I guess the digital release is no longer in March. According to Apple Music and Spotify, it's being released in May.

I'm curious how long this surely "strictly limited engagement" will likely be. 

I'm hearing the digital release will be on December 30.

Hey, Zelda! said: "Out of curiosity: in a universe where TITANIQUEwere to sweep the Tonys, including Best Musical, would that be the first time that both a serious treatment and a spoof of the same subject matter ended up taking top prize?"

Plot twist: get City Center to transfer Titanic and the we can have a two ship day.

BrodyFosse123 said: "The WICKED films have now come and gone. The over saturation of press interviews and appearances are done and hopefully after the Oscars we can now move on from this WICKED bit. Curious what’s the next Broadway musical film adaptation slated for attacks?"

After the Actors on Actors yesterday, I want Jonny Bailey and David Corenswet in Guys & Dolls ASAP.

On today’s episode of the Dancing with the Stars podcast, Elaine Hendrix revealed that, now that the season is over, her plans include some Broadway plans in the works, and the desire for more live performance opportunities. I would have to think that it has to be Chicago, no? Like a Velma, since she wants to do more dance…?

The Public Theater has unveiled their 2026 Free Shakespeare in the Park season, which they're titling "Shakespeare for the City." The institution's newly renovated Delacorte Theater, located in Central Park, will host new productions of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and The Winter's Tale, run dates and casting to be announced.

The Public Works series, which has New York community members and professional actors sharing the stage, will also return to the Delacorte in 2026. The title and artists involved will be announced at the later date.

Public Associate Artistic Director Saheem Ali (Fat Ham, Buena Vista Social Club) will be at the helm for Romeo and Juliet, returning to the summer series after leading this past summer's staging of Twelfth Night (streaming now on PBS). Winter's Tale will be directed by Tony winner Daniel Sullivan, who has directed The Merry Wives of Windsor and A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Shakespeare in the Park.

Do you feel the pressure of the fandom when you’re reviving these classic musicals?

Absolutely. In Dreamgirls, it was a balance. That show was sung-through onstage. It was two hours and 40 minutes. It’s impossible to do in a movie — you need relief. So we had an hour and 45 minutes of that score retained, but there’s a song called “Ain’t No Party,” and people condemn me to this day on chat boards about cutting that. I think many people’s favorite song in Kiss of the Spider Woman is “Dressing Them Up.” It’s not Molina’s “I want” song, but it’s sort of the song that defines him. It’s a beautiful Kander and Ebb song. I tried so hard to figure out how to get it in. He hums it in the movie just as a little Easter egg. But I think there are going to be people who do not forgive the movie for that, and I understand it. And the only thing I’d say to them is if you’re true to the medium you’re working in, and you want to tell this story in that way, you have to throw everything up in the air and, in a way, start over.
