I think it's actually rather difficult to stage The Sound of Music effectively, but the nuns bowing to each other is just...bizarre. As is trying to shove the movie moment into the middle of the stage version, where it doesn't work. Kinda miss the "Alpine music" that generally greets Maria's intrance before the intro verse, but that's the least of the problems here."I always got the vibe that the idea that the show li...

An interesting point."Ogunquit casts are typically all New York/Broadway actors.And it’s not like Beth and Matt Doyle and Ruthie Ann are “famous” despite being Tony winners — they’re jobbing actors like everyone else."Completely agree with your points but while sitt...

At the height of Meryl in every movie musical, I used to say I wanted a Next to Normal film with a Nicole Kidman/Kate Winslet type with the singing dubbed by Pink. Cast all of the roles that way with famous vocalists dubbing respected actors. Make the dubbing a marketing ploy like Les Mis did with the live singing. I'd prefer to get to experience the Cassie Levy production live, but I can't say I'm not intrigued.

Musicaldudepeter said: "Have we ever got the information on this Tony snub for Into the Woods for Bernadette? Why wasn't she nominated?"I always thought the reason she missed out for Into the Woods was because she opened the show but had left fairly early into the run for a film commitment. Someone with more knowledge than me can probably confirm that

Julia Murney, Paul Alexander Nolan, Krysta Rodriguez, John Bolton, Jason Daniely, Clyde Alves

She's aged out of it by now probably, but I've always wanted to see her take on The Lion in Winter. She's always given me the kind of refined earthiness Hepburn had

It was pleasant enough. Could have used about double Sally Ann Triplett. But I did find myself thinking we get maybe 2 Great Performance proshots a year and this is what they picked?

Jarethan said: "I wouldthink that the awareness that this is such a big hit on Broadway would make this very desirable on the road.Unfortunately, I do not think it is ta good property for the road 'barns'. It is a very small show and will get swallowed up in most of the standard road theatres, which could hurt its reputation. I just picture this in the Straz Theatre in Tampa, for example,and don't see it working. I wonder whether they would be betteroff targeting cities with theatres that do ...

Kad said: "I guess one could argue that Old Deuteronomy and Grizabella are the closest Cats has to "leads" but when you put those roles next to true leading roles, it's kind of hard to see them as anything but featured. Putting them in leading would be to their detriment."I understand the committee would probably rule against them and it's just a theoretical exercise at his point but is there any world where the producers decide a lot of acting nominations without guaranteed wins is better th...

InTheBathroom1 said: "I would LOVE to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the stage."At the height of Veep/30 Rock I wanted a Plaza Suite revival with her and Alec Baldwin

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "Any guesses on Queen of Versailles making it this long of a run, or less?"Is Redwood the new Liz Truss cabbage?

I would love a revival of Anyone Can Whistle with Radcliffe as Hapgood, Jinkx Monsoon as Cora, and someone like Joy Woods or Jasmine Amy Rogers as Fay.

I need the rumored CSC production of Anyone Can Whistle to coincide with this so I can knock them out in one trip. How exciting!!

VintageSnarker said: "I keep seeing ads during Amazing Race and I wish I'd been watching from the beginning.Is it episodic enough for me to just jump into a random episode? Or should I wait to get Paramount+ and watch from the beginning?I've never seen The Good Wife/Fight."Omg do yourself a favor and check out all three!

StylishCynic said: "I've been listening since 11 PM last night, and I'm still digesting. There are a lot of delivery choices that changed for the album, and I'm just really accustomed to the slightly quicker, bigger performances from the stage.I just now realized... they didn't includethe monologues at the end, and now I'm completely gutted. Seems like such a huge miss to 1) capture each of these actors' incredible take on the material and 2) give listeners who didn't see the show a sense oft...

Near to You from Damn Yankees. It’s not modern but it’s beautiful

This is all so meta. Has Paramount called asking to use her car in a picture?
