Chicago Costumes  Sep 10 2019, 10:08:31 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "The OP didn't specify original, movie or revival costume so I just assumed she meant the current Broadway revival since this is the Broadway board. My apologies."

And since the trend amongst amateur theaters is to copy, copy, copy, I would have made the same assumption that when they said "the classic Velma dress" they were referring to the little black number in the current Broadway production.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/8/19  Sep 10 2019, 12:48:46 PM

Mike Barrett said: "Do these weekly grosses include Merch sales? If they don't, I can see HP making a KILLING with their merchandise for the show."

I can't speak for the Cursed Child agreement, as that merch is probably tied to the production in a very different way than most, but in general it's pretty standard for a production to be getting anywhere from 20% to 30% of the merchandise sales. Those agreements are not providing the huge

26 years ago: The mansion had landed  Sep 7 2019, 09:25:43 PM

Thanks, now that you mention it I do seem to recall Judy Kuhn's pregnancy being cited as the reason she didn't move with the show to New York with most of the rest of the company. 

I do think she sings it well on the recording, but I've always been more partial to Meredith Braun on the World Premiere recording. She has a youthfulness to her sound that does make it easy to believe when she says she's 22 (Judy was into her mid-30s by the time she played the role

Most every cast recording I own either says 'London Cast' or 'Broadway Cast'....which makes me wonder why the Close recording is the 'American Premiere Recording' ? LOL"

Well the American Premiere Recording was not the Broadway cast, as Judy Kuhn only played Betty in Los Ang

This shall forever put to rest the notion that Mrs. Paroo, as played by Miss Mullen, is too old to be mother to that boy.

On with the show!!

Almost Famous Musical in the Works From Cameron Crowe and Tom Kitt  Sep 6 2019, 03:01:36 PM

joevitus said: "Every time I see this thread, I misread the title as Absolutely Fabulous Musical, and I so want that."

I wouldn't want that. I have no interest in seeing anyone other than Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as Edina and Patsy, so unless it was a film there would be a very short life for a musical version. I also don't see either of those characters being enhanced by having them burst out into song to explore their inner lives. 



Ryan Murphy Set To Adapt A CHORUS LINE  Sep 6 2019, 02:59:21 PM

JSquared2 said: "You forgot about option C) that Murphy has a concept that you (and the other naysayers on this board) haven't thought of? Given his tremendously creative output to date, I'd tend to go with Option C for the time being."

He's had just as many misses as he's had hits, from my opinion. I certainly have reached the point where I approach his new works with caution as opposed to optimism, and a 10 hour expansion of A Chorus Line

Has their ever been a good sequel to a musical?  Sep 6 2019, 02:56:15 PM

Mister Matt said: "Yes, I saw the tour. The new staging wasn't quite as hideous as the original, but the song itself is just as bad as before, really. Adding the Phantom bits just made the parallel structure of the two shows even more on-the-nose. The melody of the tune is clunky, the orchestrations are overbearing, and the book becomes too ridiculous at that point. It couldn't be fixed with a few tweaks. It needed to be burned in a dumpster and the entire scene should have b

Envy/Jealous Songs  Sep 3 2019, 06:45:59 PM

GavestonPS said: "it's called "Loathing" and it may be the most brilliant use of musical comedy in the entire score, because it plays against our expectations and sings about the exhilaration of hatred rather than making it all doom and gloom."

The title is officially "What Is This Feeling?" and anyone who is calling it "Loathing" is doing it in the same way as people use "Tits and Ass" to refer to "Dance: Te


Rialto Chatter- Beetlejuice and Mockingbird get new homes?  Aug 29 2019, 11:57:20 PM

Even now Beetlejuice is not doing the type of business that would suggest adding up to a million dollars, or even more, would be a financially sound decision in the long run. I can't imagine that by next summer the show will be in a better place financially. Unless Rudin or the Shuberts offer to foot the bill (and I don't see that happening) then going through with a move would be extremely foolish.



Superhero cast recoding?  Aug 29 2019, 11:14:54 PM

Pashacar said: "Who would license this? And why? I can understand 2ST biting before the thing was finished, but now that it is, it's tough to imagine someone seeing the material and choosing it."

There's always someone out there who falls in love with a flop and thinks they can be the ones to get people to see the hidden gem, whether it's by taking a new approach to the direction and physical production, or want to be the ones who can "fix"


Mark Hellinger Theater returning? Times Square Church looking for larger space?  Aug 28 2019, 07:32:56 PM

Best Scene Changes  Aug 27 2019, 10:05:05 PM

Phantom's overture transition remains a highlight for me.

I'd also add the first reveal of the castle in Beauty and the Beast at the Palace was pretty spectacular.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/25/19  Aug 26 2019, 04:34:10 PM

Impossible2 said: "Tootsie really needs to move to a smaller theatre x"

I'll go out on a limb and guess that the cost of transferring to another theatre would far outweigh the benefit gained in doing so. 



Eva Noblezada in HADESTOWN  Aug 25 2019, 02:09:17 PM

Since I'm assuming today's matinee starts at 3:00, then checking it at 11:00 is not indicative at all. The house board pretty much gets reset at the end of each day, with the exception usually only being if it's a planned absence, such as a vacation, that the SM team knows with 100% certainty will be ongoing. It's unlikely that anyone from the SM team would be there at update the board for today at 11:00 for a 3:00 curtain, especially since by this point they wouldn't

Hidden theatre in the Spirit Store (a PSA and a question)  Aug 25 2019, 02:00:51 PM

This comment on g.d.e.l.g.i's link is from last year, of course, and who knows how long ago that commenter's last visit was before that, but it's definitely an expensive issue to overcome in any talks of a full restoration.

"At my last visit the balcony and gallery levels were accessible only by ladder from the main floor. Even more challenging is that the stage was crippled and truncated in height when the multi-cinema development was built around it."



Hidden theatre in the Spirit Store (a PSA and a question)  Aug 24 2019, 11:52:57 PM

I seem to remember hearing once that the way the Hilton Hotel was built has blocked off some of the fire exits, so that it could never get clearance for the occupancy a Broadway theatre would require (500+ patrons plus staff).



Next for the Nederlander Theatre?  Aug 24 2019, 08:19:29 PM

The only two recent shows that are credited as "produced in association with Old Globe Theatre" (as opposed to simply being credited with the original production but not being listed as an actual producer) are Bright Star and Gentleman's Guide. Bright Star was at the Cort, a Shubert house, and Gentleman's Guide was at the Kerr, which is a Jujamcyn house.
