Taylor Louderman’s honesty  Sep 12 2019, 08:01:58 PM

treblemakerz said: "I have always had a great amount of respect for Taylor Louderman, and her recent statements have only strengthened that respect. It takes a great deal of courage to chase after a dream, but even more to admit that dream has changed.

I'm glad she was able to finish out a successful run and hopefully she will find something new that sparks joy for her.

THIS. It’s a job. It might be a dream job for many but that doesn’t me

Shubert is not going to foot the bill for the pouches just like Nederlander didn’t when there were those concerns there. They do, however, have contracts with the company that does the hearing headsets. This is simply because They find it to be a worthwhile investment to give patrons that need it for them to

Entitled people throwing a fit? in 2019? You don't say.

Seriously, if disgruntled people was a reason to not do something, you could never tell anyone the word 'no' nowadays. (How would knowing in advance of purchase change mem


West Side Story revival?  Sep 10 2019, 09:03:52 AM

Oy. Are we going to have to endure months more of this pearl clutching?

If you don't like the idea of an Ivo West Side, then don't go. There are productions of this at major regionals nearly every year. And they're usually all just recreating the original concept with contemporary edge. It ain't the only - or the last - one.



Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy...  Sep 8 2019, 10:13:15 AM

GeorgeandDot said: "I also got the mailer too. I also think the artwork is incredible. Fresh and contemporary. Kind of looks like an A24 film."

Absolutely. It also has an intensity with so many eyes staring right back at you.



West Side Story revival?  Sep 7 2019, 07:27:11 AM

Couldn't disagree more. Received a mailer last week and love the campaign and aesthetics so much I didn't want to throw it away, going so far as contemplating putting it up somewhere in my house. Then, I thought, "What am I - a 15 yr old?"

But anyhow, disagree.

The Wiz at Music Circus - Time for a Broadway Revival??  Sep 1 2019, 10:26:15 AM

I think the score is shockingly wonderful, nearly every song.

To challenge with the show was the central idea, of taking an iconic American story and not just casting black actors and setting it in black America, but telling it through the music, the history, the joy of the black community.

So, a) you can't quite recreate that shock again today, since it's definitely been done since, and b) if you were to follow that prompt, it wouldn't sound like these genres of mus


Richard Linklater - Merrily We Roll Along  Sep 1 2019, 10:18:37 AM

It feels like the thing people are most mad about is waiting.

If Linklater said, SUPRISE, I started filming in 1999 and this comes out tomorrow starring rising stars from the 90s/00s, we'd all be shocked and thrilled.



Teaser trailer for Judy w/Renee Zellweger  Sep 1 2019, 10:13:27 AM

I find it fascinating there is this feeling that somehow because she's had work done, that she is no longer a great actress.

She's won an Oscar and was nominated two(? - Chicago, Bridget Jones) times before she won.

She's clearly struggled to get material to get her career going again, but I'm hopeful this is it. Swing big, Renee.



Hercules Audience Reviews  Sep 1 2019, 10:10:26 AM

Like others, didn't know which thread we're posting in, so doing the faux paus and posting in both:

I agree with these reviews.

Those looking for a polished Disney musical, this ain’t. It’s a Public Works Show.

The goal is community and so they basically do community theatre with big production values and throw in A-List theatre talent beside them. And so, it’s that doing Hercules.

Jelani is so charming and endearing. Bart is s

Jelani is so charming and endearing. Bart is solid and would find many more laugh if there was a traditional preview and run. The puppetry is festival puppetry, which feels appropriate. A

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!  Aug 31 2019, 08:39:26 AM

^Well, as cheery as that is, I will say I was secretly hoping months ago Anne Hathaway would work out because I recall when NIGHT MUSIC was running and it was so great to have a big fat Sondheim hit playing, as opposed to the well-reviewed ones that do well for a few months but after the locals have seen it, starts to struggle a bit.

That said, I adore Katrina. So, if you're gonna have a theatre name beside Patti, she's a blazingly talented one.



COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 29 2019, 09:58:05 PM
And they both were on BwayHD quite recently. Bummer. I wanted to revisit the 06 revival myself.

COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 29 2019, 09:02:36 PM
For what it’s worth, both filmed versions of Company have been taken down on BroadwayHD. (Can’t seem to find anywhere to stream the 06 revival now.)

HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Aug 27 2019, 06:39:02 PM
Well, like most projects that aren’t supposed to have a future life, there’s a long term timeline built in just in case... at least according to the cast member I spoke to.



West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 08:05:22 AM

I think this is some of the best marketing campaign art I've seen on Bway in ages.

Extremely contemporary and fresh, communicates this isn't your standard production, aggressive yet human, plaintive and sexy. 10/10.
