Rob Marshall to direct new film adaptation of GUYS & DOLLS
Sep 24
2024, 06:46:39 PM
ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Marshall's Oscar creds are 20 years old at this point and he hasn't made anything remotely Oscar-friendly (in major categories) since then, but actors do seem to like working with him. Marshall legitimizes this no more than Bill Condon, who was previously attached for years and couldn't get it made."
Two of the four Oscar nominated films Marshall has made since Chicago received nominations in major categories.

ACL2006 said: "It's a bit odd for the tour to be playing in Red Bank, NJ the week of Nov. 19. Not sure if the tour is equity or non-equity. Tour tickets are usually much cheaper."
It's non-Equity. Still weird they're allowing the productions to overlap

lol I don't think there's anything "wild" about releasing a family animated film on your streaming service at Thanksgiving.

quizking101 said: "Do we think this might actually happen after the sudden cancellation of DEATH DROP?"
I'm still holding out hope we get Death Drop at some point, but this has dates announced and tickets already on sale, so it's much further along than Death Drop ever got.
For anyone interested, code DGAFAN24 is good through Sunday for $47 mezzanine tickets (and some other discounted orchestra seats) for all of previews.

I dunno, sounds like micro aggressions now.
Maybe that’s an angle they’re going for?
Maybe Jason is changing some lyrics?"
It's not a micro aggression. It's an aggression, regardless of race, full stop. And that's the point. Jamie is being awful to her in that moment, as couples sometimes are. This isn't some random cow

ATG is one of the producers, so the Hudson seems like the strongest possibility after Mattress closes, unless one of the long-running shows at a Jujamcyn theatre is closing by the end of the year.

There are schools that don't even teach the Holocaust and you wanna know why they aren't using Finishing the Hat as a textbook?

BEN PLATT: LIVE AT THE PALACE Thread

I guess the rules against attacking performers are being selectively enforced again.
I will never understand the level of boredom or delusion or whatever you want to call it that drives anyone to seek out threads here about people or shows they don't like with the express purposes of being vitriolic. Read a book. Go to a movie. Talk about something you actually enjoy. It's exhausting to read your troll posts when we're trying to get reviews, suggestions, and information

No one asked, and they don't need your close-minded money.
I was there this week, and the show was not only sold out, but the entire audience was clearly there for Jinkx. But they're also so respectful of the other performers and uplifting them in a way I'v

What is the worst production you have ever seen on Broadway? What is the worst show?

ryandk2 said: "Worst shows I've seen in the last 27 years:
The Goat or Who is Sylvia?: I so desperately wanted to leave, but I was in the middle of the row and there was no intermission.
Gypsy: Patti LuPone was just horrible to see in person. She can't sing -- just screeched the whole time -- and was shouting her lines the whole time. So painful!
The Humans andThe Band's Visit: Lots of hype, but just so boring."

The 77th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2024
Apr 30
2024, 09:20:43 AM
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.

HenryTDobson said: "These reviews are actually not as terrible as I was expecting. So yay for low expectations?"
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."

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Wish we lived in an alternate reality where this was directed by Robert O'Hara or Camille Brown or Whitney White or George Wolfe. Even Kenny Leon (historically bad with musicals) would have been better!"
Kenny Leon has directed The Wiz several times, including the NBC live adaptation, which was well-received.

I sincerely hope this misses out on a Tony nom for Best Revival."

I will never understand the ire this board had and continues to have for Water for Elephants and its positive critical reception. It's not like Green was the only person who liked it; they got only one negative review. People like it. Why does it get b

"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.
