BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC  Oct 24 2018, 07:13:23 PM

darquegk said: "There's a weird racial undercurrent to the show that I'm not entirely sure works- but the original film "Beetlejuice" is VERY much a satire of whiteness, from the Americana hipster Maitlands to the cold, stylized and artificial "cultural" world of the Deetzes and their big-city ilk. Delia and her friends are perpetually dressing in stylized, chilly appropriations and revisions of ethnic clothes from around the world, complete with near-Kabu

BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC  Oct 24 2018, 01:35:38 PM

This cast is too white. There is no reason why 8 out of 9 speaking roles should be cast with white actors in 2018. Especially glaring when every minority ensemble member is regulated to the R&B boy band bit.

Book needs to be funnier, but I guess that's what they're workshopping. Some jokes fell completely flat with no reaction. Beetlejuice as a character is very unevenly written. It's not Alex Brightman's fault, it's the material. Sometimes, the humor was gr


Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman  Sep 16 2018, 03:45:02 PM

Usually when these controversies hit and people make the excuse "It's called acting! You don't have to murder people to play a murderer!" I think it's a bull**** strawman argument to excuse insensitive cultural casting choices against under-represented minorities.

That said, I think claiming a dark skinned woman of African descent who even shares similar features can't play Harriet Tubman because her ancestors weren't literally American slaves is taki


Titanic Broadway Revival!!!  Sep 16 2018, 02:31:26 PM

^Didn't the original production double the roles? I didn't see it, but that's what it looks like on IBDB.

I'd rather have double roles than a production that's too expensive to run.



Titanic Broadway Revival!!!  Sep 13 2018, 01:33:20 PM

I saw the headline about this and wondered how the Signature production I saw would translate to a proscenium, but the Korea video looks like it's persevered the feeling of the beautiful set design.

I'd love to see more revivals of shows from the 80s and 90s, that haven't been done to death (looking at you, Kiss Me Kate).



CHESS at the Kennedy Center  Mar 1 2018, 11:09:31 PM

The clips went the opposite direction the sound issues of the production and had the solo vocals overpower the rest of the music, but still good to see.

The Problem With Broadway Revivals: They Revive Gender Stereotypes, Too  Mar 1 2018, 11:00:01 PM

Riedel on Chess coming to Broadway  Feb 21 2018, 09:48:28 AM

^Agreed. The Arbiter's narration and reactions were clearly intended for a concert setting- like announcing "Well worth the wait, I'd say," after Svetlana's introduction with Someone Else's Story mid-way through Act 2.

"The two major newspapers that reviewed it - Variety and The Washington Post - were mixed to negative, and the word of mouth on this board from people who saw it was generally the same."

The negatives I've seen were 90% the


CHESS at the Kennedy Center  Feb 19 2018, 02:04:36 PM

Raul sounded amazing Saturday night. The whole cast did, it was the best I saw them all week; they were on fire.

And then the Sunday matinee. Poor guy. The whole cast was rallying for Raul- Karen sang parts of Commie Newspapers solo instead of as a duet, and in The Interview, Ramin switched to almost speak-singing the dialogue so he would match Raul's tone instead of singing all out. And the whole cast and some of the orchestra applauded him after Pity the Child. As jewishboy said,


CHESS at the Kennedy Center  Feb 16 2018, 01:41:04 AM

HSky said: "There was entrance applause for Ramin Karimloo, Karen Olivo, and Ruthie Ann Miles tonight. There wasn't any when Raul Esparza made his first appearance but that seemed to be a function of timing in the show and there was hearty applause following his first song."

Yeah, it's the direction. Ramin, Karen and Ruthie come out onstage and are introduced by the Arbiter. Raul kind of sneaks on in the dark mid-scene, and it immediately transition

korenglish said "3. Overall, the story line was confusing. I only know songs in Chess, I have never seen a live production and there were a couple of “that seems kind of random” moments. "

I'm familiar with Chess, and the parts I think you're referring to (the bear, the Hindu story, diplomatic talks, the military maneuvers, etc.) were part of the new book.

