I don't know what shape the script is in. The production I did back in high school (yes, whiter than it should have been) was with the David Henry Hwang script, which I believe came from the tour?

If it weren't for the fact that Elton John is not a quick collaborator and is by his own tongue-in-cheek admission a dying man, I'd say "the way this works is to CHESS it: let's add as much music as we can and push as close to sung-through as we can get this piece."<

So what’s her brand as a star, that can be catered to? I hope you won’t think me crude if I say JLo’s brand is “milf:” she’s not the youngest but is the fittest, hottest and toughest in any room she walks into. She balances high glamour and diva vibes with a gritty down-to-earth side. Like a Nuyorican Auntie Mame. 
 

In fact, that’s my pitch if I were her agent: a new adaptation/reimagining of the Patrick Dennis novels, abou

Whenever people talk about changing perspectives or diminishing returns on either Into the Woods or The Princess Bride, I like to bring up the fact that we're living in a very different world in terms of ethnic culture. The central chunk of those two stories' ethos is the imposition of cultural American Jewishness into the extremely WASP world of the fairy tale canon. 

We're a century from the shtetl and more than half a century from Woody Allen and Lenny Bruce. The ne

He's famous for playing two somewhat problematic, predatory or outright sleazy characters (Mr. Schu and his version of the Grinch). Those are the only real dent he made in public consciousness, and he's long been dogged by rumors that his real life behavior is similar, including the fact that he was allegedly dating the (not-actually-that-much-younger) actress who played the student he had uneasy boundaries with on Glee during the early years.

Personally, I think Morrison is pr

When you do punk rock theatre (I mean the ethos, budget and production style, not the actual musical tone per se), you’re going to have punk rock problems. I’m not excusing or condemning, I’m basically saying “this is what the fringes are like, and now a spotlight is on one particular fringe act in a way that’s basically unprecedented in theatre.”

I can almost guarantee things are exactly the same at your city’s edgiest storefront/black box/que

This whole thing is starting to feel like the season-long B-plot of the theatrical equivalent of "The Morning Show," with Ben Schwartz playing an Andrew-Fox-esque character.

With all the talk about deleted threads and leaked conversations, I was expecting something MUCH more damning, but that call seems like more of the same in terms of the show's marketing and tone... plus the fact that it's from last year and not in regards to the current controversy left me wanting

I'm not going to weigh in much on the politics of casting in these roles. I'm just gonna say that the elevator pitch for this show in its style, content and presentation is "musical Kdrama." So even if it's not something we're legally or ethically obligated to maintain, a primarily Asian cast makes sense creatively. It's part of the aesthetic and the sensibility.

If I were these producers, I'd have the wikipedia page for Kpop Demon Hunters open and I&#
