 this thread being woken up after 14 years of peaceful slumber

the only gypsy revival i want is a terrifying one. i want a nightmare gypsy. stop faffing around.

Maybe in like fifteen years. I found her performance in Funny Girl to be unsettling in a way that would apply really well to Rose.

I think the general consensus here was that it wasn't all that great. There were a few contrarian defenders, some shills, some trolls, who liked to claim otherwise, but if memory serves most here were betting against it.

In fact, now that I've gone back and read through the thread, the outlook was quite poor poor."

It's telling that most of early positive outlooks in that thread are "hey, it might be good" and "we should be happy to have new shows" (also me on page four being like "boy i hope we don't hit that iceberg" lol). That show had stink on it from the minute it was announced.

yaaaaAAAY

My vote is for Cats (transformational, genuinely some of the most fun I've ever had at a show, and is extremely politically apt right now) and also I honest to god was like "wait, they're reviving Rocky? The boxing musical? How did I miss this?" while reading this thread lmao

I would kill for a double album that preserves the party atmosphere, "D D D D DEUTERONOMY" has been bouncing around my head like a dvd screensaver for like a year and a half.

I can't believe the government wasted money funding Lempicka! Anyways, back to spending $2 billion per day on the child p*rn distraction war.

edit: to put that into perspective, that's more than one Lempicka credit ($2.6 million) every two minutes

I love the idea that the drag element is what people would find confusing and offputting, and not three hours of singing cats.

To be fair, the thing being discussed is a central element to the play, so I'm not sure what meaningful discussion about this play would look like otherwise unless we all just want to sit here and pass around anodyne comments on the quality of the acting.

I would argue that there's a shocking amount of evidence that Israel has genocidal intent, but I guess if it doesn't come from the Genocide Region then it's just sparkling annihilation.

Why not?

There's a reason the best plays about Hitler don't actually feature Hitler, and I think the same applies to Trump. The impact he's had on people is much more interesting than the man himself, who is so well-documented and shallowly psychotic that there's very little to actually excavate dramatically. I don't know if a Trump-centric play would be anything more than a back-patting political cartoon, when what's really needed is an exorcism in the average living room.

I would much rather see every single person in the Trump administration rotting in prison.
