He's been on tour with his band. I think he could handle eight shows a week.

Or they are just not that impressed. This video you posted is fine. But I'm not blown away by it.

 His singing and dancing would be fine.

I question the quality of his acting mostly,

I think you're right on the money with Rannells. But despite the nod from Lane himself I don't like the suggestion of Jack Black. I think the character has a certain feigned refinement that I can't see Black pull off. However I could see Josh Gad do it. And a revival with a reunion of a pairing that took Broadway by storm is a marketing no brainer.

Plus both of them have made a name for themselves in film and TV.

 

I'd love to see Rachel Bloom take on the role. I think she'd be perfect 

I just hope that the director can reign  Ariana in from her performative approach and bring forward in her real integrity to the role. I do think she can do it both vocally and authentically with the right direction. However, her performative approach to talk shows and press circuits during the Wicked press tour makes me doubtful. I just feel that someone in her circle has convinced her that more is more at the expense of her being really authentic.

I'm surprised she hasn't been mentioned for Oh Mary!

When an artist is reduced to asking for money to make Happy Birthday selfie videos, you know your career has somewhat taken a detour. Where did things go wrong, Matthew? Hopefully this short stint in JUST IN TIME reignites something. Truly wishing you the best, mon frere."


Judging someone for making money when times are tough and work is scarce is a wild take. It reminds me of the assholes who draggedGeoffrey Owensfor bagging groceries in between gigs. Disgusting and none of their business.

Go get em, Matthew!"

Yes, the film and television industry is struggling now. It never fully recovered from the pandemic or the strikes. Also A-list actors are doing streamers and TV like never before. And Broadway has more " stars" it seems more and more every year,

It's hard to make it in the business and even harder to maintain a career.

Look up some of the actors who were leads on big tv shows in the 90's and 2000's. How many are still regularly working.

Even Groff was likely more of a household name in the last few years through his tv projects. I'm pretty sure that was a factor in getting this show up and running in the first place.

As I mentioned in the other thread after listening to a recent podcast he was on, he wasn't interested in doing a full run of a show on Broadway because of his family. So a few weeks run would probably work for him.

We will find out soon enough.

Going to your “family member”’s dress rehearsal and posting a review on BroadwayWorld is tacky AF."

I’m sorry, but if a production invited that many attendees to the final dress and did not give restriction, they’re confident in the work andclearlyexpect people to talk about it and build some buzz. And nycward was very positive about the production!

Would anyone comment who attended on Morrison’s performance?

You have no proof of that.

Yes of course. Everyone who came forward lied.

Think this show is perfect for Matt.
I agree Stine  is a better fit for him.
But him and Stephen together would be incredible.

The theatre company I work with which is amateur and is in Canada, on the west coast, was considering producing this play with the original gender casting in fall 2019. Is there a possibility that we won't get the performing rights if a professional production will possibly be running at the same time, even if it's a different country and coast?
