They could always get Alan and Kristin to do it together again, they’d also be amazing. Cynthia was an exceptional host so I’d be happy if she returned."

I feel like the year Alan and Kristin hosted together isn’t fondly remembered…that said I feel

Theater is not about opportunities. It’s about which director won the last Tony or major hit at the box office. People forget it’s a business. I hear you, but his name gets investors inter

The unpaid intern issue has sunk them, with among other things that were out of their control. But I don't know if I would agree that their entire history was based on the exploitation of interns. It began more or less

DramaTeach said: "Felt about the movie the same way I feel about act 2 - good but full or ballads, so it drags. There was a lot of crying on that screen. There were potentials for bright spots with the new songs, but Schwartz gave us more ballads (guess No Place Like Home is midtempo, but could’ve been way more joyous - like don’t leave because we LOVE it here so much that we’re all gonna have a big, fun dance moment!). Here are the performances in order or who I th

inception said: "Most people prefer to go into a show NOTknowing all the ins & outs of the plot. Unfortunately for this show, it is perhaps best enjoyed when you are prepared for where it goes.

A young lady seated beside me tonight was so completely angry at the break for intermission. She was just furious that the Wife would leave her husband for a creepy stalker type guy. That's a paraphrase of her words.

I think when I know the score a bit better I’m gonna make a playlist where I combinethe plot of Vanessa’s and Stokes’ big moments, Chita’s big songs and maybe some moments of the movie tbd there."

LOL, I made a play list combining the tw

EricMontreal22 said: "Oh I actually do prefer the Hairspray soundtrack (though I have been obsessed with the Chicago OBCR--even with all the missing music--since I was 12 when it was still impossible to find on CD and I found a used vinyl, so that has my heart.)

If you do listen to the Vanessa Kiss I'd be interested to hear what you think. (Also, you probably know this, but there is a good, for its time, bootleg of the original Broadway production on YT--I think if you

Chita’s voice has a depth and imperfection that feels a lot like the aging stars of the day-Judy, Liza, etc. I vastly prefer the OBCR.

I mean to be fair, off the top of my head I can'
