malcs98 said: "Cats: The Jellicle Ball to celebrate 100th performance July 3rd, inviting fans to share your favorite photos from your visit using the hashtag #CatsTJB100 by tomorrow for a chance to be featured on the Broadhurst digital marquee"Perhaps they could announce a cast recording to celebrate this.

Has a cast recording been confirmed for this?

Is there likely to be a cast recording for this?

So how much dialogue is there in this version?I’m guessing the Narrator’s parts?How long are they between each song and is it underscored?!

Absolutely loving what I am hearing so far - great to read so many positive reports. Two questions on the set:- Do those platforms the orchestra are on move up and down or are they static?- Is there any automation of set pieces coming on from the wings or flown in from above; or is the set simply as you see it in the pics?

Hi,Are they still selling the souvenir programme in the theatre?Went to buy one via the merch section on Sunset website, but it's not listed there any more!Thanks!

Is there any firm information re the end of the booking period!?Does Nicole definitely leave 6th July or might she extend?If Nicole doesn't extend, are there any rumours as to whether show would aim to find another star to continue with or close?

Nonetheless, I read this thread because I was curious to see how the topic was going to be rationalized as Broadway-relevant. ALW is, of course, a composer of Broadway musicals, but that's not why certain people are posting here; they're here because this thread provides another excuse to bash h...

GoldenGiggery said: "Carolee is tired of it:I'm tired of it frankly. I wish so many good actors didn't have to defend themselves from nasty hatemongers but also, a show that's this terrible. This whole thing should've just lived and died in the West End; the only reason it was brought and given a new shellacking was ALW's hubris to maintain his show streak."Right. Fairly sure no actors were forced to be in this and they all accepted jobs without being coerced. And they all seem genuinely very...

Hairspray0901 said: "How do you view more than the first four topics on each section on the app? I can’t figure that out."Me neither - I would also like to know this.I normally pick the musical I am interested in first and get into the threads that way. Doesn't seem possible anymore?

Lot666 said: "My husband and I saw the matinee of Bad Cinderella on April 16, with Savy Jackson in the title role. Before the show started, I told him that I was expecting a fluffy, campy, tongue-in-cheek spectacle, and that we would walk out humming the music - and that's just what happened. This show knows exactly what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else.Regrettably, Savy Jackson was merely adequate as Cinderella. While I liked that she wasn't as model-thin asLinedy Genao and ther...

I really don't think this means anything at all. Linedy has been so overwhelmingly positive about her time on Bad Cinderella (and loyal to it) and so endlessly supportive of ALW that if she was auditioning cos she knew the show was ending but it hadn't been announced to the public yet, there's no way she'd flaunt this on Instagram.It will be for a one off something or other or something running alongside her current job.

Phantom4ever said: "So Danny, you're telling me that the London phans are still not happy with the downscaled show, but then you remind us that the downscaled show looks and sounds great?"Well, in essence I suppose. There's a bit of inference in what you say. I can't speak for the London Phans now, but the ones that used to post were pretty anti it. And in the main had not seen it.It is my opinion from when I went to London that it still looks and sounds great, yes. Not as good as the 80's an...

"And we are comparing the changes in London to dusting the set? Yikes this thread really has jumped the shark. I'm not surprised though. The same thing happened on the British theater message boards where the pro-Cameron people just relentlessly supported him and the phans kind of eventually let it go and now everybody over there seems to be walking around going "It's the original 1986 Brilliant Original! They just dusted it!" Respectfully, this is incorrect. If there's one thing the Phans ne...

Jordan Catalano said: "Webber has the cash to keep this show afloat if they want to hire someone to come in and try to boost sales. I think it's a very wise idea for them to at least try it. I'd guess the "star" casting would be either the Queen or Stepmother, but my money would be on Stepmother."I really hope they do have the cash afloat to keep this going a while longer. It's a great show.Is it Webber's decision on Broadway though? In London Webber/RUG is often sole producer (and often in o...

That's what some of us are objecting to - that he's some sort of monster for not wanting to continue paying out money on a losing proposition. That ...

The Scorpion said: "TBFL said: "I spoke to a friend at RUG and he said Hal hadn't been to the London production in years. Then your friend is misinformed (which wouldn't be surprising, since RUG is frequently clueless). Hal had definitely visited the London production as late as 2017. He may have visited in 2018 but I don't know if he had been in London that year. Is your friend at RUG aware Hal died in 2019? A bit of a big ask to expect Hal to visit after that.Since I was weirdly accused her...
