Shows on Christmas?
 Dec 19 2008, 09:10:58 AM
Does anyone know which, if any shows, will be playing this coming Thursday? I know it's Christmas Day and am not sure...

Thanks!

Anyone heard anything about a possible GREAT PERFORMANCES recording?

GIMME GIMME! was the first thing that crossed my mind too!

How about the opening number from Beauty and the Beast?

Thanks for the info, ya'll!

(And sorry for reposting this -- I knew we had talked about it before but I couldn't find it...)

[tos] lottery?

Does anyone know what time you have to be at Lyceum, or when the drawing takes place?

Thanks!

re: Production of Mormon Boy gets cancelled week before OPENING...wonder why...

You know, I've often wondered if that show meant as much to people who weren't Mormon as it did to me...

I hope everything's ok!

I think it's strange that a message board marked up by those that don't could deter someone from going and seeing something by those that do...

joe5, I'm talking to you

If you want to see the show, do so. But don't let someone who (my guess is jokingly) uses the word HATE keep you from it.

And for the record, the show's fantastic.

re: Which of the following ten upcoming shows are you most looking forward
 Jun 25 2008, 10:43:11 AM
[title of show] -- no doubt!

But honestly? There isn't a single show that's opening that I'm not excited about. I kinda just feel like it's wrong to live in New York and have access to this kind of world class theater, and then poopoo it before it even starts!

Giving something a bad review is totally different than a bad prediction.

Optimism, people! OPTIMISM!

Shave Chris Fitzgeralds head -- cast him as Fester.

Get Alison Pill to dorn a dark wig as Wednesday.

And is Andrea Martin doing anything after YF? Cuz she'd be a great Granny.

I remember watching the old tv shows with my grandma... I remember Gomez as being goofy, kind of a dufus.

I think Lane would be great if that's the angle they take (which after reading Michael's article, it sounds like they are...)

Get him to skinny up a bit and put him next to Bebe -- I'll be there!

re: New Musical by the Creators of Spring Awakening

From what I've read this is a piece charged with political scathe.

A country's leader finding photo ops among the poor-turned-homeless post natural disaster?

A city laid waste from a tower fallen. A community running from ash....

Um... sound familiar??

It's definitely piqued my curiosity...

re: ITH's 96K = rip off of Black Star/Mos Def
 Jun 17 2008, 10:03:26 AM
I'm just curious... where exactly did you feel the story/show resembled RENT?

I mean, they both had characters named BENNY, they both had songs that were numbers in digit format.... But other than that?

Let me know

re: [title of show] Marketing

Is it too easy to say that the ads are totes [title of show]?

Like, I just got new shoes -- they're so [title of show]!


re: Someone help me out: WTF, Mark Rylance?
 Jun 16 2008, 10:14:10 AM
There was a moment there I thought he was going to break into "The Revolutionary Costume" from GG...
re: The Little Mermaid on the Tonys
 Jun 16 2008, 10:09:45 AM
I'm sure "Under The Sea" would've been preferred, but again, the non-nominated shows were only given aprx 60 seconds. There's no way they could've gotten those columns on and off in that time frame! (you know what I'm talking about... right?)

And MAD PROPS to Mullaly for rocking out her song -- for me, she was the most under-rated part of the Broadway Season.

"And Sieber is one of those guys who just gets humpier with age and weight."

In the Name of La LuPone, Amen.

re: my 'into the woods' movie dream cast!!

Jake Gyllenhaal and Christian Bale...

I like where you're going with this

re: What Musicals are Left to Be Made into Movies?
 Jun 9 2008, 02:55:38 PM
I think "Into the Woods" would be fantastic!

"The Witch: Kristen Chenoweth
The Baker: Steve Carell
The Baker's Wife: Audra McDonald -- actually, love Laura Linney!
Cinderella: Anne Hathaway -- or Kat McPhee?
Jack: Mark Indelicato -- brilliant
Little Red: Ellen Page -- I say get the girl who played Little Inez in Hairspray (give the cast some color!)
Narrator/Mysterious Man: Hugh Laurie -- great!
Cinderella's Prince: Cheyenne Jackson
Rapunzel's Prince: J

re: Tony Awards to Feature Performances by All 13 Musicals!
 Jun 9 2008, 02:23:23 PM
REALLY?

"Move On" is my favorite song from SITPWG. I think the harmonies that Jenna and Daniel rock out at the end are chilling...

And I'm very happy about the song choice from Gypsy (no need to abreviate that to just "G") It's the best song to let those three get the face time they've earned still featuring LuPone but not exclusively...

Do we know what other shows will be performing? I'm v curious to know...

re: LEAD ACTRESS?!
 May 13 2008, 03:46:52 PM
Patti was unbelievable - no doubt about it.

But I'd hate to jinx it by calling it a "lock" -- I was shocked when Raul didn't win!

I hear Kelli is beyond great, so we'll see...
