The material was so in his bones, anyone who fills the shoes after isn't going to match that. The show was conceived FOR him."Saw the show this (Labor Day) weekend and Jeremy was in fine shape. Comparing all the footage I've seen of Groff, I get it, he's just in a league of his own. Not surprising, considering th...

BrodyFosse123 said: "Mark Ballas, like Derek and Julianne Hough, no longer does pro dancer duties on any of the DANCING WITH THE STARS franchises so unless a vacancy opens up on the judges table, his only involvement with this season will be as a guest judge. He can currently be seen as a judge on the pre-filmed DANCING WITH THE STARS: The Next Pro."FYI Mark Ballas is returning to DWTS as a pro this coming season, paired with Maura from Traitors.Decided to use JIT's current discount code and ...

Just finished listening to it. Thought it came out really well. I was worried about Rachel's...shall we say forceful tones? But at least on the recording, she acquitted herself quite well. Diego can do no wrong. The Spanish pronunciations, I don't get why it was such a big deal, they never felt out of place, or shoe-horned in.

The show is about to hit that post-Labor Day slump and struggling as it is, I'm glad they're finally pivoting, either to a grand closure or a move Off-Broadway.

What a loss. So many of her sets are simply iconic and instantly memorable, even all these years later.

I'm excited for about 50% of this casting.

Damn. What a legacy.

I feel like I always forget it's there. And I used to work there. Without a real "anchor tenant" - as in a long-running name to draw attention to that theatre, like an Avenue Q or Rock of Ages - you just don't hear much about it.

saxpower said: "Saw & Juliet yesterday. Knew of the QR code issue. Didn't notice it at first (thought it was part of an ad). Given the Sondheim is underground I couldn't get a good signal and had to use Roundabout's wi-fi. This would normally be fine, but connecting required me to provide my name and e-mail. I just used random letters which it accepted.If they are going to do this, the QR code should be easily noticeable and if the audience is going to have to use the theatre's wi-fi to conne...

everythingtaboo said: "Very gracious for Aaron to cede the closing performance back to Douglas. Such a gentleman.As I've seen Aaron multiple times between Boston and Broadway, my final visit to the Rouge will be Aug 13, so see Christian Probst."So Probst didn't get to go on 8/13, Douglas did. He was fine, I think I would've preferred Probst.The rest of the show, however, is in tremendous shape. Kelsie Watt, who I still don't know much about, was excellent as Satine. Eric Anderson being back t...

RippedMan said: "Without the in the round staging I can't help but think "why?" with this revival? What makes it so special or need to happen? Just the casting?"The why is the major updating of the book, and the casting that comes with it.I think NPH is part of the Disney D23 this weekend, maybe it was a scheduling conflict keeping from making the announcement this week.

I saw her three times over the run, including during previews and towards closing, and with each viewing, her performance deepened and overall, I much preferred her, and the production, to the Patti and Audra versions.

It's crazy that the line "I'm older than I ever intended to be" is going to be delivered by someone born in 2002.
