New Wicked recording? Apr 7
2018, 09:23:26 PM
Both of those theories do make a lot of sense; it most likely is a few Out of Oz videos. It just seems a bit odd that they’re hyping it up so much when it’s most likely just a couple of studio mv’s, but I’m probably setting myself up for dissapointment.
New Wicked recording? Apr 7
2018, 08:44:13 PM
I didn’t really know where to put this, mostly because all the Wicked threads have been about casting and this doesn’t fit that. On Amanda Jane Cooper and Jackie Burns’ Instagram stories/posts, they’ve been teasing something “secret”. All the pics and videos have been in a recording studio, and Jackie Burns then posted a story of Amanda singing Popular. Then on Amanda’s post, there were many comments asking if a new cast recording was being recorded, many of which Amanda liked. One comment menti
I am too young to have seen the original production of Hello Dolly, but the ongoing production on Broadway (specifically with Donna Murphy) holds a very large place in my heart that several other Dolly productions I’ve seen have not been able to replicate. 90’s Guys and Dolls is a no-brainer. I doubt nothing will ever top the level of incredible the original Into the Woods was. I also think most of the Sher revivals are near perfect productions, and definitely deser

She’s good. But I feel she was trying too hard to be “super sultry Anita” without playing the joking angle of the song well. I don’t think she smiled once
Next WICKED Cast Mar 20

Just saw Wicked tonight, and I LOVED this cast! Laurel Harris was on for Elphaba, and good lord was she on fire! Her voice is like butter, it’s so smooth and soft yet incredibly powerful, and she riffed the roof off the Gershwin. Amanda Jane Cooper was such a fun Glinda; I loved her mannerisms and acting choices! During a lot of Act 2, she sounded close to tears and I thought it was an amazing touch to an already great performance. Also her Popular was hilarious. Ashley Parker Angel was an avera

Which Other Musicals Should Lincoln Center/Bart Sher Revive? Mar 17

In a few years, She Loves Me. The Roundabout production was ridiculously perfect, but I do think Sher could work wonders with it. Also (this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s a good show, bar the last few pages) Oliver might work? The Sound Of Music and West Side Story are also no-brainers.

Would Waitress be entertaining for an 18 year old? I have a cousin who might join us. Or is it something for more mature audiences? Also, if US pop culture jokes weren't a problem, would you still pick Waitress over Mean Girls?"
In my opinion, it would. It’s a really
Waitress or Mean Girls? Mar 14

Waitress, no doubt! Mean Girls is great, but its humor is specifically more driven in US pop culture than Waitress.

Thanks for the reply. It would be amazing to put this on my list. A couple of years ago, here in Brazil, we had a lovely production of My Fair Lady with Paulo Szot as Mr. Higgins. I fell in love with the musical, despite not liking Eliza and Higgins pairing up at the end. Is

It doesn’t give me chills per se, but Minnie’s opening monologue just puts a smile on my face every single time.
Also Dolly. No one can say that entrance isn’t incredible.
Bill Sykes in Oliver too. The mood and tone of the show instantly switches when he shows up in Act 2, and is a clever indicator of what’s to come in the show.

I’d love to see Paige Faure or Katie Rose Clarke as Irene. They both have wonderful soprano voices and can portray the comedy yet emotion of the role pretty well. Jonathon Groff or Corey Cott would be fantastic as Cornelius! They fit the age description give and take a few years, and they are both well-versed in comedy.

That was a really good version of the song imo, Katharine has a very light and airy voice that fits Jenna. She sounds very similar to Jessie, too.

How much do rush tickets cost? Looking to see the show again before Derek and Caroline leave, and rushing is my only option. I’ve seen mostly that it’s $42 but I just wanted to make sure:
