Lin to direct film adaptation of Tick Tick Boom  Jul 19 2018, 07:47:28 PM
I'm pretty sure the only reason this is happening is because Lin now has the power to pursue a passion project like this. Without him I doubt this would be greenlit. So I still think 'why not DEH' is a silly question when it very much seems like this will be LMM's baby.

Yes there will likely be a DEH film one day (although 10 years seems optimistic and it definitely wouldn't be happening anytime now) but it will be a completely different thing and Levenson is the only person here that


Lin to direct film adaptation of Tick Tick Boom  Jul 19 2018, 07:31:01 PM

Tim Barstow said: "There's no fanbase for TTB. How are they supposed to make a profit? You can't do it on Lin's name alone! Overall, this is adumb idea. Why not DEH? Thatmoviewould do great in the box office!"

Maybe because LMM doesnt relate to an emotionally manipulative cliche tale of teenage social anxiety, but to a real story of a man struggling to balance the realities of life and lack of success with his passion and desire to be an ar


Love, Simon as a Musical  Jul 16 2018, 10:39:31 PM

Wayman_Wong said: "For the record, Greg Berlanti's ''Love, Simon'' made movie and pop-culture history as the first Hollywood studio movie about a gay teen's coming out. It rated 91% at Rotten Tomatoes and garnered a rare A+ from CinemaScore, which polls filmgoers. Made for $17 million, it grossed $40 million in the U.S. and another $25 millon abroad. (Compare that to ''Call Me by Your Name'': $18 million in the U.S. and another $23 million abro

Why are people saying the man may not have known who LMM was when he clearly acknowledged at the end of the conversation that he did and that what he'd said had been intentionally condescending?

I'm sure if LMM had asked what show are you talking about and the theatregoer had responded with Dear Evan Hansen or something he would not have then tweeted this. I would have had my suspicions in his position too, it's not like Hamilton is some tiny off Broadway show or LMM hasn't been ubiquit

I agree too, Donica did so much with so little.



Gender Based Awards?  Apr 25 2018, 10:42:35 PM
Would just result in men winning the vast majority of the time like in all the other gender neutral categories. Plus I think halving the amount of actors to be recognized would be a great shame.

2018 Olivier Awards  Apr 10 2018, 06:15:29 PM
And when I say the West End wouldn't produce a Hamilton, I mean they wouldn't produce something that simultaneously influential and original.

2018 Olivier Awards  Apr 10 2018, 06:12:38 PM

Gizmo6 said: "I never said UK would create a Hip-pop pastiche musical.

I would remind you that out of the top ten longest running musicals 50% of Broadway’s musicals are British imports and 70% of West End Musicals are homegrown.
"

And no one is saying we didn't have our time. Yes in the 80s and early 90s a lot of influential musicals were coming out of the UK. But we're talking about now and those days are over.

Currently on Broadway


2018 Olivier Awards  Apr 10 2018, 03:29:13 PM
Anyone thinking the UK is doing better/more relevant work in musical theatre than America is just outright delusional at this point. The idea of something like Hamilton coming out of the UK is basically laughable.

dramamama611 said: "Actually, there was a lot of brouhaha over Billy v N2N -- but not because Billy had been mounted in London previously.

But yes, Gizmo's claims are a bit farfetched here.
"

Oh of course, I would know as I think it was a huge travesty myself. I only meant in regards to the issue of location.



2018 Olivier Awards  Apr 9 2018, 10:42:42 PM

Jeez let me weigh in here.

Whilst the Hamilton London cast was for me a mixed bag (Hamilton, Burr, Washington, King, Laurens/Philip, Mulligan/Madison, Peggy/Maria all great, Angelica fine, Eliza and Lafayette/Jefferson bad), judging whether the production is worthy of its Olivier awards based on one televised performance is ridiculous. How many awkward/bad Tony performances of great productions have there been? Even the Hamilton performance at the Tonys did not come close to w


The Over/Under on how long DEH will run  Sep 29 2017, 07:43:23 AM

Under. As soon as there's a new trendy show, this one is done. And yeah the Ben Platt decline will be real. This show doesn't feel as big as BOM was to me and certainly the success of that show had little to do with Rannells and Gad.

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "froote said: "Her career has hardly been thriving in the UK either (unless you think a failed album, failed film and shortrun of The Last Five Years in a tiny theatre that she failed to fillis success),so I don't know why people are surprised Broadway isn't knocking at her door. There are plenty of young, beautiful women that can sing, but are also able to give nuanced performancesthat will be in demand long before she is."

She was a major character in a movie that made over $ 400 million worldwide. Any actor would kill to have that kind of career accomplishment.
"

Absolutely, a huge opportunity that could have bolstered her into a major film career or at least a bigger theatre career. That was 5 years ago. What has she done since? Films that no one sees, an album that no one buys and she gets replaced by Phillipa So


Samantha Barks  Sep 24 2017, 06:37:49 AM

People like her because she's beautiful, young and can sing. And because she can sing, she stood out in the Les Misérables film which is what most people know her from.

I've seen her as Éponine, Amélie, Cathy and Velma. The first three she was passable but played them all the same. Her Velma was awful. She can play the young, spunky girl fine but doesn't add any special touches to differentiate between characters. 

Her career has hardly
