Here I Am said: "Are posters in this thread even serious? Gaga is obviously Broadway material, there’s not even a question about it."
exactly this. the delusions on this board are sometimes a little much.
i wouldn’t be shocked if she starred in a Broadway production by 2025. i don’t know what her next career move is but i’ve always thought Broadway was in her future.
a lot of this is exactly how i could see it cast except they’d probably want someone more commercial as Glinda, i think Kristen Bell could actually be good in the role. Nessarose, I’d like to see may

musical theater fans have explained this to newbies i assume for decades and i guess it’s gotten to the point where it’s exhausting. it’s almost 2019, the knowledge of basically everything in the universe is in a metal rectangle in your pocket and you still can’t be bothered to learn the correct terminology for something that’s been around for about 75 years? “soundtrack” is a very specific thing, cast recordings are decidedly not that same thing. are they similar? sure! and everyone who snarkil

fans of musical theatre need to eventually learn that cast recordings are not called soundtracks and when you call them that it bespeaks the lack of knowledge

i don’t post on the board as often as i used to due to my interests becoming less focused on theater but it’s still a board i tend to check out at least once a day just to see what’s going on, and i feel like stuff that happened last night and the steps that were taken to iradicate the discussion so grossly outweigh what was being discussed. why even bother having a board if people aren’t allowed to discuss theate

I read on the web site about the lottery tickets. I just don't get the math. But there is probably more types of fund raising being done around the run itself and perhaps the big money ticket packages offset the 10 dollar tickets. "
hasn’t the show made some obscene profits so far that probably offset any loss they may face from the discounts?
Tim Barstow said: "This is semi off topic, but Universal does not know how to pick directors for movie musicals. I mean Tom Hooper is a great director, but he should not be directing Cats. Do you know why? It’s not in his wheelhouse! Same with Stephen Daldry. The man has never directed a movie musical in his career and yet they’re putting the most anticipated movie musical on his shoulders."
you know that like... almost no directors have directed
