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
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.

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."
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.
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
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
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.

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&

Two reviews of the current tour when it was in Orlando (endedMarch 11th) and Birmingham (ended April 1st):
I have to ask, do we know if Patti sat through The Parisian Woman?

Dancingthrulife2 said: "Maybe some of the posters are missing the fact thatshe complains because THESE PROBLEMS ACTUALLY EXIST. Being nice or silent solvesNOTHING."
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?
Anakela said: "Broadway.Melody said: "I'm not quite "getting' her position of opposing movie actors on the stage. 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? Because of that's the case maybe she should consider relegating herself to the stage and never accept another television or movie gig.
