Cabaret script

You have a prompt book that was used during a licensed production. It has no connection to the broadway production. It's worth nothing. First Class Productions (Broadway/Tour) do not use those. Honestly-- it was against the law to keep it and not return it to Tams after that production was over.

"Beauty and the Beast" Overture

Sep 16, 2020 — 11:58:51 PM

The overture for the movie is not the same as the stage version. I don't think it was ever recorded on any of the cast recordings. Here is a pretty good live recording, though--LINK

Seeing Kate Baldwin in Concert Tonight

Sep 5, 2020 — 10:35:18 PM

I watched the live stream. It was a wonderful concert. I can't even IMAGINE what it must have been like to be there in person. That arrangement of NEW YORK, NEW YORK will forever be one of my favorite things.

Rocky Horror Show Revival (2000)

Rob120 said: "Yes, the entire score was re-orchestrated and vocal parts rearranged, however when you license the show you are given lead sheets instead of full charts so there is no “set” orchestration to the show. Every version is different. If you listen to a couple of cast recordings you will immediately notice the differences."This is not entirely true. The licensed ROCKY HORROR is NOT the Revival Version of the show. You receive the revised tour that went out after the show first opened....

Hardest Roles Currently on Broadway

Alex Kulak2 said: "Say what you will aboutDear Evan Hansen, but when Ben Platt has to go to physical therapy to keep from picking up the tics and body tension the character has, you have to admit that's a taxing role."Ben has had those ticks and tension in EVERY role he's played. That's just Ben "acting"....

Easier orchestration for high school

Mar 10, 2019 — 12:15:40 PM

Orchestrations are not modified for licensing. What you get is what was done on Broadway (sometimes, you’ll get a reduced version, but those are often harder because they are playing more). Find some ringers to play with the kids.

Be More Chill Orchestrations Drama

Mar 9, 2019 — 11:44:17 PM

Alex Kulak2 said: "I just realized: Michael Chorney co-orchestrated the music for Hadestown and played guitar in the band. Does this rule also cover Off-Broadway shows?"No. The Broadway CBA is different than Off-Broadway.

Stephanie J. Block back at The Cher Show?

Bettyboy72 said: "Charlie Williams posted on his instagram that he is going on for Greg Allman. He made it seem like it is permanent."Nothing about his posts made me think it was permanent...He is on again tomorrow, though.

16y/o Jimmy Award Winner is Bway's Next Evan Hansen

RWPrincess said: "I asked this question a couple days ago as well. Here in the US, there is usually a child guardian and an understudy at theater so I’ve been wondering if Michael Lee Brown is backstage when Andrew performs. I do not know what the cutoff age is though for someone to require a child guardian."MLB is an Alternate and understudy, so yes...he is there for every performance. There's usually a clause that says once the show starts they have to be within a certain distance of the th...

Wicked Casting for 2018-2019

Jul 14, 2018 — 7:45:46 PM

I'd KILL for Casey as Fiyero, but he's definitely stuck filming Riverdale for the next couple of months. There's no way he'd be going into the show next week. I don't doubt that he's on the shortlist, thought---after that "Out Of Oz" video with Jackie Burns.

Resources for band parts

The actual licensing companies. MTI, TRW, Tams, R&H. ..... Because anything else is against the law.
