FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread

Sep 13, 2022 — 5:43:57 PM

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 duties of a live-in maid and a chauffeur!

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: I posted something that was hap...

The uproar over Halle Bailey's casting in this film is disturbing. It's also happening with the casting choices for House of the Dragon and Rings of Power. No matter how these objectors try to justify their views it is blatant racism. Where was it ever written that any of these characters had to be specifically white? These are tales that are rooted in fantasy! The racist backlash to people of color in fantasy is rooted in a larger desire to erase us from all facets of society.

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.

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?

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).
