We already have an excess of jukebox musicals; the next step is to jettison the book and simply perform the songs.. Do you think this might happen, and who are the likely perpetrators?"
I could see Billy Joel filling in for Bruce for a few weeks.

They’re clearly not thinking of you! Next time just stand up and growl “insolent fool!”

JSquared2 said: "There is no filming allowed during the performance. That includes curtain call. "
True. Although there are often many people taking pictures (which could well be videos) during curtain calls, I have never seen an usher intervene, since simultaneously many people are exiting the theater.

I agree. It shows how mediocre a talent Maureen is. In that case, it does the job very well. But it’s painful to listen to again. I always skip it.
Same for me with “Your Eyes.” Roger clearly was not a great songwriter. The best part of the song is by Puccini: Musetta’s theme in the electric guitar. &nbs
“A Little Priest” from Sweeney Todd is my gold standard.
“As We Stumble Along” from The Drowsy Chaperone is a close second.

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?

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
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

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” ?

Can anyone with an NYC library card go and see the musicals archived at the Lincoln Center branch?
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

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.
