A) Can't act
B) Can't sing"
disagree about both, i thought she was hilarious on Broad City. the character would basically be... herself. I just think she’s wrong for the character.
SomeOtherMe said: "I've heard numerous times from somewho actually know a few Wicked people that they were trying to get Demi Lovato for the role. Maybe with her recent struggles, she has become unable to do so and they looked elsewhere?"
I will be so sad if Demi does not star in this, I think she is one of the only actresses who fits the character and would sing the hell out of the score.

in my mind this is the role that Viola Davis was born to play. it’s so sad she cannot sing (according to an interview that mentioned her possible EGOT with Jimmy Kimmel, which she could win someday possibly with something spoken word).
Uzo Aduba is perfect for it. I also love Jane and Hailey, that is perfect casting for those three, great job GeorgeandDot!

saw the sequel again earlier today and then just finished rewatching the original on netflix
the original i think will hold up much better, i just think it’s a very solid film.
the sequel doesn’t have as many ABBA classics though it is a fun ride especially for fans of some of their lesser hits.
i also noticed i much prefer the way the original was filmed, the sequel kind of looks like a made-for-tv movie in comparison
a little annoyed about the wording regarding Hamilton, they describe it as a piece that defies category. it’s obviously a sung-through biographical musical using rap, hip-hop, R&B and various other forms of modern music. it may be in a category mostly by itself but it doesn’t make it not a category.

i love Hamilton and want this filmed performance as much as anyone but this seems like an odd business strategy. i feel like this could take away good money from the many live productions. still excited for it and when it finally is released
TheQuibbler said: "Did anyone find this one to be a bit of a downer? The scenes in the modern time line were so weighted down by Donna’s death that the energetic and poppy musical numbers felt inappropriate; the juxtaposition of those two tones threweverything off for me. It wasn’t until the last act that the movie struck the right balance between the different tones."
i kind of agree, the whole thing maybe would have held up better as simply a prequel.

i don’t even think that man saw the movie because during the actual narrative i don’t recall any of the past young characters interacting with their adult selves, that only happened in the encore (outside the narrative)

saw the movie tonight and really enjoyed it. do not go in expecting plot - there’s basically none. i wished Meryl was there but the rest of the cast soldiers on without her. my favorite parts were the young Donna timeline with the interactions among her and her friends and prospective suitors, as well as Cher appearing towards the end. the musical performances are also very enjoyable! i look forward to watching it again

she’s obviously a fantastic vocalist, among the best that originated on the stage within the last few decades
Kad said: "I won't believe any of the "casting news" Chenoweth shares until tickets are on sale."
seriously. her career has been filled with this annoying “i’m gonna be in _____ eventually, wait and see!” it’s obnoxious. then again i think On the 20th was first mentioned in like 2011 or so and it took 4 years but it finally happened.
i just wish Netflix would do us a favor and revive Pushing Daisies, i loved

good riddance to the Dame, what she said about Lauren Ambrose was so tacky and tactless I’m sure her leaving the show will be a weight off her costars shoulders. someone should have a little class

the photo of the set from instagram is absolutely stunning! but a few of the posts confused me, did it start performances on June 27th or was it 6 days ago?
i’m almost certain this sheet music has not been commercially released
edit: huh a google search does lead to another thread on this forum with a now-dead link to some stuff on musicnotes, i must have missed it! i’m a big sheet music fan so i don’t know how it snuck past me
