It looks too slick on a phone screen, but I can guarantee it looks GLORIOUS on the big screen.

You’re misremembering it a bit, which is actually a great thing, because the opening is so much better than what you described. Seriously, guys, the movie will be here in three weeks. Don’t ruin your experience by asking for spoilers.

If you go back to my earlier posts on this thread when the director and leading ladies were announced, you will see that I was very skeptical about every choice that was made by the producers. Some of my posts were downright vicious. I wasn’t impressed by the In the Heights movie and I didn’t think Cynthia and Ariana would work as a pair, so I had to vent about it. Well, I’m happy to admit that I was absolutely wrong. May my earlier posts always remind me not to judge a project before it’s fi...

He did say it was tough for the adults at times.This is about parental narcissism and how we handle it. Nothing more. Yes money can get you anywhere in America but WE buy into it and praise those with it. This is our fault."I get what you’re saying, but if Young Simbas and Nalas on Broadway didn’t know how to sing and dance, kids could theoretically have fun t...

Phantom4ever said: "All North West did was come out and sing along to "I Just Can't Wait to be King". That's all.”I was there and this was rough, to put it politely. I don’t want to blame the girl, because she’s only a child, but this was a professional production at the Hollywood Bowl and the audience paid expensive tickets to see accomplished performers singing those iconic songs, so there’s no excuse to include a girl who isn’t ready for the big game. I felt bad for her, but I also felt ch...

He’s right, though.The current climate is unsustainable in the long run. The greatest works of art wouldn’t exist if the artists had only been allowed to write from their own experience. There’s only so much you can create using only your background (or do we really want a world where every single musical is “A Strange Loop”?). And yes, even minorities deserve to write about different subjects. I’m a Latino artist living in the US and I’m tired of being asked to offer input “from a Latino per...

BarnabyTucker said: "Here is my pitch for how a few loose threads could have been pulled together:We establish in the beginning that everyone in the kingdom is naturally beautiful. We keep the line how the Queen is so beautiful that we don't even know how old she is. (I know on the West End everyone went to see Godmother for plastic surgery but here we drop that.)We have the Queen/Stepmother scene where they're trading quips and, at the end of the number, the Stepmother whispers something in ...

Ke3 said: "Carrie Hope Fletcher uploaded a youtube video today, and based on it, I don’t think she’s coming over with the show. She mentioned she’s been auditioning for a lot of stuff that would start this fall/next spring. Makes sense though, isn’t Sarah Brightman the only time Andrew has kept the same lead from London to Broadway?"Michael Crawford and Steve Barton came over with Phantom too. Michael Ball, Ann Crumb, Kevin Colson and Kathleen Rowe McAllen came over with Aspects of Love. Mari...

With the mediocre Jon M. Chu at the helm I was expecting this movie to be bad, but it’s going to be much, much worse.

No one is saying that people are only allowed to play themselves.Yes, that’s exactly what you are saying.…this is what the general trend indicates…According to you and a vocal minority on social media.For the record, I’m an immigrant POC gay man. I tick many minority boxes and I’m fed up with so-called allies trying to cancel artistic endeavors using people like me as an excuse. You’re causing more harm than good. No art can survive in this climate of persecution. Art should be free, brave an...

I agree with you 100%, BrodyFosse123. I was expecting to hate it and ended up loving it. And I’m not even a fan of the stage version!

Scarywarhol said: "Neither Cruella or A Quiet Place 2 were available for free to anyone with an HBO Max sub or a friend/family member with a login. And new data published in Variety indicates that AT&T, who made the shockingly poor decision to release WB's whole slate straight to streaming, were lying that the ITH box office numbers reflect the streaming reception. A lot of people are watching and nobody wants to own what a short-sighted decision this was."Why is it so difficult for some peop...

Jimmy’s death by overdose in the movie created some controversy at the time. Maybe that’s what she was taking about.

It flopped on HBO Max too.http://deadline.com/2021/06/in-the-heights-hbo-max-viewership-box-office-opening-1234774865/http://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/in-the-heights-box-office-hbo-max-1234995410/It’s easy to blame the marketing (which was HUGE) and the day-and-date release strategy, but the truth is that audiences largely ignored it, even HBO Max subscribers. It’s a flop. End of story. Expect Warner to downplay the ads this week to cut their losses and call it a day.
