I said this weeks ago when this first popped up (more because the rumors include her daughter playing Natalie)... I really don't see a 15-year-old with zero professional experience being trusted with a part like that 8 times a week. I guess if her mother comes with the deal, producers would swallow it and put up the money, but it just seems way too far fetched for me to believe it.

I know it's been said before, but didn't anyone on the producing team watch 30 Rock?!?

RippedMan said: "Without Ghee I don't really see the point. They were the show. I also like where the show was going with multiple people direct addressing to the audience. Hopefully they kept the weirdness."I didn't see the tryout but Ghee performed one of the songs at JRB's Carnegie Hall concert last year, and it was astounding. Received a huge ovation and I really thought that I didn't care if the show was crap, I'd go just to see them perform that song.

Oof-- I'm also not understanding the "General" checkbox option above the "Select Performance" bar... Is that something we're supposed to select each time?

I'm sorry I have a really hard time believing that someone looked at a 15 year old with zero professional experience and said, "Oh yeah, she can handle performing Natalie 8 times a week..."This is way too far fetched, but I guess people have sunk money into wackier things.

I guess this means my unrealistic dreams of a CHESS performance are officially dashed and DOA...

I'll echo Joshua Henry and add LOST BOYS for Lighting Design. It could have been just the view from my seat, but the intricate, specific, and detailed lighting during the flying sequences blew me away. I maybe saw one wire the entire performance. That is the must win for me.

Just wild to be on the negative side of it."Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Gaga orBeyoncé would be a major get. I'm not talking about talent, folk.I'm talking about relevancy. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean I'm being negative. We don't all have to think alike."Wild to say the artist who had the 3rd highest grossing global tour of 2024 isn't relevant... that's ce...

I'm sure it's just me, but is any one else shocked by how much Michele sounds like Idina. She launched into "Press Conference" and I thought I was accidentally playing the 2008 concert...

Reminds me of the Parade stunt"Wait, you genuinely believe that the Parade producers hired people to have an anti-Semitic protest outside of the theatre?"Hate to say it, but this has been a rumor in the industry since it happened. And the evidence isn’t not convincing given there were other shows with Jewish subject matter that went their entire runs at the same time wi...

The Western Wall is just as thrilling as I remember. Most exciting number I've seen/heard on stage in years...

1. Tommy2. Illinoise3. Merrily We Roll Along4. The Outsiders5. Suffs6. Hell's Kitchen7. Water For Elephants8. CabaretCall me crazy, but I will be bummed for a long, long time that we didn't get a mash up of Amber Iman performing "Don't Bet Your Heart" followed by Eden's "I Will Paint Her"... Have a feeling that could have blown every other performance out of the water...

I mean, if we're talking "genre elevating"-- look no further than the musical currently at the Walter Kerr-- When I think of elevating the art of the musical, I feel Hadestown is really the only one that fits that description...

The glee in which some people are still expressing over this show bombing is making me run into the arms of the creatives... I see now why they're so bitter.

thirtythirtyninety said: "Still no word on a Tommy cast recording. I really thought they would’ve announced it by now."From a rights/royalties perspective, I wonder if the producers are still in negotiations with the band's business arm (or whoever controls The Who's catalog...) I hope something gets worked out because I really want a recording with the updated orchestrations. Parts of the OBC instrumentation really bug me...

I'm bummed about this one. Not that I thought it was any kind of game-changer, but I found Lempicka much more engaging and entertaining than most new productions this season (and some from last season too).And I still don't understand why the historical inaccuracies had so many critics outraged-- as if Amadeus and Evita aren't riddled with dramatic license (or The Sound of Music and Hamilton for that matter). Criticism of the book and character development I completely understand (and mostly ...

To be fair, a huge chunk of the 1975 lyrics did not make it to the musical. Nor did the songs specifically written for the film.

I find it hilarious that those criticizing some of the pro-Lempicka reactions to the reviews are now having such a similar overreaction to this ad.

Caissie sounded brilliant at the Olivier Awards. At the same time, after seeing those short clips of Heidi Blickenstaff floating around online... good lord-- that's casting I never knew I needed. And yes, keep Lea far, far, far, far away...
