Will Glenda Jackson win the Lead Actress Tony?  Apr 30 2018, 10:41:57 AM

Her failure to attend the Oscars was because she had no interest in them, not for any other reason. She took no part in submitting her name for consideration, did not campaign, and was against the whole nature of competitive performance. She couldn't care less about them, and denies having "won" them, because that implies she did something to try to get them.



Is Bernadette going on tonight?  Apr 18 2018, 05:17:15 PM

 I wonder if she is scarred by the negative press she received from her absences and now basically does anything she can to be on

 

I highly doubt she is only ploughing on because of some bad press from 15 years ago that few people remember. What was her record like before Gypsy? Isn't it far more likely that those absences were an anomaly, she had good reason to be out, but now normal service has resumed? She's there every night because she loves her


Westport Country Playhouse EVITA Re-Casts Eva Peron Due to Racial Concerns  Jan 27 2018, 01:43:41 PM

 Isn’t Eva a racially white woman?

Does this change your feelings at all?

Goodspeed cancels Woody's show  Jan 26 2018, 11:44:56 AM

By the way, seeing as bk's Robert Weide link is two years old and focuses so heavily on Mia's defence of Roman Polanksi - Has Mia ever reached out to her over these past forty years to explain her lack of solidarity with the victim? - perhaps it is worth noting that Mia has indeed since apologized to Samantha Geimer, if only in a tweet.



Goodspeed cancels Woody's show  Jan 26 2018, 11:16:50 AM

I get where bk is coming from too, but when he asks us to "research", that just leads me down a rabbit hole of conflicting opinions. I can read one article and lean toward believing Dylan, and another that will make me doubt her - that's why I am (uncomfortably) reserving judgement. It's such a heinous crime, I would want to be absolutely sure before branding him a monster.



Goodspeed cancels Woody's show  Jan 26 2018, 10:55:59 AM

It's not good enough to dismiss anybody who finds the accusations credible as pontificating "without any knowledge whatsoever" - if bk would care to click this link, perhaps he might address some of the concerns?

It contends that, in fact, Woody is the brainwasher, and goes into great detail of specific incidents and quotes to back up that assertion. Recommended.

Mamma Mia 2 Trailer!  Dec 23 2017, 05:24:04 PM

This definitely says a lot as the rest of the original film cast was on a full shooting schedule.  

 

Yeah, the billing was also a giveaway - instead of Meryl headlining, it's just the tag-on..."with Cher...and Meryl Streep"...so yeah, RIP Donna.

Maybe she appears as an apparition.

The Lion King (2019) Cast Revealed  Nov 2 2017, 10:43:15 AM

^ Same with The Jungle Book, impressive as it was.

Alfred?
 

Yep, Alfre's twin brother. Lovely guy.



The Lion King (2019) Cast Revealed  Nov 1 2017, 07:34:55 PM

Of course the villain is British. Bit of a cliché, but Chiwetel is great so I shouldn't complain.

A special yay for Alfred Woodard.

 



Anthony Rapp: Kevin Spacey Made A Sexual Advance Toward Me When I Was 14  Oct 30 2017, 07:36:04 PM

Distinctive Baritone...nah. It's a shame his career wasn't over then. As you say, he was 26 at the time - if that was his behavior as a relative unknown, imagine what happened after he became a double Oscar winner and powerful director of a prestigious London theatre. As far as I can see, the man has an ego the size of Jupiter and he has always made my skin crawl. I couldn't care less if he never works again.

Perhaps you should save some of your sympathy for his vi


Anthony Rapp: Kevin Spacey Made A Sexual Advance Toward Me When I Was 14  Oct 30 2017, 12:14:57 PM

Hm, so Anthony Rapp is "weird" and "sexual"? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Good for him, and even if it were to be a negative, have you ever stopped for a second to consider the harmful impact an incident like this could have on the development of a young boy?

To imply that his "weird"ness is a reason to disbelieve him is utterly disgusting, which of course perfectly aligns with everything we already know about Dave19. How dare you dictate what the &


looking for someone to see a show with  Sep 10 2017, 04:21:47 PM

While I'm sure 99.8% of the folks on here are trustworthy....it only takes one to change your life.

Indeed, so for anybody considering taking up the OP's offer, please remember that he too could be a serial killer...

 



Cher: The Musical  Jul 9 2017, 06:29:39 PM

^ Yeah, a Cher musical, but without her music. Makes total sense. A unique way to do a jukebox musical. I guess.

 



Elmer Bernstein's two musicals  Jul 2 2017, 07:54:09 PM

Yeah, he's definitely one of my favorite film composers - I've been listening to the recent "essential collection" by the City Of Prague orchestra and loving it - so many classics. Hence my curiosity about his ventures into Broadway musicals. I don't expect them to necessarily be in the same league as his film scores, but they surely have some merit.



Elmer Bernstein's two musicals  Jul 2 2017, 07:41:29 PM

How Now Dow Jones (1967) and Merlin (1983)...

What were they like? Any posters care to share their opinions/memories?

Thanks.

 



Lin Manuel Miranda to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame...To Early?  Jun 23 2017, 03:55:51 PM

What we are talking about is their level of fame.

Their level of fame thirty years from now, you mean.

While Sondheim's work is known to many, even in New York, it's extremely difficult to find someone outside of the theatre scene who would have ever heard his name. 

So what? You seem to think that there is some sort of ranking system and that Lin "deserves" it more that Sondheim. The reality is that despite the name, fam


Lin Manuel Miranda to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame...To Early?  Jun 23 2017, 03:08:38 PM

What planet are you people living on?

Just_John, what planet are you living on? Here on earth, nobody gives a sh!t about EGOTs or how many instagram tags Broadway composers have, and certainly don't read any significance into it .

 In 30 years, Miranda is going to be an even bigger celebrity and most likely have the EGOT, while Sondheim will be gone 

It's great that you have the power of seeing into the future on your


Jane Krakowski and Laura Benanti drama?  Jun 23 2017, 01:06:08 PM

I get the distinct feeling that Laura Benanti might not always be sweetness and light. 

 

Will that hold up in a court of law? Damning, indeed.

 

Benanti is probably jealous of Krakowskis wider tv fame.???????

Smoking gun! Or not.
