Breaking: New Version of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, EVITA, MACK & MABEL & More Set for NY City Center's 2019-20 Season  Jul 26 2019, 04:21:03 AM
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is indeed problematic but not solvable. I do however agree that ignoring a plethora of brilliant forgotten shows to try to salvage a mediocre one is clearly a clinical move.

The important thing with Mrs Meers, is that she have two distinct voices and characters. Her ‘public’ persona could be a sweet English lady (same as the movie) and then her ‘real’ persona a touch as nails broad from the bronx. Her fake persona a could be German, Irish you name it - the idea

Elfuhbuh said: "During "Wonderful," Elphaba and the Wizard used to waltz around the stage before Elphaba abruptly ended the dance and demanded that the Flying Monkeys be set free. It's been a few years since I've seen the show, but I remember the last couple times I saw it both on tour and on Broadway, the Wizard went to dance with Elphaba, but Elphaba pulled back immediately without going through with the dance at all.

Somebody needs to define "singer", etc., especially with regard to stars. Nobody ever thought Gwen Verdon was a "singer", really, but she sure used what she had and a large number of us came to find her "rasp"utterly charming. The same may be said, but even more so, of Angela Lansbury. So were/are these ladies triple threats? I'd sayyes, because both of t

Dolly's Age?  Apr 15 2019, 06:19:29 AM
It’s about the audiences perception not her actual age. Bette Miller didn’t play the role like a typical woman in her 70s but we know her as ‘older’ as she’s been in the industry for a long time. Added to that, her absence from Broadway for decades aligns with how the restaurant staff feel when she returns to the Harmonia Gardens - it was special. That was the theme with the original take over actors, casting women who’s hayday had long passed. Having those film stars such as Dorothy Labour, Eve

MadViolist said: "Having recently seen Hello, Dolly! on stage for the first time, I got really confused. How old is she supposed to be? When I saw the movie, I thought Barbra seemed very age appropriate -.wasn't she in her late twenties/early thirties? Yet the actress I saw in the stage version was obviously much older. I don't mean to be rude, I still very much enjoyed the performance but it sometimes almost felt like a parody.

MollyJeanneMusic said: "As a songwriter myself, I personally don't think that perfect rhymes are necessary for a good song. It's always great when you can find one, but to write a powerful song, the trick isn't to write to the rhyme - it's to write to the idea you're trying to convey. The song "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress has plenty of slant rhymes, especially in the chorus - and yet it's one of my favorite modern musical theatre songs. It doe

3. is it still a dance heavy show? because who wants to see CGI people dance? yes it is motion capture but still, there is a sense of awe in watching a skilled dancer do their thing, as soon as CGI is involved, I think most people like myself will instantly be less impressed because any difficult moves can be assumed to be all computer generated.

The fact that COUN-TRY and HUN-GRY isn't a precise rhyme matters less to the flow of the piece than the jUSt like my CoUNT-rEE I'm yoUNg scrapp-EE and hUNg-rEE.

This sort of thing always takes me out of the moment because of the uncannines.

Slant rhymes are a thing. "Country" and "hungry" don't rhyme but that didn't stop Lin Manuel from writing "I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy, and hungry." Hamilton has probably 500 slant rhymes. In one song there are 9 in a row. Their

RWPrincess said: "Broadway Princess Party has said on Instagram that she's joining some shows on the road later this year.

I would not be surprised to see her pop up on the Anastasia tour at some point for a short run. On Broadway, I could see her as Anna in Frozen or Jasmine in Aladdin. I was also wondering about Carole King in Beautiful but not sure if that's the right fit. Or maybe something new that hasn't been announced yet.
