What should the next Encores! musical be?  May 4 2018, 02:11:41 AM

Smile is an obvious choice. That would be fantastic.

Kiss Of The Spiderwoman, The Scottsboro Boys, Urinetown, It's A Bird It's A Plane, The Grass Harp are the ones I'd love to see the most.

In my dreams, Lolita My Love. But that will never happen.



Aiko Nakasone  May 3 2018, 12:54:57 AM

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!



ANNIE at the Hollywood Bowl  Apr 27 2018, 09:29:18 PM

I want to start an Indiegogo to buy the rights to ANNIE so that I can buy them and stop it from being performed ever again.



A very detailed discourse on THE BOYS IN THE BAND  Apr 27 2018, 09:24:59 PM

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.



CARRIE on RIVERDALE (4/18)  Apr 23 2018, 04:16:06 PM

Evsever said: "The 1970s costumes were a nice touch."

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


CARRIE on RIVERDALE (4/18)  Apr 22 2018, 11:58:14 PM

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

Sally Bowles Portrayals  Apr 22 2018, 11:34:44 PM

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


Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London  Apr 20 2018, 12:57:30 AM

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

Annie Golden, Broadway Bounty Hunter  Apr 16 2018, 12:05:30 AM

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.



Heathers to the West End  Apr 13 2018, 12:28:16 AM

Where did it say they were replacing songs?

I think what really needs to be changed is the ending. The devil horns on the poser looks very tacky.



Rights to Taboo... the boy George Musical  Mar 28 2018, 10:20:18 PM

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.



Are Jennifer Coolidge and Luba Mason the same person?  Mar 28 2018, 10:18:11 PM

I'm crying lolololol this is so true. Maybe Sideshow?



If you could revive any Broadway flop?  Mar 28 2018, 10:17:23 PM

As I'm listening to my b**tleg recording of American Psycho right now I am inclined to agree. Good thing the rights are coming out any day now.



Beetlejuice the Musical  Mar 28 2018, 10:16:11 PM

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.



Jonathan Groff in THE BOBBY DARIN STORY at 92Y  Jan 20 2018, 01:23:30 AM

I keep getting Bobby Darren confused with Bobby Driscoll and I think Driscoll's story would make a fascinating musical.



Sondheim status?  Jan 11 2018, 07:16:24 PM

I too would really love to know about this..



A Very Merry Unauthorized Childrens Scientology Pageant @ 54 Below  Dec 24 2017, 01:28:46 AM

I've been seeing a few ads for this on the sidebar. Did anyone see the original? It was so good--looking forward to this one

 



The Mad Ones (previously  Nov 21 2017, 11:03:36 PM

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

The Woman in White London Revival  Nov 15 2017, 12:42:12 AM

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


First Mainstream LGBT Musicals  Nov 15 2017, 12:38:48 AM

I finally bit the bullet at bought a record of the musical The Faggot (1973). Very excited to hear this.
