That is an insane slip-up assuming it wasn't intentional. 

I totally forgot Jenn Colella was in it! I think somewhere on an old harddrive I miiiiiiiiiight have a bootleg recording of it but I haven't sorted through my old bootleg files in many years and I'm not sure I even have any of them anymore. 

I'm talking about the off-broadway musical that played at the Little Shubert. It starred Varla Jean Merman, Leslie Jordan, and Kyle Dean Massey. https://playbill.com/article/lucky-guy-starring-kyle-dean-massey-leslie-jordan-and-varla-jean-merman-begins-crooning-in-nyc-com-178650

I loved this musical so much! I think I even saw it twice in the short run. I'm still so sad they didn't make a recording. Every once in a while I think about the show and feel sad it was such a quick blip and hasn't had any enduring cult fanbase. I feel like it could be revived now and maybe a current audience might appreciate it more. Does anyone know if it is licensed or if any theatres have staged productions? 

What time period/era is Katie's Dolly supposed to represent? The wig doesn't look full enough on the bottom half, but it is pretty similar to how Dolly's wigs have been in recent years. And also, let's be real, the breasts are not the right proportion. Dolly has an iconic silhouette that is pretty intrinsic to her brand. I did not need to open that link to know exactly what was being referenced lol I honestly think if they padded her breasts more she'd look less like our martian friend

I'd love to see Cole play ALL the parts in Rocky Horror a la Cher's West Side Story

I would really love to see Passing Strange get a revival. One of the most impactful theatre experienced I ever had. I'd love to see Daniel Breaker play Narrator. It would be such a full circle moment!!

This is the silliest take from this whole thread.

it's heinous!!!! but knowing what we know about BWW in general this whole website will be AI very shortly.

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.

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
