What happened to her? She was so talented! Her last credit was for ROCKY HORROR SHOW (2001). And she was in the original RENT?! I wonder if she's teaching or directing now like Freddi Walker but I can't seem to find her!
Please tell me for the love of god that they are not setting this in present day. That would literally defeat the entire purpose. The 70's are as much of a character as any of the rest of them.

I 100% agree. The book has specifically modern lingo at a few points but I really wish they'd give permission to put it back in the 70's. I just think overall, it feels right to keep it in the original era when it was written--it just works better what with Carrie not knowing her period, bullying IRL as opposed to online--it just feels like, pun intended, like it'll always be a period piece. But th
It was so cringey, but also some of them aren't terrible singers but so insanely autotuned. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous esp. cutting Margaret's songs, but enjoyable in a it's-so-bad-it's-good-way. I don't hate the revival, but there are certainly plenty of things to hate about it. I really enjoyed it live and having directed the revival version myself and a huge fan of the original I couldn't help think about one of my favorite underraged productions wi
Just saw a mind blowing, awesome college production of Cabaret and it made me think about this. Is it true that Hal Prince cast Jill Haworth because she was not a strong singer? She sounds pitchy to me and I can only determine that's because it was intentional.
I guess I'm really split on it. In theory I'm not against Sally being played by a "bad singer", but it's hard, because I believe that the songs help tell the story in this case and it seems wrong to me
This is so beyond not ok. The casting directors and managers behind this are real dumbasses. Siera can have her pick of the litter on almost any MT role. It's called doing the god damn ethical thing, there is more than enough theatrical real estate for Siera to choose from, also I'm sorry, she's Ariel in The Little Mermaid. She's Christine in Phantom. She's like a Disney princess who excels well in substanceless lily-white roles. Also, like Karen Olivio? Or like anyon
I doubt that we'll get it anytime soon with Be More Chill coming Off-Broadway. But, hopefully after that. I'm kicking myself for missing it the first time.
Take it from someone whose been in your shoes - take a few days, write a b**chin' letter to Rosie. Sign up for a free IMDB pro account. Find her agent. Call and confirm the email on file is confirmed. Send your email, and wait. Follow up, do more waiting. Do this for six months to a year, and it will either go somewhere or it won't.
Don't ask me how I know this, but I know firsthand that Beetlejuice doesn't work on stage. It just wasn't meant for it. Love Timbers, but this is a flop waiting to happen, as badly as I want it to work.
This was truly dreadful. I'm sorry, but what a mess! I'm confused how this even got this far. It's trying to be way too many things. The cast is top notch, and tonight Ben Moss went on for Frankhauser on book and did a great job. The audience was really sympathetic because many, like myself, were industry or press comps. That being said these actors are doing the absolute best they can with a total turd. I cannot wait for this whole trend of pop-riff musicals dealing with high sch
I'm curious to see what the changes made are. If it's making Laura the leading lady, that's a poor decision, because she's definitely one of the least interesting characters. Also I've actually never seen the Broadway production in full, does anyone have a way I can see it?
Has anyone seen this yet? Am dying to hear how it is!! In the meantime I've just been listening to when If It Even
