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?

Jordan Catalano said: "I can’t imagine Gold would agree to do this play unless he has a “vision” for it and that terrifies me. After Rebecca Frecknall’s ridiculous production at the Almeida in 2024, the most radical thing a director could do is to just give us a good version of the play - no gimmicks in casting or set design. Just give us a good Tennessee Williams revival."
Wasn't crazy about the National's production, either, whic

Can Americans "Do" Noel Coward?

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.

Could Lea Michele be the next Rose in GYPSY on Broadway?
Apr 15 2026, 05:25:56 PM
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.

Lest we forget: The government bailed out the airlines during Covid so they'd keep prices affordable for the consumer. They didn't. These prices, much like grocery prices, are not going to go down.

But they needed a star. Personally, I have never seen Ayo Edibiri be anything other than charming and serviceable, but she has a huge following who are convince

Sometimes I think that perhaps the Broadway musical, as an art form, needs a nice 10-year rest. No musicals for ten years. Let creative minds recalibrate because there's a LOT of mush being put out there by seemingly smart people that feels unfelt, over-meddled with, or not thought out and sometimes, paradoxically, all three at once.
Did we need a musical of Beaches, Smash, Tootsie, Pretty Woman, The Bodyguard, The Notebook...on and on and on and on and on and

Variety on Mary Beth Hurt

She had such a warm, open face but to me her most memorable roles were when she played bitter. So good as the angry daughter in Woody Allen's underrated Interiors. She also may be the only actor in history to soar with a bummer role: The whiny, needy daughter in A Delicate Balance. She was incredible.

Examples of "wacky", please?
