Funniest musical theater songs  Jul 23 2018, 11:41:37 PM

“A Little Priest” from Sweeney Todd is my gold standard.

“As We Stumble Along” from The Drowsy Chaperone is a close second.



Jeff Loeffelholz suicide news coverage  Jul 10 2018, 10:31:08 PM
if the producers wanted to fire Mr. Loeffelholz “for cause,” would having Bobbie and Stifelman’s statements saying that he was making mistakes, not audible, etc,,been enough to make the case?

It seems that if that were the purpose of this “rehearsal,” then I’d assume the producers were directly behind this.

If so, would anyone take seriously such an “investigation” run by them?

May he rest in peace.



Riedel on Diana Rigg being annoyed Ambrose misses Sundays  Jul 6 2018, 10:57:51 PM

ScottyDoesn'tKnow2 said: "...LCT could have handled her going down to 7 performances a lot better as the timing seems very last minute, but after a month of so people will know ahead of time that she's missing Sunday matinees and can plan accordingly. So at least this is more of a preemptive move that gives people a few months of notice if they buy tickets later on."

I checked the website and Telecharge during the day, and I did not see anything to alert


Stars who have regular days off  Jul 6 2018, 08:17:47 PM

With the news about Diana Rigg’s comments about Lauren Ambrose’s taking Sunday matinees off, I had a few questions:

1) When a star of a show has a schedule where they work fewer than 8 shows a week, is that Information put on the play’s website? And/or the appropriate Ticketmaster/Telecharge site? If not, should it be? (Shouldn’t the buyer be made aware?)

2) I know no one is ever guaranteed to see a star, but it seems that when a star has a predictable da

BANDSTAND! - Fathom Events June 25th-28th  Jul 2 2018, 11:29:22 AM

Steve C. said: "Laura Osnes and Corey Cott (and his hairy chest) really do rule this show emotionally and vocally. They are both terrific!!"

His hairy chest is even better than Alastair Brammer’s in Fathom’s “Miss Saigon.”

Maybe we need a new category: “Best Feature (of an) Actor” ?

 



Filmed shows (Bandstand, Newsies, Saigon)  Jun 30 2018, 12:40:25 PM
Can anyone with an NYC library card go and see the musicals archived at the Lincoln Center branch?

What if BANDSTAND opened this awards season?  Jun 29 2018, 01:17:37 PM

It’s hard to imagine vets who played jazz wouldn’t know other black musicians in Cleveland who also happened to have served (I Know a Guy) , even if in different units/branches. These guys all served in different units and branches anyway. Since there was nothing explicitly racial regarding casting or plot in the show, it would have been perfectly reasonable to cast persons of color.

I must admit, I really love this mini-trend (?) of shows where the actor


BANDSTAND! - Fathom Events June 25th-28th  Jun 29 2018, 12:18:52 PM

As Beth Leavel leaned in to offer some seasoned wisdom to Laura Osnes, did anyone wonder if she might burst into:

https://youtu.be/X6C4cTS7NNI

Please tell me she did it at least once in rehearsal.



Saddest songs in musical theater  Jun 29 2018, 12:04:27 AM

I agree a lot that have been mentioned:

“I’ll Cover You (Reprise)” from Rent

“Around the World” from Grey Gardens

“Children and Art” from Sunday

“It’s Quiet Uptown” and “”Who Lives Who Dies...” from Hamilton

“Empty Chairs af Empty Tables” from Les Miserables (I’d also add “Valjean’s Death“.)

“This Nearly Was M


Filmed shows (Bandstand, Newsies, Saigon)  Jun 28 2018, 06:20:27 PM
Thanks - I meant that since all 3 have been shown in movie theaters as a special release (I think all were through Fathom Events), I was really trying to find out if they were filmed specifically for this purpose of such a movie theater release.

And, if so, are other shows are in the pipeline?


Filmed shows (Bandstand, Newsies, Saigon)  Jun 28 2018, 05:57:06 PM

Were Newsies, Bandstand, and Miss Saigon filmed specifically for future release?

If so, are any other shows in the works?

After the show, I fantasized about hearing Chita sing “Omar Sharif” and Katrina Lenk sing “Kiss Of the Spider Woman.”


The problem with Spongebob  Jun 11 2018, 11:21:46 PM

Best Best Revival of the Decade  Jun 11 2018, 11:05:30 PM

It didn’t win best revival, but I thought the revival of Drood a few years ago was noteworthy. I love the show, and this cast was excellent. Chita Rivera was not to everyone’s taste, but it was fun to see her hamming it up.



Neil Patrick Harris and Rachel Bloom  Jun 11 2018, 10:57:52 PM

I multi-tasked at the beginning: did they actually introduce her?

She was relatively poorly lit, and I struggled to figure out who she was. I thought it might have been Krysta Rodriguez initially.

I agree NPH shouldn’t have tweeted comments about her identity and her speech patterns. He probably could have called someone and bitched privately.

One last time from Hamilton  Jun 3 2018, 09:45:48 PM

I was thinking about this discussion when I listened to this thoughtful piece from “On the Media”, a weekly show produced by WNYC-FM.

http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/on-the-media-2018-06-01/

It compares how Germany has dealt with Nazism and the Holocaust with how the USA has dealt with slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement, and institutional racism. It’s ~50 minut

RicardoMagon said: "That's a beautiful moment as well. Thank you for bringing it up. Yes I did hear it was Christopher Jackson's choice to do that and what a great choice it was. On the character of Eliza, I've always found her to be the heart of the whole show. She's the glue that holds it all together. Phillipa Soo was masterful in her interpretation of Eliza. It's the one lead role in the show that is not very flashy and the character has so many subtle and gen

Music for Band's Visit/Spogebob  May 3 2018, 08:48:05 PM

SempreLiberal said: "Hi all,

Any word on whether vocal selections might come out for Band’s Visit or SpongeBob?

Also , any suggestions for any sites where I could find the chords for songs in these shows? (If I have the bass line, I can generally get the melody.

Thanks in advance.!
"

Just bumping this up.

Any thoughts where one can find music for shows when it takes a very long time to have Vocal Selections published?&nbs
