10 Favorite BROADWAY Performances of the Decade Dec 11
2019, 09:00:42 PM
Not on Broadway, but the performance of the decade was Billie Piper in YERMA at Park Avenue Armory. Only the work of Laurie Metcalf and Audra McDonald in multiple productions even comes close to half the thrill of Piper’s performance.
It's a business driven by contracts. The ink ain't dry yet, so there is nothing to announce, hence that press release from Netflix. Trust and believe she is a finalist to replace Colman.
Mirren is not returning, thankfully. We’ve all seen that performance on film and stage. Imelda Staunton is allegedly next in line, but that’s all conjecture. Season four, which is Olivia Colman’s final run, is nearing the end of production but won’t air for another year. So, I wouldn’t expect an announcement anytime soon.

I came to this board after the one at Broadway.com was shut down, and this site became a viable alternative. The board at the aforementioned website was decommissioned due to the kweendom taking place, and it reflected poorly on their brand. I remember being in high school and living for that drama, and many of those posters migrated here to BWW. Remember when Namo was machoman? VelmaKelly? VoiceAnth? Munkustrap123? CATSNY? While I was in undergrad, this site was the JOINT! But like any platform
It is almost comical that those individual's have television's highest honor for three minutes of performing on a morning show, while other actors that have dedicated sizeable portions their careers to that medium do not have an Emmy. A few to think about:
I think she not only holds a grudge, but also allows it to define her. She knows what her fanbase (largely queer community members) live for -- a juicy story. Her anecdotes have become a meal ticket. It has literally become a huge portion of not only her career, but what she has become known for with newer fans. And quite frankly, if she hadn't had a career resurgence in 2005, her sitting around complaining about how awful everyone else is would make her
I adore Patti, have followed her career since childhood, and cannot wait to see her in Company. She is a living legend, and has earned her seat at the table several times over. But this person is incapable of accepting responsibility for the part she plays in all of her anecdotes. She continuously paints herself as a victim, never owning up to her sharp tongue or entitlement as potentially having a negative impact on these experiences. And she truly needs to move on from the ALW schtick. It&#

Have you hosted or attended weddings or private events at 54 Below? Would love to read some reviews on your experience(s) from this community.
Renee is sensational. She has the performance to backup all the buzz she's getting. The film itself is not without flaws, especially in the editing department, but Zellweger carries the film on her back. Guaranteed Oscar nomination, and the frontrunner for the win at this very early leg of the race.

Mary-Louise Parker’s last few offerings on Broadway were underwhelming, to say the least. With this production, and certainly text, she is able to shine. The role fits her like a glove, and she delivers like the theatrical titan that she is.
