Everybodys Talking About Jamie transfer?  Jul 12 2018, 02:26:33 PM

The Distinctive Baritone said: "I can't say I was terribly impressed by the Olivier Awards performance. Based on that number (which one would imagine is one of the best in the show), and what I've read, it seems like a flawed musical about an important subject. However, if they can "Americanize" the show, it might be able to fill in the space left byKinky Bootswhen that show eventually closes and be able to draw in audience members from that target demograp

“This shows you you have no clue. For a start you don’t seem to get how expensive staging shows in NYC is.

Why on Earth would a very costly musical close for a few months then come back on again just so another show could open in that theatre? The costs of that are astronomical, plus they would have to be simplified versions (touring) which isn’t at all acceptable at broadway prices.

JSquared2 said: "You don't understand how Broadway works, do you?"

I accept that Broadway is dominated by big brands and long runners (and so is the West End for that matter!) but I also believe that we need greater diversity and more new productions. The desicion to extend the run of ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ at the eleventh hour is a pretty frustrating indication that the owners of the Lyceum Theatre have no interest in providing new productio


THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Sets August 26 Closing Date  Jul 11 2018, 05:32:28 PM

I’m going to be honest and say that I am not keen on the desicion to extend the run by a full six months...

I have no grudge against ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’. It is high on my to-see list in the West End, and I have really enjoyed their TV work (such as ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’. However, as someone who wants to see as many new and exciting projects on Broadway as possible, the last-minute extension annoys me on principle. The Lyceum could have eas


Everybodys Talking About Jamie transfer?  Jul 11 2018, 02:27:34 PM

I saw Everybody’s Talking About Jamie on Thursday (as part of the cinema event) and generally enjoyed it. About six or seven of the songs have been added to my Spotify playlist. I feel like the contemporary pop style works for a musical such as this set in a modern-day Sheffield Comprehensive. I like the diversity of the cast, and felt I could relate to the protagonists.

However, I think that Everybody’s Talking About Jamie would work better as a film than a Broadway musica


West End to Broadway Transfers  Jul 9 2018, 07:33:35 AM

One of the major stories at the Tony Awards this year was the dominance of British productions, with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the National Theatre production of Angels in America being the two big winners on the non-musical side of the awards. The Ferryman is heading to Broadway later this year, and looks like it could be another British success.

However, many of us pay more attention to musicals, and the West End has provided several high-p


The Little Mermaid Live Action  Jul 9 2018, 07:14:14 AM

This sounds like an intriguing project. The Little Mermaid is a very fun film (and subverts Disney romantic cliches more than people give it credit for), but there are plenty of flaws with the portrayal of the protagonists, and the film is still dismissed as a story about a foolish teen who gives up everything "for a man". Therefore, I really support the idea of giving Ariel's story a big new remake. A live-action version could place the focus on Ariel's relationship with Tr

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS closing Sept.16  Jul 9 2018, 04:34:52 AM

CurtainPullDowner said: "Once the rights are released, schools will go crazy for Bikini Bottom."

I feel like it is very simplistic and annoying to measure a show's success by its run on Broadway alone. Spongebob will make far more through touring and licensing than it ever could on Broadway. Its unique approach to sets and costumes would translate VERY VERY VERY well to High School and Junior productions...

I get the feeling that the Broa

bear88 said: "I know it's just the first week of previews, but the Head Over Heels numbers look pretty awful, especially since it was filling all the seats early in the week. I thought the numbers would be better than that.

This isn't a show likely to get glowing reviews, although it might get some good word of mouth as a fun show.

Another problem is the fact that The Go-Go's are relatively obscure outside of America. Belinda Carlisle is prett

FROZEN cast performs on GMA  Jun 10 2018, 03:39:51 PM

Sondheimite said: "Alex Timbers was really really really going do something big with this show. Bigger, in scope, than what Julie did with Lion King. Even if you didn't like Frozen's music/book, it would have been hard to not be knocked over in awe of what Alex did with it.

Disney didn't want to pay the money. It's the same way Disney has been in their theme parks for over ten years

I think that whoever was responsible for firing Timbers m

JBroadway said: "I think Cats is the worst musical ever written, but you don’t see me see me saying it’s the theatre equivalent of the Room, because I know it is much too successful, and togenuinely appreciated by the masses."

I’ve seen Cats on stage in 2015. The criticisms about its story (or lack thereof) are totally valid, but I like the poems it is based on, and also like the choreography and costumes. I think it’s too well-made

My intent when I said Frozen was "better known" was not to dismiss Wicked. It's just that films find it easier to gain an audience, as you have more opportunities to watch them as often as you like. Wicked is one of the biggest stage musicals of the new millennium, but Frozen is one of the biggest film musicals, and film musicals will always be more prominent...

Frozen's arrival on Broadway hasn't done too much damage to Wicked (although the former is earning slig


Will "WICKED" movie be ready by Dec 2019?  May 18 2018, 08:47:59 AM

a-mad said: "

Uhhhh... I didn't say anything about promoting. I'm not talking about trailers, commercials, or posters. I'm talking about making the film itself. I'm quite aware of what this type of film's normal promotional trajectory is. I could care less if Wicked released a trailer only 3 months in advance of the film - I'm just stating that big films with complicated filming schedules, FX challenges (green-screen and so forth), and pre-recorded
