Is Katharine McPhee Elphaba in the "Wicked" movie?  Aug 2 2018, 09:35:52 PM

youwillbefound2 said: "My question is, how are they gonna do defying gravity? Are they gonna CGI Elphaba flying in the sky because that would look ridiculous."

More ridiculous than being raised up in a cherry picker upstage?



Emily Bautista to lead MISS SAIGON Nat'l Tour  Aug 1 2018, 09:44:01 PM
She was on for the role of Kim when I saw the show in New York. My husband was truly disappointed that we were not seeing Eva; however, Emily was truly outstanding in the role. She gave it her all, and delivered a great performance. I am happy that she has been given the opportunity to lead the touring cast.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Reactions Thread)  Jul 20 2018, 10:35:59 AM
It was cute. Everyone in the theater seemed to love it. There was applause, squealing, laughter, and tears heard throughout; as well as women singing along. I think everyone there had a good time.

Prerecorded audience applause played during show?!?!  Jul 16 2018, 10:43:54 AM
I know there has always been recorded applause at the end of the first act for the Il Muto curtain call, as it makes sense there; but to have it for the real curtain call would seem a bit ridiculous.

Legally Blonde tour 2019  Jul 10 2018, 11:07:05 AM
That LED scenic design looks awful! I hsve no problem with LED scenic design or projections as long as they are used appropriately to give the string. There is no need for constant animation, and certainly no need for flying emojis during any moment in this show.

National Tour Flops  Jun 26 2018, 10:42:19 AM
Doctor Do little closed after nine very slow weeks on the road. I think they gave it another shot a year later. I'm not sure how that run turned out.

heeeellllllll yeah  Jun 20 2018, 12:05:15 PM
While I would never choose to wear shorts to a theatre, I would have no problem wearing jeans with an appropriate button down shirt. This is a personal choice. With this in mind, there was a time when men would wear jackets and ties to baseball games. I don't think anyone would do that today, at least not those that sit outside; those that sit in executive boxes may still do so. The point is, times change; appropriate dress wear changes over time. If you are comfortable wearing shorts to the the

Les miserables school edition  Jun 16 2018, 11:35:18 PM
I find it to be very funny that so many are saying not to do anything, or are being so rude, when many of these same people would be calling for the heads of the director or producer if any other change was made that broke the licensing agreement.

If it's against the licensing agreement, and you know for certain that permission was not granted, then call MTI. MTI can choose to deal with it or not.

Wicked Movie Casting  Jun 11 2018, 04:52:53 PM

QueenAlice said: "The movie is not dead.

The movie has not begun casting.

Ariana Grande has not been cast as Elphaba, though I imagine she might screen test

The film has not yet started screen testing because it has not yet started casting.


"

It's not dead, but I'd wager it is certainly in Development Hell. A 2019 release date is still possible, but I am not sure that it is very likely at this point. Projects c


HAIR LIVE! To Air On NBC Spring 2019  May 25 2018, 10:38:10 AM
The nude scene isn't really necessary to the show. It wasn't added until very late in the gestation period of the original production. I like the idea of the nudity in the scene. I like the idea of the juxtaposition of the tribe liberating themselves from the confines of society while Claude ultimately chooses to align with society by not burning his draft card. While I find the moment powerful, I don't find it imperative.

Nudity aside, there is a lot more going on in the book and lyri

Kad said: "The fact that walking across the stage is the most the producers would tolerate should infuriate you. The fact that a moment of focus on two men parenting a child was considered out of bounds with atheatre's mission statement to be "family friendly"should infuriate you. Instead, you're bending over backwards while rolling over.

Why should that infuriate anybody? There are NO gay characters written into the show. What would you hav

SonofRobbieJ said: "'But the thing is that they already agreed to depict gay parents in a minimal way'

Sadness. Nothing but sadness for your willingness to minimize yourself and others. If I could go to therapy for you, I would.
"

How is this minimizing myself? Everyone agreed that gay parents would be seen on stage. There was a problem held by the producers about the focus of those characters. No one here has said that the character should

Kad said: "He was clearly objecting to the producer's MORAL BELIEF THAT DEPICTING GAY PARENTS ONSTAGE EVEN IN A MINIMAL WAY WAS WRONG.

To quote a show this theatre will never produce: UNDERLINE UNDERLINE UNDERLINE
"

But the thing is that they already agreed to depict gay parents in a minimal way, as seen here:

"In an effort to show genuine acceptance and welcome all, an initial compromise had been made upfront to in

The right, yes; but to what moral good? None.

In this case, the director had an obligation to the show,

No, Jimmy. It suggests that including two fathers holding a baby was somehow considered as a "compromise" by this producer. Interesting how they talk of "genuine acceptanc

newintown said: "
It's "intrinsically" right for a director to leave a production because theproducers [sic] are moral morons who are forcing her or himto do what he or she sees as an immoral act."

You are absolutely correct, assuming that director is Ayn Rand.



Pittsburgh community theater cancels BIG FISH over inclusion of gay characters  May 16 2018, 03:39:43 PM

newintown said: ""As for morals, maybe I am an altruist. I am willing to put my beliefs on hold for the good of something else, in this case, that would be the fate of the show at large."

I certainly wouldn't call that altruism, any more than I would call staying silent during the Holocaust was altruism for the good of theNazi state.

That is to say "no community theatre show is more important than questions of right

It was agreed that the gay couple would be on stage and would be seen. The problem seems to come from an extended focus. It seems that the focus is what made producers uncomfortable, not their prsence, which was already made welcome."

Again - theproducersare cancelling it; the director and actors are quitting because they have a significant moral disagreement with the homophobic producers.

I would hope that moral issues would alwaysbe more important than commercewithanyone. And I'm n
