Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/22/19  Dec 23 2019, 05:00:13 PM

SomeOtherMe said: "On the other hand, they did just release a whole new block of tickets and I’d be surprised to see it not run at least until the Tonys.

Assuming they stay open until the Tony's, do we think that chances of them winning "Best Play" is high, though?
"

It'll likely be nominated, but the spring is bringing heavy hitters like Hangman, The Lehman Trilogy, and The Minutes. The Sound Inside was a critical darling,


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 04:54:56 PM

I don't recall her having lines. She's on the barge and she's in "Macavity," dusting the cats with the cat cocaine. 



For Colored Girls.... Firing Dorector  Dec 23 2019, 04:43:03 PM

Uh, do you have a published source for this, or for the intentions of a Broadway transfer?

 

This production was exceptional. 



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 03:23:31 PM

Griddlebone is in the film- she's the cat with the green beret that's part of Macavity's group. She's played by appropriately-named cabaret star Meow Meow (her stage name, at least). 



The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 23 2019, 03:19:40 PM

NativeNYer2- My apologies, but your post did make it seem as though you were the one espousing that worldview, not Lopez. 

Eric's Jewishness seemed to me to exist as nothing more than a handwaved explanation for how he has his rent controlled apartment. 



The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 23 2019, 12:19:41 PM

NativeNYer2 said: "I would argue that the fact that he is chosen to have such communications implies that he is a special human being among us, and perhaps lends legitimacy to his appreciation for great art, literature, and film. The ghosts are NOT speaking to the individuals wearing bikini briefs. They are speaking to the one character who isn't."

The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 23 2019, 08:42:12 AM
I know I’m in the minority, but I did not find the end of part one moving. I found it manipulative. It gains its power not from anything in the play itself but from the audience’s knowledge- and own memories of loss- of the AIDS crisis.

And the fact that Eric experiences what would be either a massive psychotic break or an incredibly transcendental moment of transformation for him and is barely changed at all is telling. In fact, he spends most of Part 2 preoccupied with the fact that


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 22 2019, 09:24:02 PM
They’ve said the runtime won’t be affected, which indicates this will just be cosmetic fixes. There are numerous, numerous moments where the CGI looks unfinished.

CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 22 2019, 10:09:49 AM
This was one of the most fun moviegoing experiences in my life.

The first twenty minutes, the audience was in amused bewilderment. But then came a point- perhaps it was seeing JHud on all fours crawling on the ground- that everyone just broke, and it became an interactive screening like Rocky Horror.

The movie is such a giant cluster****, devoid of good ideas and good taste, that it truly must be seen to be believed. Updated visual effects won’t fix it- though the visual effe


MEAN GIRLS To Welcome Social Media Star Cameron Dallas For Four Week Run  Dec 20 2019, 09:02:38 PM
It doesn’t matter if he has millions of IG followers, it matters whether those followers have the disposable income to travel to NYC and see the show. And I would wager the majority don’t.

Dave Malloy's Moby Dick at A.R.T.  Dec 19 2019, 11:33:15 AM
Saw this last night and thought it was pretty brilliant, unwieldiness and length and all. To paraphrase a line given to the show’s meta iteration of Ishmael, the warts are part of what makes it what it is.

Malloy’s score, dense and idiosyncratic and so clearly his, undoubtedly will yield more riches and layers the more it’s listened to, just as his other scores do.

Surprised that folks complain that the second half is slow- it is not only much shorter than the first half, but


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 18 2019, 11:22:38 AM

The film’s real test is whether audiences can accept the theatricality of the material in a more literal medium like film. That’s the question here, putting aside the well-worn arguments of the plot and everything else.

People are more willing to accept things (like people as singing and dancing cats) in theatre. But here it’s a more literal take, coupled with digital effects that are squarely in the uncanny valley.

The question isn’t whether audience


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/15/19  Dec 17 2019, 10:32:01 AM

Two part plays are a tough sell, period, and I don't think The Inheritance has successfully made a case for itself as an "event." 



An Interesting Article about The Inheritance  Dec 13 2019, 02:28:32 PM

MrsSallyAdams said: " The play is telling three stories this article focuses on the least interesting one."

...it's also unarguably the main story, and the one around which all others revolve.

hork said: "This article is dumb. The writer doesn’t seem to understand the power of oral storytelling at all."

Well, he compiled the oral history of Angels in America, The World Only Spins Forward, so he understands the power of oral storytelling at least a little. 

 



CATS to release highlights edition soundtrack on Dec. 13  Dec 13 2019, 12:16:18 PM

Ado Annie D'Ysquith said: "I'm have many questions. Isn't the piece sung-through? If there's only 59 minutes on this album, how much music are they not releasing on a CD? Has stuff been cut? And if they do release the full soundtrack, then why do this as well? Maybe a "Deluxe Edition" is in its future?"

The trailer certainly seemed to indicate a substantial addition of spoken dialogue. 

This track listing isn't substantia


The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 13 2019, 10:39:01 AM

The musical itself is hardly an example of gritty realism. From its set, which almost looked like a vintage postcard version of Washington Heights, to the story beats and shape of the plot, it operated in a heightened and idealized or romantic depiction of the neighborhood and community. 



West End CAROLINE OR CHANGE revival at Roundabout in 2020  Dec 12 2019, 02:13:40 PM

Levy is really the only thing here that doesn't work for me... it's very odd casting for this role, indeed. And although she's just 2-3 years younger than Veanne Cox was, she reads much younger to me. 



The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 12 2019, 01:00:44 PM

 Quiara Alegría Hudes is the sole credited screenwriter for this, so I'll trust adaptation decisions such as updated setting, etc.
