I was digging through old Drood threads and was curious about the logistics of the voting process. Both times I've seen it live the chorus has come into the house with clip boards and asked their section of the audience for their votes. Then tallied them in the wings.
Is this how it

I haven't seen much mention of this, but in the movie...my biggest takeaway was that it was a love letter to older brothers. Is that still there?
I will hopefully soon have Visit as well as The Doctor tickets. The Boyfriend too. Saw this City of Angels at the Donmat a couple years ago and was not impressed beyond Rosalie Craig. But the chance to see her sing "It Needs Work" again might make me sit through it another time..
What is fantastic about London is how inexpensive ticket prices are, especially the usually more interesting Fringe and off West End. I was there for about a month-and-a-half this fall and saw four s

I'm luckily there all March and April. Such great theatre promised. The new Stoppard plus two Caryl Churchill revivals along with many others!

She really IS fantastic on stage too butgiving performances that were meant for the whole house not a camera closeup so they translated quite badly for the live taping. I findAngela Lansbury’s vaudevillian Mrs Lovettto be in the same vein when Sweeney was filmed

I don’t find it tiring I just think we need to speak the truth. I think it’s because musicals are traditionally an American art form and the talent pool is much larger - it’s almost an unfair comparison. If we compared Europe overall to USA overall it would be a fairer comparison. Otherwise it’s like comparing

I am going to complain!! I'm f-ing DEFINITELY going to complain! Because of union consessions and out-of-control capitalism in general, Bway ticket prices are WAY to high and getting higher and its the very LEAST they can do! And they are apparently DOING the very least!!!!!
Oh, please. Just remember the mob mentality recent 95% negative reviews Beetlejuice was receiving on here. And how embarrassingly quiet all these supposedly well-theatred posters were when the actual reviews showed how out-of-touch they were!
Bettyboy72 said: "After reading all the reviews my takeaway is that this is a decent play, somewhat overwritten and overlong, but entertaining. I don’t think ticket sales are going to jump.
I also think of Kushner’s plays as very white and written for white intellectuals. Nothing wrong with that, just how I’ve always felt. "
To a lot of people, Jewishness is still exotic and somewhat non-white...Belize is such a strong and vivid
Early on this board seem to be exclusively a forum for people to air grievances about a certain Glee actress whose obviously seemingly sociopathic extremes lead many on here to attack her in almost misogynistic ways that really disturbed me!
ACL2006 said: "The musical is very different from the movie. I enjoyed the show, but its big weakness was its slow start. I really only enjoyed the show when Dorothy was on stage. The supporting roles were very forgettable."
VotePeron said: "Having seen this in London, I’m surprised this is coming over. It’s a fine show, but not anywhere near as good as his other stuff, especially Bees. "
I did not find this a "fine" show at all when I saw it in London...
