How's JC Superstar doing? Last I heard, he was dead. But there was this rumor of a zombie incident on Easter, but that's still unconfirmed. So the official word is - he's dead.

"(Sorry, but Julia Roberts can't act. And I remember thinking her epileptic and Sally's "Drink your juice, Shelby" were funny when they shouldn't have been.) I won't get in to a discussion of Ms. Roberts' acting chops. BUT you should know that Shelby is not epileptic. Shelby was diabetic. You don't get a kidney transplant for epilepsy.

"It's not a cult. It's a Religion. ~ Mitt Romney That's the best Mormon quote I know. OOOOOH, MERMAN. Umm, never mind.

What to wear to the non-Union tour of South Pacific? Hmm.....how about a t-shirt that states you think it's wrong that you just paid the same price for your ticket to see the non-Union production as the producers charged for the Union production, yet the performers and crew work for less salary, less benefits and less per diem? You don't know anyone in the audience. So why worry about what they think of how you are dressed? Meanwhile - Your friend would appreciate your T-shirt of support for ...

Native Neverlanders don't have a problem with the depiction of their language in the musical Peter Pan since they don't exist. The characters are also not "Native Americans" since the story takes place in Neverland and not America. It is also told by British children not American children. So if anyone would have a right to be "offended" shouldn't it be Native Brits or Native Neverlanders? If you can suspend belief that the ancient looking Cathy Rigby is a young boy that can fly maybe people ...

Who would be your dream cast for "Julie Taymor vs. Spider-Man"? And how many pairs of shoes will the Julie Taymor character have to wear in order for her to enter the same astral plane as Spider-Man?

People also don't fly or break out in to spontaneous song and dance. Boys do grow up. Pixies don't need you to clap for them to live, since they don't actually exist. If you can suspend belief to live in the world of Peter Pan where all those things happen - then you should be able to understand that "Injuns" do speakum that wayum even if there are no such people as "Injuns".

"Sorry, but I have to blame Sondheim." You must mean Thank Sondheim. The blame goes with the director thinking that she is better than the material.

MikeM "It will be interesting to see if ticketbuyers get refunds for upcoming shows that they are unable to attend because of states of emergency, flight cancellations, road closures, etc. " If the show actually takes place, the producers are not required to give you a refund just because you couldn't get to the theatre i.e. flight cancellation, road closure etc. It will all depend on how each producer chooses to handle it, but legally if the ticket was sold and the show takes place I've neve...

nomdeplume - It is not the subject matter that is repulsive. It is this phyllis person's actual words that a violation of the terms of use of this website. No 'obscene words'?? Really? Well, trust me, even on a news story you cannot say "..stuck his adult dick in ..." It's street, it's trash, it's beneath the standards of the board. Don't waste your time trying to defend her or her post...it is simply and blatantly WRONG. She blatantly violated the terms of the website. Her post and her accou...

Phyllis rogers.....wrote "Posted On:8/20/11 at 05:51 Since in this case "holier than thou" means NOT having stuck one's adult dick in a teenager's mouth, I can only hope that that's a pretty strong chorus. HOW IS THIS MESSAGE STILL UP ON THIS BOARD!! WHY is this person still allowed to write ANY message! Violation of Terms of Service is a mild understatement! This was supposed to be a 'family' board. Many minors and underage children read this board. it takes a lot to offend me....but this ju...

AC there was controversy was he was in TOTC. Phyllis - he was continued to be punished because as an actor he needs to go to where the job is. He was unable to leave the state for a period of time as part of his parole. It limited his chances of employment leaving him with shows at Sardi's. Were you at Jayne Eyre when the incident occurred? Did you see the woman on the day of the incident? Trust me, no one thought she was anything less than 20. She was the one that sought him out. She was the...

Don't you have to be sold out in order to ONLY have Standing Room available to sell and call it "Standing Room Only" tickets?

I like how everyone is discussing the illegal activity of pirating a recording of a Broadway show as if it's all just a nice thing that people do to share with the actors in the show. eBay and other sources are selling these illegal recordings. These recordings are a dual edged sword. Sure they are a nice memory of a live performance. However, they are being sold at the same time that a show is running. They are allowing people to see a show without actually paying the performers of the show ...

:..i think many people may be turned off by the gay overtones..." Overtones?!! The story is about two gay men and a tranny. That's not exactly an "overtone". It's the actual tone.

Bette's name has not been above the title on the marquee until now. Considering it's so far down the poster and in such small type I can't see how it's going to help the show. People in front of the theatre last night didn't even notice her name until I pointed it out to them. It's also interesting that they chose a photo that most people say is "2 boys and some blonde woman." Asked a few what they thought the show was about - "Some mom from the 50's and her 2 sons. The gay one likes Barbie b...

Ever seen The Far Side cartoon where the Stage Manager is in front of the curtain telling the audience - "At tonight's performance the character you've never heard of before, usually played by an actor you've never heard of before, will be played by a different actor you've never heard of before." Doesn't matter who either actor is. The audience expects to see the actual cast that is hired to do the show. If these "fans" of the show are "fans" they'd get it. So this Aaron guy decides to not d...

I had to click on this to read. The title of the thread was fresh, new, and extremely interesting. I really wasn't sure what people's comments were going to be on a topic that I thought said "The Awkward Moment when the Understudy is BITTER." I was intrigued to hear stories of jaded, bitter understudies.

You want to separate the "show" from the "production"? Ok. Then don't blatantly try to confuse the public into thinking they are going to see the original "production" by using the same logo and artwork of the original production. The logo is being used with the intent to sell tickets to people thinking they will see the original "production" and "show". The logo even carries with it the tag phrase of "Returns" as in "Rent - RETURNS July 14." Not "Rent - Re-imagined Starts July 14." For those...

And a Standing Ovation for best12bars!!!
