Hilty & Simard to lead DEATH BECOMES HER in Chicago spring 2024 May 6

I’m just starved for a good original score with good lyrics. I hope this show delivers that. With the cast and source material, I’m really rooting for it to succeed.

Lempicka false advertising Apr 20
2024, 11:43:48 PM
The deceptive quoting is definitely an issue and something I’ve only grown to despise more in this age of increased misinformation. And while Lempicka is far from the first show to do it, it’s not surprising it’s getting extra attention considering the discourse around the reviews. Plus the ad featuring the dishonest pull quotes is very obviously trying to play off of said discourse, so it just draws more attention to the fact that they’re deceptive. I r

FOLLIES at Carnegie Hall Apr 19

How exciting! This could go so many ways. My guesses are:
Klea Blackhurst - “Broadway Baby”
Harolyn Blackwell - “One More Kiss”
Norbert Leo Butz - “Buddy’s Blues”
Len Cariou - “The Road You Didn’t Take”
Carolee Carmello - “I’m Still Here”
Christine Ebersole - “In Buddy’s Eyes”
Santino Fontana - “The Right Girl”
Jennifer Holliday -

I’d love for Santino Fontana to get another crack at it.

Cabaret stunt casting Apr 13

I haven’t seen this Cabaret so I’m not sure how she’d fit into this specific production’s vision, but I think Lindsay Lohan would truly be perfect casting for Sally.

I think that’s great casting! Wish it was more than just a voice role, but he’ll be great nonetheless.

TBFL said: "How do you know he's not a humanoid lion from the front? lol All of the characters/costumes in that shot are just slightly different from the 1939 version that everyone knows. You recognise them, but they're not the same. Basically they were not paying for licence to be able to copy the costumes. From the back, Bert Lahr's costume was the most realistic, even using real lion hair in it. To make it different for the film, they couldn't go backwards, as it w

Titanic Musical Based on Movie 1997 Mar 31
2024, 11:57:03 PM
I’m curious why the OP thinks a musical based on the film Titanic would be immune to the issues they pointed out in other new Broadway offerings (weak scores, cheap production values, etc.). Great source material is not what Broadway is missing right now. If it were that easy/affordable/marketable/trendy to just whip up a great score and dazzling visuals, don’t you think every show would have those?

If the brief shot of the lion in the teaser is any indication, Dillamond will be a literal goat instead of a humanoid goat

Well they did just do a run at Paper Mill. I can’t imagine they’re changing that much (unfortunately). He’ll be fine.

No it isn't."
I know I’m responding to a 3 year old post and I’m probably preaching to the choir. But for the record, it most certainly is stated that they are 49. They talk about how they were 19 when they were all together last 30 years prior and Sally explicitly says, “I’m 49 years old.&rdqu

Glad to hear the runtimes for the movies won’t be bloated. I hope that’s true. Few films earn the right to be longer than 90 minutes, in my opinion.

I just started listening to her memoir! It’s going to hit very differently going forward. RIP to one of the greatest Broadway stars of all time. If there was a Mount Rushmore of Broadway, she’d be up there.

According to Bowen, they wrapped this past week."
It sounded to me more like he wrapped, not filming in general. But I might have misunderstood
