It would be impossible for me to be more jealous. If I could have taken a few days off of work in Sydney I would be flying there myself for this. Hope you have the best time tonight.

This piece by Sarah Sweeney in Vogue was also beautiful. I was lucky enough to meet them both in Brisbane on that Australian tour of Driving Miss Daisey and can attest, first hand at what a kind and generous spirit she was. Pure class. Sadly missed. https://www.vogue.com/article/my-time-with-angela-lansbury?fbclid=PAVERFWANfi-hleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpxyyr8zlwn3J6R_Smzh3oSIxqkJc1-KLwjSscszOni01Z7aNmcNiOQ6yDKCo_aem_ZxOUrxYTsH-uACzgHv2vnA

What did he do in this one?". He was playing the piano. Outside the stage door, I overheard him say it was really tough trying to keep his cameo appearance a secret from the cast. Shaiman also spent a good deal of time signing autographs."I have nothing but good things to say about him. Mostly because he ...

Since taking a tour of Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre I’ve been harbouring a wish to see a production of Into The Woods amongst all that splendour. But since discovering the Murtoa Stick Shed after moving to Melbourne I think an immersive production below those beams would be a designer’s dream.

It sounds like they went ahead and staged the version from The Object of my Affection.

Dollypop said: "I have never met Kevin Anderson but Patti told me he was fired along with her."He left the show in London months before Patti & from what I remember reading in that (Shawshank Redemption) Evening Standard article quoted above he stated that he removed himself from the toxic environment of Sunset Boulevard in support of his co-star’s treatment (and his own mental health) - effectively ruling himself out of the Broadway run. A shame as he was head and shoulders above any other L...

JDonaghy4 said: "the comparisons here to The Bands Visit boggle my mind. Yazbeck's music moves the plot, the play is funny and full of characters you want more and more of. This is missing all of that. Snooze."I agree with this 100%. I found The Bands Visit charming and engaging, and TGFTNC like watching paint dry.

Would Howard Ashman have cast him? I very much doubt it.But if you want to see a “hot” Seymour in glasses and a tank top then sure, why not? But don’t pretend he fits the casting description in the script because he really doesn’t. It’s a move to shift tickets plain and simple - which is valid too. And a much better choice than a random YouTuber.

MollyJeanneMusic said: "For all you wondering about the "unattractive" factor, it immediately brought to mind for me something Julian Fellowes said about casting Laura Carmichael as Edith Crawley in Downton Abbey. I can't think of the exact wording, but to paraphrase, he basically said that you shouldn't cast an "ugly" person as an "ugly" character. I'll see if I can find where he said it."Sounds like he meant nasty rather than unattractive for the character definition though. I could be wron...

Beetlejuice’s figures continue to defy expectations. Surely there will be an announcement about a transfer soon?

Some amazing stories of performers going above and beyond to keep the show going. Thanks for posting.A refreshing change after all the bashing of the modern work ethic that has been common on the board lately. Not sure even Merman herself would have flown to London to save a show the following night.

Yes. Both occurred in the rain, but they also both occurred during choreography. Perhaps they should cut all the dance segments too? Or, you know just NOT “overdo it”, re-tech (as necessary) to make every aspect of the show safe (if there ARE any slip hazards) and continue to present the, much praised production that is currently on stage.I work in Special Effects. Almost everything can be dangerous if not given the proper respect by everyone involved. Accidents are very regrettable but they ...

Well this sneaks in to being the most pointless, self-indulgent thread of the decade. Congrats.
