I know I'm likely in the minority, but I am TOTALLY AGAINST Depp playing The Baker. When he played Sweeney, that was great. But that's because he was playing a character that he obviously felt comfortable with. Johnny's characters have always been eccentric, even J.M Barrie is a bit of an odd duck with his man-child persona. I think the role of The Baker would probably be pushing him way out of his comfort zone, because The Baker is not eccentric, zany, or manic. He's just a man who wants a c...

Let's face it, most musicals don't exactly from original sources. A majority is an adaptation of some sort, but mainly literature. Most of them which are extremely popular, such as Oliver! or Phantom Of The Opera. Here's my question: Has the same book ever been adapted into a stage-musical twice? I can only think of Peter Pan (the well-known musical and a few others later on), A Christmas Carol (A Christmas Carol: The Musical and Scrooge), and Phantom Of The Opera (the popular ALW show and th...

I'm so ecstatic! Of course, it was pretty unavoidable wasn't it? The music team behind Ragtime AND Seussical? I mean, even the film itself screams musical-theatre. I'm glad that Angela will be playing Marie and, if the show ever makes it to the B'way, that she'll play her there to. Now, if we can just get Bernadette Peters to return for Sophie....

Wow...Just wow...It was the 25th Anniversary tour, so the rotating stage was gone, but it was no great loss because the show was freaking amazing without it. The singing was wonderful and so was the acting. I LOVE the interaction between Gavroche and Grantaire, and when Gavroche's death came along, my heart broke in two for the alcoholic student (anyone who has seen this specific tour will know what I'm talking about). The stage effects were phenomenal and Javert's suicide looked so real. Of ...

I like to withdraw my previous statement about "Phantom Of The Opera." Because all in all, I don't hate it. *sighs* I don't think it's possible for me to hate ANY musical.

As I said, Kristen Stewart was simply meant as Box-Office possibility. I personally would rather eat dirt and drink a gallon of vinegar before I see her play Cinderella. By the way, Into The Woods is one of my favorite musicals, and this was solely my opinion. Feel free to disagree, but don't hate on my choices when this is meant for fun.

I have two lists here. One is solely based on drawing in big box office numbers, and the other is for a little thing called talent. BOX-OFFICE CAST: The Baker-Adam Sandler The Baker's Wife-Angelina Jolie Cinderella-Kristen Stewart Cinderella's Prince-Robert Pattinson Rapunzel-Kate Hudson Rapunzel's Prince- Brad Pitt Jack-Justin Bieber (PLEASE I hope that never happens) Jack's Mother-Helen Mirren (Not that she isn't talented, because she is. I just don't think she seems right vocal-wise) Littl...

I'm sorry for making this thread. I didn't know that there were other threads on the subject, and I apologize.

I LOVE Into The Woods, and just quite recently learned that it's finally being made into a full fledged feature film. Part of me is excited, but another part is skeptical. For starters, it's going to be a Disney movie, so I'm worried that they'll make it too whimsical, when most major Woodsers (I've no idea what the name for ITHWs fans is) know it's definitely dark in some parts. Another thing is that Rob Marshall tends to take the "musical in mind" approach, and yes this worked impeccably fo...

Not really sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion, but I believe that "The Miller's Son" is better than "Send In The Clowns." I like Maury Yeston's "Phantom" over ALW's "Phantom Of The Opera" Frank Wildhorn's music is actually good, in my opinion

Phantom Of The Opera (If you want a good musical based off the novel than check out Maury Yeston's "Phantom") Honestly, I can't find myself hating any other musicals. I just love them all, with the exception of POTO.

David Bryant and Michael Ball were not exactly the best-looking in my opinion, and that Jonas brother certainly wasn't. Besides, looks shouldn't really matter. His hair can be dyed or they can put a wig on him, if some are worried about his ginger hair. To me, talent should overcome looks in any musical film. Not to say we've not had any good lookers in musical films. I'm glad Mr. Redmayne received the role, because I just listened to a little bit of his singing and he definitely has the voca...

Astonishing from Little Women Anything Goes from Anything Goes Jimmy from Thoroughly Modern Millie Ever After from Into The Woods Comfort and Joy from Bat Boy: The Musical (Okay, it's off-broadway, but I can't help it) The Lambeth Walk from Me and My Girl One Day More from Les Miserables There's A Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q Sirens from Jane Eyre

I love Jekyll and Hyde! It's one of the few shows that I've onstage and I love it to this day. As for who should be cast in this potential B'way revival? I have no idea. Perhaps Kate Shindle as Lucy? She was in the role in the production I saw, so I suppose that makes me biased.

I'll second "Love Will See Us Through/You're Gonna Love Tomorrow." I would also suggest "Falling In Love With Someone (Quartet)" from Thoroughly Modern Millie and also "No One Is Alone" from Into The Woods. Be forewarned, the latter is mainly a duet for a majority of the number.

" The new Bill Pullman female character was weak in singing King of New York" Uh? Female? The song, if I recall in the film, centers on Denton's success on getting "the boys" in the papers. So, now do we have Queen of New York? Then again, with Racetrack's solo during the number, I guess they must have only altered half of the lyrics, right? Also, "new romance?" Do they delve more into the romance between Jack & Sarah, or does one of the other Newsies fall in love? Sorry, I'm a HUGE fan of th...

Sutton Foster, Lea Salonga, and Mandy Gonzalez.

*shrugs* I for one am glad that Norbert won. By the way, did you forget to turn off your caps lock?

Seriously, you can mess with The Karate Kid, but if you mess with something as remarkable, nay wonderful, as Annie...I just hope this idea gets flushed. And the sooner the better.
