The Distinctive Baritone said: "Personally, I think that once a Broadway show has closed, bootlegs are actually a good thing - people who didn't get see it can see at least get an idea of what the show was like, and those who did see it can relive their memories of it. It's also basically free advertisement for the actors, who of course will always be looking for the next job.While the show is still open however, I do think it's morally wrong, since they do need to sell t

is there a legal argument against it? certainly! i cannot think of a moral argument against bootlegs, consent by the people being recorded seems a moot point considering they’re already performing for ten thousand people a week

they never did release an actually complete version of the Les Miz soundtrack which was very sad and annoying
Dancingthrulife2 said: "Personally, I'm concerned. It seems to me that the director or whoever comes up with the script does not trust the material and adds so many book scenes in a supposedly sung-through musical to make it "relevant." If it's not done well, the relevancy can easily seem forcedand preachy. Also, from what the trailer shows, it looks too clean, too spacious that it loses the special kind of intimacy, messiness, homeyness, and the heady mixture of al
Hello, Dolly 2017: the revival that got away? Dec 10
2019, 06:03:46 PM
Bette Midler starring in Hello, Dolly! was one of the biggest revivals of the century so far. so why did they let it end? after Bernadette, why did rumors of stars like Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah not come to fruition? this revival could have been a years-long spectacle like the original with our great divas of today getting a chance at the role. after Bernadette, Dolly should have been played by many stars like Patti LuPone, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Audra McDonald, Sutton Foster, Kel

she could open a new musical or play and probably easily win a Tony for it but my secret wish is they’ll just revive Cabaret again and have her star

i agree with Spielberg that the original film isn’t very good. there’s no bite. wtf was with that “birth to earth” rewrite? i agree that it’s not a remake of the film but a new adaptation
Pose2 said: "I honestly cannot figure it out. It's confusing, frustrating and annoying. I think the majority of people want the entire album so they can listen to it in its entirety. I couldn't care less about these character drops. This is not the way to release an album. Ugh."
Anais Mitchell told me on twitter that they basically found they needed more time for mixing and all that
i think it’s actually kind of a fun modern way of releasing the

i wonder how they’ll be shooting a blackout in nyc or if they’ll be using effects to make it look like one has happened
if Camila isn’t there... that makes no sense to me

it just struck me that they’ll probably be filming on the 4th which will be perfect for the act 1 finale!
i saw on wikipedia that camila still hasn’t been cast/announced, i hope Gloria Estefan will be there

i always thought this about that cast, they’re boring.
is this Raul’s first NYC musical since Leap of Faith?! cool to see him back!
BroadwayMarley said: "If straight actors can't play gay roles, wouldn't that mean that gay actors shouldn't play straight roles. That would be a net loss for the gay community."
no it would not mean that. straight people have not faced oppression like gay people have. definitely not the same thing in any way.
also many people flabbergasted at the original cast not being included... do y’all know how movies work?
