Jessica Lange is one of my all-time favorite actresses. She has said in interviews that she is by no means a singer. I don't think that she would waste her time in musicals where she would overuse or potentially ruin her voice. She could be a decent Madame Morrible in "Wicked", but really any other musical would be a waste. She could potentially play Madame Thernardier in "Les Miserables"...
I would like to know why Queen Latifah is always to the go-to person for every television musical since "Chicago", "Hairspray" and now this...her performance was fine, but not anything out of the ordinary. The whole show was just meh...
Jessica would definitely be able to bring the dramatic intensity to Mama Rose, but she would never be able to sing that score. Is it too early to think about another revival of "A Little Night Music"?...
I have been a HUGE fan of Julie Andrews ever since I was a small child, listening to "The Sound of Music" soundtrack when I was at my aunt's house every weekend. When I finally got to see the film in 70s when it was re-released, I became hooked by how amazing she was. I loved the film version of "Victor, Victoria" and was thrilled beyond belief when they announced that they would do the pre-Broadway engagement of the musical in Chicago. I had balcony
Now that Billy Poster is only an Oscar away from becoming an EGOT, does anybody think that he could win an Oscar from playing either the lead or Sportin' Life in a film remake of "Porgy and Bess". I know that sad story about the making of the original film with Dorothy Dandridge and Sidney Poitier, but there are a lot of African-American actors and actresses that could make this remake amazing!...
Miss Ellie, For your information, I have tried to find information about the show, even going to the website which tells you absolutely nothing about it...I feel that I am a very educated person when it comes to theatre, unfortunately there are times when I am stumped and doing research about proves useless...
I don't know if this has anything to do with "Best Scene Changes", but I remember when I saw the original tour of "La Cage Aux Folles" in Cincinnati, there was tremendous applause for almost all of the scene changes, especially the one toward the end for the "Chez Jacqueline" scene where "The Best of Times" is sung...the only other time was when the late Keene Curtis sang, "I Am What I Am"...
I am very curious about the new show, "Freestyle Love Supreme". Today on Facebook they claim that it is a hip-hop improv comedy show, will it also include Freestyle music performers? Has anyone seen it yet?...
Would have loved to have seen her again. The last concert, "MUSIC/MEMORIES" had too many songs from the album, no guest stars and I was hoping for more of her hits. I have always wanted to see her since "A Star Is Born" came out and she didn't disappoint!
Seems very strange that MSG said that the concert would only be 90 minutes long. When I saw her perform on the last tour, it was two acts and had an intermission. I agree that StubHub has a good deal on tickets!
Forgive me for being very behind in this conversaton, but just finished watching the "NOWADAYS" episode and was wondering if Bob did indeed contact the media about Liza stepping in for Gwen when she had her surgery. This show has changed my opinion of him, and not for the better. I had no idea that he was that conniving and duplicitous. This episode has been my favorite so far. I know that it is very hard to create a show about a famous person when everyone k
I also heard that next year's Tony Awards have been canceled and that U-Haul truck filled with Tonys was delivered to Ms. Dunaway's condo as a "thank you" for bringing audiences back to Broadway!...
So now we wait with baited breath to see if there is any possibility of a very wealthy Patron of the Arts to donate money to allow everyone to witness the theatrical event of the year?...
Not that I am comparing the two, but in the early 1980s I worked on a pay TV comedy special featuring 70s superstar comedian Robert Klein. The whole time that I worked with him he was trying to be funny (but not succeeding), and not much of a team player. Right before we were getting ready to record the show, the director told me to ask him what stage preparations he needed. I opened to door to his dressing room to find in bikini briefs and inhaling what I could see to be so
Going back the Oscar ceremony from two years ago, there was sooo much buzz and hoopla about Dunaway and Beatty being reunited to present Best Picture, only to be overshadowed by mistakenly having the wrong envelope and reciting the wrong winner. I am not sure if she feels that she has to prove something by returning to the stage, but I remember how awkward she seemed on New Year's Eve with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, especially with him fawning over her like a schoolgirl...
He was just recently in Netflix's "Tales of the City" and was sooo unrecognizable that I didn't know that it was him until I looked at the entire cast on IMDB...
When I think of Katherine Hepburn, the LAST person that I would think to portray Katherine Hepburn would be Faye Dunaway. When "Master Class" was touring and it stopped in Chicago, she asked an assistant one evening to get a steak dinner for her to eat after her performance that night. He complied and got the best steak dinner available from a restaurant Downtown. She got into her dressing room, took one bite and threw the rest at the assistant claiming that it was
