Where can I read a thorough synopsis of the play that includes spoilers? 

any wild guesses when this will be available nationwide? 1-2 years?

I really need to point out the really concerning fear mongering around this bill. This bill absolutely does not give doctors the right to refuse life saving emergency medical care based on a person's identity or perceived identity. Trans and gay people are NOT at risk of death by lack of care in a medical emergency based on this bill. This bill is only covering what they call "conscience-based objections" which would be things like abortions and prescribing hormones or doing surgeries. It does not help anyone to make the Florida community fear for their lives in this way. Traveling gay and trans people are not in danger from this bill in Florida. None of this is to say we don't all still want to avoid Florida over this bill or any and all of the other reasons to avoid Florida but we really need to stop this fear mongering over a lie about this bill! Please read the actual bill! https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1580/BillText/Filed/HTML 

You can fight this bill on the basis of what it actually is not on a lie that creates unnecessary fear.

teddy1996 said: "someone in this thread who saw a screening said that they portray shug and celie’s relationship as unambiguously queer"

I'm so glad to hear this!! I watched the preview like 5 times in a row last night. I am so excited for this movie! I think it is going to be amazing!!! Amazing cast and it looks visually stunning. So excited about Fantasia. I hope she wins an Oscar

Does anyone know how the movie is going to handle the Shug/Celie romance? The old movie completely deleted that storyline and I've even talked to some people who walked out of the musical not realizing Celie and Shug were romantic together. Curious how Celie's lesbianism will be handled in 2023

I'm excited about this show!!!

I think the Brit Awards nominations this year are all the evidence we need for not combining the male and female categories. I'd be fine with them adding another category that is open to both sexes. Erasing distinctions by sex is just misogynistic and hurts women.

"It felt like something out of the 1950s."

well it is based on a British musical from 1956

Thanks everyone! House left it is!

Hi all

I am getting tickets to the Hadestown tour and am looking at tickets in the balcony box which is limited view. Just wondering if the left or right is better based on the set and staging. I haven't seen the show before. Thanks!

Seeing Scandalous front row, at the beginning of the second act when Aimee enters she hands roses to a few people in the front row and Carolee handed one to me and I dried it and still have it in a display box.

if you're going to be so passionate about changing other people's behavior couldn't you focus on something worthwhile like racism or rapists? Actors getting anxiety because they're afraid of disappointing people is literally no one's ****ing problem.

"Okay I will say one more thing: ignoring things is MUCH more easier said than done. Just because some people can doesn’t mean others are able to. Doesn’t mean they need to get off these boards :)"

the most chronically online take ever

 

I loved Scandalous. It was glorious.

I'm just so so so so so so so so happy about this happening. It's the most wonderful news. Warms my heart.

LizzieCurry And I know things now, many valuable things, that I hadn't known before. Do not put your faith in Broadwayworld message boards.

I don't joke about the underrepresentation of people of color in the theatre community. It's a very serious issue and it matters. Even when it's just a dumb article on an awful website it matters.

For real. None of you think it's ridiculous that they tried to make a joke about OITNB but only used white actors? Really? No one?
