Other possible bio-musicals?
Jul 13

I want a Lady Gaga bio-musical so bad. Her rise to fame and controversy, the failure of the album Artpop, her turn to jazz music w/ Tony Bennett, and then rise to fame again with A Star is Born! Think of the amazing costumes and she has a pretty impressive catalog.

I can’t remember which articles it appeared in but I remember they said CFA running costs were around 450k -500k per week. I’m sure it’s gone up slightly with more swings being added because of covid but can’t imagine they are anywhere close to bleeding money. They will survive at least through the summer

Space, Sci-Fi and Broadway

JBroadway said: "It's just hard to do sci-fi and space travel justice onstage because the scale is so massive. You can do a play about a bunch of astronauts in a shuttle, but it's hard to capture a grand sense of adventure across planets and galaxies. It's not that it can't be done (and I'm sure it has been done), but it just doesn't lend itself naturally to the medium.

That’s a completely fair. I hadn’t thought much about t

Space, Sci-Fi and Broadway

Im curious on peoples thoughts on why we dont see more Space related and Sci-Fi musicals/plays on Broadway. I think there could be some incredible source material to adapt. Also with the universe being limitless there are endless stories to be told about Space.
Ive had this thought upon coming across this song on YouTube. Its based upon a video game called The Outer Worlds. But this song sounds just like it could be from a modern musical.

Has anyone seen this show? I searched for posts on this board but nothing came up. With Michael Arden directing I can only imagine they are hoping this show goes somewhere

Tuck Everlasting for sure! I love the music and that final ballet was beautiful. I think some better direction and it could have been a hit. It didn’t need to be a big show in a huge house with a large cast.

I wonder if Colleen could come back after she tours. I think her tour finishes the middle of November so she could come back for the holidays and help close out the show

Come From Away seems to be slipping ever so slightly, but wow I still can’t believe they’ve made it this far."
I was wondering about Come From Away as well but I think they've made so much money, both on Broadway and globally, that they'll be around for a lot longer.<

I’m assuming it’s not available yet because they announced another tour for this upcoming year. Hopefully this will be the last non-equity tour and other theatres can start getting their hands on it soon. I would love to direct it!
