RAGTIME Reunion Concert Happening This April  Dec 19 2019, 11:31:30 AM

Donna Murphy did play Motherin the original workshop of RAGTIME, so I doubt she'd do this. She's also not a soprano anymore. (

I know she might be a little old for the part, but I would love to see Donna Murphy as Mother... plus it would be a little tribute to Marin as they starred in "Passion" together.



Frozen Casting?  Dec 12 2019, 03:10:22 PM

Totally agree on Christy Altomare - that's brilliant casting.

To keep it in the Carrie revival vein, how about Jeanna de Waal as Elsa? 



Frozen 2  Dec 2 2019, 05:31:44 PM

I thought it was terrific.  I was surprised by the plot, actually.  I thought they could have really done something rote or dumbed-down as many sequels do, but what they came up with was quite ambitious and forward-thinking.  Furthermore, the animation was absolutely gorgeous.  Even if you didn't like the plot, I can't see how anyone could nitpick about how the film looks - it was beautiful.  And overall, I thought the songs were at least up to the same l

Favorite Flop?  Nov 22 2019, 11:35:09 AM

GHOST the Musical

I didn't see it on Broadway, but I fell in love with the music, and they did a Regional production here that was really well done. I would have loved to have seen Caissie Levy sing those songs live...



Broadway stars singing with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir... why is this still accepted!  Nov 14 2019, 04:15:04 PM

Fredrich Yeager said: 

"Mormon beliefs about LGBT+ people are also not that conservative compared to manychurches. They preach that homosexuality is not a choice, they let LGBT people attend services, and in 2003 and 2015 they publicly supported an anti-LGBT discrimination bill in Utah. For reference, the Southern Baptist Church, which is the largest protestant religionin the US and has more than 16 million followers, has done none of these things. This isn't to s


Frozen 2 - first listen of "Into the Unknown"  Sep 30 2019, 03:44:49 PM

This apparently is the first released snippet of the big Elsa anthem for the new film.  While not as instantly earworm catchy as Let it Go (which is not necessarily a bad thing...) I like what I'm hearing thusfar and Idina sounds sensational singing it...



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/11/19  Aug 12 2019, 04:09:57 PM

this whole "Tootsie vs Beetlejuice" thing is getting a bit ridiculous.  The way this message board seems to be going lately, you would think that the producers of each show have it out for each other or something. Can they both succeed or fail on their own terms and not as dueling shows being pitted against each other?  Yes they are both musicals based on movies, and yes they both debuted during the same spring season - but outside of that is there something tying these tw

I had no idea this all happened.... Pretty interesting read.

Unsee Me  Nov 21 2018, 12:03:13 PM

The Goodbye Girl - and I was a HUGE Martin Short fan (although he was by far the best part).  It was a colossal bore, and it felt like BP wanted to be anywhere but there...

 

Cats - so many people have told me that I just didn't "get it"...?



re: GREAT songs from FLOP musicals?  Oct 31 2018, 06:10:44 PM

"With You" - Ghost

"Seeing You" - Groundhog Day

"Before and After You/One Second and a Million Miles" - Bridges of Madison County

All excellent songs from shows that deserved to be around longer...

re: Best Musical Theatre Song of All-Time (Pick ONLY One)  Oct 31 2018, 10:48:59 AM

Picking one is way too hard... but right now it would be neck and neck between:

Being Alive - Company

Wheels of a Dream - Ragtime



13 Going On 30 - status?  Sep 18 2018, 03:29:51 PM

fashionguru_23 said: "They played 13 Going on 30 on Sirius XM?! What?!"

I've heard at least two songs in the past few weeks.  I can't recall the names of the songs, but they were quite good. Enough for me to be intrigued on the status of the musical...

 



13 Going On 30 - status?  Sep 18 2018, 02:54:32 PM

I've stumbled onto a few songs from 13 Going On 30 when listening to the SiriusXM Broadway station... and the songs were better than I expected.  I remember hearing news about 2 years ago that this was headed to Broadway, but haven't heard anything since.  Does anyone have any further info on the status of this musical?  Did they do a workshop or reading that didn't translate into anything else, or is it still being considered?
