Anyone think Cher will be at the last Cher Show on Sunday? Aug 18

I too will be curious if more is said later down the road. Cher was very vocal and I wonder if she had a say in pulling the plug. I also wonder if the show will be revised again before touring.
Personally, I think she took a dump on the better Chicago version. She wanted more theme park elements. She’s a child of Vegas and Variety shows. I saw it in Chicago the day some of her changes were starting to be implemented. (There were differences between the matinee and evening show.) An ens

I honestly don’t think she will be there. If she were, I don’t know if she would go on stage and pull focus from the cast. A few cast members posted gifts and cards she gave them for closing, which leads me to believe she’s not coming. If she is there, I wonder if she would just hang backstage.
I also don’t think she really likes the show. I think she loves the cast to the heavens, loves their work and has befriended some. However I think she realized far to late in the process that tr

He sticks his tongue out a lot, cocks his face and acts like a teen. It's like some teen influencer's account, not a Broadway choreographer. I lost interest quickly.

As people continue to throw out names for recasting isn’t the elephant in the room that Lombardo’s rewritten play is a steaming turd? It’s referred to as “well received.” I wouldn’t say that at all based on the reviews. Didn’t most say it was slight and basic with no compelling arc? I don’t see any kind of name wanting to associate with this.
Color me shocked. NOT! I dont know what anyone was thinking with casting her.
Do theaters hold back on certain seats? Jul 21

I think Slave Play is expected to be a hot ticket, so I imagine lots of seats will be held for celebs and such.

I love Patti and her talent but the woman can be really rude and mean at times. I’d still pay top dollar to see her but she doesn’t really know when to shut up. She’s also not a comedian or a drag queen so she usually misses the mark imho. She thinks she funnier than she actually is. I don’t understand why she expects compassion when she herself is terrible at times. She’s completely unaware of the hypocrisy.
"Jennifer Hudson did a serviceable job in Dreamgirls. The editor did an amazing job."
^^^^THIS!!!!
The editor and Condon should have gotten the Oscar for walking her through that performance.
Have you seen her proficient in any other film? No. She was a flat mess in the SATC film. Took the air out of any scene she was in. Then there are her numerous projects like the Winnie Mandela movie that never even see the light of day because she is so bad.&
I am very happy Harris is getting the attention and enjoying a high profile. He's a whip smart playwright in the social media age. He works social media and is creating himself a brand. He knows how to sell himself. Old people will want to be connected to his energy-it will make them feel "hip." Celebrities want to be attached to him as well. How he manages his work over social media demonstrates how the playing field for creatives is changing.
Well the final shows are sold just as poorly, maybe a third of the orchestra if that. Sounds like this is DOA unless producers have money to burn. Clearly there is no interest in this property or its faded star. Lombardo is onto his next project with Beth Leavel and has left Boston. Seems like he's done too.

VernonGersch said: "Anyone receive word on WHY they cancelled last night's performance and are the remaining 4 Performances still on?"
No idea, but I wonder if sales have to do with it? The last four shows, the mezzanine isn't on sale and the orchestra is 1/3 sold, 1/2 sold on the better days. That's pretty embarrassing.

I'm watching the Michelle Carter doc on HBO. She's the girl who convinced the boy via text to end his life and was convicted. In seeing and hearing her back story, much of if plays like Dear Evan Hansen. It has influenced how I feel about the show and makes me more uncomfortable with it. With DEH flopping in Toronto, I wonder if more people are feeling an ick factor about the show that the original leads help conceal.Â
