Favorite Shows of 2020  Dec 22 2020, 07:02:29 AM

Company and Girl From the North Country were my two favorites I saw that opened in 2020.

Who's Holiday with Leslie Margherita  Dec 13 2020, 07:39:53 AM

Just watched the YouTube stream and was delighted by this little show. It's hilarious, heartbreaking, and uplifting. 

Netflix's THE PROM official thread/reviews/reactions  Dec 11 2020, 08:13:59 PM

I disliked this even more than I liked the stage show. I know I'm in the minority, but just like the stage show, I found the film to be juvenile, amateur, and tacky. Just not for me.

Samantha Barks to play Elsa in the West End production of FROZEN  Dec 8 2020, 07:44:39 PM

She sounds absolutely fantastic. Easily my favorite performance of the song.

What shows do you think Encores will revive 20 years from now?  Dec 5 2020, 08:53:12 AM

I would LOVE to see them tackle Women on the Verge.

Lea Salonga PBS  Nov 30 2020, 08:01:50 AM

I am listening to the CD and watching the songs performed live on YouTube right now from this concert, and WOW. Lea Salonga is one of those singers who arguably has one of the most gorgeous voices on earth. She makes everything sound so effortless. 

Chicago The Musical Appreciation Thread  Nov 29 2020, 10:24:27 AM

I love Chicago and I love this revival, but I have to admit the last couple times I saw the show on Broadway, the show has felt TIRED. I think Chicago would really benefit from a casting overhaul and some big stars when Broadway comes back. The production is timeless, but it needs a good cast who can keep the show fresh, sexy, and appealing... three things the show has not been when I have seen it recently. That being said, I will admit that the touring production, which I have seen multiple

ANNIE (1977 Original Broadway Cast)  Nov 28 2020, 08:13:08 AM

The original Broadway production was long before my time on this planet. However, I have always enjoyed this show. I absolutely loved the 2012 Broadway revival at the Palace. I loved the darker tone and approach.

THE MUSIC MAN Will Now Start Previews 12/20/21  Oct 21 2020, 11:03:56 AM

I got rescheduled to the day after Christmas. I requested a refund and will purchase again when things are more certain.

Glinda’s bubble.  Sep 26 2020, 06:12:46 AM

It serves as both a pendulum to the clock design and as Glinda's bubble. 

On a side note, while Wicked sure does have a beautiful design, the clock based design does not work for the show as the Clock of the Time Dragon (a pivotal point of the novel) is referenced maybe twice throughout the musical. They took the idea from Maguire's novel and left it at that. The entire design concept makes no sense unless you have read the book.


JAGGED LITTLE PILL new logo/ad campaign  Sep 26 2020, 06:09:00 AM

The new art looks like a bad photoshop project.

Cambodian Rock Band to Tour 2021-2022 Season  Sep 24 2020, 01:09:31 PM

My guess is that this will tour the major non-profits around the country. I don't see this being a part of the seasons in Broadway subscription houses around the country.

The Music Man is up on the Marquee!!  Sep 22 2020, 08:10:59 PM

Call_me_jorge said: "What if they are filming this and going to market it the same as Diana where they’re are going to release it on peacock or something prior to officially opening?"

Scott Rudin does not even have promotional video footage available for any of his shows. A filming released before opening is 110% NOT happening.


Kat McPhee Next Broadway Show?  Sep 21 2020, 11:54:16 AM

LOL.


The Music Man is up on the Marquee!!  Sep 21 2020, 08:52:21 AM

I also love the vintage look.

Is there any new talk about the future of BEETLEJUICE?  Sep 20 2020, 05:20:51 PM

sparksatmidnight said: "So they will also rewrite half the show like Addams Family?"

We can only hope... 


Is there any new talk about the future of BEETLEJUICE?  Sep 20 2020, 02:05:16 PM

f I were to venture a guess, I would say that the Broadway production will not be coming back in another theatre, there will be no filming of the Broadway production, and there will most likely be no national tour. This is a property that I can see being fast tracked for licensing for schools and community theatres.

The Sound of Music  Sep 13 2020, 08:32:48 AM

I find it interesting that The Sound of Music has only had one Broadway revival which was in 1998 with Rebecca Luker. Why is it that such a beloved and well known title hasn't been done more on Broadway? There was the Jack O'Brien directed tour a few years ago that did quite well on the road (granted it played to subscription based houses). If this were to come back, who would you like to see direct and/or star? I personally think Bartlett Sher could create a beautiful production at t

ALW's Cinderella  Sep 13 2020, 07:55:13 AM

The first full song has been released. I really love it. Also, Andrew Lloyd Webber's persistence and determination to bring theatre back as soon as possible brings tears to my eyes.

Beauty and the Beast Revival Coming To Broadway  Sep 11 2020, 07:20:21 AM
CATSNYrevival said: "I doubt we’ll ever see the original design again but I do hope they come up with something equally opulent even if they are on a budget this time around. Even when they downsized from the Palace to the Lunt, what was on Broadway was still far more elaborate than the bare bones third national tour and the later redesigned NETWorks national tour which was still directed and designed by the same team."



The NETWorks tour was one of t
