"A Winter Garden usher posted in another thread a bit ago that the production has ordered them not to go into the aisles during the performance to stop people from texting, filming, etc.

At my performance some guy was repeatedly taking photos with his huge phone over his head and the ushers saw but did nothing. An idiotic policy like that is just going to breed more bad behavior like this.

MEAN GIRLS To Welcome Social Media Star Cameron Dallas For Four Week Run  Dec 20 2019, 05:45:14 AM

It seemd to work pretty well when they cast YouTuber Joe Sugg in Waitress in London in another featured role that didn’t require any ‘heavy lifting’.



WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 10 2019, 11:19:49 PM

Thanks JBroadway, BJR and supersam1026 for all your thoughts and recollections. It’s encouraging reading and a joy to watch an informative, creative debate unfold on here finally. Much appreciated.

*Post removed to keep thread on track. It’s nice to see the show being discussed. Finally.



PHANTOM OF THE OPERA French version in concert, Canada 2020  Dec 9 2019, 12:53:49 PM

Lot666 said: "Although I do love Ben Crawford, I wish the Broadway production would cast a true opera singer in the title role."

Just one more reason why Anthony Warlow was always so perfect. 



West Side Story revival?  Dec 7 2019, 04:50:40 PM

I think it’s really exciting to have the opportunity to see a classic still surprise and thrill you like the first time.

Looking forward to catching this in the new year.

This board in the old days  Nov 28 2019, 08:50:46 PM

Who was it who insisted on adding to the enormous list of EVERY show they saw in their footer throughout the year? By fall even their shortest post would take up the entire screen. I don’t miss that.

Falsettolands said: "... it really isn't that difficult a concept to grasp... I don't really see it all that ridiculous when people are disappointed that 4/14 of the cast members are identifiable as people of color... this is a valid casting concern where the opportunity has presented itself for criticism."

I don’t think the show was cast to fit any racial quota either way and conclude that the people involved are the best that auditioned


Susan in company  Nov 23 2019, 09:08:45 PM

YvanEhtNioj said: "Seems more like tokenism"

I’m genuinely confused by this comment. Are you suggesting that Marianne Elliott and the producers have an issue with casting non-white actors here or that they should have chosen actors who may not have been the best fit for the part purely because they were ‘of color’. Because surely THAT would have been tokenism?



Imelda Staunton & Jenna Russell to lead HELLO DOLLY in London  Nov 23 2019, 08:01:57 PM

SouthernCakes said: "It is interesting. I mean if we look down at West End musical theater stars why we do we constantly get them here? We don’t tend to send our queens across the pond, yet them seem to come here?"

This is hardly accurate. Patti, Audra, Idina, Chita, Kelli O’Hara, Marin Mazzie, Casey Levy (along with the entire Broadway cast of Hair), Donna McKechnie off the top of my head for the girls. Gavin Creel, Roger Bart, Michael Ard


Original creative team reuniting for Opera Australia Secret Garden  Nov 23 2019, 07:43:38 PM

Yes now THAT is exciting. Still keeping everything crossed for Phillip Quast as well though. But I’ll definitely be there in Melbourne now, after missing it the first time around (though I did catch Quast in the RSC production in Stratford). They’re both world class and you’d be a fool to pass-up seeing Anthony Warlow in anything.

Jordan Catalano said: "But you point out what a lot of peoples issues with her are - She’s brilliant on film but on stage plays everything like a coked out psycho."

She really IS fantastic on stage too but giving performances that were meant for the whole house not a camera closeup so they translated quite badly for the live taping. I find Angela Lansbury’s vaudevillian Mrs Lovett to be in the same vein when Sweeney was filmed on tour. Imel

Plannietink08 said: " It’s going on a UK tour before itreturns to the West End. I think that’s a smart move personally."

It’s not returning to the West End anytime soon. That is the biggest PR BS I’ve heard in a while and will be quietly forgotten....



How hot does it have to be for a show to be cancelled? (In Celsius if you can)  Nov 21 2019, 02:27:48 PM

I worked as stage crew at Phantom, London during an unbearably hot spell in August 2002 and there was definitely no AC in Her Majesty’s. We just sweated it out and then hydrated ourselves in the pub after the show. I assume we were a good 10 degrees cooler than Melbourne though. And that any electrical equipment you may have in Aussie will be suitably cooled to prevent it overheating inside the theatre.
