But I think this could find some success on Broadway."Count me in as another gay man who would see this in a heartbeat. TLC's music is woven into the fabric that is the soundtrack of my young adulthood.

Jarethan said: If she is successful as Maria, why would she want to play Deena? Sheryl Lee Ralph was as good as anyone can be in that role, but she got nominated for a Tony only because there were not enough good candidates to fill the slots. It is a featured role. To go from Betty Boop to Maria to Deena just does not sound like good career planning for me. Of course, I will also acknowledge that there are not as many musical roles as there were in early decades, so that may be a reason to co...

It won the Evening Standard Best Musicalaward the year it premieredand was a smash hit all over London. A massive hit in Austraila and other countries. A sell-out in L.A. It didn't do well...

Hmmm, kind of on the fence about Woods as "Sally Bowles", her "Louise/Gypsy" left a lot to be desired. I would rather see Rachel Zegler in the part.

I do have a right to voice my opinion on a public internet forum - and I did. Sorry, not sorry you're triggered.

I'm with Chris Peterson
