Considering it’s London pedigree has it positioned to be the big play of the upcoming season, I would say likely. Not sure how much of the original cast will be there come May, since most of the London performers coming over will likely just be on limited contract and John Benjamin Hickey is departing for an unknown length of time to direct PLAZA SUITE at the Hudson. I’m imagining another situation not unlike “The Ferryman”

Honestly wish some of the Hollywood Bowl cast did this.
- Jennifer Nettles as Donna
- Dover Cameron as Sophie
- Tisha Campbell Martin as Tanya
- Lea DeLaria as Rosie
- Corbin Bleu as Sky

She fought cancer like living hell for 10 years and found time shortly after going into brief remission to be on Dancing With the Stars.
That is what I call a real trooper
Betrayal Seating Discussion Aug 30

I sat in Left Orchestra B5 in the $25 seats. Honestly, I was shocked at how little I missed. Their faces felt so close that you could literally see tears and snot slowly dripping from Hiddleston’s face when Ashton reveals her indiscretions midway through the show.
Considering how many Marvel/Daredevil fans were in the audience, it was ridiculously well-behaved to the point you could hear a pin drop. This show messed with my head because it’s so fraught with tension even during the comed
I’ve yet to see a post that bashes the show as a whole. This is to comment on the cast album only, and thus far, everyone seems to be posting their thoughts and critiques politely.
I just listened to the whole album through and it’s...okay to good. I was definitely mixed on some of the song choices, but it’s overall a pleasant musical diversion. The encore is certainly an odd mish-mash.
Undoubtedly, Karen Olivo walks away with it all with her songs as Satine. “Sparkling Diamonds” wasn’t just a fluke. Her “Firework”, “Come What May”, and “Elephant Love Medley” sections were also beautiful.
Honestly, both monologues made me feel so much with so little. I think Jake’s monologue came across stronger, but each one had just these devastating moments that hit the emotions. THAT’S theatre I live for.
I was wondering what the protocol is if I wanted to view a recording of a past show (in this case, WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN) on tape at NYPL. The library page seems to be pretty strict with its guidelines, but Ive read that people on here have had different experiences.
Its not necessarily for research purposes, but just to rewatch the show since my memory of it is a bit foggy.
If anyone can provide me some insight into the process, that woul
I have already pre-ordered, downloaded the Sparkling Diamonds Medley, and choreographed a whole drag routine to it in my head.
I don’t think it’s sacrilege to say that I like this version a little better than the original, and I love how Olivo can belt, but still have that smokiness that Nicole Kidman had.
I saw her a few weeks ago. She acquits herself nicely, especially with the music and the piano playing, even though she really sounds nothing like Carole. Her acting was a bit shaky at times, but I think she did a fine job in terms of being a stunt-cast.
Honestly, Jessica Keenan Wynn walks away with the whole show as Cynthia Weil.
I dont know. Could be interesting, though Im wary after Network, since it was beautifully designed, but the actual written text and performances (Cranston aside) were not great at all...
Filming at What the Constitution Means to Me? Aug 21

I remember Heidi saying to me at the stage door that it’s being filmed, though if for anything beyond the Lincoln Center Archives I’m not entirely sure.
I know she’s invested in planning the tour and adapting the material for actresses in future runs when it tours in the coming year

I'd never heard of him when he was announced, but all my friends who watch Dancing With the Stars were going nuts. I thought he was fantastic as Frankie — and I've often thought that JB probably could've stunt-cast a few more times than that, but they never really did."
I feel like that's a tough show to stunt-cast because they have to be GREATa
Anyone think Cher will be at the last Cher Show on Sunday? Aug 18

According to one of my friends who is a dresser on the show, the closing was more shocking to the cast. Many thought it would be going until at least the holidays and close in January.
Hey, in an oversaturated market, 296 performances and two won Tony Awards when it wasn’t even nodded for the top prize is pretty respectable IMHO
Damon Daunno in Oklahoma! Aug 18

To be honest, people are probably coming to this for the show itself and (Stroker aside) not necessarily the cast, which might make the producers feel like they don’t need to announce their absence.
Some actors who have a large social media presence (I.e Stephanie J. Block) might make their absences known if they have a large enough fan base where people buying tickets might be upset to miss them. Damon Daunno ain’t on that level.
Literally, what other Broadway show has ever had the ability to take up more than 10 minutes of late-night television, let alone a whole hour?
The only other person who gives decent airtime to Broadway shows in that slot is Seth Meyers

I thought Cassondra James was EXCELLENT. When I went, a lot of people were upset about missing Michelle Williams, but I was won over from the beginning
