Pottermore (Wizarding's World official news outlet) confirmed that there are news coming tonight but it's NOT a movie.
Anyone at the Lyric? Apparently there is lots of press invited

They probably have been asked to hold it. Apparently an announcement is coming (which is why no theatre site has reported it, even though a new marquee is generally worth of news).

He composed handfuls of great scores but have to rely on Disney to let them see the light of day outside of their movies: why wouldn't he be in the park for this?

Perhaps they are only bringing back Mary Poppins to do the same thing. With the new streaming service, I think I can see Disney filming quite a few of their stage works."

Disney's ALADDIN filmed for release Sep 2

Yes, but winning a Tony also comes with higher paychecks, especially for the role they won a Tony for :p
I'm still thrilled to get another recording of the score to hear. It's a shame they don't seem to record two times in the same language anymore.
Mistakes on cast albums Aug 29

justoldbill said: "Not mistakes, perhaps, but I love the use of alternate tracks, usually on Capitol in old LP days. They would often use different tracks for stereo and mono releases of the same album. Probably a question of frequency. And Thomas Shepard's quad mix of the COMPANY LP, and his more recentNIGHT MUSICCD remix. Fun, fun, fun."
That sounds lovely, especially to get a favourite LP and go picking up the differences. Any idea if any of those
Show was being (or planned) to be filmed on a stage without rehearsal Aug 16

THANK YOU!! This is what I was thinking of! I saw a thread about Rebecca and kept trying to remember what was it but could only think of Rebecca lol.
Thanks for everyone else, too. Guess it was stranger than I dreamt it

SO, I remember reading something about a show that was going to be filmed on stage, but instead of rehearsing the whole piece, actors would come in day of, learn the choreography for the required scenes, rehearse, film that scene and go out for the day. They were doing in a way they could avoid paying Equity prices or something, but I can't remember for the life of me WHAT was the show.
I want to say it's a one name show, but I really don't remember. Does anyone have a clue?

Could an opening/closing night happen nowadays? Aug 12
2019, 05:57:14 PM
Of course they were never popular to begin with, but it seems to have completely died down recently. The last one was Glory Days, I think?
Not that I want to see theatre failing, but it's interesting how it seems completely far fetched nowadays.
Are we nearly at the end of an era for our great musical divas? Aug 10

Yes, but that's theatre, isn't? They will all be gone at some point and, we can delay that, but it *will* happen. And their most notable feats will only live in our memories. And one day, we will also be gone, but those seats won't be empty, as theatre lives on.

It's not fully staged - it's a showing of the movie but with live music. The production will incorporate songs from Broadway, though. And no, there will be no understudies.
Rename a theatre for Hal Prince Aug 2
2019, 11:04:47 PM
While I do think that Hal Prince deserves every single bit of praise, I don't quite like renaming theatres after people; after all, if this medium keeps on giving and surviving, there are bound to appear more people whose significant work will change Broadway for years to come, and at some point, we will run out of theatres. Then next, we start to decide who deserves it more?
(Although I do love the "Majestic Hal Prince Theatre" someone suggested

I thought this would go on a whole different direction.
Anyway, if you're going in green makeup or a dress that weights 15kg, I don't see how it would be a big deal. Especially if it's something you bought off the rack

You know that you can wait and listen when the whole album is released, right? Just because you don't want to hear songs in drops doesn't mean that anyone else wouldn't want to
