Scott Rudin reviving 42nd Street — Page 2

MysteriousLady: So, it's a Scott Rudin revival of 42nd Street starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Oscar Isaac, and Sabrina Carpenter with a new book by Ethan Coen. 

Y'all had some fever dreams before, but this one takes the cake.

Also: I'm sat. 

And don’t forget that Jerry Zaks or Jack O’Brien are directing.

I heard they’re going to add the characters of Desiree and Madame Armfeld into the show, and Cate Blanchett and Julie Andrews are going to play them.

Aw man Jordan now I wish this joke were a real thing! 
Id watch Krakowski as Maroney in anything…. Actually that might actually make me like Titanique finally! ;)

(not here to bash any show it was just not for me I love that other people love it) 

By popular demand, the standout musical number "Dames" now has two reprises and a megamix. It's gonna get Hamilton numbers on streaming.

He seems to suggest it will be Richard Jones in his stories today.  Seems like he mostly works in London nowadays.

It felt like 50% of the storefronts were still vacant. So when I saw this thread, I thought that maybe Rudin was going to help revitalize that strip. Oh well. My mistake. Thankfully I found Schnippers."

If you thought that was depressing you should have walked there during the 70s and 80s.
