Riedel on the growing hype for Moulin Rouge!  Aug 6 2018, 06:22:01 PM

singer234 said: "If I were one of the producers, I’d also be doing everything I could to try and make Satine Ariana Grande’s return to Broadway. Not necessarily saying she would be any good, but damn would that be the smash of the year."

This may just be me, but I don't think Ariana could give Satine the emotional depth she needs. I thought Karen did a good job of it.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/5/18  Aug 6 2018, 06:19:19 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a musical gross as little as Gettin' the Band Back Together has; it reminds me of (albeit a straight play) A Doll's House Part 2 after Julie White took over for Laurie Metcalfe. How long can it survive, even if Davenport pours money into hand-over-fist?

Robbie2 said: "heard the Shubert Org offered the Winter Garden"

Gosh, that would be perfect; it's a much better fit than the Hirschfeld (and we know for sure that the Winter Garden will be open next year). Fingers crossed!



Moulin Rouge at Emerson Colonial Theatre Reviews  Aug 6 2018, 02:56:14 AM

Jilani said: "standingovation79 said: "the only thing that rings TRUE about Brantley's review is the BADLY WRITTEN book by John Logan (I can't believe the check cleared after the producers saw what his book read like)."

That is not what he said - the NYT review calls the book "baldlywritten", not "badly", and then goes on to say that it is "still trimmable". In other words, Brantley is saying that as sparely (i.e., b


Moulin Rouge Colonial Theatre Previews  Aug 5 2018, 03:47:42 PM

dramamama611 said: "Has anyone here seen this from the BALCONY? I'm considering going back again, but don't want to spend too much $. Thoughts appreciated!



AND Impossible 2: I'm not a fan of the film, either. And I really enjoyed it. It does seem like the less you are attached to the film, the more you like the stage version.
"

This makes a lot of sense to me, and I wonder if it's the same for other adaptations.


Moulin Rouge at Emerson Colonial Theatre Reviews  Aug 5 2018, 03:46:16 PM

This is the first time in a looong time that I've agreed with a Brantley review in its entirety. Including that Act 2 runs a little long. I'm glad to see Karen and Aaron getting the recognition they deserve in this rave too!

pdjennings said: "Drove up from DC to see this today.

Worth every second on the road and every cent of the ticket price.

Once again, the negativity on this board leaves me flabbergasted and extremely confused.

Moulin Rouge! was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are gigantic fans of the film, and the show far exceeded our every expectation.
"

It somehow always stuns me (the negativity). :/



Ruthie Ann Miles return to K&I in London  Aug 4 2018, 03:27:01 PM

What an example of strength and grace! I won't dwell on the tragedy here; I'll simply say how wonderful it is to see her back in the theatre, which is clearly something that has helped her to heal. Here's to a great run for her and the production!



All Female "1776" Tour  Aug 4 2018, 03:11:02 PM

The Distinctive Baritone said: "I’m thinking of doing a gender-flexible 1776 at my school, but a purposely all-female one? Why? Just to “stick it to the man?” Are they all the characters lesbians now? This just seems silly."

Maybe for the same reason Hamilton only casts people of color for the lead roles: the founders of the country have entered into a kind of mythic status* that transcends race/gender and we should recognize that


Can HS students lottery w/o an ID  Aug 3 2018, 09:11:00 PM

so you guys have never left the country and don't have a passport?

BroadwayMan5 said: "I still think the Winter Garden is a better option for this show than the Hirschfeld and we already know for sure the WG will be open come January.

I wonder if the growing buzz will make them consider opening in time for the 2019 Tonys especially since it looks like another weakish season.
"

The producers are the same as the ones for King Kong, and supposedly they don't want this show competing with KK for the technical


What could be next for Bernadette Peters?  Aug 3 2018, 02:58:16 PM

Sweeney Todd, yes please. I'd love seeing her tackle Mrs Lovett.



Stockard Channing at Stage Door  Aug 3 2018, 04:13:53 AM

I've been a fan of Stockard Channing for a while, so Roundabout doing Apologia is very exciting for me; I'm hoping to get tickets early in the run. Good to know she came out in London, and fingers crossed it isn't an insane stage-door experience.



What could be next for Bernadette Peters?  Aug 3 2018, 12:53:07 AM

I could see her doing another limited/streaming series now that Amazon canceled Mozart in the Jungle.

Edit: also it probably will never happen because it doesn't really fit her persona, but I would love to see her do a guest spot on something like AHS the way Patti Lupone and Christine Ebersole both have.



Rosemary Harris Will Take Over as 'Mrs. Higgins' in MY FAIR LADY  Aug 2 2018, 03:23:34 PM

KFC1991 said: "Dear Ms. Harris: if your caller ID says "M. Riedel" press "ignore.""

LOL!

This is great news. I might have to squeeze another performance of My Fair Lady into my budget for the fall.



Anastasia/ Christy?  Aug 2 2018, 03:14:03 AM

I would be shocked if Christy left any time in the near future because she loves the show and role so much.

Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From?  Aug 2 2018, 03:01:53 AM

Moriah3 said: "Does anyone know if you write to Taylor Trensch asking for a playbill signed by him, if he will send one back? Also does Donna Murphy respond? I wrote to her and hoping to hear back from her."

If it gets to Donna, I'm pretty sure she'll respond; she's very fan-oriented. It's just that the Shubert mailroom has lost stuff sent to her before (it happened to me last year). So if worst comes to worst, try again towards the end of her run!

Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From?  Aug 1 2018, 03:45:30 AM

Has anyone written to Lauren Ambrose in My Fair Lady yet, and if so, does she reply? I really loved her performance and would like to send a letter/ask for a signed Playbill.

And on the same note--does MFL charge for cast-signed playbills?

jayinchelsea said: "Stop trashing Aaron (and Karen)! They're both terrific in the show.

But when can we expect to see some media reviews for the show? It looked as though it opened on Sunday night, but perhaps that wasn't the "press night"? Actually, I have searched all over, and can't find an official opening night date for MR. What's that about?
"

The 3rd still sticks in my mind for some reason but I can't be sure. Also agree


Donna Murphy to Return to Broadway's  Jul 31 2018, 06:46:00 PM

ACL2006 said: "I felt bad for when Linda went on. The performance was delayed due to people leaving the theater and getting refunds. But I'd love to see current u/s Carmen Ruby Floyd in the role."

She went on as Mrs Rose this past Sunday when I saw it, and I agree; I think she'd be a very good Dolly.
