He had a small role with lines in DIE HARD and I actually saw the check he received for that. It was less than two dollars but he still is getting money from that film."No need to name drop. Looks ugly. I’ve referenced many actor friends including a few currently o...

Nope. They found out via social media. Also, a sheet on a call board would also not be ok. In no other industry would it be considered so. Regardless, what happened here was the cast (and the in coming cast) found out through a press release that most saw on Twitter, hours before reaching the theatre.

And the cast, both playing and the ones booked yo takeover found out via the press. It’s truly jaw dropping that this man never seems to learn…

I hope they can keep it up."I think the real test will be their casting for Legally Blonde, which in the TikTok era has gained a lot of recent momentum, and the incredible casting of the Regent Park production in London I would the think the Muny would want to lead the way on this side of the pond."Incred...

ACL2006 said: "How did Anderson do in her title number "Roxie"? And "Me and My Baby"?"A title song means it contains the title of the show, not the name of a character

inception said: "This number didn't impress me much on the 2019 Tonys, & not sure it does now.I thought the other video of the curtain speech was nice. He seems like a really generous person for someone who is the star of a show. That made me more willing to get a ticket...though I might watch for a discount code."Half rhymes always really baffle me. I just can't see how any lyricist gets any joy from their work of it's so sloppy. I would say that about any walk of life though, I don't unders...

CarlosAlberto said: "Are people on this board forgetting that Beanie is playing "Fanny Brice" and not Barbra Streisand? She's not supposed to sound like Barbra Streisand.I haven't listened to any of the leaked and (illegally) recorded audio from the show or even the sitzprobe footage becauseI want to go into this without any notion of what this sounds like until I get to see it for myself live and make up my own mind about it."Yes, she’s playing Fanny Brice. Take all of her musical moments an...

BrodyFosse123 said: "Is it really the original orchestrations? Chris Walker is credited on IBDB.He may be credited and those are his transitions and bits here and there but I’m very familiar with the original 1964 Broadway score to know the Overture they did last night is the original 1964 Broadway Overture with zero alterations. Even the trumpet riff at the end is identical. "That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not been re-orchestrated. The reduction of the instrumentals alone means that it h...

Such a damn STARJared Grimes dancingLooking forward to his tap dance breaks in the middle of “I’m the Greatest Star” and “Who Taught Her Everything She Knows.” Unless he’s the alternate Fanny Brice, one would very much hope he doesn’t do a tap solo in ‘I’m the Greatest Star’ "" Ykless

Bettyboy72 said: "Many of the names listed here would not be considered "big." They would considered "semi-celebrity." These are typically people who can be gotten on the cheaper and side and many of the audience won't know who they are.Back in the day people became "stars" from the vaudeville houses. Broadway stage and television appearances. They were household names with the talent and chops to back it up. Hit songs came from Broadway musicals. It was a much more integrated trajectory.Now ...

Yes to the drag queen points. The writing is so bad. You just sitting waiting and waiting for a gag, witty word play, a bitchy zinger and they never come. What it takes is camp and as rightly mentioned in the previous posts, actors who understand how to do camp. It takes someone to pull the words around and simply make them funny because of their tone, or the way they stretch out a vowel, a throw of the head or an audaciously long head pan. Basically, none of what is on the page is good excep...

TheGingerBreadMan said: "The nanny goat thing in WICKED. She has one line in the opening number and then she's done. I understand that it is an ensemble track played by someone who does multiple other roles, but honestly, those masks are expensive and it's just a waste. Having the Witch's father as the only one there during the birth would be just fine."The goat midwife is necessary.She’s important for the world building. It sets up, in the first few minutes that in Oz, animals talk, they hav...

Call_me_jorge said: "Cinderella is public domain. This is not Disneys Cinderella this is ALWs Cinderella. It’s like how Rodgers and Hammerstein have their own Cinderella. Had ALW directly ripped off Disney’s Cinderella I’m sure there would be issues, but he doesn’t. As long as it’s inspired from Grimm Brothers Cinderella, there isn’t really an issue."To be totally pedantic, it’s actually the Charles Perrault version of Cinderella that most modern adaptations adhere to. That’s the one with a F...

JBroadway said: "ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "But this is kind of a classy team... written by Anthony McCarten (screenwriter of the terrible BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY but also of some good movies), directed by Michael Mayer, choreographed by Steven Hoggett, starring Will Swenson. And that artwork is quite beautiful.If there's a really good story here, itcouldtranscend the jukebox genre. Or it could be absolute crap put up by overqualified artists and a producer desperate to make money."I just looke...

pmensky said: "I once heard that an audience will become comfortable with laughing out loud during a comedy only after a few people start the trend, then the audience becomes comfortable because they feel they have permission to laugh. I wonder if this kind of bad behavior spreads for the same reason."That’s a really interesting question. Certainly ‘permission to laugh’ is a thing. Comedy already works so much better when you have a full house, or if not a full house if people are sat closer ...

dramamama611 said: "This is something you will see more AT family/kid shows - more people with no theater experience bringing in the family. It has little to do with respect, it has to do with experience (or lack of it)." These people have a lack of experience being in a public space and having to share with other people? They’ve never left that house? Your response is utter nonsense. Basic manners and human decency in any person, would make them think twice about how their behaviour has an e...
