Dollypop said: "There was a mezzo who was making her Met debut in IL TROVATORE a few years ago who not only got booed on opening night but had bouquets of broccoli and spinach tossed at her in place of the usual flowers. She withdrew from the production and (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't performed in the States since.She really was bad, though."I'm skeptical of this story simply because it's hard to believe someone would bring broccoli and spinach to the opera. Unless they knew they wou...

quizking101 said: "Sutton Ross said: "Those dates were announced two months ago and your last sentence is patently false. Those dates are not on sale YET. Facts matter."If I was a betting man, they’re looking for who will eventually be Hugh’s replacement and use those weeks as sort of a “soft run” for them."That's entirely possible. But in Jackman's other shows, they've usually opted to just go dark on his scheduled absences. Who knows what will happen. We'll see.

BJR said: "Sure. Because he didn't work on it, you're right. But that doesn't mean it would've solved these concerns the critics had."Maybe, maybe not. We'll never know.

Surprised no one has mentioned Beanie landing Funny Girl.

As soon as I saw the title DEAD OUTLAW I wondered if it was about Elmer McCurdy but then I thought "nah, surely no one tried to use that as the basis for a musical." Well, I'll be danged. Should be unique to say the least.

Lot666 said: That's the glaring problem with the review from The Wrap, which states:"The difference with 'MJ' is that it celebrates a pedophile’s life and not only ignores his crimes but whitewashes them."The reviewer declares the accused to be guilty, and that's that. He, like so many others, has positioned himself as judge, jury, and executioner.""Executioner" lol. The reviewer has common sense. If a man has sleepovers with children and some of those children later claim to be molested, Occ...

Auggie27 said: "The CGI-created NYC may be necessary, but it doesn't help establish the verisimilitude, and it adds to an overall artificiality. Rather than feel transported, we sense the effort to transport us, and the settings often feel like settings, exteriors drawing attention like old school Hollywood matte work (tops of buildings, skyline, and especially the seaport sequence). It wouldn't matter if the show were more consistently compelling. Most noticeable: the 80 minute pilot didn't ...

Jordan Catalano said: "^Finally, someone else I can share with how much i dislike the original film."To the two who don't like the film: why not? Is it because it's unfaithful to the original stage show? Many people consider it the greatest film musical ever made. (I'm no stranger to controversial opinion myself; I don't like the Chicago film).

My first thought was 'flops don't get revived." On second thought, we've had revivals of Pal Joey, Candide, and some Sondheim classics that didn't make money the first time around. Chess is coming back, too. So there's a precedent.But Ballroom as a title doesn't mean anything to many people, unlike even Pacific Overtures for example. I think Encores would be a great venue for it.

jiaxing_26 said: "A little too early to ask, but based on previous records of *famous actors in iconic plays*, what are the chances that thisMacbethwill appear on TKTS/TDF?"My guess is it will pop up on TKTS in the first few weeks. In the current covid climate it wouldn't surprise me if some of the Tuesday or Wednesday performances later in the run showed up as well. Just my guess.

BCfitasafiddle said: "Did she ever do theatre of some kind? I tried looking it up, but results right now are a bit lost in death headlines.RIP, lovely woman."She did summer stock. She said her favorite part was Anna in The King and I.

bk said: "dramamama611 said: "Thats not what the poster is saying.....they are referring to an alternative, with a planned 2 performances off a week. Their point is that back in the day, no one used an alternate for this role.To BK, as roles as become more demanding, vocal health has become more recognized."More demanding than Mama Rose? Dolly? Any Merman show? Sans microphones? :) More demanding than Stop the World, in which the lead character never shuts up and never stops singing? Sans mic...

BrodyFosse123 said: "JasonC3 said: "I badly need the interrupted production of Virginia Woolf to be remounted. To miss seeing Laurie Metcalf in that is one of the biggest regrets of my life."After the incredible buzz she and the production were generating, I quickly bought a ticket for Friday March 13, 2020. Broadway shutdown on Thursday March 12, 2020."Well, I guess the one bright spot for me about that production ending is you didn't get to see it. Ha ha.

bwaydreamer said: "Hate to break it to people, and I don't like it either, but Rudin is still VERY MUCH working on most of his shows and pulling the strings still. Most producers and actors have not really cut ties with him, or they are scared to because he wasn't "fully canceled" and they know he still has lots of power and will continue to. So these shows are probably still very much alive, just with him lurking in the shadows (and raking in the dough)."I hope so because I'd love to see som...

CATSNYrevival said: "If Annie, Birdie, Miss Mona and the Phantom can run out on stage a second time why not Maria?"Sure Maria can join that string of flops I guess.
