Profile for FosseTharp

As someone who’s worked with her on a production for the entirety from pre-production to opening night, I’ll say she is excellent at casting and managing a rehearsal room for a large-scale production and cast. She also is great at utilizing her pre-pro time with the creative team (choreographer, associates, assistants, SDCF observerships, and interns) to workshop the entire show and staging to notate in Stage-Write with non-EQ actors and dancers and college students prior to the start of rehe...

Murder Ballad immediately came to mind for me.

I mean the show could play the Marriott and she performs for all the tourists and guests in the lobby 🤣

Not sure if this has been posted yet….. but Jennifer Simard’s recent pinned TikTok suggests that she’s possibly in the cast? Magenta or Columbia? But omg what I would give to see a Jen Simard Frank! Also, scrolling FB I saw an article about how Glen Powell auditioned for the role Sam in Glee but his roommate Chad Overstreet got the role. The article used a photo of Glen and a photo of Chad as Rocky from Glee. So when I saw the image of the two of them before reading the headline I immediately...

Shubert Alley Cat said: "On the app it seems the backward and forward arrows that were always at the bottom of the Message Board section have disappeared. The Message Board is now way less easily navigable." Yep same for me. Extra frustrating when I click a link posted in a thread and then have to go back to the homepage and figure out where I was in a thread to continue reading.

I can’t imagine any Actress in films this year overtaking Buckley in Lead Actress. So many great films coming out this year but with reviews like this she has it in the bag. Especially with the polarized reception to Luca guadagnino‘s After the Hunt. As of right now Jessie Buckley and Jacob Elordi (for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein) have to be the front runners, no?

Okay, hear me out… I’ve said this before years ago and I still stand by it. Sutton is Broadway Concierge for those who remember when this place was unbearable—back when she was the self-appointed queen of BroadwayWorld, with enough sway to get other people’s posts deleted. BC disappears, then suddenly SR shows up. Most of the time I can mentally zone out and scroll past the trolls, no problem. But when they hijack every thread, that’s when I finally block them. I only use the block button as ...

BenjaminNicholas2 said: "Without a voice like Mazz or Carolee, this show is ho-hum.I'm not running to see a tour cast at Broadway prices." WTF does this even mean? Actually, you could have seen “a voice like Carolee” or actually Carolee herself in the cast of a tour as recently as this year (Kimberly Akimbo)…. This isn’t a NETworks tour

Aimee Lou Wood? She’s the only former performer from the show that could raise ticket sales…

bjh2114 said: "bwaylyric said: "What was up with Simard's "That was rude" sign? Was that for Patti?"I think she was just referencing her now viral line from the show."Yeah. Her line in the show is viral on TikTok and voiced over countless memes, similar to the Chris Colfer version of Roses Turn on Glee.

I am absolutely thrilled that Old Friends, the revue celebrating Sondheim's genius, is coming to Broadway in 2025, with Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga directing."Da fuq? Is it safe to assume every poster with the username Ensemble + 10 random numbers is a spam/AI account?

That’s a bummer! I got stuck babysitting my nieces and nephews later than anticipated so I missed the showcase today and planned to attend it on Thursday…. Glad to find out now instead of attending the showcase to be disappointed by it not being shown.

Call_me_jorge said: "Really weird pairings. Makes me wonder if it’s something to do with whoever shares agents/managers."That’s part of what I love about these Actors on Actors videos. The odd pairings are often where the best conversations come from. Like, one of my favorite episodes ever was Kieran Culkin and Colman Domingo. That sounded like such a strange combo on paper, but it ended up being an incredible, thoughtful chat. I’m actually really glad Variety is doing a Broadway edition. It’...

This review reads like it was written by ChatGPT…. I asked ChatGPT to write a review for MHE but gave it a little more prompts. I did tell it to sign it by a fictitious critics name, but also to not write a rave or pan, but lean positive. Review: Maybe Happy Ending Is a Melancholy Waltz Between Circuits and SoulsBy Marla Keane, Special to The Clarion Stage In the ever-evolving landscape of Broadway, where revivals and adaptations often dominate, Maybe Happy Ending emerges as a breath of fresh...

Solid casting choices for one of my favorite plays! I will say I’ve always wanted a revival of The Goat starring Mary Louise Parker as Stevie, but Paulson is a great choice. To this day The Goat, or Who is Sylvia plus The Pillowman and Jackie Sibblies Drury’s We are Proud to Present… are my favorite productions, play or musical, that I’ve ever directed. I hope this rumor is true because I’d love to see a first rate production again. I saw it with Sally Field as Stevie on Broadway when I was i...

Cape Twirl of Doom said: "Ah, just found the block feature. Wow this thread just got a whole lot better!" WHERE IS IT?! There are quite a few posters Id like to block real bad. I used to just scroll past posts from certain people but now I’m ready to take advantage of the block!Can it be accessed from the app or do you need to be on the website because for some reason I can’t log in on the website saying my password and email are wrong.

darquegk said: "I wonder if it might be reimagined as a dance musical in line with Cats or Illinoise, instead of a ballet accompanied by a Billy Joel tribute group?"I totally agree and see where you’re coming from regarding Movin’ Out being reimagined like Illinoise. The article hints that Twyla Tharp plans to dive back into the story and characters, which makes me think the tales of the five friends will get a fresh look, with deeper exploration and development.
