Charlie going Non-Union Aug 19
2019, 03:30:10 PM
I’ve always wondered why Equity didn’t have an associate member option, like SDC does. I’m an associate member of SDC so I can take non union work, but only sign SDC contracts when working with Equity Actors and Stage Managers. I know there is the EMC program— but that’s simply to earn points to join the union as an option outside of needing a contract to do so.
I have plenty of friends who’ve had consistent work on non-eq tours and regional/Summer Stock productions; and then ge

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!...Lenk is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CHOICE for a role that is written for a very New York City man/woman!!...i know you all loved Katrina's work in The Bands Visit, but honestly is she right for this role?...NO NO NO...please stop these rumors and pure speculation...let's just wait and see who is
Every time this thread is bumped I’m hoping there’s a new casting announcement for this! I don’t remember the last time I’ve anticipated the announcement of a show’s casting like I am with this show!
With the rumors mentioned in this thread about who will be Bobbie (Tony Winner in the last 5 years) I can see any of them being an inspired choice for the role; yet all so different. Jessie seems the most obvious choice and she would be fantastic
Problem with links in posts Aug 11

I have the same issue on my iPhone X. I have to press down on any links and utilize 3D Touch to open link in a browser window. This is with links to other sources or even within Broadwayworld, such as the broadway Grosses. It’s been like this for months.
However, whenever I get an alert update for a new news story in the app and I click close when it pops up, it brings me to the article in the app taking me away from what I’m actually reading here....
Also, I’m not allowed

According to Variety, Awkwafina and Jacob Tremblay have signed on to play Scuttle and Flounder, respectively.
This is the second musical film adaptation recently announced where Awkwafina has been cast in a male role! Maybe the poster who asked “what’s an Awkwafina?” Will now learn how to google.

I agree with those who have suggested that Miranda should be a non Singing role. She’d be much more powerful and intimidating if she simply had strong book scenes and presence without breaking into song. For example: The biggest problem (IMHO) with LaChiusa’s BERNARDA ALBA is giving the titular character songs. The songs he wrote for the Matriarch let us in to her psyche and allow us to empathize with the character when we shouldn’t. She would have been much more terrifying if she didn’t hav

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Ron is supposed to be based on Jerry Lanning.
The past two weeks episodes have been the best of the whole mini series. Special shout outs to Minkie Spiro for Directing and Ike Holter for writing the episode— the best written and directed episode to date.

Is it safe to say that Lauren Patten is the Way Too Early Prediction for Best Featured Actress in a Musical?
An Assistant Director/Choreographer is there to assist the creative they work for on a number of things from getting coffee/lunch to writing down their bosses notes; working as a liaison between their boss and the others working on the production, etc. the Job duties can vary based on the project and the director/choreographer they work for. There job is usually done once the show opens.
An Associates job usually continues on past opening night. They will be
Maybe someone here will remember what article I’m talking about, but a few years ago I remember reading a piece where a group of industry people formulated a list of the greatest musicals ever written (on paper). I don’t remember where Gypsy landed on the list— I believe it was # 3, IIRC— with Guys and Dolls taking the #1 spot, Fiddler at # 2, and WSS was, I believe, #4 ( which was lower than many anticipated, but Laurent’s cheesy Jett dialogue knocked it do
MadsonMelo said: "No mentions for Butz? I thought he was going to be a favorite to win Featured Actor."
^ There were a few positive mentions about Butz in the reviews I read. Sara Holdren had some nice things to say about his performance, just not the gushing love letters she gave Ambrose and HPP. Speaking of, I’m really loving Holdren’s reviews for Vulture. A director and recent graduate of Yale School of Dra
Broadway Play Publishing— they don’t handle any musicals, but they have all of Tony Kushner’s plays, and I believe all of Neil LaBute’s as well; plus lots of Jose Rivera, Emily Mann, etc.

Lesser known/produced musicals I’m a fan of are: The Adding Machine, Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story, The Hatpin, Yeast Nation, Is There Life After High School, Bernarda Alba, See What I Wanna See, Marie Christine (So many LaChiusa, really...).
It should not be as expensive as some have said. Dramatists has the most affordable rights of any of the major rights holders. They will charge you a royalty fee based on number of performances, average ticket price, and number of seats in the venue and charge based on how much your potential gross is; Plus a refundable deposit for the libretto and band scores. Three performances in a 30 seat space would most likely be under 2,000. I’d guess closer to the 1,000-1,200 range (excluding de
