Best and favorite  Aug 21 2019, 11:47:41 PM
Best: Hello, Dolly. I find it to be the epitome of musical theatre and an absolute work of genius. Especially the recent revival.

Favorite: I’d be hard pressed to nail down one that I like more than any other, but among my favorites are Rent, Ragtime, Sweeney Todd, Urinetown, Cabaret, and Caroline, or Change. All amazing shows in their own right, yet still flawed.


How much are broadway actors worth  Aug 19 2019, 01:14:20 AM
Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick famously made 100k per week each when they did their return to The Producers.

But yes, they are much higher-profile stars than most on Broadway. An ensemble/chorus member will typically make minimum or just slightly above.


Different shows with similar plots  Aug 18 2019, 07:06:50 PM
You Can’t Take It With You and The Addams Family have a lot in common plot-wise.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN to tour next year  Aug 16 2019, 08:20:25 PM

Per Playbill. Michael Unger will direct, and new orchestrations will be written.

Andrew Barth Feldman at DEH  Aug 14 2019, 10:51:34 PM

Andrew tweeted today about how he's excited about the new cast members and urging people to come see the "new family", which makes it sound like he will be returning to the show.

Andrew Barth Feldman at DEH  Aug 14 2019, 09:59:28 AM
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Anthony Rosenthal did 8 shows a week in Falsettos. (Though the role was split between two young actors for the tour.)

Revival of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE with Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse  Aug 13 2019, 04:04:21 PM

It's not so uncommon, but the one I always think of was in 2013 when Kenneth Posner was nominated in 3 out of the 4 slots - but he lost!"

Yes! Another great example. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that one.



Revival of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE with Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse  Aug 13 2019, 04:03:21 PM
It happened just this year - William Ivey Long was nominated against himself in Best Costume Design of a Musical for Beetlejuice and Tootsie.

Revival of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE with Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse  Aug 13 2019, 03:59:06 PM
I recall times when designers have been nominated against themselves. I’ll try to find a specific example and come back.

Revival of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE with Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse  Aug 13 2019, 01:40:43 PM
Very excited for this.

I assume that the Tony committee would approach this as a revival, even though it’s never played Broadway, since it’s a relatively well-known play and had the off-Broadway run years ago?


Could an opening/closing night happen nowadays?  Aug 12 2019, 09:33:15 PM

Back in 2012, The Performers ran only from November 14th - November 18th.



 Aug 12 2019, 01:48:15 AM
I went today. What a magnificent afternoon. Although I’ve seen this film countless times, I’d never gotten a chance before today to see it on the big screen. I went with my aunt and grandmother, who have been life-long Stresiand fans, and they both teared up multiple times. Very worthwhile.

New season scores ?  Aug 12 2019, 01:17:34 AM
Hadestown and The Prom are my favorites.

Help! My avatar photo was switched without my permission.  Aug 11 2019, 09:16:23 AM
Have you tried just changing it back the usual way?

#BroadwayBloodbath  Aug 11 2019, 12:52:35 AM
Yeah, it’s a tasteless hashtag. Even if it was conceived before the recent events, it still ain’t cute.

Leading Roles that Don’t Sing Much  Aug 9 2019, 09:30:38 AM

I believe you’re thinking of Rodgers and Hart’s “On Your Toes”. On The Town was written by Comden and Green and did not star Makarova. 

Cesare2 said: "Natalia Makarova won the best actress Tony as Vera Barnova in the last revival of Rodgers and Hart's ON THE TOWN. Years earlier Thomas Mitchell won the best actior Tony as Hazel's doctor in Jule Styne's musical HAZEL FLAGG. Neither sang a note in their show."

PLEASE HELP! Any think of the name !!!  Aug 3 2019, 12:42:12 PM
Songs For A New World

Tom Kitt/Yorkey Musical  Aug 1 2019, 12:08:12 AM
I don’t find Kitt/Yorkey to be a one-hit-wonder. Although N2N is clearly their best work, I don’t think that the score to If/Then is half bad. Also, although it’s only Kitt’s work (without Yorkey) I find his orchestrations for American Idiot to be gorgeous. I think that they will churn out work in the future that will further prove them to be high quality writers.

"Unpopular" popular musicals appreciation thread  Jul 31 2019, 11:14:43 PM

Thanks for the link. I entirely agree with your comment.

 

DoTheDood said: "TheGingerBreadMan said: "Anyone who thinks that Heathers is "bubblegum pop" either hasn't actually seen/listened to Heathers or doesn't know what bubblegum pop is."

Here's the thread, and I do agree the original film's score is darker, but just because one of the composers made Legally Blonde (another musical that deserves this thread
