Kenny Leon to direct Broadway revival of CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD... Sep 29
2014, 03:13:03 PM
Kenny Leon is pretty good at respectable productions of classic plays, so I hope he will do well with this work. He is at the very least a tasteful director so I'm sure he wouldn't have the nerve to cast hearing actors in the deaf roles.

Rough week for LOVE LETTERS and ONCE. I can't imagine that LES MIZ will last past January.

No, it was a perfect list until they revised and updated it (unnecessarily).

Both ONCE and CINDERELLA dropped below the dreaded 60% Mark and LOVE LETTERS barely made over $100,000. Rough week for all.

Coming October 16--Michael C. Hall as HEDWIG! Sep 8

I've always found him to be one of the best actors working today, and every single performance he gives is pretty phenomenal. Also, his singing voice is much stronger than both Rannels' and Harris'

Truly tragic news. And to think people were making fun of her in the off-topic thread.

Question about Funny Girl (specifically Cornet Man) Sep 4
2014, 11:57:20 AM
I really think that the movie is good enough and captured Barbra's performance well enough that we don't need another production. It was a show written for her and she is what makes the movie good. Nobody else could do that role as well as her, so why should we get somebody else who wouldn't do it well enough? Oh, and if always crack up at the Roller Skate Rag, and I prefer it to Cornet Man

Video analysis: Miscast Mame — Angela Lansbury vs. Lucille Ball Aug 30
2014, 01:17:51 PM
I agree with him kind of on this one (though I can never forgive him for hating HELLO, DOLLY!) but I think that in order to find criticism he only watched 2 scenes from both the movie and the musical and found his meager criticisms in those, instead of properly watching both (but can you blame him? The Mame movie is terrible!) and making his criticisms from that.

Universal joins as Producer on SIDE SHOW Aug 28

So I am not allowed to have an opinion on a message board for opinions about theatre, just be causes you don't share my opinion? I will not hush my opinion merely because you don't want others to see that somebody doesn't like your precious little favorite musical. It was painfully bad to sit through and generic in the worst of ways with soap operatic drama that literally made me laugh in the middle of the show. It was one of the worst travesties in Tony award history when that show won over NEX

PORGY AND BESS lost money, and they would have lost more money on the viciously expensive CRY-BABY and BRING IT ON than they would have made on those three plays, but yes BILLY ELLIOT was a success, though a garbage musical.

Two intermissions is nice. It gives a nice bit of respite and breaks up shows better than just one intermission.
