i hear an oscar winner will be making their Broadway debut."
That leaves Jennifer Lawrence, Brie Larson, Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet, and Anne Hathaway (I don't think she's ever done Broadway, has she?). The most likely being Anne since she doesn't have anything lined up in the near future and she's the most likely to star in a musical.
Do shows see each other as competitors? Oct 11

The difference is that even though it's much easier to watch a movie, less and less people are going to movies nowadays but the supply of movies is increasing. Even if the movie is good, it doesn't seem to affect the box office as much, and producers are unwilling to change formulas. The number of audiences is dwindling because they don't feel the need to go to a cinema anymore and it's too expensive now. Therefore, the marketing of Marvel/Disney movies begins to look like, "Hey!

Besides the fact that's it's an easy song to screw up, acting-wise and notes-wise, I've also heard it's an overdone audition song that can get annoying if you're not really really good.
Harry Potter #KeepTheSecrets SPOILER thread Jul 31

It's like the Fidelius Charm. You can only talk about the secret only among those who know about the secret. Only the Secret-Keeper (Rowling/the cast) can share the secret with other people to make them also in on the secret, through the performance.
"My Blanket and Me" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
Though it's not much of a song as it is a performance that can be done as a solo, duo, or an ensemble. And it doesn't feature a lot of singing so it's great for younger kids who aren't as confident with their voices as the older ones are.
I also first thought about You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown but decided against suggesting it since 4 out of the 6 main characters are male (3 if you gender-bend Snoopy). I guess it could work since they did say there were a couple of guys in their group and the optional characters are mostly female (Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Woodstock, for example).

Saddest songs in musical theater Jun 29

Not really the song itself, but just Clopin's line in "In a Place of Miracles" from Hunchback of Notre Dame.
"Romanis again must roam Could there be a country kinder to our race?"
It's easy to get distracted by Quasimodo's despair about being forever alone that you forget the subplot regarding the discrimination of the Romanis and it's sadder considering it's the real-world context present even today.
I can't think of any else at the top of my head. But this definitely takes the cake for me.
A Black Eliza Doolittle Jun 23

I've always thought Eliza was one of the golden age female roles that could be played by a WOC and the production wouldn't be affected as much. It would subconsciously add something more to the divide inherent between Higgins and Eliza.

Zoe explains that Larry didn't cry at the funeral just before "If I Could Tell Her". I assumed that it would be natural that Evan would have been at the funeral to see that and she needn't explain that. It is possible that he was invited but declined to attend, which would look strange for the Murphys, thus, putting a kink in his image as Connor's friend. St

I think another notable plot hole in DEH is why Evan wasn't invited to the funeral. It was certainly one I noticed when I first saw it.
Les miserables school edition Jun 16

Don't jump on me if I'm wrong, but as an outsider who has no experience with these things (I came from a STEM high school), it appears that this rule was made to prevent theater directors from fulfilling their childhood dreams of starring as Jean Valjean in a school production of Les Miz and potentially taking roles away from kids.
That's why they put the 18-year-old rule as a random cap as they think that most high schoolers would be around that age before they graduate. But if the st
Great Theatre Roles that Have Never Netted a Tony for their Performers Jun 11

Georges from La Cage, Horace Vandergelder from Hello, Dolly!, and The King from The King and I have all been nominated twice in this category and never won, although Yul Brynner won for The King but in the Featured category, so that may not be applicable. I think Georges Seurat from Sunday in the Park has also lost twice.
