We are living in some insane times and this is going to be a long 4 years."
I wish I had the hope that it would only last four years.

Universal's WICKED Film - News & Discussion Thread Dec 9
2024, 11:30:01 AM
rattleNwoolypenguin said: "Cynthia and Ariana's chemistry is more compelling than Ari's overall performance in the film as Glinda.
When the two of them are together in this it's really magical.
When Ari's with other characters it feels sometimes one note and definitely not as funny as the character has been onstage.
I think Ari's is just ultimately an uneven performance. Not bad per say, just inconsistent. Which I think happens if

Novels That Could Make Great Musicals Sep 8
2024, 06:37:48 PM
I've always thought Carol by Patricia Highsmith (and also a beautiful film) would be really interesting to musicalize. I could see Frankel and Korie doing it but I also see it as an opera tbh.

I didn't hear that she got better post injury. Didn't she miss again after the injury too?

TAMMY FAYE will transfer to Broadway in 2024-2025 Season Aug 21
2024, 12:38:40 PM
The sales for this...are not good. Even with closing sections. I wish them well but am very confused why this show is playing the palace. Didn't it play a tiny theatre in the UK?

I hope they make it! The sales aren't really looking great still.

Liza Minnelli Will Release Her Memoir in 2026 Aug 6

I know Feinstein is her friend but she also basically funded his newest Gershwin album. The vibes are strange to me but as long as Liza is okay then I'm happy

How is Jinkx Monsoon as Audrey. May 24
2024, 10:24:38 AM
There's clearly some biased vitriol going on in this thread which is a shame. I saw jinkx a week ago Wednesday and she was beyond incredible. Truly felt like the first proper successor to Ellen Greene without copying or mimicking. Jinkx's somewhere that green was equally funny and beautifully tragic (full body chills in the last few beats). Suddenly Seymour was so special too. And her death? Oh my god. Me and my friend certainly cried. Vocally, I think there's some things that cou

City Center’s MATTRESS transferring to Broadway this summer May 17
2024, 02:29:50 PM
Happy for those who are happy about this but I thought she wasn't really great at city center. The voice is not doing well these days and she's singing lower keys than Carol Burnett. I don't get this but good for everyone involved.

LEMPICKA Reviews Apr 19
2024, 02:32:28 PM
I was lucky to see Mariand's debut at the late Thursday matinee and it was just undeniable how much better she is at singing the score than Eden. I loved her! I found the show a mess but a loveable mess. Amber Iman is luminous and alive every second (I need to hear the bracelet song again asap). The design/aesthetic is constantly at odds with the text so that's an oof. Also stillness was sorely missed for me. Wish it hadn't been cut.

Chu developing CRAZY RICH ASIANS musical Apr 17

Wonder if Chu is pivoting to this because the sequel isn't moving forward.

Any chance we'll see Daniel Fish's Oklahoma! again? Feb 16
2024, 03:14:44 PM
Some of you are so precious with your tastes lol. I loved this revival and would've killed for a great proshot. For the first time Oklahoma worked for me! I actually don't want to see the original again ever. Also thought that Rebecca Naomi Jones was robbed of a Tony nomination. I'll never forget her especially in the last scene.

COLOR PURPLE movie musical currently in development Jan 5
2024, 12:11:24 PM
Surprised no one has commented on how much of the lighting is far too dark in the movie lol. Half of fantasia's face was obscured during I'm here. Seemed like a real easy fix but I've noticed in general no one really is lighting movies well anymore.

Is Days of Wine and Roses the early favorite for Best Original Score at the Tonys? Dec 27
2023, 07:21:50 PM
This is a strong complex score. There's a few really strong melodies in it too. Seems silly to say it's tuneless.

Is it even confirmed to want to come to Broadway?

Hilty & Simard to lead DEATH BECOMES HER in Chicago spring 2024 Sep 11
2023, 04:31:51 PM
Okay but her role was also played with someone else at the most recent lab (within the last few months). Maybe she'd come back for the possible Broadway run but I wouldn't bank on it.

Hilty & Simard to lead DEATH BECOMES HER in Chicago spring 2024 Sep 11

Brave Sir Robin2 said: "Hilty and Simard are going to be HILARIOUS, no matter what the writing is like. (Am I the only one who thought they would be playing the opposite roles? Jen seems more like a Madeline, and Hilty has more of that Goldie Hawn effervescence to me.)
It's smart to hold off on announcing Scherzinger, her Broadway debut has been rumored for years and this would be a great role for a splashy start and potential Best Supporting Actress buzz.<

I saw her Sunday -- it was a surprisingly muted performance all around... Aug 30
2023, 03:27:23 PM
Didn't Barbra also change keys if she wasn't feeling it? I heard there were "matinee keys" that would be lowered lol.

Will Heathers open on Broadway? Aug 15
2023, 02:14:32 PM
I don't really ever see this coming to Broadway. It does pretty well in licensing and is almost constantly performed. There's also now a proshot. I don't think it would make sense to come to Broadway at least financially 🤷🏻♂️

Unconfirmed - A STRANGE LOOP to be filmed for theatrical release? Aug 9

Im still wondering what happened with the pro shot of Girl From The North Country. I’d much prefer that to a film. Mare broke my heart into a million pieces. I have no interest in Olivia Colman."
I assume GFTNC was looking for a distribute for proshot bu
