Once Upon a One More Time

Shocked that, even with 6 nominees, somehow both Ricky Ubeda and Paul Alexander Nolan missed Featured Actor in a Musical.

I'm not as surprised by these nominees, overall, as everyone else seems to be, but seeing them all next to each other, I feel like the winners will be almost impossible to predict.

Yeah, they got some fine pull quotes that will look great blown up on billboards and on the side of the theatre.

Hell, they could probably sell more than a few seats just with the Washington Post quote that "your English teacher would hate this."

Kenny Leon has directed The Wiz several times, including the NBC live adaptation, which was well-received.

"Based on another novel that has outlived its time and now sits gathering dust on the shelves of libraries on the verge of extinction..."

This is a gross but hysterically un-self aware statement for an 85 year-old theatre critic to make.

lol

And it's Pedretti​​​​​

He just loves to fire up his base of teenage girls who have never come within 30 miles of Manhattan.

I assume, based on that artwork, that James Monroe Iglehart is transferring.

It's an adaptation; they can give her one.

It's expanding to more theatres in the coming weeks.

"As good as a drag queen would have been in this, I don't think Disney was ready to put a drag performer into this expensive film, much less in the role of a villain telling a "normal" mermaid how to change her body and appearance."

lol so instead they have a white woman literally stealing a Black woman's voice

I could only see the bottom of the stairs that go up from the mezz, house right row C seat 12.

All that said, it didn't take away from the show or make me feel I missed anything.
 

Has anyone won the lottery for this? If so, how were the seats? I know this theatre has some really, REALLY bad sightlines, so just wondering if they're pawning off some of the seats where you can't see 90% of the stage for that or if those are reserved for rush.

Is this different from the musical Bruce?

verywellthensigh said: "Network, Elling, Festen, The Graduate, Misery, A Time To Kill, Dead Poets Society...New York theater and American theater in general doesn't really go for straight play adaptations of products that most people know from film."

Network got great reviews and recouped, so I'm not sure why that's on this list.The only other success I could think of is The 39 Steps.
