The name I heard… well it ain’t BAD

Any word if the current tour leads are extending or if we’ll get another changeover in May?
 

It was just announced Sadie Dickerson (Sandra Dee) departs Just in Time on April 19th. Maybe she could be the new Glinda out on the road? 

Re Death Becomes Her: Is Wolfe still only contracted through April? She had it listed in her Instagram bio, but it’s no longer there. They need some stunt casting or a new marketing strategy.

I like to fill in any missing music on a cast recording with the tracks from an audio bootleg; it’s like I’m getting the whole show, but I’m still giving the cast album streams. 

Yes, I’ve seen the Gillian Anderson film.

I would love to see a British team adapt the Emily Mathis interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for the stage, but perhaps that would seem too derivative of Frost/Nixon.

I think any dramatization of Trump, and I think The Apprentice already proved this, is going to have an extremely difficult time portraying Trump (physically, vocally, or otherwise) in a way that’s not meant to stoke a laugh out of the audience. Trump himself is a caricature of the American/New Yorker real estate billionaire. 

Really interesting to see Oh, Mary is an add on in San Francisco…

ETA: oh wait, I’m just now seeing it’s a co-presentation with ACT. 

Kad said: "It doesn't appear that the info for Stranger Things from last week is included here."

The show was dark the week prior, so there was no info to provide.

I hope Dawn French does it

Baz Luhrmann confirms they’re developing an Elvis stage musical.

There are still plenty of markets that have yet to announce.

Somehow I could see Nina West doing it

CoffeeBreak said: "Correct. Also MAP does not sell tickets."

Even if it’s not Park I highly doubt any sort of “star” does it. The way the touring market works is not built for “star” actors.

I’ve heard Mason Alexander Park will be taking the tour out.

Timbers and Disney have seem to have mended some bridges between The Muppets special he did and he’s working on The Princess Bride stage adaptation. As previously mentioned Disney is no longer leading the charge on TPB and has given Jeffrey Seller the producing reins.

Is there any reason to believe LCT is planning to film the show or already has for TOFT or Great Performances?

Can we talk about Eva Price for a sec? Lol. There’s some shady business going on with her production company, MEP. Look into the producers fees.

I miss the days when Disney worked with directors like Julie Taymor and Francesca Zambello. Even Grandage’s directing portfolio is far more exciting than Nicholaw’s. 
 

It’s interesting that they’ve decided to license out The Princess Bride instead of producing it in house.
