Gotta bring up Mame- would just love this classic gem to shine again - I really think that is the only way Bette could top herself from Dolly. Not sure if she will take on another show though.- She won her Tony!
After seeing a couple of regional productions of this throughout the years and having a great time - I can only imagine the excitement and energy with this outstanding cast!! Would love a transfer! Why do haters got to hate?? It's a fluff musical open your dark hearts! HA AHA H AHA
After seeing both the filmed Australian version as well as the current US tour - the show seems to be carrying a bit of a self induced curse. There are some really very beautiful songs and memorable melodies in LND but is surrounded by gibberish and nonflowing transitions. There are many times I couldn't understand what was being sung, which then made it hard to get any details to the all ready thin plot. This is not to say the cast is at fault for they are extremely tal
all I keep thinking of is 'GOOP' instead of the GoGo's! LOL Since Gwyneth Paltrow's a producer on it - it seems like this is for a limited audience just like her brand and products. But I wish it well!
I think Vegas is going to be a tough city to please with Marilyn- but maybe that's what they are looking for so they can tweak it before it goes anywhere else after. Musicals seems to do well there but usually when the show is internationally known all ready - like Jersey Boys and Hairspray - both closed now. Million Dollar Quartet also ran for a couple of years. Vegas is also thriving on Headliners - and with no names to draw you to this show - i'm not sure Marilyn
LOVED this movie- but so much of it was editing and special effects -Tveit and Olivo will nail "Come What May" just feeling the scenery might upstage the content! We'll see. Also curious of what will be the line up of songs? Are they really going to get the rights to all the songs used in the film and what will replace them? Would love to see this in Boston.
Happy 5th to Kinky Boots - I feel like it's the little engine that could in a way. The casting has been so important to keep it alive and fresh with buss - especially when they brought Billy back a few months ago and now Wayne again. BUT I side with Hairspray as being a favorite- I wonder when the revival will be?
