Kenny Leon is pretty good at respectable productions of classic plays, so I hope he will do well with this work. He is at the very least a tasteful director so I'm sure he wouldn't have the nerve to cast hearing actors in the deaf roles.

Rough week for LOVE LETTERS and ONCE. I can't imagine that LES MIZ will last past January.

No, it was a perfect list until they revised and updated it (unnecessarily).

The script is available on Samuel French and War and Peace is always available at your local library.

Both ONCE and CINDERELLA dropped below the dreaded 60% Mark and LOVE LETTERS barely made over $100,000. Rough week for all.

Wait, Whizzer what was the musical about writers in a dilapidated Brooklyn apartment based on a non fiction book?

Sounds like it may be a contender for best musical at the Tony Awards! Has anybody else seen this yet?

I told everyone that Rannells wouldn't hold an audience for HEDWIG

September is a rough month for everyone.

I've always found him to be one of the best actors working today, and every single performance he gives is pretty phenomenal. Also, his singing voice is much stronger than both Rannels' and Harris'

Truly tragic news. And to think people were making fun of her in the off-topic thread.

I really think that the movie is good enough and captured Barbra's performance well enough that we don't need another production. It was a show written for her and she is what makes the movie good. Nobody else could do that role as well as her, so why should we get somebody else who wouldn't do it well enough? Oh, and if always crack up at the Roller Skate Rag, and I prefer it to Cornet Man

I agree with him kind of on this one (though I can never forgive him for hating HELLO, DOLLY!) but I think that in order to find criticism he only watched 2 scenes from both the movie and the musical and found his meager criticisms in those, instead of properly watching both (but can you blame him? The Mame movie is terrible!) and making his criticisms from that.

So I am not allowed to have an opinion on a message board for opinions about theatre, just be causes you don't share my opinion? I will not hush my opinion merely because you don't want others to see that somebody doesn't like your precious little favorite musical. It was painfully bad to sit through and generic in the worst of ways with soap operatic drama that literally made me laugh in the middle of the show. It was one of the worst travesties in Tony award history when that show won over ...

PORGY AND BESS lost money, and they would have lost more money on the viciously expensive CRY-BABY and BRING IT ON than they would have made on those three plays, but yes BILLY ELLIOT was a success, though a garbage musical.

Wow, they have not made good investment choices since WICKED.

Mister Matt, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, and DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS all recouped

Two intermissions is nice. It gives a nice bit of respite and breaks up shows better than just one intermission.