I have many feelings on the new book/narration I'm still mulling over. Some I lik


CHESS AT KENNEDY CTR  Feb 12 2018, 06:14:15 PM

The left?

The front of the Kennedy Center faces the lot where the cabs and buses pull in. The back overlooks the river. The Eisenhower stagedoor is on the RIGHT side of the building, right at the front. It's labeled with a plaque. It's the only thing on that whole side of the building. There is a staircase that goes down towards the Watergate complex next to it.

Other than that, there is no strategy. You stand there. They come out or they don't. There's 100

qolbinau said: "I'm always perplexed at how much this musical keeps coming back and back and back over the years. If there is a cast I'd love to see or hear, it'd be this one - and there are some good songs I guess. But does anyone think it really works as a satisfying and coherent piece of musical theatre? I wish producers and investors would turn their attention to other projects."

Harry Potter access code?  Feb 7 2018, 08:55:31 PM

My purchase time wasn't until 1pm. I couldn't find a single pair of tickets for less than $165 the entire year. I want to see it, but not for that price. I decided to go solo and nearly the whole run became available. I wish you could have the option to not get 2 seats together. My sister and I would have rather spent less and not sat together than spend $700 on a pair of tickets.



Broadway Related Tattoos  Dec 22 2017, 10:24:09 PM

I have a Rent tattoo and planning a Sondheim one.

 

LizzieCurry said: "although I wish I'd realized she had chosen title case instead of sentence case, because then I'd have intervened."

The worst. I judge this in tattoos all the time.



CHESS at the Kennedy Center  Nov 29 2017, 06:03:31 PM

^Yes Emmaloucbway. They've been workshopping it.

I'm a total Chess nerd, so I'm less concerned about the new book than I am about the score. The only thing I want to know about the new book is that I hope it doesn't do like the Actor's Fund concert where Act 2 is a rematch between Anatoly and Freddie again. Because that's so lame. Freddie makes sense as a commentator. Molokov rolling up with to the chess world championships in Bangkok to stage a press c


Mean Girls @ The National in DC - Reactions  Nov 15 2017, 10:24:51 PM

Are all the people hailing Erika Henningsen preexisting fans? Because I don't see understand how you could go into the show I saw and come out thinking she has the audience wrapped around her finger, or she's getting Tony buzz. She's not terrible by any means, she's good, but she's not giving a Tony nominated lead actress performance. She should be carrying this show, and she's not.

standingovation79 said: "the Saturday Matinee crowd that that makes things like Hamilton a hit will, I'm predicting, not be that excited to see this."

I disagree. I think this is the type of show that sells out on weekends and holidays because people know the name, and then low attendance all week because the locals don't care, and the kids are all in school.

And the Saturday matinee crowd isn't what made Hamilton a hit.

Oh, there's one


Mean Girls @ The National in DC - Reactions  Nov 2 2017, 01:36:46 AM

I saw it tonight. I was expecting something as awful as Legally Blonde and was pleasantly surprised.

The book is really good. One of the better movie-to-show adaptations I've seen. The added dialogue actually improves the show instead of making me mad like Legally Blonde did. And it's really funny. People cheer during big movie meme lines- "On Wednesdays, we wear pink", "She doesn't even go here" etc. but they've definitely updated it. It's n


Anthony Rapp: Kevin Spacey Made A Sexual Advance Toward Me When I Was 14  Oct 31 2017, 03:51:27 PM

Kad said: "...am I the only one who doesn't find it odd that a teenager- particularly one who has been working professionally in the business for several years at that point- would be unaccompanied at a gathering of other professionals? Especially thirty years ago?"

No, you're not. 1986 parenting is not 2017 parenting, and a professional teenage child actor is not the same as Suzy Sophomore Smalltown, who has to come straight home after soc
