, 10:18:18 AM

Jarethan said: "This is the math major in me, I guess, but I would love to know how many performances Lea, Julie and Beanie each ultimately performed. I would imagine that, by the end, Julie may have performed more performances than Beanie. A piece of trivia admittedly, but interesting to know."

According to Julie's Insta, she did 182 shows as Fanny 

Beanie was in the show from March 26 to July 31 (according to ibdb.com).  So she did the show for

I made a quick trip up last week and saw Kimberly Akimbo and Shucked -- LOVED them both.   


The 76th Annual Tony Award Nominations (2023)
 May 3 2023, 12:28:54 PM

noahseestheatre said: "Mr. Wormwood said: "BETTY22 said: "I have been trying t research what a TONY win means for a show.

Is there any scientific data? Such as a best musical win get's you 15% box office bump?
"

I'm sure there is someone who could mine the data but I think there's so much fluctuation because of what a show has done before the Tonys.

Sometimes, a Tony for Best Musical can prevent a show from a lik

NEXT TO NORMAL Film Adaptation On The Way?

I've always thought that Bradley Cooper and Toni should do it, with him directing


The Menu film - theatre stars aplenty

I thought it was terrifically fun, but Judith Light was wasted in the role, IMO.  


GUYS & DOLLS at the Kennedy Center
 Oct 8 2022, 11:57:40 AM

Valentina3 said: "Mpkenny99 said: "Any names swirling around for Spiderwoman yet?"

None that I have heard, but based on the casting game so far this season, I'm expecting a genuine dance-heavy hitter like Olivo. An ambitious production team would probably pursue DeBose as well.
"

I think DeBose is perfect for it.   Along with current Princes, Gavin Creel as Molina and and Joshua Henry as Valentin.  


A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - News & Discussion Thread

Yep -- I had friends that had tickets.   The House Management team was coming out to talk to people as they got there.  


Katy Perry in THE ADDAMS FAMILY LIVE
 Sep 1 2022, 11:11:12 AM

If I remember correctly, the show was in trouble in Chicago, so Jerry Zaks was brought in to pep up the show.   I think that his history with Nathan came into play and they just gave Nathan tons more to do.  

Please don't come at me if I've gotten this incorrect.    


Row Hotel on 44th Street and 8th Avenue to house migrants coming from Texas
 Aug 19 2022, 01:09:58 PM

everythingtaboo said: "Because you posted this here and ATC without the actual article:

NYC moving migrants into famed luxury Times Square hotel

No one is forcing the hotel to house them. But the city is desperate to house them and is actively soliciting bids. Hopefully it all works out while Gov. Abbott finishes up with his little publicity stunt.
"

You nailed it -- it's all a stunt by Abbott to show he's 'tough' on immigration.   He's an embarrassment to our state.    Grateful that NYC is helping 


Into The Woods casting updates

CarlosAlberto said: "I have to say that all these re-casting choices are ON POINT - this show is easily one of the MUST SEE events of this Broadway season. I just wish that Sondheim were alive to see this..:he would be so pleased."

Totally agree Carlos -- I thought it was near perfect and could only think of how proud and pleased Mr. Sondheim would have been.  


How much longer can
 Aug 18 2022, 10:21:06 AM

I saw it last weekend (for the first time in NYC) -- The Ambassador was the only house I hadn't seen a show in.   The show is exactly what every tourist wants, while it's a little long, it will continue as long as the house continues to fill like it did Sunday night.  

But you're all right -- WOW that house needs a complete overhaul
