There was a genuine divide here between people who thought her vocals were fine, or she was capable of handling them with a little more practice, and those who thought she was simply abysmal. You don't get such disparate responses if your star is a total failure.."And this played out in 1994, when Glenn Close replaced Lupone in "Sunset Boulevard". To this day, the...

It will be interesting how the chemistry and potential revisions in the show will shift with Lea Michele. Most of the appeal of the original show was that this gawky funny gal had THIS voice, and poor relatively inexperienced Beanie has neither the comic timing nor the singing chops to pull it off. Again, does not have the Voice. Above all, FG is a star vehicle and it collapses without that center.Now Bigger more established “names” than Lea Michele have bombed on BW, so I’m amused an alumni ...

Radcliffe I find to be hard working and above competent, but none of the stage performances I’ve seen of him has he soared. That’s not a knock just that overall I can see why he wasn’t singled out for a nom for HTS.I am looking forward to him in Merrily.

Straight actors playing gay is many times award bait, as is, for example, younger white actresses using prosthetics to make themselves unattractive for a "daring" or "courageous" role. We get it: It's acting, so it shouldn't matter. (It's the role, not the person, yada, yada, yada)The disconnect is that straight (per public perception) male actors get most of the roles available regardless. It's the same issue when white actresses get most roles regardless and in addition get "ethnic" roles t...

I think London got it right. "I love London but for vibrant raw energy give me Mexico City.Seinfeld’s point is well taken: major cities have ebbs and flows; London survived the Bubonic plague in the 1600’s that killed off a quarter of the population. Hell, Paris took 2 centuries to recoup after the Black Plague killed of...

Yes, "Newsies" has impressive choreography, but the show was incredibly dated and tired from it's premiere. Book and score are by the numbers.

The answer is no. Jordan Roth is not the most successful theatre owner.

Who gets to decide?Even today, I will find myself singing along to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah", does that mean I don't find the actual film it came from Disney's "Song of the South" offensive or at the least problematic? Some can't detach it from the movie it came from, so yes I can understand their visceral negative reaction."The King and I " has one of, if not the best score/numbers of any of the R & H body of work so there's that. Of course it's not historically accurate, and it's depictions of th...

Would kill for a move adaptation of "City of Angels"

As a teenager in NY, whose mom did let him go see Musicals on his own, and that was when the area was really sketchy, the original Pippin with Ben Vereen and Jill Clayburgh, and Mack and Mabel with Bernadette Peters.

I don't think Platt is too old, just that I find his acting woefully unsubtle.

AADA81 said: "Sondheim's later scores, starting with Sunday in the Park With George, are overwritten, too obviously clever and over-reliant on rhyming patterns." Listen, Sondheim can be too clever, and sometimes a song's melody get's lost the maze and never gets out.

Alex Kulak2 said: "I don't want to click through 44 pages.Andrew Lloyd Webber plagiarizes half his music and the other half sounds as complex as nursery rhymes....."That doesn't really qualify as an unpopular opinion.

Not so much Broadway, as Broadway musicals but Anthony (Pyscho) Perkins was in two musicals, Sondheim’s Evening Primrose and Frank Loesser’s Greenwillow.I have the Greenewillow cast album, not bad actually....

JGPR2 said: "" Her. Career. Is. Over. "So she stays at home and raises her child with her husband with millions of dollars in the bank, tough life -lol. She waits 4-5 years after the child is older and then does an "apology" tour and many people will let it go. You have professional athletes who commit a felony and all is forgiven."Forget professional athletes, there are many male actors that have done far worse and come back and all is forgiven.I've always liked Lea, but there has simply bee...
