PROMISES, PROMISES Starring Hayes and Chenoweth to Play Broadway Theatre; Previews 3/28/2010, Opens 4/25/2010 — Page 3

I'm talking about BIG names for THEATRE GOERS! Chenoweth has a HUGE gay following and I'm sure Sean Hayes does too.

Right, huge gay following. I totally missed that one.

I also love how you relate theatre goers with the gay following.

Me too.

"Yes beautywickedlover, believe it or not, there are straight people who enjoy theater. I happen to be one of them"

I'm straight too and I'm a male. I like theatre, but only certain shows. I like classics like "West Side Story," "Sound of Music," and "Guys & Dolls." and "Phantom of the Opera." 90's and 2000's shows I like are "Wicked," "Beauty & the Beast," "The Lion King," "Mary Poppins," "Shrek the Musical," "Hairspray," and "Mamma Mia."

The people who go to theatre ALOT though are usually gay. Kristin and Sean have that kind of following.

So I guess FWC is just gonna have to wait until the only theatre suitable for this masterpiece - the Majestic - is free and they can open there...



P

You don't think that gay people are overrepresented in "regular regular-theatre goers"?

We all say the wrong things sometimes.

I'm not familiar with the show so I can't say for myself whether I think Kristin is miscast, but I'm really excited to see her in this even if she is miscast. I'm just thrilled that she's returning to Broadway.

In the original, "I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN is a duet for Chuck (Hayes) and Fran (Cheno).

I detect a hint of jealousy among posters here. Already jumping the gun and prejudging and offering opinions on the location of this production, the seating, the music, the "miscasting" without any merit to go by since this production has not even gotten to the rehearsal stage let alone the previews. And posters can leave out the gay thing which by the way is discriminatory and prejudicial.

Sean Hayes and Krisin Chenoweth are professional actors with a very extensive musical background. Both of them will do a wonderful job and this production may be a limited run type of production and not a 2 or 3 year long thing. Maybe a year or less!

Both Sean and Kristin ARE marquee names with huge followings and will do just fine in selling the show! They are big attractions.

I will wait for further information about this production that will be forthcoming, I am sure of that.

I am a loyal and dedicated Will and Grace supporter of the cast both during the run of the show and afterwards too. I am 100% suppoortive of Sean Hayes. You go Sean!

off topic but a correction for previous posters to the thread:

it's theater marquee *not* marqui

Isn't LindaTNo1 the one who said that saying some was too old for a role was age discrimination?

The Merm was really born in the wrong era. She could have been a great Mimi in Rent if she was born a few decades later.

I'm gay and I like theatre, but I like HBO more at the moment. Does that make me asexual?
