I have to think New York housing costs are a pretty strong motivator.

I'm guessing this is a parody. There was a reading of a musical adaptation 9 years ago that had a book and lyrics by Christina Crawford, but that didn't go anywhere.

The only way this story would ever work on stage is if you lean as hard as you can into it's camp reputation, which I'm guessing Christina Crawford will never allow.

Apparently filming is imminent, as Lin just posted pictures of set construction on Instagram.

This might have one of the worst opening numbers I've ever heard. The guy who wrote Magic To Do, No One Mourns The Wicked, and Deliver Us should not be physically capable of writing a number this bad.

Is Morrison really so disliked as to justify this weird turn of phrase?"

For the record, the SYTYCD thing is not true. He sent a DM to a dancer on the show to get her a job as a choreographer. Still unprofessional and inappropriate, but more due to showing favoritism than being flirty or harassing.

If I had infinite Hamilton and Encanto money, I would also be forcing my musical hyper-fixations on the world. He's just like me 🥲

Very much looking forward to this movie absolutely ruling my life.

"Your goyim friends have been agog / since they left the synagogue / drunk on schnapps and in a fog" is way too good of a lyric to never be heard on a Broadway stage again.

Expecting a baby, apparently.

When I heard Jack O'Brien got cast this season, I assumed he'd be playing himself, directing Valerie in a play or something. Was delighted to see him playing a full character. Hopefully he keeps popping up this season.

More funding to the arts is never going to be a bad thing, but the article brought up a good point: why are Lion King and Aladdin, two shows produced by the most lucrative and powerful entertainment company on the planet, getting the full $3 million credit?

If the Oracle is to be believed, there was a revival of The Goat with Steve Carell and Sarah Paulson that fell through.

I've been saying for years that Ari Aster needs to direct this if it ever happens.

I discovered workshop clips of this show right after A Strange Loop came out, and have been fascinated with it ever since. I even bought the published libretto that just came out, something I rarely do with shows this new. I love how daring Jackson and Jacobs were with the adaptation. They went in a really different direction than the movie and made it their own thing, something I wish more movie-to-musical adaptations would do.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "I don't mean this as a slight, but is Ariana DeBose a household name?

I think there is no such thing as "household name" anymore.

Just an aside."

As a society, we moved on from "Angela Bassett did the thing" far too quickly.

It's one of two theaters owned by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Interested to see how this will work on stage. The beach scene in the movie is one of the most stunning sequences in all of film, shame to see a version of the story that doesn't have that.

Isn't Jeremy Jordan going into Just In Time?
