Haterobics, I wasn't speaking only to you, but I guess what I should have said is there is no need to add a narrative arc - it's suitable in its current format...wouldn't you say? I read the Guardian article, it seems like David is concentrating on the tour right now and has barely considered the prospect of a Broadway show.
I don't think the album is being turned into a musical...his current touring show is ready for Broadway as is. It takes in his current stuff and all the way back to Talking Heads. Read this Forbes article for more info.
I'm not sure if the OP is for or against American Utopia coming to Broadway.
Anyway...........
It is already a unique concert/ stage show, and has been touring around the world to rave reviews- it would make a great addition to Broadway, I'm all for it.
It must have been a series, because they are not the names and stories I am thinking of - but thank you all the same, Lise3, you have have been very helpful.
Hi, long shot, but does anybody remember the show Fired! at Second Stage. It was on winter/spring 2005 (I think...), and consisted of various celebrities telling stories about being fired from their jobs.
Fisher Stevens, Caroline Rhea, Taye Diggs John Pankow and more, but I guess I'm most interested in Rue McClanahan.
Can anybody remember what story she told, or any of the others? Who else took part?
Weirdly specific questions, I know, but I have my reason
What if the person only gave up the arm rest by standing to let you in?
Another finer point...
How do you know if the person occupying the aisle seat is going to stand or not? Approach and smile...I guess if they don't stand up right away, chances are they're not going to?
I was just reading the BWW headline about Patti LuPone, which uses "on the West End", and it didn't feel right to me - I know we say "on Broadway" but I don't think this transfers to the West End, or am I wrong?
I do understand how this show came to be, however I would say the historical fact of the executions have always been pretty much solid - the rumors of survival were just that - rumors, basically an urban legend. It has always been pretty much accepted that the probability was that the entire family died (brutally) on that fateful day. The people who made the 1956 film knew this, the people who made the 1997 film knew this - and the people who made the Broa
Good for you. Does this mean that all audience-members are aware of the truth?
The animated musical film is just as questionable. Would you enjoy a musical about Anne Frank where she somehow miraculously escaped the annex and lived happily ever after with Prince Charming?
Today marks a century since the brutal murders of the Romanov familiy at Ekaterinburg, Russia.
Despite what the Broadway musical would have you believe, Anastacia, aged just 17, was in fact killed alongside the rest of her family, first she was shot and then viciously slaughtered with bayonets. This was proven conclusively when all of the remains were found and verified in the late 1990s.
Will the Broadway show that bears her name be marking this occasi
A great life and lady is now extinguished forever. That's devastating, 92 or not. Nobody can go on forever, but that does not make the loss any more real.
I always enoyed her appearances in the various documentaries she participated in, she seemed so nice and such good fun too. Her work will live on. Rest in peace.
