They also cut four minutes out of the munchkin scene. There were several other trims throughout the entire movie to bring it down to 75 minutes so they could get turnover in the seats.The AI background expanded practically every frame of the movie and looks very cheap. They added extra characters generated by...

PabloJuan said: "On eBay, people have been selling those cheap Styrofoam apples that are dropped from the ceiling at the Wizard of Oz Sphere. Some of the prices are listed up to $500. An employee at the theater said that they drop 900 of those apples at every single performance. He encouraged people not to buy them on eBay.If anyone who really knows the movie actually saw this, it would be great to hear details of what was cut from the 141 minutes to reduce it to a 75 minute running time.I of...

TheatreFan4 said: "The Distinctive Baritone said: "I love how this guy continues to try to be the self-appointed moral compass of the theater industry. It's so obnoxious. Anyway, it is not that unusual for tours to make a "stop" on Broadway, and given the horrific economics of New York commercial theater, if this is the only viable option in some cases, I don't see a problem with that. I don't see anyone complaining about non-profit theaters like Roundabout and MTC having Broadway productions...

Melissa25 said: "So the Gaming Board recommended Metropolitan Park (at Citifield), Resorts World (near JFK) and Bally’s will build in the Bronx (and Trump gets his 115 Million).The initial $500 million licensing fee from each of the three casino winners will go to the MTA to help fund transit upgrades. Ongoing gaming tax revenue will also be shared with the MTA to support its operations. So everybody mark your calendars for the transportation system to provide a clean, safe and fast ride sinc...

If your TDF membership gives you decent discounts or special access, $40 is worth it, especially for the convenience of booking in advance. I'd take it just for the ease of logistics and win something you'd otherwise miss out on. By the way, I came across an interesting offer energy casino: 50 free spins it’s a proven resource with a lot of games. Lotteries are fun and smart if you’ve seen the main shows. Good luck with buying something exciting for June!

thedrybandit said: "No, that number is low. I forget what the current Equity minimum for a Broadway salary is, but as of 2018 it was $2,034 a week. I believe now it's closer to $2,200. There are exceptions for non profits and the like, and actors are often able to negotiate higher depending on their credits, if they're a dance captain, etc."I think it’s around $2,200 now too. Plus, big names or leads can negotiate way more, right?

I also enjoy playing through the vocal selections, and it frustrates me that they are becoming harder to find. Everything seems to be going digital, but there's something special about having physical books close at hand. Speaking of going online, I've also started to rely more on digital tools for various writing tasks https://edubirdie.com/edit-my-paper like this site I found to have someone help me edit my work. It became a salvation. But yes, I miss those collections too. Hope they come b...

(YOU may know what a hard worker you...

I like Lynn Nottage. She is an example for me. And in general, the genre of bio-musicals and biographies is fascinating. I know this well because I work for the site https://penfellow.com/biography-writing/ and write various biographies and memoirs for those without writing skills or who cannot structure ideas. I am glad that my biography writing helps beginners in this genre, where you can find incredible success stories that motivate you.
