I love this play.I saw it on its original run here in London, and i saw it again when i came to New York in the summer. I'm so glad that its been such a hit over there. I wasnt too sure how audiences would take it.

It opens here on Oct 13th, so i'll let you know what its like.
I cant wait

Must....see....History...Boys...minute...it...comes...out!

Must...root...for...possible...Oscar...nominations!

I have my doubts about them doing much of anything at the Oscars, but I think they may have a decent shot at some Golden Globe nominations in the Musical/Comedy categories!

With each new tidbit that comes out, I'm getting more and more excited (if that's possible!).

Wow, I had no idea this was being made into a movie. I haven't seen it on broadway, I'm excited!

Yes, it is Sam A break dancing. He's pretty incredible.

"I sorta think that might be the explanation for Lockwood's tennis shoes? mayyybe?"

Haha I remember bringing that up.

I saw this trailer like 2 months ago..I can not wait...

Hey, they took the video clips off the website! I'm glad I watched them this morning, but I was going to show them to a friend this evening. I hope they end up back up there again, at some point.

Though, they did add the soundtrack info:

1. Gracie Fields-Wish Me Luck...
2. New Order-Blue Monday
3. The Smiths-This Charming Man
4. Samuel Barnett & Richard Sisson-L'Accordeoniste
5. The Clash-Mustapha Dance
6. Samuel Barnett & Richard Sisson-Bewitched...
7. Echo & The Bunnymen-Newve Stop
8. The Cure-A Forest
9. Pigbag-Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag
10.The History Boys & Richard Sisson-Bye Bye Blackbird
11.Rufus Wainwright-Bewitched...
12.The Beat-Can't Get Used to Losing You
13.Aztec Camera-Walk Out to Winter
14.The Pretenders-2000 Miles

My initial question looking at this list: why no Jamie Parker on L'Accordeoniste and Bewitched? And it's kind of interesting to see that none of the 80s songs that are used in scene transitions in the stage version are being used in the film.

Guess that's it...I really hope those videos come back up. They were pretty damn amusing!

kay 3 questions

1. is it going to be showing in Theatres in America?
2. will it be starring all of the original cast
3. WHEN IS IT COMING OUT IN AMERICA?!?!

[mabel]

Posted: 9/22/06 at 7:16pm

Yes, it's the original cast (plus a few more folks) and it's set to be released in the States on November 22nd (though, who knows how wide that will be).

How exciting! I really can't wait for this movie to come out! Hmph the soundtrack isn't available on amazon.com yet... I should ask my dad to pre-order it for me.

I was lucky enough to get tickets for the closing show! I'm counting down the days.

I honestly can't see them faring very well at the Oscars...

That's not to say it won't be worthy, but I just don't see it.

It looks very...made for TV-like. We'll see.

Actually, EW picked it as one of their top-Oscar contenders



AND NOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE: THE AMERICAN TRAILER (sans music- strangely)

Wow, watching trailers without music is bizarre.

[Katurian2]

Posted: 9/28/06 at 9:59pm

haha- yup. I'm still looking for one with music. Apparently though, it has been running with "Flyboys" this past weekend.

THE HISTORY BOYS will not fare well with American movie-goers. It's too smart. American mainstream movie-goers are generally stupid. They go to the movies for "entertainment", which usually includes people killing other people, or the latest DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?-esque flick. Mainstream American movie-goers do NOT go to the movies to THINK.

It will perhaps get an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay, in the same way THE SQUID & THE WHALE did last year. But given the fact that in order for a film to rack up Oscar nominations, it must have been a "hit" at the box office, I doubt this will receive much awards recognition.

The History Boys trailer most certainly was running with "Flyboys" when I saw it...it made me very happy

Does the preview (on the vh1 site) not play for anyone else? The link works, but there's nothing in the space where the video should be...

Posted: 10/5/06 at 1:37pm

My sister saw the film last night, but I still haven't had a chance to find out how it was!

[Galinda4]

Posted: 10/10/06 at 1:10pm

I saw the film a few days ago and it is brilliant! Definitely worth the wait! Has a few slight changes but won't say too much as don't want to ruin it for you all.

Here is a link to some interviews Richard, Nick & The Boys have done for Film 2006 (a program on the BBC):
