Set my DVR to tape it a few days ago and it said Patti and Mia were scheduled. Just went to check and it now says Connie Chung & Jackie Hoffman are the guests.

Patti LuPone called a privileged, racially microaggressive bully by Hell's Kitchen cast member Nov 4

Unless you are with her 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and in private you actually don't know this to be true."
So are we to assume you are with her 24/7 and know her to be racist? try again.

I am not on X or Instagram. I have popped over to Ms. Lewis' facebook page to read reactions. My question is, have any other cast or production members come out in support of her? I read one cast member shared her video. Just curious.

The BWW Tech Support Thread Nov 3
2024, 08:47:53 PM
So, within the past month on my Chromebook I am constantly getting the "Please allow ads" box in the middle of my screen. Problem is that when I click to allow ads BWW won't allow the ad blocker to turn off. If I then click the "x" in the corner, the page scrolls to the top. The box pops up after I start scrolling down on the home page. It will sometimes pop up when I click on pages in threads and when I go to scroll through the comments those ads in between comments p

CreatureKitchen said: She states she wants to build community and get a genuine apology, so I think it's fair to point out that her approach does not seem to be facilitating either of those things."
^^ That part.
Bettyboy72,I was also wondering if there is more to the story or if we don't have all of the details of how it was done.
At this point, if I was Patti (And sometimes I am late at night when I am alone....but I digress), I

Well, I was one of the people who commented about Kecia using social media.
Yes, it is used constantly for going after people and is pretty much the norm. But in my comment I suggested that Kecia take her own advice, that she repeated a few times in her video, and address Patti directly. Invite her to talk Directly. As she mentioned, I think, they are right next door so what stopped her from going over and talking to Patti in person?

I don't know. The Globes for the most part haven't really gone for wins like that in recent years."
I meant to include "At least a nomination". I think she will at least get nominated.

Could any old cast member call a theatre owner and be like 'hey, the show next door is too loud' and the owner jumps in to action. No of course not."
I think this would have been worse had she just walked next door. And do we know that she actually made the call? Is it p

When rumor was going around that Grande was attached, I thought she was going to possibly be Elphaba. So glad she got the Galinda role. Just from the clips so far I can see her snagging at least a Golden Globe. JMO

Is it worth re-reading the book before seeing it? Did they include more than just "padding" in the movie?
I just grabbed a ticket for a matinee on the 21st.

Playing With Fire - Musical Concept Album Oct 30
2024, 09:50:19 PM
Listened to it today. A few songs stood out for me but a lot of it kind of sounded the same. I didn't dislike it but it isn't something I will listen to again soon. It's a concept album so I took that into account and would actually love to hear it again if it goes further with different arrangements and orchestrations. I do like the pop style it is written in though. JMO

Looked at a ticket for the Amazon Prime early screening. They are doing it at my theater in the immersive theater for 25 bucks. I don't need to see it that bad. Will wait and do a cheaper matinee. There appears to be a few seats left for the opening weekend here.

Grande commented on it last night at an event in Hollywood. I think in a roundabout way she is saying Erivo needs to be prepared for what may come with a property this big.

Threw it on my home speakers when it dropped. Decided I needed to listen to it more closely with ear buds in. I have now listened to it 3 times through....
The production on this is outstanding. The performances are...outstanding. But at the end of it all I was not thrilled.
This recording is A LOT. Taking the songs separately, there are a number of good ones. Miranda went B**ls to the wall with this. And as a recording it is pretty flawless. There are nods to Sondheim and Larso
