Favorite cast album for a show you have never seen?  Nov 12 2019, 10:45:48 AM

Lately I've been loving the 2017 recording of Brigadoon with Kelli O'Hara and Stephanie J. Block. I've seen the movie, ages ago, but never the stage show and it seems so fun!

Plus with other productions opening up people dont necessarily have to travel to nyc to see it, they can wait for it to be a bit closer to home"

You could look at it that way, but I'm a megafan and have seen the show...a lot. I think fans who've seen it enjoy it overa


THE BAND's VISIT Reviews  Sep 24 2019, 07:34:31 PM

From my copy of the book:

Sammy: There you are.

Dina: Oh god.

Sammy: The hell were you doing back there? What, did you fall on your head?

Tewfiq: Hey–

Sammy: Stay out of it, it’s not your business.

Dina: I was eating dinner.

Sammy: Now my wife is asking millions of questions because of your nonsense!

Dina: He says his wife is ask lots of questions now thanks t


BCEFA FLEA 2019 COLLECTORS UNITE  Sep 22 2019, 11:50:00 AM
At one table (the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers) I found a Band’s Visit tin with four coasters inside. Does anyone here know what its story might be— was it show merchandise at some point?

Shows you're most anticipated for this season?  Sep 19 2019, 10:13:22 AM

Company!! I'd heard of it before, but only since the rumors began that Katrina Lenk was going to be in it have I actually listened to it– and I really like it! 

Also tentatively excited for Six– I absolutely loved it in Edinburgh and was hoping the British cast would come to Broadway. But I'll give the American cast a try!



Six heading to Broadway  Sep 10 2019, 03:20:01 PM

n2nbaby said: "Has anyone sat in the rear mezz of the Brooks? Was looking at the $49 tickets but I’ve never sat up there. Any insight?"

I was up there for Waitress. We were toward the center, which definitely helped. It did feel a bit far, but ultimately we felt like we could see everyone onstage well enough. I probably will sit up there again for Six– which I want to see again (saw it at the Edinburgh Fringe last year) but haven&

COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 15 2019, 05:11:58 PM

Saw this from a Backstage writer on twitter:

"Apropos of absolutely nothing I swear !!!!!! shall we revisit Katrina Lenk’s *gender-swapped* “If I Were a Rich Man,” a performance that turned the gays straight and the straights gay and generally redefined sexuality? I think we shall."

The Band's Visit tour cast  Jul 13 2019, 06:15:54 PM

I went to see it yesterday evening! The audience enjoyed it (lots of laughs, audible ohs when Tewfiq tells Dina about his son, and awws when Amalia finally calls) and the cast was good. I enjoyed it too, really, although I am glad I got to see the Broadway cast. 

Chilina Kennedy played Dina louder & more brash, I think, compared to Katrina Lenk's Dina being more soulful and sadder. I felt like Sasson Gabay dialed up his p


 Jul 11 2019, 09:49:16 AM

We had a great production here in DC a couple of years ago. Daisy Eagan (Mary in the OBC) played Martha in it. I'd love to see a revival on Broadway!



Favorite Plays?  Jul 1 2019, 05:35:07 PM

My all-time favorite would probably be The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

Others include:

Or, by Liz Duffy Adams

An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestly (saw an excellent production in DC this winter)

Indecent by Paula Vogel

King Charles III by Mike Bartlett 

Pericles and As You Like It, both Shakespeare

So why are you even bringing up Lin’s acting regarding a cameo role that anyone with a personality can do? Your assessment would be applicable if he were playing Kevin or Benny.
"

Why not? He is wooden and always,always ,self aware. It takes half a second on film to have a bad distraction. Yuck. And by the way.... the Pira

teddy1996 said: "BrodyFosse123 said: "Camila has not been cut. The role is still being cast and the actress could literally be confirmed 72 hours before she’s due on set. This is normal and many Oscar winning roles were cast 48 hours prior to them filming their first scene. "

That makes more sense than that they'd cut her role entirely, I think. Sometimes roles are just hard to cast, even/especially if the


BWAY actors in unexpected places  Jun 14 2019, 03:16:45 PM

Not totally off-the-wall, but it was funny to recognize Leslie Odom Jr in an episode of Gilmore Girls when I was rewatching before the revival came out in 2016. He's in one episode of season 6, playing a pompous Princeton student who's on a panel with Rory. A Princetonian long before his success as Aaron Burr!
