CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 02:21:57 AM

6.5 million, and even that estimate is probably gilding the lily.  It cost well over 100 million (and maybe considerably over that given all the continuing work and overtime) and you can add another fifty or seventy-five to that for advertising and stuff.  



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 20 2019, 03:55:29 AM

There are people who love the film of Rent, of Nine, of Les Miz - it happens with every movie musical - there's no accounting for it, really - but people LOVE what they LOVE.

Completely meaningless but good for clicks and shares and for gathering information about people.



WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 12 2019, 05:20:10 AM

Yup Cabaret is a snooze-fest that can't even compare to the stage version.

I also think WSS is a boring AF film, so I was glad to hear he was losing a good chunk of time from it.

I agree re the bl


WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 10 2019, 06:23:41 PM
Yes, lots of jumping to conclusions based on WHAT exactly? Has anyone connected to the production categorically stated that Mr. Robbins' choreography is being reinstated, because I have seen nothing that stated that. Do link me to something definitive, won't you?

Why do theaters sell twizzlers and other noisy snacks  Dec 8 2019, 04:01:24 AM

Because theater is now for children and doing everything it can to emulate the movie experience.  When I was growing up, food and drink was NEVER allowed in the auditorium.  Ever.  And so it should be now.



Johnny Depp to Produce New Michael Jackson Musical Told From His Glove's Point of View  Dec 4 2019, 07:48:59 PM

Well, of course, Mr. Depp has nothing to do with this and never did.  This reeks of amateurville - at some theater called the Carl Sagan Ann Druyan Theater downtown in what looks like Skid Row to my eye.  It's author clearly wrote his own Wikipedia page - read it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Nitzberg



SLEEPLESS (Sleepless In Seattle) Musical To Open In London In March  Nov 28 2019, 02:03:20 AM

This board in the old days  Nov 17 2019, 10:17:00 PM

I've been here from the start, I think.  Rob and Craig asked me to join the board pretty soon after the launch.  Broadway World was created by Rob - he took parts of the websites he really liked and did a combo platter of them - mine was one of the sites he borrowed from, as we had a rather lively discussion board, plus he liked that we had a Broadway Radio Show.  And yes, it was wild and wooly and yes, there were some really obnoxious posters in those days, some of whom ar

ThePlastics said: "wow, how the drama and stores can escalate based on speculation.

BWW only said to the conductor "i cant hear you" once - at the top of the show. There was an apparent sound issue because, as an audience member that night, i couldn't hear the music through the speakers either - it was directly from the orchestra pit. BWW's said that and we could clearly hear it in the mezzanine so, yes there was a sound issue.

That being said,

Here's what's reliable and consistent - automatically believing that PR stuff is true.  We'll see if this is real when they announce a start date.  Anyone can say anything, witness the six YEARS of Streisand/Gypsy PR BS.



Tootsie Is Closing  Nov 13 2019, 08:50:11 PM

So, we should now ban all the classic man in woman's clothing comedies?  Or not revive them anymore?  Not watch those films anymore?  It's complete BS and yes that American Theatre article is hauled out ad nauseum.  



Issues at Mean Girls last night  Nov 13 2019, 08:46:39 PM

Presuming any of this is beyond mere speculation: Adlibbing?  Unprofessional.  Do the damn show you were hired to do.  Walking through a performance?  Unprofessional.  Do the damn show you were hired to do.  Someone mentioned it was a sound/mic issue - what has that to do with a conductor?  And who exactly does this person think she is to behave like this?  And is someone actually suggesting on a Broadway stage in a musical that performers are now

Tammy Grimes in 42nd Street  Nov 12 2019, 07:48:19 PM

Tammy Grimes was unique.  But back then we had mostly unique stars who probably wouldn't get cast in today's rather silly world.  Mary Martin, Judy Holiday, and more - all unique.  With no disrespect to the many fine actresses who've played Dorothy Brock, and I've seen a lot of them, no one got the laughs that Grimes got - no one even came close.  It's one of the failings of people who restage - they simply are not good enough to understand the comedy.
