FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread

I can't stop from laughing after reading that ad and that article!

$18/hour - no benefits. A snack or lunch if desired? Cooking meals? Cleaning bathrooms? Driving and pumping gas?

Those are the duties of a maid and a chauffeur not a personal assistant.

And the cherry on top of this bat-sh*t cake is that she has an EXECUTIVE assistant! What exactly is there left for the Executive Assistant to do? The Personal Assistant has done everything including the duti


WEST SIDE STORY reviews: opens Feb 20 2020

I love the street thug vibe they gave to his movements. Sorry I missed this.

Seb28 said: "Dark_Vader, so why not react on people here and what is discussed on the board? Because all I see here on the board is objective talk about her voice, choices, direction, etc, just like it happens with any leading lady or bad remake. It is almost as if you are not interested in the actual artist at all. Or the movie for that matter."

Why are you assuming things about me that are not true. I *am* interested in the artist and the movie. Case in point:

And just to be clear my post was not directed at anyone else on this thread. I was just bringing up a point of discussion regarding this film.

So please don't @ me. 

Chill.

They need to come up with new ideas.

Pinocchio Live Action Movie Musical 2022

I saw this as well. It is unwatchable. It is by far one of the worst of Disney's animated-to-live reinterpretations. 

One of the worst films of 2022. 


Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl

Famebroadway2 said: "So she is out for my performance next Saturday and all regular priced tickets for the next few months are gone. Does anyone know how long she is in the show for? I want to grab tix for Jan, but not sure if they ever announced an end date for her contract."

I believe she is in the show for 6 months.

BarnabyTucker said: "Doesn't there come a point where producers owe a duty to their employees to put their health over profits? It seems like COVID is spreading like wildfire through this company and that everyone either has it or is a sitting duck waiting for it to hit them.

Obviously they're keeping the doors open for the sake of revenue--and they're likely not going to take a hiatus unless Michele tests positive--but shouldn't the safety and well-being o


Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl

Tovah originated the role in the 1975 Broadway play YENTL. Barbra Streisand’s 1983 musical film isn’t based on this play at all. Streisand’s film and the play only share the same source book YENTL, THE YESHIVA BOY.
"

Thank you. I found info on the web regarding both adaptations of Yentl via BarbraArchives and IBDB.

I did not mention Barbra Streisand or her film in my original post.
"

And that's very true. And it is the same character. In fact Barbra said something to the effect that Tovah was her Yentl buddy. I'm sure someone will have the exact quote.

I did not know until that interview that Tovah's real name was Terri Sue. And that she switched to her Hebrew name as a professional name.
"

I just found that out as well when I was doing my quick research on Tovah. She recently penned a memoir entitled "Lilyville" which she briefly mentions in the interview I included in my original post. I also came across this lovely picture of Tovah standing underneath the Eugene O'Neill marquee with her parents during the run of "Yentl". 


INTO THE WOODS Reviews

I would love to see Orfeh take on the role of the Witch.

I just have to ask out of curiosity are no other actresses outside of women of color considered for this role anymore?

Ohio State Murders to Re-Open The Jones

Beautiful work done on the facade and the entrance overhang. Classy and elegant. Much deserved Mr. Jones! 


“Little Shop” Film Remake Postponed Indefinitely

Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl

Wishing Ms. Michele a speedy recovery so she can return to that stage and continue knocking 'em dead.

I loved this interview with all 4 principals. So much love and support from these 4. Tovah is such a legend and super-adorable. I did not know she originated the role of "Yentl" on stage (she mentions this in the interview).

 


Sam Mendes to direct new Jack Thorne-penned play about the Richard Burton/John Gielgud 'Hamlet'

This is intriguing. My parent owned the recording of this production on vinyl. It consisted of 4 long playing records. 


Stage Adaptation of "High Noon" to open on Broadway in 2023

KevinKlawitter said: "Written by Eric Roth (his Broadway debut), directed by Michael Arden"

Interesting. "High Noon" is one of my all time favorite films. I make it a point to watch it every year. Hoping they cast this with some interesting folks.
