Fordham2015 said: "Totally agree about Isabelle McCalla, With All of Your Heart is my favorite track on the recording"Agreed. She does a little turn and vibrato at the end of the phrase "no way to liiive" around 1:50 that scratches something so satisfying in my ear. I can't get enough.

I think Dallas might be a great place creatively to develop new work — as in, the teams down there are committed to the art form and forward-thinking — but lord knows there's not much a great theatre can do when the audiences don't come! I've been disappointed in the area's lack of interest in anything remotely unfamiliar.

I saw it this past weekend and had a great time. Nettles is a bonafide musician and has created a properly tuneful pop-opera score with genuine soul, trajectory, and drive. It's definitely a post-Lin Manuel musicalization, and while it stands on its own, there are times where we seem to have arrived inside a Feminist Renaissance Hamilton, particularly in the rhyming couplet and joke structures that run through the recitative sections. It's a range-y sing for a lot of the characters, but it’s ...

She was one of the standouts of The Righteous Gemstones as well, which is wild because she was only in the one flashback episode each season. A warm, intelligent, effortlessly relatable performer...and holy moly what a voice

Excited for Max Clayton and Isabelle McCalla! my two favorite parts of Schmigadoon. Talented dancers and performers both

AC126748 said: "Is it common for a contract to do a regional production to include a clause that essentially guarantees right of first refusal for a subsequent (and hypothetical at this stage) Broadway run?"I believe so. My experience is: actors in new work see the road to Broadway quite early, and producers talk about the 'eventual Broadway production' on day one of the 20-hour reading. Broadway is Finish Line. A regional theatre, especially one with a history of transfers, would absolutely ...

A Criss win would feel correct and deserved, but honestly so would Groff.A back-to-back lead win? He really is the Tom Hanks of Broadway.

Hoping Justina Machado gets a Featured nom and honestly the win for CURVES. What a dynamite performance: both gut-busting and gut-punching, and often within moments of each other. I couldn't keep my eyes off her when she was onstage.

Kad said: "It looks like they're still doing opening night festivities even if reviews aren't dropping tonight- photos of the step and repeat and red carpet are on social media."Is this about to become the norm? or is it lowkey already the norm and I'm just now wising up to it

I believe it doesn't open until Saturday

I bet jonas is aware that curtain call is the lewk you see most on social media

binau said: "The quality is much higher than the demo tracks they had recorded!"I was thinking this, too! The performances, as well — Helen J Shen's vocal performance has only become fuller and more layered. "The Way It Has To Be" might be my favorite song of the season so far. Taps at the existential dread in our air with both matter-of-factness and heartache. A woman addressing with her mortality and making it a call to action to go out and see the world before she can't. It's a sneaky I Wa...

I don't know when it happened, but the film has become quite beloved by the digital generation. it's one of the highest rated modern musical movies on Letterboxd - behind only Chicago (and maybe Wicked?) I believe.

outed as a fan, oops!

Oooh this could really be something incredible - Carly often has the kind of pop sensibilities that seem naturally connected to the Tin Pan Alley tradition...the production can be modern but the bones underneath are ditty after ditty.catchy little stories that live in the flirty, will-we-won't-we stage of love...perfect for a rom-com. I wouldn't be surprised if we're getting retooled trunk songs from her other albums—the girl is insanely prolific, she writes like 200 songs per album, but that...

Josh Rhodes is now at the helm. I know Kritzer was involved for a reading recently, with Ryann Redmond, Kate Rockwell, and Isabelle McCalla. Unsure who's continuing on for the CA production

I definitely see Wicked winning the Box Office award, but I wouldn't be surprised if this film ends up taking the Best Musical/Comedy category. After getting tons of spots on the BAFTA longlists yesterday as well as more nominations at the Globes, it feels like Emilia is the favored musical for the European voters this year, with Wicked doing much better with awards here in the US so far.As for the film…I just spent much of the runtime wondering why they wanted to make this a musical. Found m...
