Honestly, I'd be more interested in seeing Patti LuPone being positive about something other than herself.

Is there a song list on the program? Anyone willing to share, if so, please?

It seems that, unlike my wildest dreams, I won't ever be able to see the glorious Phantom on Broadway. I have no interest in seeing the cheap, downsized version Cameron Mackintosh will put out in a year or two, so I just hope that one crash and burn. Unless the medical field has some interesting development in the next few years, it also seems unlikely that I'll be able to see it, but I hope when it all enters the public domain, someone has a field day recreating the actual brilliant original...

Most companies and copyright owners are pretty lax with fanworks but draw the line at charging for said fanworks. Open a fanfic website and you will see dozens of non-owned characters getting new life, but you'll certainly bump into a lot of roadblocks if you try to sell those. I don't know why they suddenly thought they should start charging for it and Netflix would just allow it. Also, if you start letting people using trademarks for profit freely, you're getting into a case of having said ...

I'll blame this one on you for expecting anything different from anyone ever associated with onstage blog

I've been massively turned off since they announced the cast, but this does make it interesting again. I hope it works out

Am I the only one who thought bringing out Liza was a bit... tasteless? She seemed a bit lost on the reason why she was there, even

This made for such a lovely summer evening out and I'm so glad I'm alive at the same time this was out in theatres. Too bad I only saw it today and another comic book movie overtook the theatres near me. Surely we don't need the same movie in 5 different theatres in a single complex? I know some songs were sung live in the movie - do any of you know if these live versions were also included in the soundtrack or if the soundtrack uses the studio recordings?

Missed opportunity if it doesn't get filmed

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite shows (my first one, too) and I hate Maison Des Lunes, so I'm not too sad about that. But No Matter What??? I'm not even hoping I could see this production but perhaps it makes sense when you watch it.

I'm not surprised by people's reactions since they were already hating this since it was announced but, even if it's not the best musical in years, it is at least entertaining. It made laugh, and it surprinsingly, made me cry during If (and during the visit to the hospital). I've loved this song for what feels like years now, and it somehow yet managed to move me.I must be honest and tell you I don't have much of a connection to the actual Diana. She died when I was old enough to remember stu...

May I ask something to the superphans in this thread? How do you feel about international replica productions (like the 2018 Brazilian revival) that uses basically the same set, choreography, costumes and direction? It has a faster chandelier and modernized tech behind the scenes, but everything is (I assume) just like Hal Prince and Maria Bjornson wanted to (down to the angel). What if they were to replace the original, allegedelly worn Broadway sets by one of those productions? On a kinda s...

The voters had seen those shows and, as far as we know, they weren't given anything. The reason the date was pushed up to a date before the opening of West Side Story and Girl From North Country had opened was, indeed, because most viewers hadn't seen any.

This thread made me laugh out loud, I didn't expect it. Thank you (I agree they murdered It Takes Two, but I liked Move On)

I can't believe people from notorious snarky board like BroadwayWorld would fall for such cheap trolling attempt

Now let's see how long it stays open

Comparing anyone working today to Hal Prince is just setting them up for failure. Maybe there simply won't be a "today's Hal Prince" or even a "tomorrow's Hal Prince".
