Ben Platt & Rachel Zegler - THE LAST FIVE YEARS (NYC/LA)

That's a big-time get for Dolan.

Hollywood Bowl is also a vast space for such an intimate show but I’m still going to make an entire evening out of it with my gaggle. Excited!

He looks terrible in that poster lol

That…and the fact that the marketing so far does not give the vibe of “ex-lovers”. It feels very “girl and her gay best friend”"

 

I was thinking girl and her soon to be murderer 

I thought that was Michael and Mandy in Dance of the vampires 

DramaTeach said: "I genuinely wonder how Platt’s past comments about Israel will affect how Jewish theatergoers feel about him. Zegler’s too. This character and show are Jewish by nature, so it could affect who’s willing to show up."

I don’t think it’ll be totally sold out, but I feel like the average theatregoer/patron/fan isn’t going to have the geopolitical stances of the actors on their mind when purchasing.

I think people are likely (and rightly so) worried about what’s going on in this country to care about what two film and musical theatre stars care about Israel. If one of them came out as MAGA, then I could see a s#!+$torm, but not about this.

I agree, but after her Evita, I must see this…

I feel like there’s an annual major production or concert of this. The years are now decades.

It looks like she has him in a headlock and her eyes are glaring "Don’t F this up old man."

Sutton Ross said: "Aw, me and my gay bestie used to pose just like that before belting out showtunes! Love! I hope they put this image on everything from billboards to shirts to magnets because it's incredibly funny and so oddly forced.



In all seriousness, this should have been the pairing last yearif schedules allowed it. Both are incredible singers and beautiful performers, so this is really exciting. The venue is the wrong choice, but considering it's only two showsmakes sense. And I feel like this is Jason's small apology for last year's horror with Adrienne and that dude."

 

No thanks.

Nah, I'm good. 

Once again, I guess I am in the minority. Looking forward to this. Mostly because JRB will be directing and conducting.
