As a theater fan as well, this has me extremely excited. It may bomb, who knows. But I am honestly ready for a fun night out with my friends to relive a huge part of our lives.Also, as a theater fan, I admit that I am one of the people who often complainedabout jukebox and bio-musicals. But I am starting to get it....

dramamama611 said: "A show by show thing. Which show(s) are you looking at?"Lion King and Phantom for my friend, which aren't a big deal since I doubt they're closing any time soon. But JLP and Cursed Child don't have anything past Jul/early Aug. And then crossing my fingers Virginia Woolf or Flying Over Sunset extend.

When should I expect tickets for late August to go on sale. A lot of the newer shows already have tickets but I'm taking a first-timer with me and there's some of the older shows I'm gonna take them to see and they only have tix till early August at the latest. Just curious if there was a time period that they usually come out or if it's more of a show by show thing

What happened with Alice's shoes? I heard one or part of one flew off into the audience?

LizzieCurry said: "Will3700, they're not rehearsing it with any other cast..."So the Dallas production should have the same cast? A friend of mine was confused since the Playbill article says the official start is the LA engagement and it's running in Dallas before that. I bought a ticket today just in case cause I love me some Eden Espinosa.

broadfan327 said: "The current Oscar rule is only a maximum of two songs from a movie can be nominated for Best Original Song."Isn't there a new rule that you can't send just the song out anymore, that you can only send it as part of the movie or something like that? I remember that being brought up when Remember Me won last year since it worked much better as part of the story than as a stand alone song, unlike This Is Me.

Yeah, remember on her talk show she used to spread rumors of being in the movie version of Chicago to try an make it happen? Well before the movie version ever came out?

CT2NYC said: "Overall, I thought the movie was good, but I enjoyed the first half much more. I found the scenes chronicling Ally'smeteoric rise to be very by-the-numbers and underdeveloped, with no clear length of thetimeline. Was it weeks, months, a year?

Overall it was an enjoyable if not a little heartbreaking time at the theater.Streisand won an Oscar for Best Song for co-writing the song “Evergreen.”"I know, but I don't know if there were any nods to Streisand in the new film like there was for Judy.

DrowsyKaye said: "BroadwayConcierge said: "Crap. Laurie Metcalf is probably the only actress who could prompt me to buy a ticket to see a Hillary Clinton play. Might give into this one."I promise you it's not a "Hillary Clinton play." It's more a "women in politicsplay" if anything."Yeah, when they did it here in Dallas, they had a black woman play Hillary.

Disclaimer: I've never seen any version of A Star is Born.I enjoyed this film much more than I thought I would. It hits a lot of great notes, and has some amazing performances (Sam Elliott for best supporting please). I really do think Cooper could win best actor, he was superb. Gaga was......capable? IDK I wasn't blown away, but I do think she did a great job (I got super emotional during the scene where he pulls her on stage). I also was glad they had a small nod to Garland at the very begi...

Theater_Nerd said: "I know it's only a concert and as much as I dolove her, Megan Hilty, at this pointis typecast as the "dumb blonde/blonde bombshell". From what I can decipher she's gotten the opportunity to step out of that kind of role once or twice - but for the most part that's all she's been known to play.She can do "Audrey" in her sleep at this point. It's not much of a stretch for her.I really would like to see her in something other than the cute/sexy/ditzy blonde."Well she was cast...

Rafiki Mourns was in the Playbill when I saw the tour in June, just under a different name.

One woman Funny Girl, where Fanny has lost it and is in a padded cell with Nicky Arnstein scrawled all over the walls.

SomethingPeculiar said: "faceleg said: "A teacher I has swore she saw a tour of Dolly that was done in the round?"A Channing tour? It's surely been done in the round at places like Sacramento Music Circus or North Shore Music Theatre or the Marriott Lincolnshire, but there are virtually no in-the-round touring theatres in the US."It may have been like maybe a one off production with Channing. She says it was her, because Channing having never worked in the round, would turn and do the same sh...
