I just refuse to believe that they can’t find the right age-appropriate actresses for this. The girls are busting out of the seams with talent. Obviously there’s a lot going on with the creative and producing of this show, but I don’t think this is just a casting thing. My general feeling is (especially after The Wiz), if they can’t figure out how to do this the right way, they need to just not do it. I’d rather have no production than a lackluster one.

I think that The Wiz deserves a TRULY visionary revival to make up for the last one

Love this show! Was so hoping to see stars like Sherie Rene Scott, Stephanie J Block, or even Jane Krakowski the mix. Pipe dream was Miss Piggy for a special performance!

I don’t think I’ve seen more of a “death rattle” level of stunt casting in quite some time. I’ll probably buy a ticket just to have it and toss it if shedoesn’t pan out.The fact that the history of this role includes Danny Burstein, Boy George, Tituss Burgess, Bob The Drag Queen, and...

I feel like there’s an annual major production or concert of this. The years are now decades.

I refuse to read through this thread because I'm not interested in reading the most surface level and off-base takes on race and microaggressions from BWW users, and I already know it devolved into anti-Black nonsense within the first two pages.Audra was just asked about in an interview with Gayle King, and she said she didn't even know there was a "rift" between the two of them and she hasn't seen her in over a decade because she's been booked and busy.Unfortunate all around. Rooting for Aud...

I’m guessing “Alive Forever” for Death Becomes Her— maybe paired with a truncated version of one of Viola’s numbers to add context at the start.I could maybe see them doing “Hit Me” because it has gone pretty viral, but there are so many visual gags that I could see them not wanting to spoil (even though they’ve all been recorded and posted online at this point)

Let's also keep in mind that people are getting sick now more than ever. Not saying that's the reason behind every absence, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is behind a majority of them. "Post"-Covid, immune systems are shot, and we have fifty-leven different viruses floating around New York right now. Sometimes illness takes days to recover from, other times it can be quicker. Actors also have children to attend to who may also fall ill.We really don't now what's going on, and I'm hesitant ...

Also grew up watching this show and being very obsessed with it. I was actually probably TOO young to watch it when it first came out. For context, I was in middle school when I first started posting and that was in the year leading up to the Into the Woods movie. As a mega-fan of Smash, I left the show feeling very mixed.I was actually very happy that they changed up the plot and characters because I wouldn't have wanted to see the new version interfere with what I've come to love very much,...

She did the option up when I went in December!

I saw Kaleigh the first time she went on. I was initially a bit disappointed Megan was out, but Kaleigh was great! I saw it a second time because I wanted to see it with Megan, and she was spectacular, as expected. They both have a different take on the role, and Megan leans into the campy melodramatic divadom that I really live for. In many ways, the role does seem tailor made for her. Her line reading of "semester..." still cracks me up! The Tonight Show performance was fabulous, but it rea...

So-- how does Jlo...sound? I have no doubt she's probably serving for most of the movie, especially in the dance department. She definitely has a unique star quality, but I'm particularly curious about how she sounds on the title song.It definitely seems like the type of song she would have the courage to attempt (she's been covering Barbra Streisand on various occasions for the past decade), but does it actually land?

Would there be an announcement made at any point this afternoon confirming who (if anyone) is out tonight or any other way to find out? Considering reselling my Orchestra ticket if Megan Hilty is out tonight and going another time because I was really looking forward to her performance, specifically.I might end up going anyway and getting rush tickets to another performance that she’s in, but I’m just weighing my options…

Don't really know how that will sound or who will be doing the singing, but I'm somewhat intrigued!

INCREDIBLE show! Everyone needs to go and see it. Brilliant all around: writing, direction, cast, design, HAIR-- all amazing!It really felt like being in an African Hair Braiding Salon for a full day. As for the ending: Click Here To Toggle Spoiler ContentThe shift really did throw me for a loop, but I like that it did that. I understood why, and I like that there was still a sense of hope. It really brought the whole thing together in a very poignant way.

Hilty is going to be a revelation-- her Broadway musical return is long overdue!
