The Connector isn’t transferring.


and re: Suffs- Emma Goldman is not a large role. Taub will only need to take the weeks of Ragtime off."

She also played Emma Goldman in a concert on Ellis Island back in 2016.

Jukebox musicals are bad enough, but Jukebox musicals based on popular movies are the death of musical theatre. They bring exactly nothing new into the world but demand money and attention as if they did.

We were all wrong. A Concert at Carnegie Hall in October with a 22-piece orchestra.

 

I must admit, that is pretty huge.

Mrs. Doubtfire: O'Farrell and the Kirkpatrick Bros struck gold with Something Rotten, and Doubtfire should have been a slam dunk. It's the perfect material to musicalize, and the result was just so bland.

EDSOSLO858 said: "Unrelated to this album, but I wanted to post here: as I explained before, Jason Howland just MD'ed and orchestrated the score for this year's Macy's FOJ fireworks that recently concluded (and he did some fantastic work). For those who may not have noticed, or perhaps were watching the display in person, most of the backup singers have collaborated with Howland on Broadway before, some multiple times:

Based on what?"

I remember hearing that they made a deal with Apple after producing the proshot of Come From Away.

"

Oops, got my British writers named Nick confused. Just fixed it.

The Chris Jones piece says that there was an earlier incarnation of this show that had a book by "the late Alfred Uhry".

The late? Did I miss something?

All right, this has all been a very funny practical joke, now where's the real Gatsby musical that people are paying $300 a ticket for?

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Oh dear, the complaints abovegive me flashbacks to the townsfolk in BRIDGES (which we all blamed on Sher and Marsha Norman but maybe JRB deserves a slap on the wrist for that too)."

JRB said that he always envisioned that show as an octet, and the ensemble was added by Sher, so I think he gets a pass.

Here's a friendly reminder that they'll stop making these lazy shows as soon as you stop buying tickets to see them.

This album sounds like they let JRB lock himself in a studio and go full JRB, in the best possible way. Some of those piano licks on Cassandra are breathtaking.

 

This one's definitely getting a lot more airtime from me.

I have siblings/cousins in and just out of high school, in a fairly progressive suburb of Chicago. The idea that parents are just openly letting their kids have sex in the home (whatever that means) any more than they have in the past is utterly divorced from reality.

All the discussion about Jewishness is overshadowing the bigger elephant in the room, which is age.

Jamie and Cathy are supposed to range in age from 23 to 28. When this show opens next year, Jonas is going to be 32 and Warren is going to be 38. Are they going to age up the characters? Modernize the story (at least in the sense that people don't get married in their mid-twenties that much anymore).

The Outsiders won Best Musical without winning Best Book, Best Score, or any acting award. The last time that happened was Fosse in 1999.
