"frozen" toddlers  May 8 2018, 11:00:23 AM

At School of Rock on tour last month, a family with children sat behind us. The youngest child was maybe 3-4. Maybe 20 minutes into the show, the kid asked (presumably) his dad, 'how much longer do we have to stay here?'  and then talked about how bored he was through much of the rest of the performance. And the worst thing was, that from what i gathered in their pre show chatting, the older kids had seen the show before, so the family should have anticipated that the show isn

THE BOYS IN THE BAND (2018) Previews  May 4 2018, 12:55:38 PM

If you are into podcasts, on this week's ep of Keep It, Zachary Quinto is interviewed about the show. Its about the last 20 minutes of the podcast.



Kiss Of The Spider Woman 25th Anniversary  May 3 2018, 09:29:49 PM
Are there any video clips of Anthony Crivello in the OBC available? The only OBC clips I have found primarily feature Chita (which is great!) but I wanted yo see a bit of the other actors.

There's literally nothing in there to contextualize how he'll play the song when he's actually doing a performance of the show, with other characters in the thick of the plot. He sounded beautiful, and that's all I wanted to hear from a music video.

I'm still most eager to hear/see Olivo as Satine, as that role is the real heart of this beast.

Aaron Sorkin's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Adaptation to premiere on Broadway December 13, 2018  May 2 2018, 09:28:33 AM

I can't stand Aaron Sorkin's work. Should be interesting seeing how this mess plays out.

Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London  Apr 20 2018, 10:10:18 AM

I hope she drops out of the production. I like Sierra, but this is messy.

Ditto. I like her too and wish she could find another great starring role but this is not it.



Why no Demand for Frozen? Any Thoughts ?  Apr 18 2018, 02:44:27 PM

maybe the bottom is finally falling out on Disney productions? And people have Frozen fatigue. Thanks to kids, the movie Frozen has played at our house no less than 475834957 times, so the idea of sitting through it on stage is utterly unappealing. I think they hit something special with The Lion King and even Beauty and Beast where it was something that hadn't really been done before and the merchandising aspect and showcasing of either those movies hadn't been worn out? With Frozen,

I believe Ramin has said he’s done with the role. If it does come, I’d hope they get someone else. I’m sick of the rabid Rierra fanaticism.

Agreed. I think that Ramin is highly overrated anyway.


Love Never Dies Broadway 2019??  Apr 17 2018, 10:40:34 AM

Having seen this on tour, not surprised at all that ALW is trying to get it on Broadway. The sets and costumes and actors were phenomenal. The book....well, we already know the problems there. But the show has definitely been hyped and I felt like it was a cut above production-wise from many other touring shows I have watched. And as problematic as many of us think the show is, it would sell tickets, particularly to the tourist crowd. I can already picture them doing Phantom/LND ticket packag

SNL Les Mis parody  Apr 17 2018, 08:29:05 AM

I love Les Miz, i like the premise of the skit but don't really get the purpose or humor of the Les Miz tie in.



School of Rock tour  Apr 16 2018, 03:06:08 PM

I watched this over the weekend. It is a cute show and is in good shape and plays very close to the movie. Rob Coletti is great as is Lexi Dorsett Sharp and the rest of the cast. The kids were really amazing. I was definitely glad I just saw this show on tour and not on an NYC trip. That said, this show is not selling at all in Detroit. There is a truly embarrassing number of tickets still available for tomorrow and the rest of its run here. I don't know if its because the theater crowd t

2018 - 2019 Touring Season  Apr 12 2018, 03:58:02 PM

So from what I can see from the show schedules on the show websites, Detroit will not be getting CFA or Hello Dolly or DEH or Miss Saigon as add ons. Bummer! I have no idea what shows will be add ons in that case....huge bummer.

- I think Mandy Gonzalez was horribly miscast as Angelica in Hamilton. First time seeing the show after months of wait and was very dissaponted. "

She was terrible. I saw her in October right after the OBC left and was thoroughly underwhelmed. Her timing was off all night and in satisfied she was behind the whole song and seemed overwhelmed.

so I should be glad that Syndee Winters was u/s Angelica&

There are people right in this very thread who dispute that these problems exist. Assuming they do, how does it help to single out one specific actress?

Does she mean she she prefers that television actors be relegated to television, movie actors be relegated to movies and stage actors be relegated to the stage?

Her "logic" is unrealistic and
