Ha! Thanks for the levity everyone. We had tickets for Friday night, and I'm thinking this thread may have been more entertaining!

I'm Asian-American and I know what Cary Grant looked like. Casting, say, an Asian-American as Cary Grant wouldn't seem radical to me. It would seem like pandering. I don't need to be pandered to, and I'd really rather not picture producers patting themselves on the back by pretending they did something radical by deliberately casting against type.
There are plenty of Broadway parts where casting a white or not white actor wouldn't matter, but a 20th century mat

It was delightful. My husband has already said he wants to watch it enough times to have the songs memorized.

"'FOSSE/VERDON' COMING TO FX" Feb 13

Thanks. I'm actually relieve to hear this angle. It circumvents the issues of so many biopics that try to cram too many events into the time it takes for a movie/TV show.

Sunday In The Park With George @ SF Playhouse Aug 18

Wayman_Wong said: "I saw the original ''Sunday in the Park With George'' on Broadway many, many times, starring Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters, and their PBS filming and 1994 reunion concert. Plus, the meh Menier Chocolate Factory version and 2017's radiant revival, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford. I know the show so well, frankly, I was tempted to skip the S.F. Playhouse production, but I'm glad I didn't. I doubt anyone will ever trul

Sunday In The Park With George @ SF Playhouse Aug 18

Thanks for the reviews. I might give it a chance then. They did a terrible casting job with "Into the Woods" and then after I saw their "Promises, Promises" I vowed I'd never see another musical there again. Since "Sunday" is my favorite musical I've been torn between wanting to see it and worried they'd botch it.

'The Wedding Singer' Jul 3

I never saw it on stage, either, but it's definitely my guilty pleasure cast album. The songs are infectious, clever, and original. They especially stand out compared to many of the current lighter Broadway shows, where the music all sounds derivative.

I can't imagine seeing Part 2 without first seeing Part 1. They're not stand-alone stories.

Straight men playing gay men Jun 7

SonofRobbieJ said: "It stuns me that people on this board don't understand why it would be important for gay actors to play gay roles."
I'm not gay, but I suspect I'm older than many of you, and like SonofRobbieJ I'm floored that there seems to be such blithe disregard of the historical precedents that would make the idea of casting non-gay actors in gay roles problematic. Even though there have been great inroads, the subtext that it's okay

I was also baffled when I heard the news. It can be done without the nudity, but they'd have to cut both "Sodomy" and "Colored Spade" methinks.

Question for those who have seen a production of Caroline, or Change Mar 29

When I saw it in San Francisco, it definitely did not come across as funny to the audience.

It's a shame. The actual events are so interesting. I wish they hadn't succumbed to usual impulse to stuff shows with the usual stock characters and simplistic conflicts. Is it too much to ask to have a story that's closer to the complexity of real life?
