Profile for NOWaWarning

While I agree that the content of the show has next to nothing to do with school shootings, I can see the OP's point. Risk-averse producers might be squeamish about mounting a show with "gun" in the title when mass shootings are so common. Not that it would matter to everybody, but I could imagine feeling a bit weird sitting down for a show where guns are so prominent on the heels of a major act of gun violence.

I would guess they’re referring to, “I think he takes out on me what he wants to take out on you.”

Why is Glinda standing on the edge of a balcony ?"

It’s an homage to Jenny in Forrest Gump. Jokes aside, I agree there’s no way either film would be rated above PG. Nothing in the stage show would warrant a PG-13 rating and the tone and marketing are clearly aiming at a broad, family-friendly audience. 

His praises are definitely under sung and I think he’s written some of the most beautiful music for the theatre. Love Can’t Happen from Grand Hotel immediately came to mind. I also have a soft spot for Simple from Nine. The list goes on and on

Sierra’s Mister Snow is pretty perfect, in my opinion.

I read this too fast and thought Fantasia Barrino was stepping into Wicked

It's definitely possible, but she's unfortunately not enough of a draw for a starring role at this point. I could see her doing a stint as Morrible or something at that level.

What Mendes revival? The Broadway revival was directed by David Leveaux if that's the production you're referring to.

 

I've loved this series. I hope Playbill keeps it up.

My guess was Kuhn since she has the Tesori connection, but Carmello is thrilling casting! I can’t wait to hear her sing this score

Right?! And imagine her Happily Ever After!

 

Someone on Twitter said Gasteyer should also stand by for Winnifred and now I can’t get that out of my head. She’d be sensational, but she’ll kill it as the Queen as well.

Jordan Catalano said: "I think they thought Erivo would be a MUCH bigger draw and justify those stupid ticket prices."

It also doesn't help that she's in a one-song supporting role and you can watch her singing it on YouTube for free.

 

And the contract has been signed?

As much as everyone loved this, hasn’t the buzz died down? Seems unlikely for a transfer a year or two later, no?

I was watching clips from the Live from Lincoln Center Passion the other day and it got me thinking about how nice a reunion would be with Cerveris and Audra. 

This is one of my favorite movies and I think it could make a great musical, but I’m so disappointed to hear they’re not going to write an original score.
