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

I’m gonna bet most of the people who shared a stage with her, even in her heyday, are at least one foot in the grave if not already long dead

I ALSO saw The Performers in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, having walked to the theater from Brooklyn just because I was so antsy to get out. It feels like everyone wh
It’s had two major New York productions in the last twenty years (the last one, I believe, had Norbert Leo Butz as the uncle), though both off Broadway

The hashtag was the one used by some of the performers on Instagram (see: Charlie Williams account)
I should have clarified that.

THE CHER SHOW gave me Orchestra Left, Row T, Seats 5 + 7, though experiences may vary as it goes into its final week. The orchestra did look pretty full up
Winter Garden seats E32-E38 Aug 9

That’s very far right mezzanine. A lot of stuff for Beetlejuice, if I remember correctly, occurs toward stage left, and so the vantage might not be good

So apparently many chorus people from a bunch of shows tonight are gathering for a mourning party for all the closing shows this month
A bunch of the Cher Show chorus came out in some awesome funeral looks and I was wondering if anyone else at stage doors tonight saw ensemble members in funeral finery?
Beautiful TDF? Aug 6

I went on Friday 8/2 - they were orchestra Row O, 108-109 (dead center). Like, they could’ve been a premium priced seat.

Says you. I’m ready for her to knock the sh*t of “Poor Unfortunate Souls”.
Wearing Costumes/Cosplay to Broadway Shows Jul 30
2019, 01:06:26 PM
I mean, considering the outfit would otherwise be considered street clothing, I don’t see why it would be an issue unless you are purposely trying to draw focus to yourself.
Disney shows (especially Frozen) seem to enjoy this trend and I totally feel like it’s fine as long as they aren’t disrupting other patrons (excessive costume pieces obstructing views or spilling over the seat) or distracting from the show itself.
A lot of people also wore homemade costumes to Be More Chill
