Gary: A Sequel To Titus Andronicus Previews  Mar 11 2019, 11:32:45 AM

With that cast (Kristine now) one of the more promising plays of the season. (Crime scene cleaners) On my must see list for sure.



Hillary and Clinton reviews?  Mar 10 2019, 12:23:21 PM

So this play is based on the premise that the universe is endless which allows for every possible variable and Hillary and Clinton on planet X in 2008  was what was chosen for Broadway. Uh huh.  In which case given my choice I would rather see the stage version of Howard The Duck which had the same premise.



Gary: A Sequel To Titus Andronicus Previews  Mar 9 2019, 03:38:28 PM

No one better than BilI Irwin for movement choreography. But the trailer cited seems more about flash cuts, editing, and FX.



CENTER THEATER GROUP - Worst Season Ever?  Mar 4 2019, 10:33:24 PM

One person shows arn't really plays to begin with. So scheduling two of them in a theater as large as the Ahmanson is a pretty nasty trick that is being played on their subscribers.



West End Weekly Grosses site?  Mar 1 2019, 07:16:37 PM

Publishing weekly grosses provides transparency for the shows investors. I never understood how West End could get away with not providing that information in a public forum where they could be checked and counter-checked.



Any screenwriters out there? (Stage to screen adaptation)  Feb 15 2019, 04:25:40 PM

The plays most desirable to be adapted for the screen are the ones with strong, original stories, not dozens of 5 minute scenes.



Joe Allen Question  Feb 14 2019, 06:09:48 PM

Just for the record the coolest and most exclusive restaurants are the ones never never never listed here or anywhere. That's why they're exclusive.



RENT Live on Fox  Jan 29 2019, 01:53:09 PM

Only vaguely aware of what happened here (Not a Rent fan) but after months of promoting Carrie Underwood for Sound Of Music I woudn't have seen them having an understudy for her. I would instead expect the director of the next Live musical to exhort to the cast during the previous days dress to give it everything you've got because tomorrow you could all be dead! (Tough director)



Actor who has yet to perform on Broadway who you would pay to see?  Jan 23 2019, 01:07:02 PM

On Charlie Rose Harrison Ford was asked if he would ever consider doing Broadway if the right script came along. Harrison didn't say anything, but the look he gave Charlie could best be described as "Are you out of your mind?"



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/13/19  Jan 18 2019, 04:33:57 PM

I'd enjoy seeing the giant Kong puppet in any exhibit, but after 5 minutes I'd want to keep walking.



Sunset boulevard movie 2020  Jan 8 2019, 02:24:00 PM

One of the great lines from Sunset Blvd. goes something like this: "Norma, you're a woman of 50. There's nothing tragic about being 50. Unless you try to act 25.".



MEH-ry Poppins  Jan 7 2019, 02:50:38 PM

In the original Julie Andrews was magic, the music had melodies and the story was an original. I saw all three missing with this version, so I gave it a miss, too.



Write  Jan 3 2019, 12:15:26 AM

Why would people savvy enough to be on this board want to attend a production that was clearly going to be torture for them? I had the opportunity to see The Last Ship before it opened, but passed on it because the premise seemed nonsensical and even if the shipbuilders managed to sail away on the ship they built in secret (huh?) where would they sail to? Never Never Land? Better to just get a discount airline ticket.



Mary Poppins Returns - Crowding Lyrics, Weary Watchers  Dec 22 2018, 12:16:37 AM

I'll stop at Saving Mr. Banks. It was an original take on the original film, had some clips from it, too and of course had Emma Thompson.



Security at the Public Theater  Dec 21 2018, 04:43:32 PM

I'm fairly certain that almost all theater fires are caused by something on stage.



Camila Cabello to play Maria in Speilberg's WSS?  Dec 17 2018, 08:55:14 PM

Ms. Cabello is an unknown to me. But the best reason Natalie Wood was cast in the '62 version was because had anyone I'd ever known met her at a gym dance 5 minutes later he would be on the street singing 'Maria', too.



Where is everyone?  Dec 10 2018, 05:23:39 PM

A suggested song title in a maybe very good musical about the digital age: DEAR MODERATOR. After that, it almost writes itself.



Faye Dunaway returning to Broadway this summer  Dec 6 2018, 03:40:21 PM

As best as I can recall the only major Hollywood actor who recently took on Broadway who wasn't roasted by the critics was Tom Hanks in Nora Ephron's Lucky Guy. This play will be even more demanding. Good luck to Faye, always a superior actress, and let's hope she has a great director.



CLUELESS THE MUSICAL  Dec 4 2018, 07:46:41 PM

I'm clueless about Clueless (Once through High School was enough) but many times to get a play on it's more important who you know than what you've got.



Do you think a Bye Bye Bride revival set in the modern age would work?  Nov 26 2018, 06:30:03 AM

Not adaptable. Probably best to just do it as a retro goof like How To Succeed with Daniel Radcliffe a few years ago.
