Bettyboy72 said: "I think most performers prefer to not know they are being filmed. It’s distracting see people filming. I don’t think they are completely opposed to bootlegs.

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


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 08:34:56 AM

guitarperson said: "I thought it was very enjoyable! Absolutely bonkers, but so is the stage show. 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

Current Les Miserables tour?  Dec 1 2019, 03:14:36 PM
I have seen the current tour twice and thought it was amazing. I also saw it 3 times in the 1990s in the old production.

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


THE LITTLE MERMAID LIVE! Discussion Thread  Nov 5 2019, 08:28:47 PM
Kinda feel like a 7pm slot on a Sunday would be a better fit for this. My little one can’t stay up until 10 on a school night and she would love this.

CATSNYrevival said: "BenjaminNicholas2 said: "Ugh. Cat actors in the audience. Theme park move."

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

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



Theater Gunshots  Sep 12 2019, 12:26:28 PM

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.



How is the current CATS tour?  Sep 8 2019, 07:39:43 PM
Saw the tour this week. Enjoyed it, a really fun time. Thought the sets looked fine. Memory was beautiful, Mr Mistofellees was a lot of fun. Show had great energy.

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

 

That said, I'm here for it.



ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME/Britney Spears musical to play pre-Broadway Chicago engagement  Jul 22 2019, 12:59:47 PM

But can we wait until she is in the twilight of her career for a musical based on her life? So weird.



Oklahoma! Broadway Revival Recording  Jul 3 2019, 03:00:39 PM

I thought I would love this.

 

I don't care for it. Too much purposeful twanging in the voices. Too much screaming. I thought the Tony performance was delightful so I must assume that something is lost on the recording.

Just a side note, the national tour ofPhantomcame to Cleveland twicewhile the


Hugh Jackman Music Tour 2019  Jun 25 2019, 12:17:52 PM

I saw this last night and despite seeing clips of other tour stops on youtube, did not know what to expect or whether I would enjoy it. It was a fun, delightful experience. It really was an all ages crowd and Hugh just oozes charisma. I am sure that he tells the same stories and same jokes at every venue, but he somehow is able to make everything seem fresh and like he is just ad libbing this stuff just for you. I would call it less of a concert and more of a song and dance with storytelling

2019 Tony Awards Reactions Thread  Jun 10 2019, 10:06:02 AM

I wasn't too interested in Ain't too Proud to Beg but the performance really drew me in and I'm listening to it right now and if it tours, I'll definitely buy a ticket. My non theater going mother was watching and was really interested in it too. That was my big surprise of the night!

 

I liked the Oklahoma performance but am not 100% sold on the modernizing of it. 

 

The King Kong puppet did look really cool in action, I didn't e


Booster seat for kid at theater?  Jun 7 2019, 07:52:35 AM

SmoothLover said: "I would take a plastic cushion similar to one that is used on outdoor furniture. That is more or less what they use on Broadway except they usually are black which is neither here no there."

I was thinking along these lines but wasn't sure if there was anything made specifically for this. I will also look into the bubblebums.



How is the current CATS tour?  Jun 6 2019, 12:22:39 PM

We are going in a few months. I showed my kids clips of Cats on youtube and both seemed really interested. I saw it in the 90s on tour, so I know what we are getting into  

 

Has anyone else seen the tour recently?



Booster seat for kid at theater?  Jun 6 2019, 12:01:56 PM

We have done the coat piling thing with my older kid but its probably going to be warm when we are there, so doubt we will have big jackets. A travel pillow is a good idea!

Social media policy  Jun 6 2019, 11:54:16 AM

I think that in this day and age, its a huge mistake and quite an antiquated view to have such a strict view of social media policy that a production does not let the cast or creatives post anything related to the show--e.g. them getting ready in their dressing rooms or sound check, or stage dooring, etc. (Obviously not talking about clips of the show, that should be off limits). It really doesn't make any sense to me. Is someone really going to not go to a show because they see an actor
