For whatever reason the production was cancelled and the album was recalled."
Australia don't have much luck with Jekyll & Hyde as in 2015 another tour was announced with Teddy Tahu Rhodes as Jekyll/Hyde and Jemm

John Adams said: "everythingtaboo said: "Even if the licensing page didn't express prohibit it...just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
Yes, that's very true.
I can, however, allow for a bit of grace, and breathing room because of the fact that this was going to be performed by unpaid, non-professionals, as a student production, in an educational setting.
For me, that's a relevant distinction."

Beaches reviews

Kad said: "The fact that this couldn’t sell tickets even before disastrous word of mouth and negative reviews suggests the title is not a sufficient draw alone."
This. One million times over.
I adore Beaches. I adore musical theatre. I adore Jessica Vosk.
Do I want to see a Beaches musical featuring Jessica Vosk? Nahhhh.
It just doesn't scream out for a musical adaption. When there are so many amazing movies that

domdomdomdom said: "Is this what it's like at Chicago? Everyone (except the one guy) was so villainous to Val in the scene and it was supposed to be her first daymeeting them?They were all dripping with disgust. It was weird. I could only think there was more to the background of this scene and that it was Chicago specific. They could be frustrated with her, her cameras, etc but I've never seen theater people behave this way toward someone new."

Call_me_jorge said: "True! I wonder if the tour is also closing up this summer? None of the presenters that have announced, so far, have included it in their seasons(as an add-on or otherwise). When the tour came through chicago last spring my biggest takeaway was how dated the music already was. Like, there were several moments where I thought,“Pink Pony Club would slap for this scene.”"
I might be making this up but I’m certain Baz Luhrmann said s

New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next?

Keri sounds sensational and got a huge response when she took over as Standby. My guess is she is taking over, and maybe Olivia as the new Standby?

Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?

As exciting as this sort of rumour should be - I cringe at the audience behaviour this will attract, the circus her fans will turn this glorious show into, and, above all, the astronomical prices this show will demand.

Wicked Prequel or Sequel Next?
Nov 25 2025, 02:01:38 PM
I could see a prequel featuring the Wizard’s arrival from the point of view of Princess Ozma and the coup that followed. Or even further back featuring a member of the Royal Family of Oz. I imagine they’ll want to avoid using any of the familiar characters as it’ll be hard to bring them back.
I’m a huge Oz fan so would love to see more projects set in Oz.

Good for Bob! Not sure this solves the million a month they are losing presently. Investors are being very patient about watching the losses pile up and their profits disappear."
He won't move the needle at all. This show prints money on tour so closing up in January after 6.5 years in New Yorkis completely respectable."
When are people going to understand just how loyal and willing to spend money Drag Race fans are? Look at what Jinkx did for Little Shop and Chicago, and Bob is, arguably, better known by the general public after appearing on We're Here and The Traitors and writing a NYT Bestseller than Jinkx was. This will absolutely help sales, especially in the terrible winter months."
THIS.
I'm a gay with a comfortable salary and there are few drag race alumni who could get me in a theatre. Jinx is one of them, and Bob another. Bianca would be the third...and then that's about it.
Bob is going to generate a respectable income for the production.

Gonzalez was not my cup of tea. Is Block too big a name for something like that? I do think the show is so specific to Nicole that I very well might have been dissatisfied with whoever they got"
I adore Block but she wouldn’t have been good in this. She played the role
