THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON Heading to Broadway Next Season? Jan 21
2025, 05:14:07 AM
For me this was the highlight of my London trip last week. I cried through half the second act. But it is very British, too British for American audiences.
For this to work on Broadway they need to move the setting to America. And start off-broadway first.

First solo London trip! (Advice & recs, please) Jan 18

I always stay at an Hub by Premier Inn https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hub.html
The locations near the theaters are somewhat more expensive than the locations outside the center. But all affordable for the quality you get.
I always eat at Pizza Union, which is located just behind the Shaftesbury theatre. Perfect place to eat alone.

Aaron Tveit, Sutton Foster will next star in ‘Sweeney Todd’ Nov 1
2023, 08:25:25 AM
'Sutton is in everything' comments make no sense..
Yes she was in the Music Man last season. Before that it was allmost 10 years since she last played on Broadway in Violet (2014)
Not counting off-broadway, Encores, Londen and other places she performed.

Checking in with the Oklahoma! Revival (West End) Jul 8
2023, 07:10:58 AM
Thanks for this binau,
I saw the show 2 weeks ago with Arthur still in it.
After the ending, it took me about 10 minutes before I could do or say anything. I was so confused and emotional. Absolutely loved it!

There is the 'The Big Four': Assembly, Gilded Balloon, The Pleasance and Underbelly. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Festival_Fringe helped me the first time)
They show the more accessible performances.
If you never seen it before and love musicals (you're here so..) go see Showstopper: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/showstopper-the-improvised-musical

Newsies Broadway/Oliviers Apr 3

I tend to disagree. The choreography of the west-end version is much more showy and over the top. A lot felt so pointless and just added for effect. (the cable car, hanging from the lamps, etc.)
And yes it felt very 'inspired by'

Knight, Saunders, and Settle to lead SISTER ACT revival in London Mar 19

Keala makes her west-end debut as Nurse in &Juliet later this month. A pretty big fun role..
Feels like she will be stepping down for Sister Act..

West End not expected to resume performances until at least 2021. Jun 17

Those are all his own shows.
He has more theatres (like the Novello), but he doens't (fully) produce these shows (like Mamma Mia!)

What Was The Worst Musical You Saw Apr 29
2020, 04:34:25 AM
9 to 5 the musical, London (and I believe US tour) version.
The book isn't great, the songs are mediocre. But at least the Broadway version had a great cast and direction.
For London it was like the director said, play it like you are a comic book character from the 60's and make sure they get it at the last row. Awful.
Also the London production of Be More Chill made no sense to me.

SLEEPLESS (Sleepless In Seattle) Musical To Open In London In March Mar 19
2020, 11:58:10 AM
I hope they cancel the run and reschedule to a REAL theatre in the west-end..The Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre is a horrible theatre. I mean, it is okay for special events. But not intimate theatre.

BAT OUT OF HELL Will Play 8 Weeks At NY City Center In 2019 Dec 21
2018, 02:29:24 PM
It is a big flop in London.
The production in Germany isn't a succes. No date has more than 50% of the tickets sold.
Why would they still want to bring this mess to New York?

So isn't the Al Herschfeld a little small backstage for all the big sets?
