CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 18 2019, 08:02:58 PM

The Hollywood Reporter review made me laugh a lot (though it does have a few kind comments for some of the cast members. Not all though):

"The biggest drag in the seemingly endless series of featured felines is Grizabella, the so-called Glamour Cat, whose youthful beauty has given way to mange, causing her to be shunned by the Jellicles. Jennifer Hudson tirelessly over-emotes in the role; she limps around hemorrhaging snot and looking either miserable or terrified, like she


Austin Durant will take over Ziegler in MOULIN ROUGE for six weeks; Burstein on Medical Leave  Dec 13 2019, 09:48:59 AM

Jarethan said: "Burstein is perfection in that role and as close as anyone comes to being the (admittedly sleazy)soulof MR. Headded a dimension that Durant did not (I do not have my Playbill in front of me, but I do believe that was the person who replaced him the last time I saw the show), and audiences will miss out on that extra dimension.

While I agree Burstein was wonderful, you really should check your Playbill because, as thedrybandit pointed o

With all due respect,WOMEN ON THE VERGE was a limited engagement from the get-go. It just closed a couple of weeks earlier than the actual closing date already set when the show was first announced. It was never intended to be an open-end run.

I'm not going to roast you; I very much enjoyed reading your post (and not just because I agree with so much of it).

Welcome to the board.

West Side Story Revival will cut I Feel Pretty and Somewhere Ballet  Nov 11 2019, 10:16:00 AM

Tina or Beetlejuice ?  Nov 7 2019, 10:39:40 AM

I didn't love Beetlejuice--the story had problems and most of the songs are mediocre--but I would still easily recommend it over Tina. If you want the big Broadway spectacle and production values, that's it. It's fun (if forgettable), the cast is very talented and giving their all, the sets and stagecraft are terrific and worth seeing. Unlike Tina, which has Warren and really nothing else.

Anyone seen 'The Kid'?  Oct 25 2019, 04:39:41 PM

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but Amazon's new show Modern Love readapted the Dan Savage adoption story from The Kid (which he later wrote about in a Modern Love column, used as the basis of the TV adaptation). That got me thinking about this show, which I didn't get to see. The TV episode might have been okay for viewers unfamiliar with the story, but for anyone who read the book or read the column, it had to seem hopelessly sanitized. I have to believe the musical was better, e
