Agreed: why keep him away? I'd be very interested to see him on stage.

Ensemble1783337914 said: "I see this change as an important moment for Arena Stage, especially since leadership transitions often shape the direction of programming and how strongly a theatre stays connected with its community. Hana Sharif’s time there clearly left an impact, so it will be interesting to see how the next artistic director builds on that foundation while also bringing their own perspective. In a completely different contexteven something like Seattle Black Limo Service depends...

User47293ca5 said: "Oh no, this is so sad to hear! I was lucky enough to catch it last month and I absolutely loved it. The practical effects with the holes in the bodies and the twisted necks looked incredible live, and the musical numbers had so much energy. Honestly, I thought the spark was definitely there, but Broadway is just so oversaturated right now and audiences seem hesitant to risk it on newer adaptations over the established classics. It feels like the show was totally underrated...

MadTV made me think Nicole Parker would be excellent as Mary on tour.

Is this new site a very late April Fools joke? It looks like it was made in 1999. Not at all intuitive or easily navigated. Yikes.

Maybe Six?

If I had a Paramount plus subscription, I’d cancel it. What a shameful organization. Long live Stephen Colbert. I hope we see him on the stage soon.

I’m pretty sure I saw Tess as Celine understudy downtown. She was excellent. Very funny and great voice.

Oh, Mary! 84% kidding

Interesting that Rachel wowed them with a video she sent in. I think that’s also how she got West Side Story.I hope it transfers; I’m still rooting for the Beaumont. They could do some added security by the reflecting pool or something. Even build some scaffolding with visibility only to a screened outdoor audience. As for the actress ALW originally had in mind: didn’t Ariana Debose mention she was attached at some point?

Have to agree with the above. I’m in my upper thirties and have enjoyed Joy in everything I’ve seen her in. Particularly Little Shop. I don’t fangirl over actors. I genuinely appreciate her talent.

Joy in Cabaret and Catherine Tate in Oh, Mary is making me really consider a flight to London this summer.

Two things:Didn't this board used to have moderators? This is a thread about an Evita revival. While we're off-topic and until mods figure out how to manage this stuff, I'll just say: it's borderline delusional to read the above-quoted research paper and have that takeaway. Direct quote from the summary: "Our analysis of terrorism trends in the United States shows that, indeed, left-wing violence has risen in the last 10 years, particularly since President Donald Trump’s rise to political pro...

If the man seated in Row D at Death of a Salesman last night happens to be a reader on this board: please seek help.During intermission, this person turned around and berated a woman in Row E for crinkling paper during the first act. He put on a humiliating performance and threatened to get an usher to have the woman moved. The woman did nothing but meekly apologize and look shocked. The poor woman began to cry when the man eventually relented and turned around. Everyone in my row remarked ab...

This production is riveting.I saw the show last night. Lane and Metcalf are exceptional. For two and a half hours, you could hear a pin drop in the Winter Garden. The supporting cast was strong overall. Ahlers is great. Abbott is a very gifted actor, but didn't read as Biff to me. I found the casting of the younger actors to be mostly unnecessary, but not overly distracting. (Also: the crop tops. Why?!).Mantello is in peak directorial form here. I was reminded of The Humans, but I'm not sure ...

I think Caissie is giving a stronger performance all around.

Speculating on actors’ deaths, regardless of age, is truly bizarre.

I’m fairly certain that journalist was a bit too reliant on AI.

My poor bank account.

Oh, Jane!Mary fits her like a glove. She knows how to balance playing it straight and when to dip into the unhinged. At times I saw echoes of Cole's Mary (in a good way) and Jane found a few new laughs in unexpected places. I loved her Great Day monologue and just about everything about her performance. I think I may even try to see her again near the end of her run. Just excellent.Cheyenne is perfectly cast. John-Andrew Morrison is great overall, but I thought was missing some menace when th...
