Ivo Van Hove to direct stage adaptation of The Shining  Aug 22 2019, 10:19:30 PM
As noted King originally conceived it as a play, and it has been adapted into a well-received opera, so I’m sure Van Hove could do something interesting with it.

BJR said: "The ushers would stand in the aisles just before Dolly's entrance to the Harmonia Gardens, too. Each time I saw it, I think I saw someone try to take a picture and them come running over with the flashlight. They were serious not to have that moment filmed."

For a moment I thought you were implying she came down the stairs naked.

Hammerstein grandson on Oklahoma!  Jul 15 2019, 04:03:05 PM

I love the change. The phrase "the cruelty is the point" has been floating around for a while now regarding the current American situation and I find it's applicable here - it's not an accident, or some invisible hand of the market wiping him out, it's a conscious force. Americans did what they did to get what we have, and the new ending highlights that in a thrilling manner.

If you don't like it, wait for the next Oklahoma! revival. A show is not obliter


Has anyone tried a YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU musical?  Jul 12 2019, 03:54:34 PM

The “full disclosure” scene in Addams Family basically straight out of the play.

Also, I’d be curious to see someone do this to Long Christmas Dinner. I know there’s a short opera version but it seems ripe for musical theater.



Denise Nickerson Has Died  Jul 11 2019, 10:29:09 AM
It’s funny that two of my newfound flop loves this year - Lolita and Smile - both had some connection to her (she was in the film Smile was based on). Was sad to hear this news. One of the liveliest presences in the Wonka film, for sure - in a movie full of smart casting, she always stood out to me.

The reason why MACK AND MABEL doesn't work and never will work is because the book is terrible-- absolutely slapdash and amateurish. It's amazing that Jerry Herman got such a colorful, characterful score out of it. I think his songs for Mabel are among the finest of his career, and unlike Mr. Viertel, I think "Movie

Mack and mabel  Jul 9 2019, 10:09:21 PM
HSH’s book is kind of fascinating for the degree to which it assumes you’ve already seen the movie.

Mack and mabel  Jul 9 2019, 09:34:42 PM
Haha yes, one of the first thing Mack says is something about how they just make movies for money now, and then thirty seconds into his first song he’s like “who cares about art, we were just trying to make a buck!”.

Mack and mabel  Jul 9 2019, 09:15:12 PM
Because the book sorta sucks. Great tunes, but you’re never given much of a reason to pay attention to either of these increasingly crabby people as they swirl the drain. I like the concept but it really needs a firecracker rewrite to truly sell the disparity between the jubilant score and the agony of the plot.

Teaser trailer for Judy w/Renee Zellweger  Jul 9 2019, 10:24:39 AM

I can't wait for this! I remember when I was eleven I talked my parents into bringing the little TV from the den into my bedroom so I could stay up late and watch the Judy Davis telefilm, which I found thoroughly engrossing.

Agreed that I would rather she do her own singing - it's preferable to have a fully-formed character created via acting instinct than a Disneyland animatronic.



Merrily We Roll Along OBC Clips (Audio/Video)  Jul 6 2019, 07:04:46 PM

It's very interesting, and kind of a shame they almost entirely scrapped it - all that was left, basically, were the risers, the stairs, and the billboard platform.

I do think there's a workable concept, and it kind of functions, but you'd have to really change a couple of key things. I said the same in another thread recently, but they were a little bit hamstrung by the use of Gussie in the original play, which only became more of an issue in the late-80s revisions. There


Merrily We Roll Along OBC Clips (Audio/Video)  Jul 5 2019, 04:08:19 PM

Funny seeing my posts here from what feels like a lifetime ago. For anyone curious, here's a full recording of the second preview, which is nearly identical to a working draft script from earlier in 1981 (so early Franklin Shepard Inc was still a dialogue scene!):

The photos come from the Martha Swope archive, which can be viewed on their own here:

I found the Martha Swope page for the Broadway production, and it has 40 color photos! Here's a link. Very colorful.



 Jul 5 2019, 11:58:35 AM

I haven't, and I'm very curious to! I kind of assumed the dialogue took over in act two, but it does feel like there needs to be something a little spiky before the finale (perhaps this is accomplished via contrast between book scene and song). One thing I love is how many of the songs are high-energy - too much of a good thing can be killer, but it really works here and all the vamps are fun.
