Best/Worst Preshow Curtains Dec 7
2020, 01:42:43 PM
I thought the curtain that dropped at the end of act one of the revival of Sunset Boulevard was cool. It was dark blue and featured a large image of Norma's face, and they only left it up for a minute or so.

Given that CamMack is behind it, I think they'll do it as cheaply as possible.

Earwig transitions on Cast Recordings Nov 20

I've always been haunted by the violin motif which forms the transition between the rehearsal for Don Juan Triumphant and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" in Phantom.

He was brilliant. I saw it alone, and then bought tickets to see it again with my husband.

Can it with that tour, will you? You've been all over this thread talking about that widely hated tour despite people saying that it wasn't going to happen, now it's confirmed that isn't going to happen and you still won't shut up about it. Geez, stop being overfixated on it."

sparksatmidnight said: "I think Broadway is safe because they don't have a 'modern' replica 9n the US just sitting there and ready to load in like they did in the UK. So, besides load out and load in, they would also have to front a whole new production out of nowhere. Unless they take one of the replicas in storage (like the one that was in Brazil until 2019 -- I don't think it was sent to any other country), but those are also on the older side, so I don't see t

The trailer looks fun, but I totally agree with the above.

Yes!
I'd also like to see Phantom and Love Never Dies both playing Broadway at the same time, and I'd like to see a full-set revival of Sunset Boulevard.

Favourite Phantom? Sep 25

Phantom4ever said: "As a certified Phantom Phantom Phlunatic phan, I've seen quite a Phfew Phantoms. (ok ok I'll Ph-stop)
I loved the most recent one, Ben Crawford, for his strong voice. I love the Howard McGillin Hugh Panaro years where it seemed like they just kept replacing each other. Am I making that up or did it really happen that way throughout the 2000's?
But actually I LOVED showing up at the Majestic and seeing an understudy on for the Phantom--especially L

Justin D said: "I greatly dislike the trend in London in the past 10 or so years where they like to shout through the ending (go now etc), too much, over the top and just doesn't work for me."
Don't even get me started. James Barbour was like that on Broadway, as if heightened emotion could only be communicated by shouting.

ArtMan said: "They have increased the points again, second time in less than a month. A magnet that was 900 points in August is now 1700 points. I sure would like to know why they keep raising the point value. I should have redeemed for the magnet in August."
That's so shady. My guess is, prior to the pandemic, most folks redeemed for show tickets. Now that there are no shows, the demand for merch has probably increased, so why not be greedy?
