I remember her stating at the time that Sheik/Producers promised a new solo song for Patrick's Mother in the AP 2016 transfer but it never materialized. It was still great to see her in the show and I could listen to her rendition of Nice Thought with Jennifer Damiano @ 54 Below every day for the rest of my life. 

Kad said: "I still can't forgive this production its flaws- those flaws remain- but it feels rejuvenated and closer to what it needs to be than it ever did before."

This x1000. I felt like I finally saw "the vision" tonight — a whole year later — and that's thanks to Eva and Orville. Forgive the hyperbole, but Peck would've been a serious Tony contender to beat if he opened the show in 24.

Official wording from the Sundance site:

"Valentín, a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina, a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna.

No stranger to the Festival (Gods and Monsters, 1998 Sundance Film Festival) or the megaplex (Dreamgirls, The Twilight Saga, Beauty and the Beast), director Bill Condon returns with a stellar, reimagined interpretation of Kiss of the Spider Woman (previously a 1985 film and 1993 Chita Rivera–helmed, Tony-sweeping musical). Set amid Argentina’s Dirty War of the 1980s, Condon marries a textually rich historical and political drama with the flashy technicolor extravagance of an old Hollywood musical.

Jennifer Lopez is an astonishing scene-stealer in a career-highlight performance as Luna/Aurora, with showstopping musical numbers that underscore the exuberant prowess of her dancing and voice. Diego Luna delivers unrelenting revolutionary conviction as Valentín, and Tonatiuh gives his Molina a tenderhearted power and theatrical flair.

Kiss of the Spider Woman is a grounded yet sumptuous spectacle, a masterfully vivacious cinematic experience for our modern times.—Cameron Asharian"



 

Oh, okay, that makes sense! Thank you both. 

Given that Redmayne isn't performing on Monday evenings, will he not be in the first preview? 

Ticket sold.

Des McAnuff's Jesus Christ Superstar played/extended to sold out shows at the Stratford Festival/had acclaim at La Jolla but definitely didn't translate on Broadway — save for Josh Young's performance, eventual Tony nom. 

If it had opened after T***p's presidential win, it would've ran on Broadway for years. 

Sister James would be a perfect showcase for Patsy Ferran. 

Someone mentioned Julia Garner in another thread and now I can't stop thinking about that.

JBroadway said: "I happened to be passing by the theatre again today (just got out of Timon of Athens at TFANA)

There was a sign on the door saying that today’s performance of Medea was cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Anyone know what happened?"

Could be because Bobby Cannavale was in LA for the SAG Awards. 

Stephen Karam posted wrap photos and it appears that June Squibb will be playing Momo. 

Looks like they're handing out two Playbills!



 

I will be there tomorrow. Can't wait!

Golden Globe-winning actor Gillian Anderson (The Fall, The X-Files) has signed on to star as Margo Channing in the Ivo van Hove-helmed stage adaptation of All About Eve in London. Performances will reportedly begin in February 2019 at the Noel Coward Theatre in London.
