OlBlueEyes said: "Seems like you're the one who is so sensitive about it.

If most think the same as you then definitely leave it out.

I would like my favorite Kelli O'Hara to do well in this, and from my observations and the feedback coming back it seems like she is not making a great impression so far. As one person put it, she needed to get herself far more over the top. Have you checked out Rachel and the actress in Proms14?

Just a thought


KISS ME, KATE (2019 Roundabout Revival) - Previews  Feb 18 2019, 12:37:28 AM

Will Chase sounds better than he ever has in his career. Some truly great singing and he seemed to loosen up as the evening went on. By “Where is the Life that Late I Led” he really was embracing his inner ham and had some fun.

It was Edwin Drood where I realized Chase (an actor I had liked in Rent and High Fidelity) had a lot more in him than I realized.

Anna Kendrick as Glenda in "Wicked" film  Feb 13 2019, 12:01:07 PM

LizzieCurry said: "Or, perhaps, Glinda."

Oops, sorry. Brain fart. Been corrected. (how embarrassing for a Wicked fan!!)



Anna Kendrick as Glinda in  Feb 13 2019, 11:50:57 AM

Sorry for not adding the requisite question mark,  But this is my definitive declaration (n case Stephen Daltry is reading) why the only film Glinda (if they are going for star casting as I think they will) is Anna Kendrick.

She can sing. Not in the way Chenowith could, not in that beautiful soprano a lot of stage Glindas (but definitely not all) enter with. But she CAN sing. And well. She was, in my opinion, wonderful as Cinderella singing Sondheim.  And that called for


LADY GAGA IN  Feb 13 2019, 11:04:18 AM

SomethingPeculiar said: "TheSassySam said: "I wonder if the originals will be placed in the film somewhere. Kristin as Madame Morrible?"

Not Morrible, but they'll probably beinvolved in some capacity.

I actually think the likelihood of Meryl Streep playing Morrible is pretty high right now,because she's worked with both Stephen Daldry and Marc Platt, and these cameo performances in high-profile movies help her retain some box-office cl


GYPSY Film Happening  Feb 7 2019, 01:44:01 PM

QueenAlice said: "Owen, I know people like to point to history when they mention that historically Rose was a young woman. But this really isn’t a history play- it’s a musical fable that was specifically tailored for the musical and dramatic gifts of Ethel Merman. Merman was in her early 50s when the play premiered and I personally think it works best when the part is played by someone in the shade of that age. I think, especially for film, in this day and age it might be

GYPSY Film Happening  Feb 7 2019, 12:05:41 PM

Niles Silvers said: "It's interesting that the first thing people come up with in relation to female leads is age."

I think we're  harping because on stage Rose has always been played by aging battleaxes. But Rose Hovick was a young woman when she began her journey and was not yet 38 years old when June elopes with Tulsa (she actually married Herbie when she was 26).  So really Anne Hathaway is much closer to Rose's age than Louise.

 


A Sondheim Letter  Feb 3 2019, 04:43:14 AM

GavestonPS said: "To take but one example, Sondheim hasbeen saying in articles and in his own books for decades that "intricate rhyming always indicates education and high intelligence", and then he tells the story about Sheldon Harnick knocking Maria's "I Feel Pretty" in WSS.

Well, one can quarrel with some of Maria's vocabulary in that song ("committee"?), but reservingrhymefor uneducated characters ignores the considerable success o

Merrily We Roll Along Previews (2019)  Jan 19 2019, 12:01:04 AM

I have a question. One of the things that has always bugged me about the rewritten version (and even though the Friedman Merrily was a vast improvement on any production of the "new" Merrily I've ever seen, it still didn't land well for me) was the incorporating Scenes Two and Three (TV Studio and restaurant) into one scene.  That Frank hauls off and tries to punch Charlie right after Charlie's televised breakdown.  Charlie clearly does not do this maliciously.

Perfect casting for a revival that never has happened  Jan 18 2019, 02:05:43 PM

Jane Krakowski is MAME. That is all.



The Scottsboro Boys?  Nov 19 2018, 10:26:12 PM

And by hung up and race, I meant the politically correct ethos that had protesters outside of the original production. And the absolute stupidity behind the whole Great Comet mess.



The Scottsboro Boys?  Nov 19 2018, 10:24:12 PM
I saw the show on Broadway and I saw this show in the West End. And though you are correct, that some African Americans did participate in minstrel shows, the racism of black face was white men in black face.

The Scottsboro Boys?  Nov 18 2018, 04:56:42 PM
I love the score! I actually love a lot of the show! But the authors had to subsume the actual concept that would bring its ideas to the forefront. No one is ready (or will be ready for a long time) to have the show done by white men in black face. But by having actual black men do a Minstrel Show whitewashes, excuse me, and dilutes (and confuses) the horrors of this type of presentational racism. And somewhat (I would bet) lessens the shows impact. I'm actually surprised some European Director

Not so fast. I saw Craig, years ago as Giulietta in Aspects of Love at the Men


The Bad Seed- Revival?  Sep 13 2018, 07:38:05 AM

"There is a musical version I haven't seen, but I hear it is played for camp and is very funny."
 


Joel Paly wrote a campy musical version called "Seedy" but he could never get the rights from Maxwell Anderson's estate. So he changed it enough to get around copyright and created the off Broadway hit "Ruthless".
