Pre-1920s Songs May 5

Since you said that this is for an exam, I’m assuming you’re in college - if you can find sheet music for a song but not a backing track, you may be able to have a music/piano major record the backing for you. They will likely expect to be paid for it, but it’s an option if you really can’t find anything.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut it. It literally has no purpose. The whole show is told through flashback through the context of the Clock of th
Speaking of Disney, what do folks here think that chances of seeing Beauty and the Beast or Mary Poppins revived are? Both were quite successful for Disney Theatricals and a hit with audiences.

People on this board get truly upset when their favorite show or actor doesn't win and they think it actually has something to do with art? Like an actual artistic injustice happened because their show wasn't nominated. They aren't sad because of the economic ramifications (maybe a limited few are) but mainly because they believe that the award or nomination is somehow based fairly on made up merits o

Tom Hollander would get my vote though."
How can you choose who you would vote for if you haven’t seen any of the plays and don’t plan to?
Anywho, I think that Garfield has this in the bag.
Gender bending? Apr 25
2018, 10:28:13 PM
I’m with your daughter on this one. A gender bend is a role that was played by one sex, and later played by another sex - like Nathan Lane and Whoopi Goldberg both playing Pseudolous in Forum. A case such as Edna is simply drag.

Yes. Man can SANG.
The problem is - man can’t act.
Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London Apr 19

I’m so sick of this bullsh*t. Why can people not get it through their heads that it’s not okay for minority stories to be told by non-minorities? It’s ridiculous. Cast people who are talented AND racially/ethnically appropriate for the roles. It’s not fu*king difficult. Shame on Sierra and shame on those who were involved in her getting the role.
There's nothing rude about what Mr. Shalhoub did. Perhaps he was on vocal rest/had a cold, perhaps he was tired, perhaps he was in a rush to get to an event after the show and didn't have time to make conversation with every single fan at the stage door. He doesn't owe you a thing. You paid for a ticket to the show, not for a meet and greet with the cast. Signing autographs and listening to fan's stories is more than he has to do, yet he generously takes time out of his day to

I would love to see or hear this. I love Our Town and I can imagine Jones and Schmidt doing wonders with it.
Is DISASTER! (the musical) worth seeing? Apr 10
2018, 10:48:22 PM
I think it’s a fun show. I’m going to be in a production this summer. It’s not groundbreaking or thought-provoking theatre by any means, but it’s an enjoyable couple of hours.
"Annie" should pay her bills Apr 8

It’s pretty gross that they think it’s okay to just go around publishing people’s business like this, regardless of fame or notoriety. Let the collection agencies take care of it.
dmwnc1959 - The ill-fated tour of the show which was slated to run a few years ago was indeed to be an arena tour. Methinks that the tour would have happened had it been a traditional national tour playing subscriber houses - they seem to have severely overestimated the number of people who would be interested. This tour will likely fare much better.
SAINT JOAN (2018) Previews Apr 4

I’m disappointed to hear these early reactions; I had high hopes for this one. Hopefully it will tighten up and performances will improve throughout previews.
The wonderful Scott Sowers has passed away at age 54 on Easter morning of a heart attack. His many contributions to the theatre community include co-founding the Signature Theatre Company in 1991. He is perhaps best known for his critically-praised performance as Stanley Kowalski in 2004's revival of A Streetcar Named Desire. Additional Broadway credits include Will Masters in Bus Stop in 1996 and Inherit The Wind in 2007.
AMDA Audition Questions? Apr 3
2018, 04:17:03 PM
The interview is very easy and low-stress. They may ask you questions about your monologues (character motivation, etc) as well as questions about you as a person (what your goals/aspirations are, why you’re choosing to audition for AMDA, dream roles, etc). It lasts about 5 minutes total.
