Considering this show is about modern high school, it’s no surprise that he didn’t enjoy it, since he’s pretty far removed from 1960s (?) high school, let alone 2019 high school

I don’t quite understand the vitriol for this show. I

Clearly Andrew is up to something. If he is making the film himself, his confirmation is all we need. We don't know anything about his private arrangements with Paramount, but

Dave28282 said: "Tom Hooper is a film director and showed he was completely clueless about this language on film. He did not understand anything about the given of sung thoughts and the essence of the non literal language.

So a bit of both worlds would be desired, but understanding the actual language and non literal approach is the most important thing. Otherwise the whole film is not necessary.

Rob Ashford does have this background, and I think it would be wei

I like that Rob Ashford is going to direct the Sunset Boulevard movie, because he has a theatre background, which gives me confidence he understands the artform and the language of the material and the non-literal essence.

We all know what happens if the director has no clue about the language of sung thoughts on film (Les Mis, Phantom), and makes it too literal, which this artform per definition

I don’t know who made that comment but I’m a 50 yr old Hispanic woman and I completely understand that comment. When I started going to the theater in my early 20s, there were many people who didn’t looklike me. I know for myself, cost was a huge factor and I c

The composer has been putting out bogus press releases for YEARS about this film.  All fake, all the time.  How many YEARS can you be taken in on this.  Is the composer the "confirmation" here?  Just as Streisand was the "confirmation" for Gypsy?  See a pattern?   No start date, no studio, a director that no one in his/her right mind would EVER let direct a huge budget film (well, I'd never let him direct anything).  As I said, let

CONFIRMED???  By some hack from the Daily Mail or whatever that is with no other confirmed attribution other than HIS?  Has everyone here lost their sanity?  Rob Ashford?  I mean, this is so ludicrous on every level it's just laughable or would be if everyone here wasn't taking it seriously.  Tell you what, folks - come back in October and if it hasn't happened admit you were had once again by a gossip columnist or a publicist, you know just like all those

Awwwwwww. This is why I like the new generation of shows. The Prom, Mean Girls, DEH, Hamilton, Heathers, Be More Chill..though I'm not a huge fan of all of them, they are bringing new blood into theatre. I personally get really sad looking around at a show and I'm basical

The bad news: Having seen B Peters, B Midler and D Murphy in the role --the show was socko. They all brought something unique, funny andthemselves to it.

Unfortunately, as good as an actor as Betty Buckley is, she sinks the show. She is just not right for the role. She has no comic chops. There is something very off

Kelli can't keep getting strong reviews just by showing up. Well, maybe she can if Ben Brantley writes the review.

I almost saw the Brian Stokes Mitchell - Marin Mazzie revival, but it fell through so I don't h

I certainly understandhow such behavior can affect another person'senjoyment of a show adversely.

My question, however, isthis:

Why does behavior of this sortby a fan at Be More Chil
