Anyone else think Ariana DeBrose will be offered Broadway if she's now available? Rachel is a very talented singer but I can't imagine American audiences clamoring to see her. She's one of the least liked actors in America--- Ariana is loved by the public and broadway.

I don't think I've read one great review about this show, but any word on cast recording being released?

I adore GYPSY and was stoked to hear Audra was going to play Mama Rose, but like most, she was terribly miscast and the face they didn't change the music enough to show off her true talent makes it all more noticeable. She sounds like she's trying really hard to be a Mama Rose without actually being Mama Rose. I do hope they find someone with the actual Mama Rose range for the national tour. Audra is amazing, but this was not for her.

I was stoked to hear about the new revival and Audra casting, but the role requires someone who can real belt. Never crossed my mind that she's the first soprano to play it on Broadway...

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but the trailer shown before Furiosa edited out the 'popular' singing featured in the trailer.

This was a given flop. There was nor is any audience for this production. Clear it for something better. No disrespect to Lempicka fans but a better show will come along.

Do we know if this show will get a cast recording?

All his shows feel the exact same - the basic sets, the basic costumes, the basic program and poster. There's only so much before get bored. He needs to do something different. But, I am sure we'll see another 50s/60s musical that he'll adapt exactly the same way. Yawn.

While I appreciate the production, Kinky Boots shined above in every aspect. Matilda is cute though.

Does anyone have the song list for the 2018 concert [as that's what the revival will be]? Wondering if it's more like the original or the 2001 London version. Thanks

This looks looks exactly the same as his South Pacific and King & I. I guarantee this will be another stripped down version with pillars to represent castle towers. His version of King & I lacked all the extravagance and excitement that the 90s revival was able to capture. I know he has his fans...I'm just not one.

The cover looks like a program used for a community theater production. Then again, the sets for this revival also look like a community theater production. I've always been a fan of elaborate stage shows vs bare bones [personal opinion] but at least it's something...different...

Anyone find it weird that it is virtually impossible to find any audio recordings of Beanie as Fanny? I can find complete recordings of Lea and Julie as well as videos but outside of brief :30 second clips, they seem to have been wiped. I am curious to hear her version of certain songs vs how true Broadway performers [Lea and Julie] sing them.

I figured that "Home," "A Change In Me," "If I Can't Love Her," "Human Again", and "Evermore" would be added into this performance with the small possibility of "Me".

This might be a stupid question but is there a reason this production didn't incorporate the improvements from the film? I've seen numerous productions of Grease that manage to combine the original show as well as the more famous film version. I just do not understand why they chose to go back to a lackluster book that was fixed in the film.

I would be VERY surprised if Fiyero was not someone with more clout, fame and popularity. I think all the supporting roles could be filled by Broadway talent but I guarantee the big roles will be big names. It'll be the same as in Les Mis - bigger film/tv actors for the main roles and fill the rest of the roles by top notch broadway veterans.

I am so over all the people complaining about the situation. You have ZERO money riding on the show, so your opinion and ideas are absolutely pointless [if not hilarious to read.] I absolutely understand the producers with their situation -- this revival was made a big deal and ended up being a show the community and Broadway audiences laughed at. Beanie is an entertaining actor but there is nothing about her or her 'talent' that is extraordinary or beyond that of every girl in her age range....

Apologies if this has been discussed but anyone else think they'll release a Funny Girl album once Lea joins?

I would bet money that we'll get a recording in early fall.

Sutton Ross said: "I guess everybody is entitled to their own opinion but to make comparisons to Gerard Butler and Russell Crowe is really stretching it. And to infer that Justin Bieber could have probably done a better job is as "eye roll" inducing as inferring that Nick Jonas was the highlight of the Les Miz concert.100%. Comparing Ansel (an actual singer) against two actors who simply cannot carry a tune is beyond ridiculous. And um, Justin Bieber, like Britney Spears has NEVER hit a corre...
