He actually did sing one of the "songs" that Nathan Fosbinder wrote for the "show" - check it out!

I'm surprised Christian Borle wasn't included as a principal soloist for Little Shop.  I'm pleasantly surprised by this category - in a year without a lot of theatre, it's easy to forget how incredible the Broadway and Off-Broadway landscape was in late 2019 and even in the first few months of 2020.

No one cared forRent LIve!, which was also broadcast on Fox not NBC? Is it more so just previous and notable cast members singing lines ofwhat I would assume isSeasons of Love?"

I was very confused about this too!  Personally, I'm excited to see the sneak peek at shows that will be arriving in the future, as

Due to some planned renovations, The Minutes is leaving the Cort and will reopen on March 15, 2022, exactly two years after its scheduled opening date.

What are we thinking about this?  The article states that they're hoping the whole cast will return, but do we think that's feasible?  What does this say about t

Here's an interesting thing to think about, if these rumors are true: who would play Lydia?  After Sophia Anne Caruso's sudden departure, Presley Ryan took over the role full-time, but then she announced she would be leaving herself, and then the shutdown happened a week or two before she was scheduled to leave.  If the show were to come back, Dana Steingold would probably return in some capacity, so that might be a possibility, but that still leaves an opening for a Girl Sc

Personally, if Disney finds enough money to reopen Aladdin (haha), I think it was starting to overstay its welcome anyway.  I wouldn't mind them having a limited "last hurrah" of a run, maybe bring in some big stars, maybe Alex Newell as the Genie, let the show go out with a bang worthy of the show's spectacle.  Then bring in Herc

In the Playbill article with nominees' reactions to their nominations, Rob Howell (Scenic + Costume Design for A Christmas Carol) says, "We are looking forward to remounting [the show] on Broadway in 2021 and also a simultaneous American national tour."

Is this news?  I don't remember seeing a

One interesting possibility that now arises: could they potentially recast Tony and reshoot some of the scenes in this extra time?  It's been a while since it happened, but there was a credible accusation of sexual assault and rape against Ansel Elgort, and this extra year might give them the chance to find another actor, maybe someone in the theatre community.  (I read somewhere that Antonio Cipriano auditioned for Tony, and I'd love to see him and Rachel Zegler on the big

I feel like the show's setting itself up for a really great year, year and a a half, and then an instant decline the second the leads leave.  The marquee itself doesn't even have the name of the show on it - that's just on the  hanging poster above the marquee.  This will very quickly become the "Hugh and Sutton" show, and the second either of them leave, the show's going to have a rude awakening.

And you know why people are still upset about Be

Interestingly enough, there was a TV series remake in 2018 that was delayed twice after school shootings.  It didn't get great reviews at all and seemed to be way more socially conservative than any other iteration of

I'd love to see a production that went with a "puppet show" aesthetic, kind of mirroring the puppet show version of Lonely Goatherd from the movie.  To be entirely honest, I wouldn't mind if they had some of the people from the 2012 NBC production do a revival - I don't think Carrie would want to do it again (although I didn't think she was nearly as bad as many others did), but Christian Borle and Laura Benanti as Max and Elsa was pretty perfect casting, and th

VintageSnarker said: "They need to hire a woman. Preferably a WOC but at the very least a woman.

Brantley is still capable of taking delicious jabs at productions or choices that deserved the derision. Flat acting, lazy writing, baffling scenic design. He wrote some of the best pans. But he would also take some weird shots at female characters, actresses, shows for a teen girl demographic, etc. that I'm surprised got past the editors in these supposedly PC times.&

Holy POOP this is good casting

Amy Adams Joins Universal's "Dear Evan Hansen" Musical

AEA AGMA SM said: "DooWahDiddy said: "I agree with you, but it's not really fair (or true) to say there are no horns in the orchestration, when obviously there is a version that includes them. Plenty of theatres do the Broadway version; there are more harmonies, a bigger band, and some people just like to do "new" versions of shows."

Not to mention that as a theatre that typically works in rotating rep, it would make sense to use the larger

It looks like it's taking the Beautiful route of having multiple artists' songs in the show - the article says that along with Joni's music, the show will also include music by Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Cass Elliot; and James Taylor.  I haven't heard about this before, but I love Joni's music and think this could be excellent - and Christy Altomare is perfect casting.

This would be my dream cast:

Andrew Barth Feldman/Roman Banks as Evan

Alex Boniello/Colton Ryan as Connor (the movie at least got one thing right!)

Sky Lakota-Lynch as Jared

Sammie Williams as Alana

Gabrielle Carrubba/Olivia Puckett as Zoe

Ivan Hernandez as Larry

Ann Sanders as Cynthia

Rachel Bay Jones as Heidi

My thought with this is that it would give the Broadway actors who have worked so hard on this show a chance to show it t

I don't know this show, but the mention of it always makes me think of this Andrew Rannells video where he talked about the audition process and the trouble he had with doing the basketball maneuvers out of town.  Plus, there's a bonus of him singing "Let Me Be Your Star" from Smash at the end!
