Lets see the absolute opposite of that with Lin Manuel Miranda as Jesus in a production set during the Holocaust!

>Gird yourselves for the deluge of protests and lawsuits against organizations and employers requiring people to get vaccinated.

Well employers kind of can't mandate someone get a vaccine for an airborne illness. It's going to be just like any other hospital if someone doesn't get the flu shot. You're just going to be required to wear a mask which we're all doing anyway, but in work settings you'll be doing so longer than the rest...

>and be famous enough to basically share top billing with Meryl Streep?

Imagine thinking that James Corden is on the level of Meryl Streep. It's laughable honestly. The role didn't require someone on Meryl or even Nicole Kidman's level... because you already have both of them. And who else could play the role who has Hollywood experience other than Nathan Lane? Neil Patrick Harris (even though I don't really like him), Sean Hayes, Jesse Tyler Fe

>My point? Pick the best actor for the job. Do not take their sexuality into account. Who knows Corden ay or may not have had a gay experience in his life. But does it matter?

Then why did it go to James Corden? Like for real. Acting is one area where you can be a LITTLE discriminatory and not get lambasted for it if you do it for the right reasons. "Best Actor" is a misnomer because it's not the only thing going into the role. I mean I'm sure

>I don't disagree with that premise.  What I disagree with is you trying to be a martyr when a straight actor does play a gay role, as if only gay people should be allowed to play gay roles.  What if that was reversed?  Can you imagine Big Bang Theory without Jim Parsons?  He's gay in a straight role.  White Collar without Matt Bomer?  Gay in a straight role.  Any Tom Cruise movie?  Gay in straight roles.

If you were s

This move isn't about COVID. It's about Studios exerting force on Theatres with their end goal of owning them and with Trump's DoJ on the case they've already gained their ability to own theatres back after almost 80 years.

So this is two fold, it's

>Although business will be better than Tenet, that are not going to want to take a chance. 

Yes they are. You actually have to give people movies they're willing to go back to the theater for. We're not going to be going from zero to a hundred in a weekend. You need to ramp it up and the best way to do that is not put movies in theatres that are nothing but trash. In The Heights moves nothing if it were released on HBO Max. Not a soul who isn't

>no way in hell are theaters gonna be open by next summer

That is just patently false. We're looking at vaccine roll out happening in about 8 weeks. It's silly to say movie theatres won't be open by Summer when 70% of them already are. They won't be full capacity I'm sure, but they will be open. This isn't live theatre people with audiences in the thousands, get a grip and look at reality.

>That isn't to say they wil

>No matter how many times y’all say this, this is not the reality of the situation. Truly delusional

By all means share the info then. 

>I have never seen a group of people so disrespectful than those who “stan” Beetlejuice. For the love of God. Saying “eff the music man”? Really? (I saw it on TIKTOK). Please learn some respect and find other things to focus on instead of putting down a show that people ARE actually excited about. If not, keep your mouth shut. It’s not okay, nor is it funny. Get over it.

But for real though? Fuck The Music Man. A tired ass revival for a

I don't understand people's rabid hatred of stage dooring...

It's funny to Google and see... many many articles & interviews of Brooks Ashmankas talking about The Prom and Gay Representation... and yet... here we have James Cordon a straight man who has been failing upwards his entire career in a role a flamboyant gay man. Was no other Singing Gay with a name available?

I've only seen Howard McGillin & Hugh Panaro live, but I'd have to say between the two Howard takes it.

>that wouldn't have been funny even 8-10 years ago. Regardless of how our lexicon may have changed, it was never funny to make marginalized people the punchline in bad jokes.

Listen, I don't like Randy Rainbow, I never have but it's kind of silly to say it was 'NEVER FUNNY!' to make marginalized people for bad jokes because it was... people made millions of dollars off insensitive jokes. You may not find it funny, neither do I, but he was largely reflecting t

But I am entirely willing to bet part of the contract for it gave Disney control over all the redesign that they could use in the future if they chose to. And if this is going to be just filmed (as claimed above) and released with no eye for Broadway I can't imagine this is going to be any huge production design wise... I'm calling a hybrid. Cruise Line style sets & backdrops with Broadway costume designs.

And I mean... Evermore isn't a truly horrible song when sung by

>If she was so insulted, then why did she agree to let her choreo be used at all in the 2016 revival?

Because she knew the integrity of the show kind of depended on it. They would re-stage regardless of whether she gave them her permission, it would just be completely without her iconic choreography. Which is what the plan originally was. When their chosen choreographer told them that he couldn't do that they strong armed her into just taking a check and give them free
