Observation said: "ClumsyDude15 said: ""UGH! I want Bianca as Madame Morrible so bad."Last time I saw the show the understudy was on, and as far as I could tell she was playing the role as a drag queen, and it absolutely worked.

Now they're putting up a curtain so that we can't watch :(

But does it still censor the word "C****nay"?

I wonder what the audience response would have been like had they released For Good immediately after the first film, rather than waiting a full year.

My vote goes to Whitney and Cissy Houston's recording of "I Know Him So Well"

Ravenclaw said: "So fascinated by the choice to produce a teen production of Caroline,or Change and how the teens are responding to the material."Yeah we've definitely let that slip through the net. Wow.

uncageg said: "The Wiz:Sorry to lose:Who Do You Think You Are? & The TornadoHappy to gain: Emerald City Sequence" Amen! If the Tornado sequence isn't going to be a full disco extravaganza, there better be something amazing to make up for it.

PipingHotPiccolo said: "Jordan Catalano said: "I had totally forgotten Tammy Fay’s act 2 now opens with backstage cameras following Tammy getting ready at a makeup table, and follows her until she’s onstage."I would so so enjoy another show filming their OWN stunt-on-the-street in the frame of Sunset Boulevard's every night." The opening of Act 2 of Gypsy could work quite nicely outdoors.

This production is formally presented as "Opera Australia & GWB Entertainment, by arrangement with THE REALLY USEFUL GROUP" Some context: the theatre in Melbourne that Opera Australia use for their Melbourne seasons is currently closed for refurbishment, and so they are having to try alternative programming and special events at other theatres to try and keep the money coming in. To make things worse, they had expected the refurbishment to begin a year earlier than it did and so have already ...

There's a sort of altar with candles and a dark mass but it's not clear at all what it is, if you didn't already know the details of the story you would be very confused, especially when the undertaker finally appears. But I'd consider that, and most of the production's flaws, to be due to weaknesses in the writing that every director has to fight with.

Yes, ‘Suffering’ was quite uncomfortable. They roll Norma in on trolley and spin her around a lot, but you can’t really tell whether it’s actually her or just a dummy, so when she climbs off at the start of the next scene you almost feel sorry for Sarah having to sit through it.

I’ve just returned from tonight’s performance, and I loved it. An exciting, occasionally bizarre, combination of melodrama and camp.The production design was impressive, with a good amount of spectacle. I lost track of how many costume changes Norma had. Some interesting choreography choices that stand out a bit too much, especially in the final moments. And ‘The Lady’s Paying’ is a bit of a disaster.Sarah Brightman dancing the ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’ is worth the price of admission alone,...

First performance is tomorrow night! Is anyone here making the trip? I've got tickets for Thursday.

In regards to clearly leading actors who are not above the title, if the producers of a show choose not to petition, can the nominating committee make the change anyway? Surely they wouldn’t reward sneaky attempts at ‘category fraud’

So long as there's a rousing production number about peanut allergies, I'm in.

The Forbidden Broadway parody from when it opened was pretty brutal yet spot on, comparing the lyrics of Sun and Moon to that of a Hallmark card.

You'd be amazed how many people rock up to the theatre (or cinema etc.) with absolutely no clue what they're about to see. Also, just because it's a classic, every performance will be someone's introduction to the material.

Interesting that he ignores all the criticism that Jesus Christ Superstar got from all sides back in the day...

I had hoped that the writers would have been able to use this as leverage to get their work (and those of their fellow behind the scenes creatives) actively featured and recognised during the broadcast instead of being hidden in an ad break. Ah well.
