Agreed. Laughable to suggest she wouldn't be a stage draw. 

Would love that but I doubt she does. 

Has anyone heard what the advance is on this? 

No Leg Room said: "Poor seating in main lobby 2 or 3 benches and 100 people standing."

Since when is this a req for a lobby? Near zero Bway houses have it, NYTW, and more. Sure Signature and CSC do but they run coffee shops out of their lobbies, open during outside hours. 

This is hardly the first show not ready for its preview. If she's still struggling weeks from now, ok fine.

But a handful of previews when it's this big a lift is unfortunate but not unimaginable.

It's also worth noting the Catholic Church apologized for Galileo's conviction in 1993. So, not sure why telling that tale and deeds they apologized for would be anti Christian.

Also, very much agree and comments about the strong score, direction and Raul being brilliant. I imagine they've worked on it since Berkeley.

Y'all. If you don't like AI, don't use it. But to act like hating it or demonizing it is going to make it go anywhere, when it's already everywhere and it's just started.

I say whether it's the book, the song, the AI agreement, we let the girl make some money to pay for her and Lorna's retirement. It's their mother, not ours.

There is a new poster for this production on the loading stage door to the right of the lobby- the doors were open and somewhat blocked, so I couldn’t see if there was venue or date info, but it’s very clearly for this production."

Intriguing. Could it have been up from during Sunset times?

I just hope it has a way of not being too old fashioned. The gay twist isn’t enough with such a sentimental piece, for me.

He’s sweet but very tentative when talking and singing. Oddly, throws himself into the physical comedy though. 
 

EDIT: Oddly *and charmingly*. If not quite redeemingly. Hopefully he warms into it more. 

Indeed, the better response would’ve been to congratulate Jeannette on booking the job and then glance over at your Tony with gratitude.

Oh absolutely.

If the Deborah Cox rumors are true, I'm especially confused. The role has to be a strong singer but it's a comic role primarily. 

Anyone else hear those rumors?

 

Thanks for sharing this!

Bummed I can't catch this. If anyone does, do tell.

Would it be appropriate to imagine 20 years ahead and he is King and in the play he has a Diana/Charles like scandal in his straight marriage? Would that be "cruelly demeaning to a child"?

Exactly lol Saying you disliked something and so they had a failure to launch while… commenting on their next project.
