A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Preview Thread  Dec 23 2019, 10:28:40 PM

SPOILERS:
"I love how the Ghost of Christmas Future was Scrooge's sister. I also love that her purpose was to show Scrooge that he was loved. The whole scene was hopeful and not "LOL, you're going to hell."

The point of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is not to scare Scrooge because he is "going to hell".  This ghost shows Scrooge how, after his death, no one really cares.  The ghost shows Scrooge men he knew are could care less that h


Hamilton 3D proshot  Dec 22 2019, 08:25:51 AM

Is it true that the entire show was filmed (and not just for LC archives) with the original cast for a release later in the show's run? 



BWW Boston Review: New Rep's OLIVER!  Dec 17 2019, 08:32:19 PM

The Broadway production of OLIVER! won three Tony Awards, for Best Score, Best Conductor/Music Director, and Best Scenic Design.  It did not, however, win the Tony for Best Musical. 



A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Preview Thread  Dec 17 2019, 04:57:57 PM

I have noticed that this show is quite frequently on the boards at TKTS.  Can anyone comment as to what seats they are sending over to the booth?  The website does not show a lot of seats available, but still it is always on the TKTS board.  Are these balcony seats, partial view?  Thanks!



Les Miserables - the Staged Concert out on DVD/Blu-Ray April 6th, 2020  Dec 17 2019, 04:52:55 PM

I was hoping they would make a video of the final London performance with the iconic turntable staging.  But we got this concert instead.  With all of the "staged concerts" that have been filmed and released over the years, and the movie version, releasing a video of an actual stage production seems to be the one thing we have yet to see. It seems as if Macintosh prefers the new staging, so maybe, as that production winds down, he will eventually release that.  It wou

Best touring production you have ever seen?  Nov 4 2019, 08:04:35 PM

The first national tour of CATS in Boston in the 1980s because....well, Laurie Beechman. 

Also, the national tour of PETER PAN, which I had originally seen on Broadway (my first Broadway show). Again in Boston and because of ....well, Sandy Duncan.  

Two theatrical events I will never ever forget due to the incredible performers who were in them. 



Bootleg  Oct 6 2019, 05:15:34 PM

I think I recall that JEROME ROBBINS' BROADWAY was actively seeking old bootlegs of some of his shows (most probably done with 8mm cameras) when they were putting that show  together.  Or did I just dream that? 

I think for most collectors it is just a way to preserve a favorite show and a means to go back and visit shows that have closed.  Who wouldn't want to be able to hear the entire show of CAMELOT with its amazing original cast? Well, th


Peter Dinklage in Cyrano  Sep 28 2019, 02:34:30 PM

I saw this at Goodspeed; it appeared to be set in the mid to late 1800s but I could be wrong.  Dinklage wore no face appendage, and not much was referenced regarding his nose.  They primarily spoke of some deformity which some could have interpreted as being his height.  Though again the deformity is never specified that I can recall. Overall I enjoyed it, but it was nothing huge.  It certainly kept my attention. 



Cursed Child Logo Change  Sep 5 2019, 09:47:14 PM

For those craving Butterbeer but who don't want to go through the hassle of making your own, I have found The Flying Cauldron's Butterscotch Beer to taste very much like what  they sell at Universal.  They sell it at Book-a-Million.

Original creative team reuniting for Opera Australia Secret Garden  Aug 22 2019, 12:30:08 AM

Australia?  Considering that this will (I assume) recreate the stunning original production I hope that this is preserved on video and released commercially.  That is probably the only way I will get to see it.  



Difference Between A Manuscript and Acting Script?  Aug 17 2019, 08:40:56 PM

There do tend to be differences between acting editions of scripts and the copies you buy in a bookstore.  I was once directing OUR TOWN and read the manuscript, which I bought in a bookstore, many times prior to auditions.  When we got the acting editions of the script from the licensing company I noticed that there were some differences, particularly in the stage directions. 

Referring to the non-acting version did help immensely at one point when I was at the end of t


Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY is NOT a remake  Jul 15 2019, 08:34:02 AM

That is the claim made in this Variety article.  "The new Spielberg film is a direct adaptation of the original Broadway musical of the same name, not a remake of the Robert Wise-directed 1961 film."  Sorry but that makes no sense! 

 

Two-Part Plays  Apr 21 2019, 04:53:35 PM

I think Horton Foote's "Orphans Home Cycle" was in three parts. 



Hamilton-Convince me.  Feb 4 2019, 08:13:56 PM

I saw it last year on Broadway and I did not like it at all.  I appreciated the talented cast and the terrific staging, but could not follow the story at all.  Much of the lyrics seem to be exposition, telling us what this person or that person did.  Exposition does not make good drama.  What makes it worse is that much of the exposition is done with rap, which does not fall easily on the ears or the brain.  There needs to be time for the ear to hear a lyric and the b

Oliver! revival?  Jan 23 2019, 08:44:44 PM

If I remember correctly (and I think I do) Mackintosh's Broadway revival of OLIVER!, based on his London version directed by Sam Mendes, was killed by Equity's insistence that all the little kids in the opening number, about 40 I believe, should get Equity Broadway contracts, despite the fact the after the first two numbers, they are never on stage again. 

Mackintosh threatened to not bring the show to Broadway if Equity didn't budge.  Equity didn't


Saddest songs in musical theater  Jan 9 2019, 07:42:13 PM

I am going to add "Just Like That" from "A Christmas Story".  I love how it starts off as the mother trying to get Ralphie to stop crying by reminding him that these bad times are over "Just Like That", but the song's meaning changes into the mother's lament that her children are growing up so quickly and she wishes they could stay just the way they are; that their childhood will be over "Just Like That".  A sentiment most parents

A Christmas Story Tour  Dec 8 2018, 08:48:16 AM

Unfortunately, I will not be seeing this year's tour as it is not in my part of the country.  But I have seen it every year for the past 4 years and it is terrific every time.  Looks like some of the same actors from last year's tour -the Old Man, Jean Shepherd-- but the kids are usually different each year for obvious reasons. Still, I have always enjoyed this tour.  If it is in your area, I highly recommend it. 



Touring production prices  Nov 18 2018, 09:57:33 AM

Boston has it own version of TKTS called Bostix.  It's a small booth right in front of Faneuil Hall that has been there for as long as I can remember.  And I don't ever remember there being TKTS lines.  I would usually just walk up or maybe have two or three people in front of me.  Of course, now they have an online presence which offers discounted seats for purchase, though certainly not at a fifty percent off rate.  If only it were easier to drive in Boston

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Previews  Nov 3 2018, 12:31:01 PM

Parade3:  I am wondering what you thought of the previous stage adaptation of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Christopher Sergel.  That one has been around for decades and has been produced frequently in regional production, but never on Broadway.
