Oracle: 42nd St and CAROUSEL Oct 28

Do what I do: pay the for the Discord, and get the info before it comes out, instead of being a bitter old man. Because let's not forgot how many bait and switches people used to do on here.

I know NY state has similar things. Many tours launch from Buffalo too. I believe Rhode Island has something too, as Providence has launched a lot too.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES with Kristin Chenoweth Sep 30
2025, 08:33:37 AM
I've said this elsewhere, but as someone who saw the Boston run, I really enjoyed this show, despite it being imperfect.
The final moments of Jackie standing in the completed foyer of the house, alone is impactful. It shows that the money can't buy everything, and it reminds me of the great lyric in "Thank Goodness" from Wicked: "Because getting your dreams, it's strange but it seems a little complicated. There's a kind of, sort of cost. A couple of thing

Time to Cancel Your Disney+ Sep 19
2025, 08:38:03 AM
As someone with control issues, I will say something that I learned during the pandemic: the only person you can control is yourself. Therefore, if deleting you Disney+ subscription is part of that, go ahead. Moreover, if I disagree with Scott Rudin, for example, I'm won't buy a ticket to his upcoming show.
Also, I feel like its safe to say that telling this forum to elect Democrates is 8 out of 10 times,is preaching to the choir.

Let the Bells Ring Again: It’s Time to Revive Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Sep 5

rosscoe(au) said: "Unless Disney go back to the German production without all the narration, the show is sadly not worth producing. This is from someone who loves it, and saw The La Jolla run ( Patrick Page and Michael Arden outstanding ) but those changes are not good. You don’t need the story to be explained."
To be honest, I didn't like all the narration either, but I feel like if it was just one or two people it would be fine. I always hate the change i

Your first Broadway show? Aug 26
2025, 02:04:41 PM
My first show was the Toronto company of Beauty and the Beast. I didn't make to to NYC until I was a teenager, where my first show was the final performance of the original cast of Legally Blonde.
Side note: the Palace theatre is extremly special to me, as it was the first theatre on Broadway, but it also hosted my 3 favourite things in life: Beauty and the Beast, Judy Garland, and Sharon, Lois & Bram (a famous Canadian childrens entertainers). I have such fond memories o

What would you love to see adapted as a musical? Aug 22
2025, 11:18:00 AM
There is a great book out there called "Jackie and Diana". Kind of a parallel lives thing, that I think could be great. I know we don't need another Diana musical so soon, but still. Side note: I have always wanted to do a production of Camelot but have a Jackie K-type for Arthur, JFK for Guinevere, and Marilyn Monroe for Lancelot.
I'd love another try at a musical of Picnic. I know they did Hot September, but I would like to try again.
I've also alwa

Mmm...I'd say Kristin Chenoweth originating a new role, with a new Stephen Schwartz score has some support.

Billy Porter out of Cabaret 8/20 Aug 20

binau said: "I've never seen a performer that has been so humiliated on Broadway. Beanie comes to mind but that felt like nothing compared to this. Can anyone think of other examples in the last 15-20 years that come close? There must be some but nothing comes to mind."
Personally, I don't see Beanie being in the same conversation, because I feel like she was trying to give a good performance. Billy Porter just seems to be off the rails, and not doing anythin

The Princess Bride Musical - To Premiere in Chicago Jun 26

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Interesting that Disney is no longer producing and they handed it off to Jeffrey Seller."
I believe that this is a situation much like Sister Act. While it is a property owned by the Disney Company, it does not fall under the "Disney on Broadway" brand. Sister Act was "produced by Whoopi Goldberg, Stage Entertainment, Joop Van Den Ende, Bill Taylor & Rebecca Quigley. Produced in association with Disney Theat

Performers who Originated roles in workshops and became replacements later on? Jun 24
2025, 08:34:54 AM
While, not exactly what you are asking for, a fun bit of trivia is I remember hearing Julia Murney saying when it came down to the final casting for Elphaba, it was Idina, Julia Murney, Ana Gasteyer,and Stephanie J. Block. All four women would lead a production (Broadway, tour, Chicago), with Murney being the first Elphaba replacment on tour.

Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film Jun 5
2025, 10:03:01 AM
I am so excited for this movie. Visually, this trailer makes it look a little "splashy, but we're also serious". I have heard many people who have seen a cut of the film say its very good, so I'm hopeful.
I will say the lighting is a lot brighter than I was expecting it to be, but I wonder if there will be another trailer that is more "dark", to contrast the story.
