longshot these days, but did anybody see this show? any memory of it?

Julia was also a great Barbara in my memory of the movie. She’s not the casting that doesn’t work.

Damiensta said: "Sally Field this week said she starts rehearsal for a play in the fall if it doesn’t fall thru. Anyone hear any rumors of which play?

I remember someone said she passed on August County."

This is earth shattering news for me. A line item has been added to my budget.

Bette's Turban said: "Oh no issue. As I said.. I wish them success. It just seems so unreal. I guess I am one of the old didies that thought Broadway meant the pinnacle. Hope you enjoy."

What made you think Broadway was the pinnacle of anything beyond commercial theater? 

I didn’t dive deep so I didn’t realize the setting was changed. How sad.

Oh this is one of my favorite games.

If &Juliet had the same exact book but songs by Alan Menken and I'd probably think it was cute.

As I said in the thread about it, if I were producing a Coyote Ugly musical, Tesori is doing the music. 

I wish Sondheim wrote the Sunset opera.

Ya either got it, or ya ain't and well...

I’d love to see them in a new comedy.

I really haven’t been on this board long enough to “back in my day” but when I first got here, a title like this would excite me to see people’s experiences working on some of the bigger bombs in Broadway history.

Now it’s just the stalwarts and BroadwayFlash and these threads become a sitcom cutaway called “Go Away Flash” where everybody says something about the troll.

Pose cribs from Paris Is Burning and makes some ummm…choices in how it chooses to distribute what it cribs but I think it’s worth a watch of at least the first season. Even though that has the Evan Peters-Kate Mara “hopefully now normal people will also watch this” storyline that fell flat. 

I will admit however I never watched a single episode after a certain character departed in S2. So I never saw how bad it really got.

IDK, he has more composition bonafides than some of these modern musical composers who only know three chords on the guitar. I just wish everybody would stop falling into the trap of needing to be lyricists too. That's where I'm skeptical.

Never got a chance to see her in CHICAGO but she was on when I saw LIZA! at the Winter Garden in 1974, in THE ACT, THE RINK, and her run in VICTOR/VICTORIA along with her run at Radio City as well as more than a handful of her touring concerts. Yes, her concerts never started on time but she did go on."

But really seemingly no one in her generation of artists started on time

I rarely if ever feel like trailers give too much away but after a certain reveal in this trailer I thought "that feels like a lot for the trailer' so if you often feel spoiled by trailers, I'd go in blind. It did leave me wondering how much crazier it gets if they put all of that in the trailer. Excited to see it.

Truman is a tragic figure but not in the way so many treatments of his life seem to want him to be tragic. Would be interested to see this take.

Moulin Rouge!is up in the air. It's a very expensive show to run."

Funny to see how long the Hadestown death watch has been going.

TONYA TONYA TONYA!!!!

Was down a rabbit hole a few weeks ago of clips from the original Broadway run and there’s so much commitment from all of them. Cautiously optimistic the production is good even though I won’t get to see it.

not sure how close he is to “breaking out” (if we assume breaking out mean a show on Broadway) but I really like Billy Reece’s work.
