MAMMA MIA! Film Sequel Set for Summer 2018 Release  May 10 2018, 02:05:44 PM

Okay I'm so confused. Is Meryl in this or is she not? There does appear to be some new footage in the film of her and Pierce and her and the girls...

But they speak about her as if she's dead. Someone fill me in.

Come From Away would have won this season. The agony of if all when the nominees are almost all tied to IPs. 



Gender Based Awards?  Apr 27 2018, 12:03:19 PM
Someone earlier suggested just changing the awards to the style of performance I.e. drama or comedy. I think that could be a solution to maintain the same number of categories without using gender.

The example they gave:

Best actor in a musical Comedy - “Bette Midler”
Best actor in a musical Drama - “Ben Platt”

Could this work?


Lack of LGBT Protagonistse  Apr 18 2018, 05:19:59 PM
Representation matters, and is important. We need more representation of every group in general. How great would it be if it could just be normal to have random minorties be protagonists for no reason at all? Why can’t it just be normalized?

Imagine a show where a character was gay, or black, or First Nations, or Asian and it really didn’t matter to the story, it wasn’t a part of the story persay, it was just a part of who the person was?

Interesting that both Patti and Jelani got nominated but no Caissie. Guess that goes to show the size and impact of the role?

Frozen dropped attendance wise but ended up edging ahead of Wicked.

Lion King Tour Update?  Apr 15 2018, 11:20:47 AM

Tag said: "Lots of false info in this thread. As stated the national tours (all of them) NEVER had anything raise from the traps, but DID have the plants inflate from the deck and DID have the stage rake and unrake. Sit-down productions (like LA and Toronto in the early 2000s, DID have Pride Rock come out of the stage, amoung other things)."

I don’t recall the stage raking and unraking both times I saw it in Vancouver years ago. Did that change happen before th


Frozen Cast Recording  Apr 10 2018, 01:31:50 AM

I mean in Caissie's post on IG she is clearly singing Monster in the booth... so I'm sure it's being recorded again.

So I wonder if there's any chance this might be a case of scalpers being overly confident in a show and ending up losing money (to the advantage of the show itself)."

Frozen killing it. 4th highest grossing behind Hamilton and two veterans Wicked and Lion King.

Haha apparently! It's strange, every fan message board I've ever been on has been full of people nerding out and loving something together in community not people who don't like something

I count two negative, rest mixed to positive.

Not as bad as I thought.

Is the staircase just on a screen? In the video it looks very 3 dimensional or real.

Okay, I haven't been able to access my original account in a long while (can't remember password and resets won't send...) But I had to make a new one just so I could comment on that Frozen gross... HOLY SHIZ. I about fell off my couch.
