Re: Stacy Keach dies at age 85
I enjoyed him a lot...however, I have to admit I already thought he had passed.

Re: LITTLE DANCER finally lands, 12 years after the Kennedy Center. Why London and not Broadway?
Jordan Catalano said: "fashionguru_23 said: "Although, someone who might know more than me about the Theatre Royal Haymarket...is the theatre kind of an independent theatre?

I feel like I watched a documentary about the theatre, and they were kind of a stand alone producer."No, it's a standard West End Theatre - one of the oldest actually. But they usually run shows for 12 weeks or so. I feel like I see at least 3 new shows th...
Re: LITTLE DANCER finally lands, 12 years after the Kennedy Center. Why London and not Broadway?
Just listened to a podcast interview with Susan Stroman, and she was talking about Little Dancer. She had mentioned that the Seattle run was just before the pandemic (Spring 2019), and then when things went to move forward towards Broadway, everything closed down so it halted everything. It seemed like it would just be another score of Ahrens & Flaherty that never reached Broadway.Then, they were asked to perform the score last year in London. The response there was extremely positive, and th...
Re: LA Times pans the non-Equity MUSIC MAN tour -- fair critique?
I feel like this is more of an attack on CTG for programming the show. Usually, the non-equity tours in LA play the Pantages (from what I can gather). I feel like the reviewer took out their anger for CTS having hosted this tour. From the accounts I've read, the show seems like any old regional production of the Music Man. Also, the last revival also wasn't groundbreaking, or like the Dolly revival from the same team.
Re: Jamie Lloyd Company Popup Shop?
Does anyone remember the Theatre Circle location underneath the Marquis, in the street level parking lot?
Re: Jamie Lloyd Company Popup Shop?
To me, this basically means "hey! we need something for this spot while Much Ado runs into Evita"...brand synergy.
Re: Disney will launch North American tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 2025, Broadway stop next?
I just want to say that Disney on Broadway seems to be scared to take risks. We are never going to see another Lion King. I hope I am happily proved wrong on that, but still. Sidebar: I saw the Toronto out of town of Aladdin, and was in the minority that liked that verison more than the final production...the current one (like, Hercules on the West End) it seemed like one long Disney Channel comedy episode
Re: Disney will launch North American tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 2025, Broadway stop next?
I know its not the same, but the idea of puppets they use for the cruise line show are so great, and the moment the actors place the object on the ground because they are fully objects is outstanding

Re: Phantom of the Opera Pro-Shot
The fact that the "record" for the "original" production of Phantom will be lead with 2 Black actors as the leads, warms my heart! I love it, Andy!
Re: DIRTY DANCING: THE MUSICAL (Horne) - Film's 40th Anniversary tour stops on Broadway, 2027
Anyone worried about whether it would be ruled a revival or not at the Tonys, don't need to worry. It wouldn't get a nomination if it was the only musical out there...talk to The Lightning Thief lol
Re: DIRTY DANCING: THE MUSICAL (Horne) - Film's 40th Anniversary tour stops on Broadway, 2027
From what I understand, it is a new creative team taking on the stage version that played London, Toronto, and played a US tour. So, new set, direction, etc. But same production where Johnny and Baby don't sing, but a male and female singer with the band do.
Re: DAMN YANKEES - 2027 Broadway revisal (Marquis) - Harris, Hough & Scott
joevitus said: "fashionguru_23 said: "Can someone who is more in tune with the show, explain what needs to be updated?"The literal answer is nothing. It wasa fine show that didn't need any work done to it. However, a recent revival made Joe a Black man and thus touchedon the integration of baseball (a genuinelybig event marking progress in our society that does't get as much attention now as it used to becausebaseball isn't the national pastime anymore). This added a new level to the material...

WAKING NED DEVINE musical in development from ONCE and COME FROM AWAY team
willep said: "Worth noting that the Lyric's website has it billed as a "New Broadway-Bound Musical"."A line like that always makes me laugh, because obviously the majority of musicals have Broadway aspirations...it would sound bad if it said "New Chuckwagon Beef Dinner Theatre-bound musical" or "see it before it goes to Reno!"
Wanted and Galileo - Changes for Broadway?
mitchern said: "Has there been any info on what changes both shows made since out of town? I'm curious if they addressed the issues with both (books especially!) or if they made lateral changes as seems to happen too often these days."I keep getting TikToks from Ross Baum (the composer of Wanted) about their path to Broadway. I haven't watched them, tbh, but you might find some answers there.
Re: Megan Hilty Replacing in Established Broadway Show?
If it is Mildred in Schmigadoon, I don't mean to type-cast, but the original was a former Glinda like herself...Kristin Chenoweth.It will be like the Elphaba to Elsa pipeline all over again.
