BWW: Ugh, Can we have an original musical that fits my personal taste with only people I personally approve of this season?!

Lauren Ward was...fine. I hope they’re able to get someone different for this revival. But really as long as they get literally anyone other than the girl who played Emmie in London, I’m fine with whatever they do. God, she was awful.

If we’re really going to do the Warren/Clarke comparisons, Warren is giving a fantastic performance in a pretty mediocre, not that great show whereas Clarke is fantastic in one of the best musicals ever written. I don’t see it as much of a contest, really.
Having seen this on the West End, Clarke is excellent. Very different than Tonya was but she made Caroline her own. My only issues with the show was some of the staging, so hopefully that will all be worked out here. I’m so excited to be able to walk down the street and see this whenever I want for a few months. :)
Are Playbills environmentally friendly? Aug 18

Sitting here with a stack of programs from the West End I got at shows this past week, I wouldn’t mind if broadway houses started doing that. They cost around £5 each there which would be about $6 or so here and are very nice collectibles. When I first started going over there, I’d buy a program for every show but now I’m much more selective. The only thing about them that I wish was different is that they’re all different sizes so it’s hard to organize them and keep them on a shelf together.

I really would love to see Raul Esparza do Che again.
And I know I’ve told this story before but when I saw “A Catered Affair” in 2008(?), I noticed something weird from the corner of my eye and looked over and saw the guy next to me was getting a hand job from the woman he was with.

Young Eva in the very beginning who will transform into Adult Eva.
I’m going to call it right here that Paul Hilton takes home the Supporting Actor Tony Award. His 20 (or so) minute monologue is one of the most exquisite things you’ll ever see on stage.

Ok, yeah sure. But she isn’t going to sell tickets and this production would need a name who can sell the show and there’s a ton of people closer to 35 that could actually do that.
