I don’t understand the reasoning but I presume they make more money off recordings and licensing Brel’s image that the show isn’t worth it. It was always odd - handled by Dramatists instead of a real musical licensing house and the materials were beyond ridiculous in their illegibility. So sadly we will not be seeing the show any tim...

Does anyone know where the rights to Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris are available for licensing (specifically the 2006 version)? I know that the original version used to be available through Dramatists Play Service until 2017 but they no longer licence the show, and even then, they never licensed the 2006 revised version (but amateur/regional companies, such as Two River Theatre still performed this version, so it had to be available somewhere). Does anybody have any idea ...

Broadway Flash said: "This is ALWs best score" That's Jesus Christ Superstar.

I just want them to make El Tango de Roxanne a duet like it was in the movie. The version in the movie is so grating in the best way possible.

Apparently Okieriete Onaodowan in Great Comet... Too soon?

Do have friends that really enjoy them though so maybe I'll give them another chance."I didn’t see their production of Dreamgirls so I can’t speak for it but I saw their productions of Cabaret and Passion and they were both Broadway caliber.

Basically. One big show I can think of that didn't was the 2006 revival of Threepenny Opera. Though it wasn't technically original it was a brand new translation. Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper starred so it's a shame it was never preserved.

herewegoabc said: "Audio bootlegs on Tumblr will have zero effect on whether this gets a recording. I'd say the chances of this NOT getting an official Broadway cast recording are slim to none. It will be just as, if not more, marketable than the majority of shows that get recordings. There are new songs (one of which has already been released in an official capacity), and half of the show (including the lead) are performers who did not appear on the Two Rivers recording." There's only one ne...

ccbway said: "This was an adaptation of a book, which they mostly adhered to. Seems like people complaining about retreading old material should really be a complaining about the source material. As for the complaint that somehow similar songs being in other musicals somehow makes it invalid also assumes that everyone who watches this musical has seen 13. That seems especially presumptuous not only for the target audience, but really even for other theatergoers. Or it could be considered a mo...

Theatrefanboy1 said: "With some of these shows ( bands visit and Anastasia... it also wouldnt surprise me if kong is gone by summer) announcing closings and a large number of limited run plays it looks like by July many theatres will be open for new tenants. As well as the Lunt. It seems that there is quite a bit of space with unannounced shows.Ive heard as well that very shortly love never dies will be making announcement and after Anastasia announcing its closing. It just makes sooo much se...

sabrelady said: "the nude scene was just the cast stripping off ON STAGE while Claude sang Where DO I GO?." That's what the nude scene has been in every production of Hair that I've seen, including Broadway. What's wrong with that?

Lester Burnham is a fascinating character. His imperfections are what attracts people."lets be real here. People love Shakespeare but in the oft produced canon how many Tituss are you actually seeing?

Kad said: "Im sure Ivo van Hove will have his way with it eventually." I wouldn't be opposed to that.

I would personally love this. Thora Birch should play Carolyn. She's old enough at this point (she's currently only 4 years younger than Annette Benning in the movie) and God knows she needs the work.

Niles Silvers said: "There have been digital files floating around for a while, but I've never heard them, so thanks for this bit of theatrical history. Was there two different covers for the 2 LPs because the oneI saw was different." Nope, both LPs were in one sleeve, with this as the cover. The cover art on castalbums.org (which is basically the only record I can find of this album existing) looks to me like cropped show art (as it doesn't say anything like "Original Broadway Cast Recording...

In 1975, Best Musical nominee "The Lieutenant", a rock opera about the trial of Lieutenant William Calley Jr. during the Vietnam War, recorded a cast album, but it was never released to the public, as the show closed after just nine performances and seven previews. However, a few promotional copies of the album on vinyl made it out in to the public and have been passed around collectors and traders for the past 44 years. However, to the best of my knowledge, nothing from this recording had ev...

As a while, this cast doesn't pass for high schoolers to me unlike Prom or Mean Girls."In the same vein of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown and Spelling Bee, there are youth-centric shows that deliberately cast people who read as adults as an artistic choice to help make the themes more apparent. In Be More Chill's case, I'd guessthat's what they intended. It's not l...
