MOTOWN Reviews

A nit pick: On what planet is the Beatles' "Money (That's What I Want)" the best known version?
Too Soon For A NOISES OFF Revival?

So I see that Jane Curtin played Dottie after Patti. Did anyone see her? I ask because I'm having a hard time seeing her in the role.
Too Soon For A NOISES OFF Revival?

I love the show, and would definitely enjoy a revival. Jordan's suggestion of Jan Maxwell is a good one.

And I've never quite gotten why the film has such a bad reputation -- do people think Bogdanovich isn't that good of a comedy director? I'll be controversial and say What's Up, Doc? is less funnier than Noises Off.

Jason Reitman to stage all-female reading of GLENGARRY with Janney, O'Hara, Whitman, Bello & Wright

I'm actually really excited about Catherine O'Hara doing this.
MAGIC MIKE Will Be Coming On Broadway

Put me down as for this. I'm not so thrilled about a film being adapted to Broadway so soon, but on the other hand, this show could be a hell of a starmaker for many young men. I'd also like it to be a bit more fun than the actual film (one of the best desciptions I've heard of it was a more downbeat Saturday Night Fever).
SPECULATION thread -- the four vacant theaters

We're now down to seven:

Belasco
Longacre
Rodgers
Simon
St. James
Studio 54*
New Amsterdam

* = Could conceivably extend

I know Big Fish and the Les Miz tour are slated for the Simon and New Amsterdam, but I wondered if either were getting short-term tenants. Also, is The Miss Firecracker Contest still on? I seem to recall it being a Shubert production.

Victor Garber Confirms: Yep, He's Gay

Yay!
Confirmed! Julia Roberts & Mark Ruffalo to Star in THE NORMAL HEART for HBO; Directed by Ryan Murphy for 2014

Count me as cautiously optimistic. I like American Horror Story and (parts of) Glee, but never saw Running With Scissors or Eat, Pray, Love.
BREAKING NEWS: REBECCA Still Hoping to Make it to Broadway in 2013?

This has gone from "potential Forbidden Broadway sketch" to just plain sad.
Norm Lewis may need a new agent

Any kind of career advancement (I'm assuming this commercial will be seen by more people than the average viewers of Scandal and everyone who saw Porgy and Bess -- not snotty, just numbers) is good.
DEAD ACCOUNTS to Close on Broadway on January 6

From your voice to God's ears, little_sally.
DEAD ACCOUNTS to Close on Broadway on January 6

Agreed, Jordan.
Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/16/12

I repeat what I said last week -- I really think Dead Accounts is the next to go.
SPECULATION thread -- the four vacant theaters

Bumping this thread for late winter/spring of 2013. Assuming Breakfast at Tiffany's does take the Cort, by my count, there are 11 theaters with nothing lined up for then:

Barrymore
Belasco*
Booth*
Golden
Longacre
Music Box*
Marquis*
Simon
Kerr*
St. James
Studio 54*

* = current production could conceivably extend

Let the speculation begin.


Lost in Yonkers

I approve of the idea of a revival, and Jon Hamm as Louie. Not sure who else I'd cast.
Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/9/12

I'm thinking Dead Accounts will be the next to go. Hope it won't scare Katie away for good.
Worst Show of 2012?

Leap of Faith.
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD is getting a cast recording

Crosses fingers that PS Classics does the recording.
Jeremy Renner for Memphis film Please!!!!

Good voice, but not a sketch comedy performer.
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD Reviews

And, on that note, I've always wondered how Brantley & Isherwood make their decisions on reviews. I assume Brantley gets first dibs on everything, but I'd love to be wrong. I'm quite positive it's not both men's editor arbitraily picking the assignments.
