Raul will make a perfect Leontes.  And with Daniel Sullivan directing, I think this will be a Winter's Tale to remember. 

It just wasn't a good marriage of singer and song.  Her heavy vibrato was all wrong for the number and smooshed it's simplicity.  Coupled with the no-show of anything else in the moment (Dancing?  Anything??) made for kind of a no win situation all around. 

I love Three Days of Rain but it's such a delicate piece, it really needs to be done off-Broadway.

Oh, and why aren't we re-examining Greenberg's other plays?  The Dazzle and especially The Violet Hour deserve their due.

Which was adapted into the very good film Sister, My Sister, which was on Tubi not long ago.

A while back it was one of the most oft-produced musicals in the States.  

It's not the musical because...you know...why?  But FYI David Foster and his bimbo bride just did a benefit performance to fundraise for Spencer Pratt.

It's a sad day for bitchy disdain.  

Well, that does it.  I'm going to book a flight to Japan for the sole purpose of boycotting this production.

Take THAT, wokies!

Not long ago, an Amazon worker died on the floor of a warehouse and his co-workers were told not to tend to him because they're supposed to be working.  

This is the kind of thing the Met Gala and Sam Smith--who looks ridiculous--supports.  

Cantone's reading of Melissa Gilbert's memoir is how it's done, people.  I still return to this every now and then and get a chuckle every time.

Wtf is with this board lately?“Calm down”? All I see is people discussing this on adiscussion board."

Agreed wholeheartedly.  The other posters are great, too.  I'm seeing a lot of Polish movie poster influences.

Now, if the Public could mix up their graphic design a little...

So?

What happened to the review thread?  Ah, well.

Sounds like the producers have their work cut out for them in promoting the hell out of this show.  I don't think just winning Tonys will cut it lest it suffer the same fate as Hell's Kitchen.  

EDIT:  Yup.  Looked again and it's not there for me.  Weird.  Anyhow, on to more interesting topics...

Is the younger audience response to this similar to the positive younger audience response to Be More Chill? 

In other words, is there something here for the grownups?

Indeed it was the Young Vic.

Ol' Dorothy here doesn't seem to think so.

But the old bag has a point.  I watched the Kevin Kline Present Laughter after watching Andrew Scott's raucous take on it and was struck by how much looser and more comfortable everyone seemed in the London production whereas the American actors seemed to be playing "British stiff upper lip" as an overriding concept and the whole thing curdled.

Oh, Jesus Christ.  

Can we not do this?  Or at wait until she's in her late 40's?  

We don't need another revival of Gypsy.  Not for a long, long time. 

I don't know if the musical is any good but this is the kind of outside the box thinking theaters and Broadway need to do more of.
