You're right, theatredk, I wasn't thinking.

I was going to say Zombie Prom as well! Very funny, very weird. And Ruthless! is great. Try out Avenue Q as well.

I would love to see Forum or Crazy for You revived... not quite sure what directors.

Just what we need, a reminder of that movie! I know the original look for the Phantom was based off of Rudolph Valentino, and I just really like that look better. The thing that offends me the most is that they are claiming to use Maria Bjornson's designs, when they are clearly not.

The thing about Bjornson's original sets is that they were based on the Palais Garnier, the opera house where the book is set. Some of the costumes for the UK tour (which are apparently being used for the US version) were hideous! The Phantom has a bizarre Superman hairdo, the Il Muto ballerina costumes literally look like pillowcases, Christine's wedding dress is so plain, and the entire Masquerade sequence is bastardized. Instead of the crazy, lavish costumes that each have a different char...

I hate being PROVED WRONG! I don't want to DO MY RESEARCH -broadwaystar2

Haha ^ When rereading my comment, I noticed that

Lions are native to Africa. White people came in and exploited it.

Alexia Khadime, Lilli Cooper, Saycon Sengbloh, Dan'yelle Williams, Amaris Dupree and others would like to have a word with you, broadwaystar2. And a black actor playing a role originated by a white person is very different than vice versa.

Because it's set in Africa, so why would there be white people? There are so many shows dominated by white people, leave this one alone.

Jesus Christ. There is a precedent of a black actors playing Lola, so Lola should be black. There are enough roles with "Caucasian" or "any race" (meaning probably white) in the description out there, let black people have this. And this is not comparable to a non-white Billy Elliot or whatever.

God is dead and we killed him. Is there any chance this movie could still fall through?

I recently had some brilliant (in my opinion) casting ideas for either another A Little Night Music revival or movie remake. I was curious if anyone else had ideas. Desiree- Meryl Streep Fredrik- ??? Madame Armfeldt-Maggie Smith (I know she's retired from the stage) Henrik- Hugh Skinner (he was Joly in Les Mis) Anne- Katie Hall Carl-Magnus- Hadley Fraser (I know he's playing it in a concert soon) Charlotte- Michelle Dockery Petra- Lauren Molina Fredrika- Chloe Moritz

The problem is Chris Colfer is a terrible singer.

Yes, believe or not, your Julliard diploma does not double as "Get into Broadway Free" card.

I know the former national tour Pugsley understudy frequents the boards, (jetts27 or something) let's see if he shows up.

Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd were not total flops. Both ran for over a year and had multiple cast changes.

^Exactly I'm very interested to add another signature to my Into the Woods playbill and the show isn't open anymore, so it's not like I can drive four hours to NYC and see it. I get that they want to expose the magic of theatre to everyone, but I think to show would make more in Boston or Philly than Bumhole, Arkansas.

Wagner didn't use the same headshot for Into the Woods (I checked) but it is definitely not recent.
