Artificial Intelligence in the Theatre
 Aug 24 2023, 08:12:07 PM

I freaked out and thought this was about Steven Spielberg’s “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” being adapted for the stage. 


Beanie Feldstein Departing FUNNY GIRL on July 31 (Two Months Earlier Than Originally Announced)

Funny Girl, or, The Revival of the Musical Sensation in 2022 and The Mess That Followed 


Artwork That Never Was

I think this was the pre-broadway poster for Wicked??? Might have given away too much of the plot.

- NYTimes did a profile of James McMullan about his posters for Lincoln Center Theatre, including a fascinating development of "The King and I"

- David Edward Byrd chronicles a few of his poster designs including "Follies" on his website.

- In the "Miss Saigon" documentary theres a section where Cameron Mackintosh talks to Russ Eglin about his logo/poster design for the show.


Broadway Musicals that Deserve Film Adaptations or Remakes?
 Jun 16 2020, 01:47:23 PM

“Miss Saigon” - if done and adapted right could be an Oscar contender

“The Color Purple” - would be a great TV movie...maybe two parter.

“Carousel” - remake would be great

“Hello, Dolly!” - TV movie with Bette Midler would be amaaaazing.

Oh god with a simple post title like that I thought she tweeted something controversial and she’s the next one to be cancelled. 

She’s underrated!


Lea Michele Is A Good Person

Cue follow up non-apology tweet/post/video saying it was not her intention to hurt people / it was the actions of her youth / she has grown from her experiences / promises to do better, with an attached monetary donation. It’s getting predictable at this point.

PLAYBILL Covers of the 2019-2020 Season
 Sep 9 2019, 01:28:29 PM

Still confused about the actual name for the Helen Hayes Theatre. Second Stage website, Wikipedia, and the playbill for Lobby Hero have it as the Hayes Theater. Subsequent playbills and Playbill.com have it as the Helen Hayes Theater.


Phantom ticket 'scam'?

DoTheDood said: "So in theory, a show could sell a single $1 in the very back of the theater for a single night with ever new block of tickets and be able to blaster "$1 ticket available" on their advertising? Sounds like an episode of "Nathan For You""

This does happen in other industries, for example Megabus always advertises their $1 seats, which does exist and in limited quantity, just to entice people to buy. 


Leading Roles that Don’t Sing Much
 Aug 8 2019, 08:47:27 PM

Julian Marsh from 42nd Street? Or is he more of a featured role?

I’m tempted to say Fantine and Grizabella, though I know they’re featured, I feel their iconic status/songs often propel them to above the title credits for their actors.


What performance(s) do you wish there were archive/bootleg footage of that you’ve never been able to find?
 Aug 2 2019, 09:08:35 PM

1993 revival of My Fair Lady with Melissa Errico. All I’ve seen is Wouldn’t It Be Loverly from the thanksgiving (?) parade.


Eliza? - My Fair Lady Revival 2018
 Jul 9 2019, 12:19:52 PM

Did anyone see Shereen Ahmed as Eliza? If so how was she?


What show should the palace theatre reopen with in 2021
 Feb 18 2019, 05:36:45 PM

The long awaited revival of “Funny Girl” would be wonderful.

I want to like Ken Fallin's caricatures, but I dont

Goodness that rendering of her hair is unsettling. It looks like a cross between a brillo pad and....lower body hair.

ScottyDoesn'tKnow2 said: "Harry Hadden-Paton's hair piece looks thicker than before."

 

It flopped around more than usual. Also was he wearing fangs during curtain call? Cute!
