E.Davis said: "It also looks like The Acceptance Song was filmed in its entirety judging by shots of Nicole Kidman in the trailer that were not in the final cut of the film. Wonder if we will get a deleted scene."
The full versions of this and You Happened are on the album. So I'm hoping!

I said the same thing!! I'm really hoping it's just some weird editing thing they did with the trailer and that is actually in the movie. It's such a great and funny line it would really stick to lose it!""
The line is definitely still

I have to say, Randy Rainbow is not usually my cup of tea, but I found this one super impressive and entertaining!

Same here. Have been waiting for a new musical from them!

Saw this mentioned as another curated theatrical walk thing. Sounds similar to the Gelsey Bell piece, which I absolutely loved, but in Prospect Park.

Thoughts on Theater 5 months into The Shutdown Aug 27
2020, 10:06:59 AM
I have been in the city throughout the pandemic, and the "rising crime" narrative has been skewed and overblown to play into suburbanites' racist fears.
As always, the vast, vast majority of incidents are taking place nowhere near the theatre district or where a tourist would visit (which is its own issue and discussion). And if you look at all serious crimes, the numbers are also still comparatively low by modern NY standards.
That said, these unfounded fears

Poll: Which play has used Zoom best? Aug 4
2020, 03:10:29 PM ahhrealmonsters said: "I propose Significant Other. I thought it was extremely well executed and proves that the play would work terrifically as a movie. I see it as an indie or Netflix/Hulu original type."
Agree 100%. Would be an excellent movie; hope it gets picked up by someone.

Kad said: "I don’t think that’s what the play is conveying at all. It does show the characters empathy, but only in the sense that they are all young and already tragically adhering to ideology that doesn’t really care about them, but they struggle with the fact that there’s a whole world they don’t know. It may accurately depict these ideologies, but it doesn’t endorse or excuse them. Will Arbery himself came from such an extrem

Was Next To Normal A Fluke? Jun 24
2020, 12:49:31 PM
I agree with nearly all of what's been said here re: Kitt & Yorkey (though I still love N2N in part thanks to Cromer).
The interesting thing about this question being posed now is that we were supposed to have just seen THE VISITOR, which I felt was the piece that would ultimately tip the scale one way or another; if that turned out weak, it would cement them in my head as one-hit wonders, and vice versa. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see it sooner or

I remember the reactions at the time being very polarized – folks either thought it was the best thing in years, or the emperor's new clothes. I was very excited to see it, but ended up falling into the latter camp.
Still, it's a good thing that more folks get to experience it now. Hopefully they'l

Significant Other - OBC Livestream - 5/14/20 May 15
2020, 01:01:38 PM
Adding my voice to the chorus of praise. A wonderful piece done justice by a strong cast and excellent direction, even in this new format. What happened to this play commercially and at the Tony's is a real shame.
While I preferred the live version, this worked so well for the medium, and I'm so glad they produced it. I didn't feel that the depth of all of the performances came through quite as well as live, though as some have said, Barbara Barrie was surprisingly exc

Broadway Cancelled Until Sept 6 May 13
2020, 03:47:22 PM
These are all great points, and I appreciate the discussion so far. One thing that your post made me consider, Jarethan, is whether once things start to reopen, shows that cater to more conservative audiences will start to get ahead, and those to more liberal (and perhaps older) audiences, who are more reticent to gather in public, will have a harder time. Obviously this is all quite speculative, but I could see a few factors leading to fewer risks on content and subject matter

Was surprised to find this announcement, especially from St. Ann's, whose artistic decisions I usually love, as I'd probably say this is the worst play I've seen on Broadway. I will say I could see it working better as a radio play-type presentation, which IIRC is a form it's taken somewhat in the past.

Jason Robert Brown Concert Apr 28

Joining the chorus of praise; I liked this better than the Sondheim concert.
That said, am I the only one who thought Ariana Grande's voice sounded *so autotuned* to the point of sounding like a robot? That was the lowlight for me.

Social Distance Seating Plans Apr 28

BeNice said: "I’m assuming they have done informal focus groups of audience members because as much as this is a thoughtful plan for a theatre company, how can they know if patrons will feel comfortable with this?"
That's the biggest question to me. Will people want to go back to events with hundreds of people by August, even with distancing?
