The Teeth one was very weird. That show should've had better marketing, the windowcard aside. 

 

I feel like this really started with everyone wanting people to know when Lin came to their show and endorsed it in some way. 

I can't be the only one who thinks that the situation with the tour and the reception of THIS IS ME and SPIDER-WOMAN makes it MORE likely that she would do a Broadway show next. 

Hey, I'd see it!

Been a long time but I remember thinking that Julie White was a hell of a lot better than the play...

Cool, but thankfully for the millions of people who live across the boroughs and the millions more willing to travel for something special, theater isn't exclusively for midtown tourists who are afraid of riding a few subway stops. 

People, including many theater professionals, live there actually. 

To me it is very much a yes to all of that. 

Troll or no, this is basically true. That they still go by their name is kind of outrageous. I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're just another off-Broadway theater, because of their size and resources, but they charge Broadway prices and have used those resources in bewildering ways.

I'm so tired. 

 

Thing is, high genre stuff should have more of a place in theater. But it's mostly only ever coming to us through this cynical IP sludge. 

I would actually kind of like this if the yellow matched the playbill masthead.

Yeah, he can tone down his cool and charismatic if the role calls for it - his underplayed take onMacbethand the vastly underratedRoman J. Israel, esq.both speak to that. But he's also been open about the roles he plans on doing before he retiresand Willy Loman was not among them."

Not to further derail this thread but though I love Denzel, I was so baffled by his Macbeth. Playing it so small was just completely out of place in such an extremely expressionistic film, his "Tomorrow and tomorrow" was like a damp squib especially with how teed up he was by the staging of the scene. Other actors, particularly Kathryn Hunter as the Witches, seemed way more in synch with the vibe of the movie. 

Jeffrey will be great in this, I'm sure. I wonder if the Wendell Pierce revival had anything to do with this film being developed. 

Now I'm excited!

Is there a different code for this show or did I miss the boat? Was just looking to buy now.

The voices are so good, I wish I could hear this cast sing the original longer version of this song that's on the very first pre-Broadway studio album. I always loved the "We are comrades in the struggle that goes on across the earth..." section for Emma Goldman, I appreciated the larger political context for the song and for Coalhouse and Mother's Younger Brother. In the final song it's more just implied by Goldman's presence, the original draft brings Goldman up to the full bombast of the show at its biggest. I thought the show was kind of putting its money where its mouth is with those original lyrics. 

On the subject, I also always miss the slightly longer "Coalhouse's Soliloquy" ("Sarah, my life has changed/ Sarah the world has changed," the kind of broken funhouse mirror arrangement of that beautiful moment). Other than that (and even understandings these) the cuts and changes by Broadway were great. Just an interesting artifact, that album.

What was Condon thinking?!?!?!

Worst stage to screen adaptation - it’s right up there with “Man of La Mancha”.


The more time that passes, the more I agree. There are worse movies but this was pretty uniquely heartbreaking to me.

Also, they are looking to start star/stunt casting for Abe in the near future, so that will be interesting casting to keep an eye on.


A little while ago I had the random/stupid idea ofOh Mary!With Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman."

If Sutton is Abe and Hugh is Mary, maybe. 

Still praying for Amy. 

Amy Sedaris is the only TV star casting that would really excite me, and she is close with Cole.
