I work as a psych nurse, so I have a very extensive relationship with the term "trigger". In my field, the use of the term is rather important because it indicates something that is fully capable to set a patient off, usually relating to their traumatic experiences.
However, I also recognize that the frequent use of the term outside of that milleu really does cheapen the impact and meaning of the term "trigger" itself, since now it's being used for almost anythi
Does anyone have a code for a discount for Today Tix? I'm looking to buy tickets for Head Over Heels (and yes, I know there is a rush, but my fingers aren't quick enough).
We musn't forget that botched throat surgery during her run of VICTOR/VICTORIA about 20+ years really prevents Andrews from doing full singing engagements for extended periods (much different than a one-off song in a movie a la Princess Diaries).
I think Parsons mentioned in an interview on one of the late-nights that the boot was no longer entirely necessary, but has now a pair of orthopedic shoes for support.
The orchestrations are too electronic, even by Donna Summer standards, to the point where they sound like karaoke tracks on YouTube. I also agree the vocals are nice, but there are a lot of vocal flourishes that aren't true to Donna Summer's original track that throw it off.
Also, why the hell does Ariana DeBose since MacArthur Park like Celine Dion?
I actually think the best option would be what I have seen at television tapings and some live comedy shows and that is a sleeve that seals with a magnetic pin, and just open the theatre earlier to have people sleeve their phones before the show.
It worked very well when I went to a taping of "The $100,000 Pyramid" (though part of the reason they had them was because of federal regulations to prevent cheating and whatnot), and I had a friend who saw Chris Rock in AC last year
The preshow was certainly strange, but when Ty DeFoe and T.L Thompson (on for Kate Bornstein) explained it after the fact, I thought it was quite funny, if a bit ham-fisted.
I recall someone saying last week that the holiday period usually hits a downturn because many shows are closed on the 4th and either cancel or substitute those performances for weirder times (Sun/Mon night, Tuesday/Thursday/Friday Matinee), making shows slightly less accessible to those who aren't tourists.
I'm not reading the tea leaves on many shows because of the odd holiday positioning between this week and last week, specifically SUMMER (which has been running decently),
Some of the worst condescending theatre goers I usually encounter at the stage door, especially when it relates to a particular actor.
A common interaction involves a "stan" of that actor, and we are usually discussing their performance in this and other shows, and I could say something like "Well, I didn't think they were the best in the role." or "I like other things they've done more." and you can hear the Kill Bill siren go off in their head be
DAME said: "If you are interested; you might want to check outRandySlovacek'sFacebook page and blog. Lots of ex Chicago company members expressing their grief and sharing stories. Randy has been long associated with Chicago and recreates the original revival production all over the world. Interesting to read David Sabella's comments there as well. Actors Equity has their work cutout for them with this investigation."
YouDon'tClimbTrees? said: "I saw this last night at 7pm (the Sunday July 8th performance). Was anyone else here at that show? There was a constant tapping noise throughout and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Somewhere in the audience, orchestra section..."
I didn't hear anything and I was in the second row mezzanine. I was really pissed that this one girl couldn't hold her functions for the last seven minutes of the play and made my mo
I have good money on them pulling in a star for this. No way this will sell on Lesli Margherita alone, and I'm still mad she wasn't nominated for DAMES AT SEA.
