Let's be entirely honest, all of Gaga's attempts at acting are cringe as hell. She's camp for sure! Is she a skilled actress? Ehhhhhhh

That movie was extremely successful and the audience it was aiming for is very much still talking about it/its stars.

I’m right up there with rosscoe(au). The MEAN GIRLS musical film adaptation definitely quickly sparked and fizzled. I’ve yet to watch it as I forget it exists. It was much talked about when it was released but quickly faded away like the film adaptation of IN THE HEIGHTS. Indeed the film was a global financial success but it’s completely forgotten by the mainstream masses. I can’t recall any of the actors involved aside from that Rapp girl.

Everytime I see Lady Gaga in a movie, I think “She’s no Cher"…

Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet at this point in his career would be opening Broadway productions, not joining a production as a replacement. Had he opened this revival of CABARET instead of Eddie Redmayne, it would have been THE event show of the season, which many were expecting.

These things don't usually come together too early so now they can pause the casting search for 3 or 4 months and also see how the grosses settle in through the rest of Redmayne's run and at the start of the new cast's run.

Auli'i also has Moana 2 coming out this year so a lot of that traffic is likely related to that. HOWEVER, she hasn't really had much cross over appeal. Like the audience for Moana and the audience for Cabaret are two circles that so briskly touch each other they may as well have not. I think Adam is going to be more the draw of the two.

I don’t think they were speaking to a broad “Disney vs Broadway” scope (especially since one is just a different medium of/a direct gateway to the other), but specifically audiences of the Moana and Cabaret properties themselves barely overlap unless you’re counting parents.

She herself hasn’t had much work outside of Disney (Mean Girls and The Power aside), so it’s an interesting casting move. She must have been terrific in the room (she was fab in Mean Girls) because I sincerely doubt casting was thinking “You know who we need as a Sally replacement? Ariel Live!/Moana.”

If you think there isn't a huge audience that loves both Broadway and Disney you are so wrong."

Sure if you want to completely misunderstand what I'm saying we can go with what you're asserting, but that's not what I said at all. Even the most Disney of Gays are not going off their rocker for Moana, I'm sorry. That is a property that is popular almost exclusively with ayounger fan base. It's like when Christy Carlsob Romano went into Avenue Q. Great casting choice, but it's not moving the needle on the name alone. She could be absolutely amazing and get people in the seats based on that, but her name isn't doing it."

I do understand what you're saying but I disagree. It's completely possible I'm wrong so I guess we'll see what happens.

Well, he does have a new album out and she's got a new film out in a few months.

OH ABSOLUTELY! Calvin, I think, will bring a level of gravitas to the role that Ato was sorely missing.

Anyone who saw him in Fat Ham knows he a very meticulous performer when it comes to characters struggling with sexuality

Looks like November 4 is the last scheduled Monday performance before they change to a more traditional weekly schedule with Mondays dark.

That is...definitely an opinion. She also won a Golden Globe for "American Horror Story", got an Oscar nomination for her first starring role in a film, and also got strong reviews for House of Gucci.

If that's cringe, I think most actors would be happy with cringe statusas well."

Did you WATCH her in American Horror Story? Or even House of Gucci? She is giving nothing but Camp.
