Re: City of Angels at Ogunquit Playhouse
The Donna/Oolie character works so well with a plus-size performer. I would love to see Bonnie Milligan’s take on the role.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY @ Shakespeare Theatre DC
Mirvish started teasing a Toronto transfer on Monday with this clip, although it’s now been pulled down from their socials: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ4cEIkDEqy/
SWEENEY TODD at La Mirada
I commented on a promo video that the 2005 John Doyle revival had a similar concept (set in an asylum). I wasn’t making a comparison or accusing anyone of stealing ideas; Just pointing out the similarity as a bit of trivia. One of the performers from this production took that as a personal attack, later making a video calling me a “dick-parade”?!
Gun & Powder at Paper Mill
Call_me_jorge said: "Ciara Renéeis suing the show for almost half a million dollars. She claims, “she was wrongly dumped from a play ahead of its run on the Great White Way.” The producers of Gun & Powder said, Renée “‘failed to collaborate’ and was ‘unwilling to accept feedback from the creative team,’” Solea Pfeiffer has since rejoined the show, reprising her Signature Thea
Michael Riedel
My hope is for Riedel to write another book. I’m not sure if he still has the insider connections/gossip he was once famous for, but I would love to read his retelling of Broadway navigating the late 2010’s through the early 2020’s.
Kimberly Akimbo tour
Even with a second year, it doesn’t seem like this tour will make its way to Canada. That said, I’m excited to see Louise Pitre as Kimberly in the licensed production in Montreal and Toronto.
AUDRA GYPSY Reviews
Audra is back, as per understudy slip posted on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Broadway/s/KKUr2mzKkZ
AUDRA GYPSY Reviews
Probably reading into it too much, but this morning show segment seems to infer the plan is to cancel when Audra is out: “McDonald is such a huge star, there is no alternate.”https://youtu.be/ykAyGj2jOhU?si=gm63mpSwWd1hP8g0
AUDRA GYPSY Reviews
Starting to wonder if the plan is to cancel whenever Audra calls out, similar to Hugh Jackman in Boy From Oz/TMM?
New Hadestown Casting
I’m a bit bummed they’re not taking this opportunity to bring Matthew Patrick Quinn in as Hades; He was very impressive in the role on tour.
& JULIET Replacement Casting
A Toronto production has been announced to open December 2025. Perhaps the physical production from Broadway will be returning to TO if the rumoured Summer 2025 closing is correct.

Time to start discussing what’s headed into the Sondheim next?

The costumes are really hit and miss for me so far.Elphaba’s gown looks rather bulky, cheap and synthetic.
HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL to return to New York in 2025
Announcing on the Sunday morning before Labour Day is an odd choice. I understand the date is a reference to the show, but is that gag really worth it when many people aren’t paying attention on that day?

Article: OPERATION MINCEMEAT... plots its course to New York
The smartest move for Mincemeat would be a pre-NYC tryout in a major subscription market (Chicago, Toronto, San Fran, etc). This gives them the chance to start building a public profile (currently non-existent), while fine-tuning any script or accent changes needed for the North American ear.
2024 Tony Awards
BoringBoredBoard40 said: "Did anyone go to that taping featuring two a-listers that happened last night?"Alicia Keys and Jay Z are teasing a “Empire State of Mind” announcement on X, with Ayanna P pumping out teasers for tonight. I’m presuming they’ll appear in some combination of the Opening number,HK’s performance and presumably a reprise to end the broadcast once HK wins best musical.
