I wonder if they'd try to get Megan Thee Stallion, she'll have just finished up her run in Moulin Rouge, she's got a great personality and certainly has crossover appeal.

These are all the names I could think of, although some are obviously unlikey:

Shocked by her passing. May her memory be a blessing.

Jane Morgan has passed away at 101. Ms. Morgan was best known as a nightclub singer who was a regular performer on late night shows, most notably "The Ed Sullivan Show". She may be best remembered for her cover of the standard “Fascination,” which was featured in Billy Wilder’s 1957 film Love in the Afternoon. She retired from performing in 1973.

She was the second replacement for Mame Dennis in the original Broadway production of Mame after original star Angela Lansbury and first replacement Janis Paige. With Ms. Paige's passing last year, also at 101, Jane Morgan was the last living actress to have played the role on Broadway. Other Broadway Mames include Celeste Holm, Ann Miller, Charlotte Fairchild, and Sheila Smith.

Is there anyone here who saw Jane Morgan in the role? Here she is with the Broadway company performing It's Today and We Need A Little Christmas on "The Ed Sullivan Show".

There will be a pre-Broadway run of this. I imagine it's looking at the 26–27 season for Broadway.

For me, Jack Black would be the ideal Bialystock for a revival. I know he's done a lot of live performing as part of Tenacious D, but I wonder if he's ever considered Broadway...he'd also be a great Tevye in a Fiddler revival now that I think about it.

Just a heartbreaking day. May his memory be a blessing.

Haven't seen it here yet but The Effect was absolutely thrilling when I saw it in London last September. Couldn't recommend it enough and really hoping I have the chance to go again at The Shed!

Did anyone see this in London?

Chaim Topol, the spirited Israeli actor and singer who, one season following another, portrayed Tevye the milkman in Fiddler on the Roof on stages all around the world and in an Oscar-nominated turn in Norman Jewison’s 1971 film adaptation, has died. He was 87.

Topol by his own estimation connected with Tevye more than 3,500 times over more than four decades, starting with a Hebrew-language production in his home country when he was 30.

“How many people are known for one part? How many people in my profession are known worldwide? So, I am not complaining,” he said in a 2015 interview. “Sometimes I am surprised when I come to China or when I come to Tokyo or when I come to France or when I come wherever and the clerk at the immigration says, ‘Topol, Topol, are you Topol?’ So yes, many people saw it [Fiddler], and it is not a bad thing.”

If anyone is looking to sell a ticket to this please message me, absolutely dying to see this!

Kristin is doing a workshop this spring of an adaptation of a documentary from the past 15 years with a score by a previous collaborator of hers. 

I’m seeing it in a few days, will report back!

Minnelli?ThisMinnelli? Compared toLea? Reputation and reality are not always the same."

Michele? “Sh*t in your wig” Michele? Compared to Liza? EG*OT winner? Queen of the Nepo Babies? One of the greatest entertainers of our time? Please exit the standom and get yourself an education because clearly your “reality” is not the same as the one we’re all living in.

Into the Woods just posted this on their instagram.

Could this be them teasing an extension/new theater announcement as some have previously speculated on here? 

This is happening. A 4 week developmental lab started this week, Michael Greif is directing with choreography by Camille A Brown, Alicia Keys is doing the music and lyrics and Kristoffer Diaz, who wrote the book for Hercules at The Public, is writing the book. It’s a coming of age story about a young woman in Hell’s Kitchen in the 90’s named Ali — which highly suggests this piece is at least semi autobiographical if not fully.
