Funny Girl Broadway Revival? Lady gaga?  Oct 23 2018, 12:10:37 PM

Mayer? Yes, please. Rosie? Yes, please. Gaga? Fingers crossed. (And I am NOT a Gaga fan, but even I think it's a great idea.)

I bet it's being talked about, but without Gaga, I doubt the money materializes.



Chorus Line @ NY City Center  Oct 19 2018, 08:41:24 AM

Sondheimite said: "Also, if I may...

my biggest issue with trying to re-create a dead director/choreographers work is that it can never be more than an exercise of going through the motions.

People like Bennett, Fosse, and Robbins were able to explain to their performers the motivations behind the actions. They were able to tell their performers WHY and what motivates the move from an acting/human perspective..
"

Exactly. I felt the last revival


Touring Miss Saigon In San Francisco  Oct 19 2018, 08:34:43 AM

You're entitled to your opinion, but criticizing those people (again, like many Asian American actors I know) who have issues with this piece as "audiences/reviewers that have race-focused views and preferences" is undercutting your argument. 

Like the piece, but denying it's problematic because you don't want it to be says more about you than the piece.



Company London  Oct 18 2018, 08:49:41 AM

Really, everyone - remember the last time Patti got left in London with a show? AIn't gonna happen.

Clearly, the rumor is Anne Hathaway.



Touring Miss Saigon In San Francisco  Oct 17 2018, 10:06:59 AM

You're allowed to like MISS SAIGON. Lots of people do.

But it's hilarious watching people pretend to be surprised to learn it is a controversial show, especially within some Asian American communities. And to use Madama Butterfly as an excuse, when that has also been criticized for decades (have you ever seen M BUTTERFLY?), is well, telling.

Again, like it all you want, but it's very problematic and has been for years. One critic making a point by essentially refusin


Touring Miss Saigon In San Francisco  Oct 16 2018, 01:48:28 PM

Bias? That's a pretty widely held view of the story from most Asian American actors I know.

SAIGON is the show that gives so much (jobs) but still extremely problematic.

And in extremely liberal SF, that's definitely not far out of the mainstream.



Patti's At It Again!  Oct 11 2018, 09:09:11 PM

Oh, the whole interview is in good fun. And clearly, the interviewer is asking all the questions specifically to get juicy quotes.

I happen to agree I miss the days when artists weren't completely sanitized by PR firms. Cher's recent interview about THE CHER SHOW is a great example. She gives interviews like she's hanging out with the reporter and just dishing. Most artists are too consumed with their brand. Some authenticity. 

True, she clearly holds on to grud


Company London  Oct 9 2018, 09:10:17 AM

Didn't Sondheim say last week in St. Louis he expects it to transfer. Everything about it sounds like it will. 



Funny Girl Broadway Revival? Lady gaga?  Oct 9 2018, 09:01:54 AM

faceleg said: "Kad said: "Rosie is just Secreting this out into the world."

Yeah she used to do that all the time on her talk show. I mostly remember her trying to get rumors started that she was gonna be in the movie version of Chicago with Madonna. This was years before the actual movie happened
"

She was attached. At that time, the cast was Madonna and Goldie Hawn, but there was no director attached. When Nicholas Hytner was hired, he


Company London  Oct 7 2018, 06:34:53 PM

Every time Patti does a show, do we really need the same merry-go-round of love-her-hate-her? It's so boring.



The Band's Visit Principal Replacements  Oct 5 2018, 09:29:15 PM

Lot666 said: "Has there been any word regarding Ari'el Stachel's tenure?"

Wasn't there word he'd be leaving in Oct? But you'd think there would be an announcement by now. And he just did a feature on this site. What publicist would set up an interview if he was leaving?



KING KONG - Previews  Oct 4 2018, 08:49:52 PM

Warbucks2 said: "I think Jesse Green from the NYT made a great point: "If in its physical bigness this musical “King Kong” can really achieve big emotion, I’d forgive it almost anything. Operatic theatricality — one step over over-the-top — can short-circuit one’s critical facilities, and despite being a critic I value that."

Company London  Oct 4 2018, 08:41:39 AM

ljay889 said: "I honestly think even discussing the possibility of this transferring without LuPone is ridiculous."

Agreed. It's like imagining ANGELS coming over without Nathan Lane. It's probably have the reason it would.

As for Craig, she's going to have to get raves so the performance could be considered a Don't Miss. But I think it's likelier than not. The entire cast? That's seems a little less likely.



Spielberg's West Side Story  Oct 3 2018, 10:21:58 AM

Kad said: "I'm more curious about Tony Kushner's work on this than Spielberg's."

Same. And especially since I've read so many interviews where he talks about obsessively rewriting and tweaking it. That could just be Kushner being Kushner, but also, I wonder what on earth is so new that it needs endless tweaks??



Tony Winner John Doyle Will Direct New Musical Based on Life and Art of Jean-Michel Basquiat  Sep 26 2018, 09:09:55 AM

Oy. Whenever Doyle's name is mentioned, there's always such a boring deluge of 10 people who can't wait to complain. He has a career (for good reason) and will keep working, so get over it.

Love Basquiat. Love Doyle. Musicals about artists are tricky but I wish them luck.



MOULIN ROUGE eyeing 2019/2020 Broadway transfer  Sep 25 2018, 10:41:44 AM

Word on the street was the producers (new to Bway) didn't want to compete with themselves on KING KONG, which they also have this season. 



Send Charlotte St. Martin A Message: Dim All The Lights For Marin Mazzie  Sep 16 2018, 08:29:42 AM

BroadwayConcierge said: "I'm tired of therealways being a hullaballoo when we could simply just dim the fr*gging lights. Dimming a marquee does not require a massive undertaking. Literally, the house manager just needs to remember to shut off the lights for one minute and turn them back on.

There needs to be a clear, transparent protocol in place.
"

YES. This is not too much to ask for. 

As I believe I said in another thread, what is the poi


Wicked  Sep 2 2018, 09:08:23 AM

BrodyFosse123 said: "Exactly. Universal has confirmed that the film adaptation of WICKED has been delayed due to production scheduling. This means it could be a few more years before the film goes into production."

Exactly. If it were postponed simply to the following summer or following year, they would say so. They aren't, which likely means they're trying to work out a new timeline with the creatives' schedules. 

And yes, dream casting at t


A Star Is Born review. WOW!  Sep 1 2018, 09:19:30 AM

Hudson's performance is not a great example.

The most important part about her deserved wins, sweeping every festival and precursor, is she was a supporting part who only had to come in an steal the show repeatedly - which she did and then some. Combine that with it being a breakout performance for her (most people barely knew who she was other than vaguely remembering her on Idol), and you've got a trophy.

Better comparison would be Beyonce in that film. Carrying a


THE CHER SHOW reveals new artwork  Aug 31 2018, 09:32:22 PM

That's some great art.
