Broadway’s Sexiest Man Alive

quizking101 said: "I figured since People magazine has their annual tradition, we should name our own SMA for Broadway.

The criteria here, though, is that they must have appeared on Broadway (not off-Broadway or regional) within the last year (so, back to November 2023) and can include replacements.

I propose the follow nominees:

  • Tom Francis (Sunset Boulevard)
  • Conrad Ricamora (Oh Mary)
  • Corey Cott (The Heart o
The Music Man 2020 Venue Mystery

Do we think they’re going to move BeetleJuice? Or close? Because they extended ticket sales for Kong, but it was evident in the grosses that they were sitting in 60-70% capacity consistently. BeetleJuice is actually making a lot of money and has consistently been in the 90% capacity range, some times high 80’s. I don’t think they’re gonna close it...

BeetleJuice s doing so well though, and they just extended their ticket sales...

What was the first ever Broadway Revival

I've always wondered what was the first ever Broadway revival...was it Gypsy?


Next to Normal Dream Revival

While those ideas are great, I really think that if they did a revival, they should cast POC in the roles. Mainly because the roles don't NEED to be white. I think Heather Headley would get a Tony


Next to Normal Dream Revival

It's been a little bit since Next To Normal has been on Broadway. It also didn't get its rightful awards at the Tonys. But I would love to see a revival with Heather Headley as Diana and Jesse L. Martin as Dan. Any ideas on who the kids could be?


Miss Saigon 7/7

Lol, I'm exhausted xD


Miss Saigon 7/7

Does anybody know if anyone is out tonight for this evening's performance of Miss Saigon? Thanks!

Kad said: "Audrey needs an actress who looks like an ingénue, who takes the role seriously,  but is just inherently kooky. It's a deceptively hard role to cast. Annaleigh Ashford is probably the closest to the ideal in terms of a "name," but I think a really successful production would find someone off the beaten path.

This is really a show for character actors, through and through. Even Jake Gyllenhaal, despite his looks, is m

That sounds very interesting and different. Also, a Cynthia Erivo voiced plant would probably make me faint from perfection.

I also think that they should add Mean Green Mother from Outer Space if another revival happened

PatrickDC said: "I like I like the idea of Andrew Keenan-Bolger as Seymour. He might need to tone down the twinkle in his eye cuteness and play more vulnerable, fearful, and nerdy. 

Andy Karl, I love the idea as Orin. Think Ted Bundy, the handsome serial killer type. I love characters that have sharp contrasts like that. 

I always had the sense Audrey should be physically older than Seymour, to illustrate she's been around the block, knowing t

Adam Kantor is another great idea! Although I have been dreaming about Ben as Seymour for a few months now. I also feel Ben would be better for ticket sales, seeing as he's the big buzz nowadays. He would definitely sell the show. And Megan Hilty is also a great choice for Audrey.


Little Shop Fantasy Cast

I did see Annaleigh in Sunday, and she was wonderful. I think she fits the character, I just think her vocal type isn't Audrey. She's a strong singer, but she's not a big beltress. Her voice was PERFECT for Dot. Dot needs a nice strong mix. Audrey needs a huge almost rock belt (but not rock). I can see what you're saying about Betsy in a sense. 


Little Shop Fantasy Cast

Can anyone think of a Broadway name that has a huge belt and fits the Audrey character type that is closer to Ben's age? 

 

Cause tbh, Betsy Wolfe doesn't look 35. If I were to watch the show not knowing either of their age, I wouldn't really think that they have a huge age gap. 

 

As I said before, I think Annaleigh fits the character of Audrey, but not the vocal type. I honestly don't think Kerry Butler was the right vocal type


Little Shop Fantasy Cast

Also, Ashford is 32 and Wolfe is 35. Only a 3 year age difference. I still stand by Wolfe.


Little Shop Fantasy Cast

I love Annaleigh, she would definitely be more age appropriate for Ben. But at the same time, Betsy doesn't look 35 to me. I also think Betsy is more the vocal type. They are both belters, but Betsy has the HUGE belt that Ellen Greene had. There's a video of her singing Suddenly Seymour with Darren Criss on YouTube, and it literally sends shivers down my spine.

Audrey 2- James Monroe Iglehart or Michael James Scott

Orin- Rory O'Malley


 

"I still think Andy Karl would be a better choice for Orin. He is PERFECT for the role. I think he could get a Tony nom for it!
