Interesting. Do you know if this new version includes the guys along with the girls?
Hopes for Spielberg West Side Story Dec 16
2019, 02:51:11 PM
I hope they do the original film’s version of America. The stage version completely pales in comparison. While the film’s America feels like an all out battle of squeals, the stage version feels like a bunch of bullies picking on someone for feeling differently than they do. I also hope that this team doesn’t undo some of the original film’s changes to the story, as most of them worked better from a narrative standpoint, like switching the placements of Gee, Officer Krupke and Cool, and havi
The movie is proof that doing so ultimately makes the story much worse. It’s an enormous part of bothThe Baker and Mysterious Man’s characters, and is arguably the emotional crux of the whole show.
West Side Story Revival will cut I Feel Pretty and Somewhere Ballet Nov 12
2019, 06:20:39 PM
What sucks is that the cutting of these numbers are overshadowing the implementation of the vastly superior movie version of America. What’s even worse is that the first Bernardo who has the privilege to perform such an amazing number on a Broadway stage is a perverted asshole.
I think it already looks like a promising group of performers. Although, I will admit, I’m a little puzzled about Will Swenson and Brandon Uranowitz. I’d think Uranowitz would be more at home playing Swenson’s role, and vice versa. But they’re talented

Ben Platt may be the obvious choice, but there’s a reason why. He was absolutely exceptional. The greatest live performance I’ve ever seen. Sheer perfection.
Audition Monologues for Shakespeare Comedy Aug 22

Im gonna be auditioning for a production of Much Ado About Nothing, and I have to audition with a Shakespearean monologue. Does anyone have any comedic monologue suggestions? Preferably written for a male character, but a female monologue that works for a man is fine.

I’ve heard the role being described as a lead once, but is it really? I know he won supporting actor that year. I also know he was nominated in lead for a drama desk. I didn’t see the show, but the only person I know who did says that Gaines was supporting

Agreed. Something that could make a musical (or for that matter, any adaptation) great is that the world and characters are developed enough to know them, but still open enough to interpretation that there’s a lot of option that could be done with the plot
AADA81 said: "Sounds silly to spend so much creative energy musicalizing a video game."
I strongly disagree. We’ve seen musicals of movies, books, shows, comics, and cartoons. Why draw the line at video games? Especially when said video game is probably the most well known and beloved series in the entire genre. If the Spongebob Squarepants musical has proven anything, it’s that with the right amount of talent and genuine passion, you can make a bril

Couple things. Her life was quite literally destroyed for a long time after the incident. She was a smart young woman with a probably quite a bright future

I also agree, I would fully support you doing this this work. It certainly wouldn’t be easy, but there’s honestly a lot potential in this beloved world, and you show some pretty solid ideas in your post. Who knows, maybe a Mario musical will actually happen. Detective Pikachu could serve as an indication that Nintendo seems to be getting a little more lenient with their games being adapted nowadays. Of course they’ll still probably be a bit careful when it comes to Mario. After the mess that was

I actually meant to mention Horace, but forgot. I really do appreciate the most recent revival including Penny In My Pocket, since without it, his only solo in act two is at the very end of the show. It also helps that it’s a very nice moment that really spells out who he is.
Tewfiq from The Bands Visit (Only sings Itgaraa, which he continues singing into Something Different. Its honestly pretty ironic that Haled is the only member of the titular band who gets much in the way of a vocal solo. Of course, this is more than made up for by the the band beautifully playing their instruments throughout the show. Ill never forget the violin solo in The Beat of Your Heart an
