What's next for the St. James ? — Page 7

More and more Broadway is starting to look like a front business for money laundering or tax evasion scheme. It's the only explanation

I just don't get it, instead of having a sparse but decent season, they want to stuff it with garbage that no one wants, no one asks for, and no one will see. The last six months of Titanique were poorly sold. Beaches? A nearly 40-year-old movie that has tried this over and over again?

They should ask people what they actually want and not just assume bullsh*t based on their own egos.

If the Deborah Cox rumors are true, I'm especially confused. The role has to be a strong singer but it's a comic role primarily.

Anyone else hear those rumors?

If the Titanique rumors really are true, their best bet is announcing it as a first stop of a tour and limiting the run to 3 or 4 months, and then just doing additional extensions a la Mincemeat. I could see it being a hot ticket if they limit it for demand.

I would not rule out Celine being one of the producers for this Broadway transfer. She needs to keep her legacy alive and this could work as herown jukebox musical... I still think it's a terrible decision. The show is a spoof, fun but not good imo"

Why not they make an actual Titanic Musical based on the movie??? Titanique is a joke no one wants to see that. Solea Pfeiffer as Rose would be amazing!!!!

I think if they've got a few names in their back pockets, maybe throw in a famous pop singer for the main role, it could be a hit. Throw in a RuPaul Drag Race somebody, etc. It will likely be a contender for Best Musical and launch its brand. I'm assuming that's the goal. I don't think anyone is realistically expecting it to sell out the St. James.

I've never seen the show but does it stand a chance at winning Best Musical? I feel like 2 Strangers or Lost Boys feel more "Tony" to me, but I'm assuming that's the point of bringing it to Broadway? Win some awards and send it on tour? I'd assume they would have already toured it if that was feasible, but maybe the road producers don't want to book an "off Broadway" show into their "Broadway" Series?

I'll be speechless if that's true.

I don't think it can win Best Musical at all.

if there's 5 contenders, they have to nominated 4? don't want to live in a world when TQOV is a Best Musical nominee....
