Grinch portrayal to be bitter bitchy queen party of 1 because his hair, make up, and uh costume comes from community theater fire sale- no gravitas, no voice, no idea who this character is he is trying to portray and it’s slow and lazy and pick up the lines.

<edited by BWW staff>> sometimes we as humans age 14, 24, 44, and 84 can make stupid choices in life and thus find ourselves in a situation that isn't the best.  Does it make it right for an "alleged" predator to take advantage of the situation? No.  And, should that prevent someone to come forward? No.  But you see herein lies the real rub, he said, and then he said or doesn't even remember and there are no valid and substantiated witne

This reminds me of Lapine's "Annie" revival. He didn't like the musical and tried to re-write it and it did not work, so much so they scrapped the revival version and took the original on the road after the revival run.

It seems the same here.  Nothing wrong with revivals as long as directors love the musical that they choose to revive - revive, not rewrite.  Therefore, the simplest solution is to do your own new musical based on the same subject matter, wit

That west end production was about as bland and miscast as you can possibly aspire to. Boring and the singing was bland and boring. The best that can be said about the production was that the tap routines were neatly and cleanly executed.

How about just sing the song - it's beautiful enough as it is - it doesn't need a fussy arrangement.  She scoops and slides - a clear indication that the vocal technique is harder and harder to keep up and in shape. That is why she made the right decision to wind-down the opera career.  Best leave now before it becomes more than apparent that the voice cannot negotiate the genre.  However, the tone of the voice is still beautiful to say the least.  But if you quest

you could take the comment, "her - I mean them." as either, a self- correction because this is the first time according to the show, "a transgendered person stars in a leading role", or to the referencing "White Men," or to the fact that one character is "strangely attracted to her" that would be because of the middling of the characters sexual being.  Or, it could be as many of the offense brigade these days declares, that it was a off-the-cuff sn

it isn't foolishness and many, many performers have no say so in the design - it is laziness and inattentiveness and it is obvious when a critic feels compelled to comment upon it.  Just because a performer collaborates or says I want to look like  this or that, doesn't mean it's in the best interest of the character or the actor - get real.  It could be not wanting to be critical in a moment during the design process when it's easier to make the decision and ge

Okay so the NYT hired or assigned a writer that isn't necessarily sensitive or tactful. Yes the wonderful performer is large - as if that needed to be pointed out unless you are blind, in which case, after reading the review, even the blind now know this fact.  It doesn't need to be pointed out, she knows she is large, and so does the audience.  What does need to be pointed out is that the costume designer is untalented and unskilled at adapting styles to fit every body type

Just because it's name has been "officially" changed, doesn't mean it has been changed.  It will ALWAYS be the gypsy robe and there is not a blasted thing anyone can do about it.  The Legacy Robe will always be mentioned in the future with a (subset title, Gypsy Robe) long after all you have self-congratulated yourselves on this small, picayune, obnoxious, and sanctimonious exercise.  If you really want a challenge, try getting the "N-word&

March 15, 1956, at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York City. It transferred to the Broadhurst Theatre and then The Broadway Theatre, where it closed on September 29, 1962, after 2,717 performances, 

It comes down to a couple of criteria when casting an extensive musical like MFL. Cast someone who can do it, it you cannot take the role on and do it for the full 8 shows don't do it, you aren't meant for musical theater you don't have the talent. Andrews did it and in the original key and, WITHOUT MICROPHONES for every blasted performance - didn't miss one.  The use of microphones changed without a doubt the degree of talent that would be acceptable in theatre from that

Why would it be awkward to call out someone who is contracted to do a job and they failed to deliver?  Like, I mean, Like Oh My God, Like, I mean, wow, Like OMG that is wonderful, like, OMG.  Boring, illiterate and obnoxious and is clearly, look at the broadcast tape, ill-equipped to do this type of spot for a live television production.  

NPH is absolutely guilty of a passive aggressive moment, or a less-than-direct slap, if you will, but he summation was correct,

I am happy that this has spurred the discussion, and that is my last thought on the subject  from the desk that, according to some, issues pathetic and disgusting opinions. A statement that doesn't achieve anything except make the source feel better and vindicated, but not necessarily valid or correct.
