Should BroadwayCon 2021 be virtual?  Dec 6 2020, 04:09:25 PM

hearthemsing22 said: "BroadwayBrat said: "I don't think so. The event should be canceled for 2021. I am not sure there will be much to celebrate by next January. Come back strong in 2022."

I agree 100%. I don't know how successful the Flea Market was, but I highly doubt this would see much success virtually. 2022 seems the best option.

the Flea was a hot mess and i don't know a single person who was actually happy with it

Billie Eilish in Spring Awakening?  Nov 21 2020, 12:56:26 AM

jbroadway4 said: "Been hearing the film adaptation of Spring Awakeningis starting production in March with Billie Eilish attached as Ilse. Is this true?"

This seems like a really strange stunt cast and I can't imagine it'll have the effect that they think it will. She is very talented, though.


Wicked Movie Seeks New Director  Nov 21 2020, 12:46:32 AM

VintageSnarker said: "BroadwayNYC2 said: "Great Gerwig would be quite interesting. Do I want it to happen? Unclear. Her approach tends to be quite literal"

I'm not sure if spectacle and camp is her style. Making Wicked a thoughtful, quiet musical would just expose how bad some of the lyrics are.

If the right Julie Taymor showed up, it could be interesting but I haven't seen her in years.

I think you need someone who treats t


Hamilton’s New Marquee  Nov 21 2020, 12:41:56 AM

Wick3 said: "I like the "Just You Wait" idea!

It'll be interesting to see if Broadway's Hamilton will still have the same demandit did before pandemic now that the OBC filmed version is on Disney+.
"

 

I don't know about other people, but the filmed version is what piqued my interest and sold me on it. Before that, I actually was not fond of the show at all. Now I will probably try to see it.

 


Disney Films That Would Make Awful Broadway Shows  Nov 21 2020, 12:31:42 AM

All of them. Any of them. Let the God awful Disney on Broadway days die. It's time.

Disney Films That Would Make Awful Broadway Shows  Nov 21 2020, 12:30:25 AM

CarlosAlberto said: ""I thought it was an unwritten rule on Broadway that every Disney film, especially the animated ones, had to be musicalized. I cringe at a Frozen musical & all the souvenirs & crazy crowds at the stage door."
Mr. Roxy, you obviously weren't subjected to the craziness of the IF/THEN stage door.

God, it was literally down the block, and that was towards the show's decline. I've literally neve


Broadway League To Announce Further Broadway Closure til May 30th  Oct 28 2020, 09:09:35 PM

I got to see her for the first time about four days before the shutdown. Lucky that my show wasn't later that week. Not only has she been non-stop, but she also had a rough time with it from the start. It'll break my heart to see her leave Broadway, but I'm happy she's taking autonomy over her life.

Future of Disney on Broadway  Oct 28 2020, 12:44:53 AM

I don't know how unpopular of an opinion this is, but I'd really like to never see Disney on Broadway ever again. Sure, the shows are entertaining and the production value is unbeatable, but I really feel like is such a leech to Broadway. I'd love to see new, innovative, and original shows get their chance to shine rather than Disney regurgitating their same franchises.

I wonder how that's going to work. I imagine they'd go by capacity? Theatres with a smaller number reopen first?

I wonder about the casts/crew/bands of shows too. I can't speak for any shows personally, but I will say that I follow HADESTOWN pretty heavily and almost everyone in the cast has said/implied

Me too!! She absolutely should not have apologized. Acknowledge that she should hire more black actors, of course! But I would say to post screenshots of the violating e-mails.

Same here. I do not get this apology at all, and I lost some respect for her as a person over this

I don't really think this qualifies as "passion". It is absurdly insulting on a number of levels, and with all of his delusion I honestly understand why Rachel Chavkin was afraid of him.
