Kind of how he basically brought his Regents Park production of Evita to the west end.What colour paint did he dump on Giorgio at the end?"No no, he was a very traditional director back then. Which is why I think it will be a new production, his directing style has changed too much

Does anyone know what he's been up to since his last appearance in Chicago at Long Beach in 1992?

Maureen Moore's Rose in Gypsy, Joanna Riding's Charlotte in A Little Night Music, Jenna Russell's Cinderella in Into the Woods, Mary Millar's Sally in Follies, David Carroll's Robert in Company, Philip Quast and Phylicia Rashad in Sunday in the Park with George, Marin Mazzie's Beth in Merrily We Roll Along.In her show at the Carlyle, Elaine Stritch used to sing a wonderful "The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened to Me" and Barbara Walsh recorded a pretty stellar "Losing My Mind".

lastmidnights said: "Saw Gypsy tonight. If Danny is nominated for this part, it is a crime against humanity that Dez Duron wasn't nominated for Maybe Happy Ending. I at least walked away from that show remembering his character."With the exception of the Lansbury revival, every production of Gypsy had their Herbie nominated for a Tony and Boyd Gaines even won. It's hardly a thankless role.

Paul Mescal will lead a 2027 Lyttleton repertory season at the National Theatre, including ‘A Whistle in the Dark’ by Tom Murphy – Directed by Caitriona McLaughlin (in a co-production with Dublin’s Abbey Theatre). He’ll also play Biff in Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ – Directed by Rebecca Fracknall. I think he mentioned it was a dream role of his and now curious to see who they'll cast as Willydeadline.com/2025/04/paul-mescal-monica-barbaro-national-theatre-lineup-12...

She would have been terrifying, funny, and incredibly sexy.At a minimum she would have sung it as well as or better thanDaly.Timing would have had to be in the 70s-80s, around the time of the Lansbury or Daly revivals, which was kind of a fallow period for Rita post-THE RITZ."Didn't Moreno play Rose together with her daughter in the early 90s? Maybe ...

If I'm not wrong he controversially cut the epilogue, among other things

VintageSnarker said: "ellieptical said: "I didn't like David Thaxton when I saw him in Les Mis but he was an absolute wonder in this production."Bumping this old thread because I was curious if anyone else saw this production and had opinions. Even with the Olivier win, there doesn't seem to be any promotional footage online. After seeing him in Sunset Boulevard, I'm very curious about Thaxton's take though, of course, he looks very different as Max than he did in 2010 playing Giorgio."Sondhe...

Does anyone know more about him? There's not much I can find online, apart from the fact that he was South-African, he played Mary Sunshine in several productions of Chicago from the Broadway premiere to the Long Beach revival (1992) and that during the 70s he used to sing in cabaret venues with his partner Anne Ault.

I assumed it was about her very recent widowhood.

What a voice he had, he sang my favorite "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat". What a terrible September

Does he enjoy it when his shows flop on Broadway? There's no other explanation

Confirmed London run at the National Theatre Lyttleton, 23 April-28 June 2025. Tracie Bennet & Denis O'Hare returning, joined by Rory Kinnear (Bishop? Max?)

Yeah awful people doing theatre is unheard of

I haven't seen it, but you should check TheatreBoard (London equivalent of this board), where people seem to like it https://theatreboard.co.uk/thread/10981/why-single-garrick

Berthe in Pippin? Especially for Irene Ryan, who did much less on stage than Andrea Martin in the revival (and Martin also appeared in the opening number)

What I look forward to the most is The Invention of Love at Hampstead, starting in early Dec

I suspect The Artist should aim for a limited season at the Sadler's Wells rather than a West End run
