Ledaero said: "Wonder Woman being released on HBO Max is a massive indication as to how studios will seek distribution going forward. This is the first time a studio has essentially succumbed to streaming, forfeiting potential box office revenue for consumer needs. It seems to be a milestone in how movies will be distributed going forward, and I anticipate all major studios following suit in some fashion. So yes, I think it's very likely that In The Heights will be released for s

anyone know if this will be available on the PBS app/passport?

And why the hell was he in Mary Poppins? He ain't British, would not have sold ONE ticket because he was in it, and that opening song showed that he is not a singer[like Dick Van Dyke], or an actor. Not even pleasing to the eye--IMHO.

Is this a serious question?

CATSNYrevival said: "That Les Miz reunion was one of the best episodesso far. I loved hearing Trevor Nunn and John Caird talk about the show as well as the actors. The performance fromJudy Kuhn, Michael Maguireand Frances Ruffelle was also one of the best performances so far."

 

Terry Mann with the chair on his head during the confrontation was hilarious.

 

I also find it pretty remarkable that Michael Maguire had no Broadway credits, g

Has anyone seen the current My Fair Lady tour? I checked ticket prices for East Lansing (there are scores of tickets available for this weekend's shows) and they seem pretty outrageous. $97 before fees for a balcony seat. I didn't pay that much to see Lion King or Les Miz. Just wondering how the show is.

A lot of them start off on tours before they make it to Broadway. I saw Sutton Foster in Grease on tour in the late 90s, I saw Alice Ripley as Fantine in Les Miz on tour in the early 90s.

Honestly, this entire thread bums me out. In most of these productions, the students probably participated enthusiastically and were proud of their work, even if the show...wasn't great. I have sat through my share of stinkers at the local/high school level but I do it to support amateur theater and the kids who spent days and weeks preparing with the limited resources available. The existence of this thread seems pretty mean spirited. I'm surprised the mods here, who regularly d

A European woman next to me at Moulin Rouge was filming from the bun in her hair. No lie. She was completely stealth and disrupted no one. I did tell an usher but she left too quickly.

I always wonder how the bootlegs from the 80s and 90s existed? Did people lug camcord

A lot of the negative reviewers seemingly just didn't know what they were in for.I think if you can get past the CGI (I could--clearly some can't), it's pretty much the same as the show, which also has numerous flaws and requires a huge suspension of disbelief/willingness to subscribe to a non-existent plot. Could it have been better? Sure--for one they could have cut Bustop

LizzieCurry said: "Joshua Grosso is definitely the most (intentionally) awkward Marius I've ever seen, and the Evan Hansen comparison hadn't occurred to me — but I can see where it comes from!"

 

I know everyone has moved on but i just wanted to bump this. when i saw this production last in March 2018, Josh Grosso's understudy went on. When I saw it over the weekend, Josh in the role and I actually really liked how he played Marius a bit

It’s been that way since the show opened in 1981."

Right? i remember this happening on the tour in the 90s. 

Just wanted to say that I appreciate this thread. my oldest is very jumpy (was alarmed by the firecrackers/chandelier in Phantom,for example), so I am glad this is an ongoing thread.

This looks like an absolute trainwreck, and I say this as an ALW apologist.

 

That said, I'm here for it.
