You just set your bar very low. There wasn't really a song outside of Skimbleshanks & Memory that I enjoyed hearing at any point. It's like they ran them through a meat grinder. Like... Jesus Jennyanydots doesn't sing Old Gumbie Cat so why are we listening to Rebel Wilson warble her way through it while production makes her take pratfalls and fat jokes the entire time? Especially when the literal next song is actually about a Fat Cat in the text!?

Growltiger has a few lines to his song, but he's an actual character and not a part Gus plays on stage. Then he gets undercut by James Corden Cat coming for his rhyme scheme... God i hate this movie...
Saw it tonight and I am pissed and I am upset. Tom Hooper should be nowhere near a musical ever again, why someone allowed him to after Les Miz I will never understand. I swear to god... Jennifer Hudson's THREE close ups in THREE separate scenes of snot running down from her nose... NO. BACK THE F*CKING CAMERA UP!
Also, is it fair to call Andy Blankenbuehler a hacky one trick pony yet? Because his Choreography in place of Gillian Lynne's was a **** show.
Here's a wacky idea -- if you're sick to the point of hacking up a lung, then maybe DON'T GO to the theatre until you're well?? Not only is your coughing annoying to everyone, you're also spreading your germs around."
Here's an even wackier idea, go convince producers and the Broadway League to lessen the strangle hold they have on cancellations and make it easier to do so. Maybe then people would be more apt to reschedule instead of going to the t

>>>>>I’m guessing it might be cheaper and simpler to do it live? Or is it a marketing coo to say it’s live? I’m not saying any of this is true. I’m just saying there’s gotta be a reason why channels continue to do it. For the record, I think JCS is only televised live production that has completely worked.
It's all marketing. There's no way in hell that it's cheaper to do especially considering how much more rehearsal is needed to do it live.
Honestly, this (like Legally Blonde) proves that a live TV musical should be filmed and staged as an actual theatre production with a live audience.
Agreed. There is not one gain to be had by doing something like this live and only leaves you open to looking sloppy and getting stuck in situations like the Rent disaster.
Whoopi to play in Sister Act West End? Dec 1

But Whoopi also has the vocal range of a rock. They're rewriting it specifically for the things she cannot do and then Brenda Edwards has to deal with that and the physical/vocal limitations they're now baking into the show to accommodate Whoopi. It's not ageist to say someone who can't sing, barely move, & nearly died this year isn't the best person to tailor your entire show around now because she'll be in it for 6 weeks.
It's part of a larger trend in our society to skip over process and proscribed remedies in favor of mob justice.
<,edited by BWW staff>> this nonsense. OJ was found not guilty for murdering 2 people despite what we all know to be the truth. Does that mean society should go on and welcome him back to it? That he gets all his endorsements back? That we pretend that everything is fine? Society is not held hostage to what a court says w
AADA81 said: "When did it become the norm to call out, insult, yell at or disrespect total strangers in public? Whatever Weinstein is accused of doing is being addressed through the court system. Yelling at orinsulting a total stranger in public because he is an alleged abuser is ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR. It is hypocritical to excuse one's own abusive behavior because you think someone else deserves it. Abusive behavior is not acceptable under any circumstances."
Yes, and the internet also hated Sonic the Hedgehog so much that Sony pulled it and delayed the release date to next year so that Sonic could be completely redesigned and reanimated.
See the difference about that is that Sonic has been a mess for the last 20 years in every respect. I wouldn't have been shocked if they planned on moving the date before they even put out the trailer. It's like the act of working on a Sonic Project

I've... Been talking **** about this movie from the jump, but if it can offer on what this promo is selling then I'll eat my hat.
