WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!...Lenk is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CHOICE for a role that is written for a very New York City man/woman!!...i know you all loved Katrina's work in The Bands Visit, but honestly is she right for this role?...NO NO NO...please stop these rumors and pure speculation...let's just wait and see who is REALLY going to play Bobbie...Lenk as Bobbie would not get me to fl
i am just waking up to this sad news...R.I.P. MR. PRINCE...the memories you gave me with all the shows i saw that you were involved with are too many to list here...others here have done a great service by listing them all...you sir where Broadway!!
ok I'm going to post this theory...what if the whole movie is a real cats catnip infused dream?...that way nothing makes sense and all is possible on screen...
let's just say the cat is watching a movie musical with its' owner and for some reason has too much catnip and falls asleep to dream what we end up seeing as the movie...
just a crazy idea to make everything we see on screen work!
Tom Hooper's CATS trailer has us all talking...which is the point of a trailer anyway isn't it?...when the movie comes out all our questions should and will be answered...now 7 million views on Youtube!

The trailer was released on Thursday, and people have been posting about it since then."
and so far YOUTUBE has recorded OVER 5 million views of this trailer...so i would say interest is very high...we shall see in December if this translates to box-office $$$
why does almost everyone on here who posts hate so much?...IT'S ONLY A TRAILER!!...let's all wait for the final film to be shown and then we can hate or not...speaking of trailers...the trailer for the BENJAMIN BUTTON movie with Brad Pitt, a few years ago looked to me like the greatest movie ever made...then i saw the movie...HATED IT...a friend of mine called that movie BENJAMIN BUTTHOLE...my point being trailers are not the whole movie...
Well i DID see the original Broadway production in 1982 and i hated it....but this trailer looks fabulous as a movie and i will be first in line when it comes out later this year!...as much as Tom Hooper was vilified for LES MIZ, but won an Oscar for The Kings Speech, the man clearly has a vision when he makes a movie and i will wait until i see this upcoming event film to pass any judgement.

the night i saw this production in London, Johnathan Bailey stopped the show with one of the longest ovations that night!...he must be brought over as well as Patti...i was not a big fan of R. Craig, but she was just starting out in her Company journey...with that said i would love Ann Hathaway in that role!!
i know that...what i meant was HADESTOWN won all those Tonys much like THE BAND'S VISIT did last year, and i really did not like THE BAND'S VISIT...different shows but i do not want to be so disappointed like i was last year in seeing a Best Musical
I'm coming to New York in 2 weeks to see Roadshow at the City Center, but i have a Wednesday before then to see 2 shows...I'm thinking BEETLEJUICE cause i like what i saw on the TONYS, and also TOOTSIE because i am such a fan of the movie, and it seems like it would be a lot fun...I do not want to see this current revival of OKLAHOMA, and HADESTOWN sort of scares me off, much like i felt about THE BANDS VISIT last year...
The original 1973 Broadway production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, to me is an example of the most perfect production i have ever seen...sets costumes dancing and actors, plus the most sublime score and book makes this the most of Sondheim's musicals, perfect!!
I too saw this amazing production in London, and yes even though i was thoroughly enraptured with all gender changes made, i saw it the very first week it started its limited engagement and thought a couple of the numbers didn't work...for various reason including the cast, which i thought in some places, were not strong enough actors...but in talking to others who saw this production later in its run, it seems they worked out a lot of those kinks...IMHO Johnny Bailey
I got my ticket to see ROADSHOW and i am making a short trip to NYC in July...i love the score and have always wanted to see any production of this over-looked Sondheim musical...plus the casting sounds great to me...and i totally agree about "The Best Thing To Ever has Happen"...great love song and i believe Sondheim's one and only gay love song...

i agree on CLAYBOURNE ELDER...his version of "Finishing The Hat", from SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM at the Hollywood Bowl, helped me fully love that song from Sunday In The Park...

People people, calm down here...you must remember the Bowl seats 18,000 people so there is no chance any aged features of our stars will show to 3/4 of that audience...it's the voices they went for and i for one CANNOT WAIT!!
