His career isnowhere near the level of those people, but if I was thinking of hiring him for something I'd think twice now.
I'm sure Woke Twitter (who already dislikes RR)will have a field day in 3...2..."

FROZEN closes on Broadway May 15

KKeller6 said: "I feel like whenever Broadway does reopen, will we have 30+shows running at a time for awhile? Or will we have, say 15 or so for maybe years? Just a feeling."
I feel either won't matter much if attendance is low. Although I could be wrong. Shows could be packed if they reopened in Sept, but who knows.

MJ THE MUSICAL CASTING Nov 21

ModernMillie3 said: "Michael Jackson was a black man. Why would Ephraimbe an "odd choice"?
Wonderful casting, very excited for this one."
It's odd to me because vocally I don't see the similarities between the two. Unless Ephraim has a higher register that I just haven't heard yet.

darquegk said: "I wonder if they're deliberately"Atlanta-ing" Jackson by casting Sykes. In Donald Glover's TV show, Justin Bieber was portrayed incongruously as a young black man to make a point about the way Bieber exists in society and how he would be viewed differently if he were black.
Perhaps part of Nottage's concept is portraying Jackson in a way that reminds us that he was a black man, not the raceless, sexless "alien being" with a c

Wouldn’t be surprised if ABC/Disney gave her a one week paid suspension. Deservedly so. I think anchors are becoming more aware of what they say and how vast their audiences are now. Before, all they had to offend was white stay at home mothers. Now that you can watch GMA on twitter(which is where I

As for the racism argument- I am sick of hearing about it already. Such a thing as color counting fatigue - how many Latinos- how many gays, how many blacks- it becomes too much a focal point- there is undeniably, in my opinion, a lot of diversity in theater today- and show business is a business- after all. For me, it dilutes the real issue of racism to OVER-use the victimization argument - ATP did not win because, in my opinion, it was not all that creative o

upinlights said: "Saw this a few nights ago at a screening at my college... I didn't like it, and neither did most of the people there. The music is phenomenal, and several scenes are so aesthetically stunning that it's incredible. Plot was predictable and boring, dialogue was confusing, and I wasn't a fan of the montage used to develop a lot of their relationship (not a spoiler). Saw it for Gaga, will download soundtrack for Gaga, but overall, I was underwhelmed.&qu

How much longer does SUMMER have? Sep 8
2018, 02:29:32 PM
I've actually had some interest in the show lately. How does it compare to Beautiful? Also, is rushing the show pretty easy?
I've heard that the show may be closing by the year's end. Isn't the show only selling like 60-70% capacity? Not sure if the show is still gaining a surplus even with that though.

Eating in the theatre. Thoughts? Sep 8
2018, 02:21:37 PM
I noticed the Imperial sells candy and whatnot before the show, and I've always been puzzled by that. They basically encourage people to eat from loud candy wrappings.
There was also a person next to me at Hello Dolly who was terribly loud while sucking their mints... They also had the loudest breaths coming from their nose... I may be too picky on that one, but still.

You mean like with Hamilton when it was necessary to give a shout out to Pence?

Unjudge, because you're in for a BIG surprise, music wise.

There's already been a large group of people who have seen the film from Spielberg, Sean Penn, Barbara, and mostly critics/fans for early test screenings.

Sending Fanmail and getting back playbills. Aug 29
2018, 10:42:36 PM
I've only sent in a letter once but never a Playbill. What usually happens? Can I get my Playbill signed by specific cast members? Is there a chance I'll never get my playbill back again? Or get it back with no signatures? haha sorry for all the questions. I was thinking of sending my Playbill to the Carousel company as Joshua never came out to greet fans.

Max is awesome. I loved his vlogs when he was at An American in Paris. I ended up sending him a letter and he sent me a nice message on social media. I also got to meet him at the Stagedoor and he was equally as charming. Such a cool guy and experience.   Is Stubhub a reliable source to buy tickets from? Apr 10
2017, 09:57:58 AM
I would also suggest, that if they tickets you buy are "pick up only" at the Stubhub center, then go early. You never know what delays might happen. But at least the Stubhub center is close to TS and the theaters.
