Under normal circumstances I could agree with you. This last election, however, is different. Every person who voted for 45 a second time actively used their vote to support complete bigotry, hatred, and ignorance.

It doesn’t necessarily mean those people are all of those things - but those thin


Netflix's THE PROM trailer premieres 10/22  Dec 3 2020, 06:41:43 AM

I’ve never understood the James Corden as a musical star thing because I just think his voice is so average, so given what people are saying about his performance, I’m really gonna have to watch this with an open mind, LOL.

I know you're joking, but I don't quite understand this whole fear and disgustof "canceling". Or how"cancel culture" actually works. People act as if it's some kind of law. It is actually the most democratic of responses. No one is forcing anyone to ignore

This isn’t specifically about Chad Kimball but honestly, I’ve avoided theater twitter for the most part these past few months, because the amount of sanctimonious moralising on it this year (and especially in the run up to the election) is just wayyyy too much. For a community that loves to talk about how tolerant and kind and all about love it is, it ain’t half intolerant and even hateful of anyone and everyone who doesn’t have exactly the same opinions as it!&nb

OMG this would be amazing!!
 

Watching the concert back in great quality after having been so lucky to be there in person was so special. I absolutely love the Bombshell score in

Yeah I really don’t get why they cut “At Your Feet” ..... id watched a bootleg of it recently and the vocals were a little shaky with the dancing but I’m not sure it could be that. Maybe they wanted to keep peoples attention by going straight into a well known number with Twentieth Century Fox Mambo af

Best Broadway song ever?  May 17 2020, 06:04:51 PM

Honestly, ‘One Day More’ is hard to beat!

Megan, Katharine, Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Neil Meron and Bob Greenblatt are gonna be on “Stars in The House” tonight at 8, chatting all things Smash!

HenryTDobson said: "Any casting rumors for this one?"

No idea, but given Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are all involved, then I wouldn’t rule out either Megan Hilty or Kat McPhee, depending on availability and all that!
 

Crazy we’re gonna have Tootsie, Mrs Doubtfire and now this all in the space of 2 years!

Sutton Ross said: "Disneyfan,

There was no chemistry with Samantha, but he met Jenna when she was in Chicago seeing the show, and there was a spark. That Summer he moved to LA, started dating her and has barely done a thing since.

I was really looking forward to seeing him back on Broadway again. Oh well.
"

He’s had a kinda strange MT career in a way. Before he got Once and won the Tony for it, he didn’t have a lot of theatre credits,

GottaHaveAGimmick said: "I was there in 2015 for this magical reunion. It was the Monday following the Tony's, so it was a big party.

The costumes, full orchestra, backup chorus, and principles from SMASH made it a most exciting evening. They seemed to really enjoy revisiting the songs. New choreography was awesome, and the crowd went nuts for every single number. There were a few surprises along the way.

This revisit sounds like a great idea!
