Old? They still do it. At least once a month I believe thru Comcast. And it's really loud. “
Yes at Spectrum as well. In the middle of the night. If you accidentally fall asleep while watching tv and this com

Joe has been a revolving door since Dakin left and now you have Al Roker. Natasha sings the heck out of her song. Ben is a terrific Earl. Most importantly, Molly Hager is back as ghost mom. The show is strong enough to withstand the turnover as long as the lead is compelling. It sounds like Nicolette is up to the task

Yes the book is narrated at times by adult Scout. But the children’s scenes are played like live action. The well respected film also uses the narrator as a framework but again the kids scenes are played like it’s happening live. The narrator makes commentary from time to time reminding us this happened long ago. But she is not the focus of the scenes nor should she be.

Same here. The Jeff Daniels part does not bother me. Yes he’s older but I can still see it. But the charm and intelligence of the book IS the children. Talking about what you learned is not the same thing as seeing it unfold. This is my favorite book and if you would have told me I wouldn’t be gong to a sta

I did too. A memorable performance. I’ve seen her many times since then but this was always the one that stays with me. Sending condolences to her family and friends.
I personally have a problem with someone not seeing the show and lining up a couple of hours before the show is over so they get to be in the front of the line, blocking people who actually bought tickets...and then pretending they were there. That just annoys the cr*p out of me.
Amar Ramasar (Jigger in CAROUSEL) suspended from NYCB over Sep 9

I saw this for the first time this past Saturday matinee and though I remembered the news about the ballet suspensions, I forgot it included the actor playing Jigger. I just kept thinking during the show that I thought the actor seemed miscast and I didn’t enjoy his performance at all. Now I’m wondering if audience reaction colored my views.
And given the scene he has to play with Carrie, it’s doubly creepy to think what’s going on in his real life. I’m kinda glad I didn’t remember.

Must have been related to the woman who brought a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and started to make sandwiches for her family during Act 1. I don’t remember the show It was long ago. I blocked it out.

Perhaps maybe we wait and see. He’s never done this before. Maybe he’ll be awful but maybe he’ll be really good. Lots of experienced performers are just awful and other newbies are a surprise. I’m for seeing how he does before mak

If so, seems weird, but I’ve noticed that Jessie Mueller, Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz and Kat McPhee all had coloured playbills, while the understudy playbill, Betsy Wolfe’s and Nicolette Robinson’s are all black and white.
Jakeevan942 said: "The new Rotten tour is being set by Casey's associates, so expect a fairly faithful recreation of the full staging "
One of the best tours I ever saw was the non Equity version of Miss Saigon. The best cast ever. Sets were slightly toned down. No helicopter. Projection of helicopter worked great. Everything was top notch.
You cant really judge the quality simply based on Equity vs non Equity.
Nothing against anyone previously mentioned but Christopher Sieber please
And maybe they could do an Alan Sorken and do it as a memory and use adults in the kids roles because you know kids can’t hold your attention on stage. ((Rolling eyes)))??

I always thought that ushers worked for the organization (ie, Shuberts, Nederlanders) rather than a specific house. Is that not correct?"
Full time ushers are hired by a particular theater and only work there (though you can sub at another show on your day off that might has a different schedul
Go into show blind or music memorized? Aug 23

Usually I prefer to go in blind but that was a mistake for me at Hamilton. I didn’t have the best seat, it was early on and the acoustics were a little iffy.... and I spent half the show trying to figure out what was said. I think I would have enjoyed more if I knew the words ahead of time.
