Its basically their own version of Cameo where performers record videos for fans for a fee. Smart on their part. I wonder how many will take advantage of it.

When I emailed their website to explain that as a teacher, I’d love to show this to my students, so could they make an exception for educators and expand the viewing period to three days, their response was “We can’t, but you can buy three separate show tickets.” 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck with your show, producers!

Netflix's THE PROM official thread/reviews/reactions Dec 11
2020, 09:37:50 PM
I was worried based on reviews, but while James Corden shouldn't have been cast and the show itself is still preachy, it is a ton of fun and I'm humming the songs again. A bright spot in this darkness.

NBC will present THE GRINCH musical this December starring Morrison Dec 5
2020, 03:49:06 PM
I do not agree that Morrison is talented. He seems like a nice enough guy who genuinely loves performing and he can carry a tune, but his voice is nasal and he plays every role the same - like a former member of a boyband. That worked for Link, but I've never seen it work for anything else that he's done. They would even comment on Glee about how he seemed like a teacher who wanted to be part of the group of kids. There's no depth or variety to him.

Jingle Jangle - Netflix Nov 27

Watched this yesterday and loved it. Not sure why it's not getting more love on here. Original story, original songs, and lots of fun! There were moments of similarities to Greatest Showman and moments of similarities to Mary Poppins. Watch and enjoy!

I teach "A Christmas Carol" and wanted to watch it with my class. I only have them for 40 minutes, so it would have to be spread over multiple days (realistically 3 days at 30 minutes each by the time they all get settled). It's frustrating that it is only good for a 24 hours viewing period.

PBS: Fiddler (documentary) Nov 14
2020, 11:47:33 AM
I saw it in the theater twice when it came out and watch it again last night. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think they made some cuts. I remember a whole extra portion about a village called Anatevka in Russia that was modeled after the real thing. I also thought it ended with Sheldon Harnick playing the fiddle to close it the way it started. Maybe I'm wrong. It is a gorgeous documentary, but I do remember it being a bit long in the theatre, and I didn't miss the Anatevka bit.

What Is The Cheapest Broadway Musical Ever? Oct 17
2020, 07:55:16 AM
Hands on a Hardbody? The only set pieces I recall were a truck and a desk. Yes, a truck is a bit pricey, but that's literally it.

PBS and Lincoln Center have some sort of contract. I'd love to see this there. I'm going through withdrawals.

I didn’t say it was a good idea; I just said I could see Rudin doing that as long as he got the go-ahead from Cuomo. And yes, as DRS said, schools are open or opening in the next week.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they reopen and require masks for the audience and a bubble situation for the cast. It seemed as though other shows announced a spring reopening “if it’s safe” and MM just announced a spring opening. Perhaps a “come at your own risk” situation as long as they get the okay from the state? Schools are now open, so I bet they’re using that as the guinea pig that will help them make decisions about these others types of activities.

I was watching Playbills stream of Newsies, and at the end there was a reunion of sorts. After the reunion, there was a condolence to Michael McArthur, part of the Paper Mill cast, who just passed. Anyone know what happened or if it was Covid related? So tragic at such a young age.

I don't know about now, but it's not something that the public needs to know. His partner did show up when Little Shop of Horrors opened off-broadway last year."
I totally agree that it's not something we're entitled to know. It's just something I was

Here are my questions:
1) Did he have a relationship with his father once he cane out? If not, I feel like that may be an important reason for his temper when always trying to prove himself.
2) Where is his partner today? And that house?

Loved it and wanted more, but that’s the tragedy of the whole thing. He had so much more to give. Grateful for what we got.

Common on Broadway Aug 7
2020, 09:49:06 AM
Common was just on "Kelly and Ryan" talking about his Audible special. He said he chose to do it partly because of his love of theater, and the goal is to develop it and bring it to Broadway because he has always wanted to get to Broadway. He's such a talented actor, hip-hop artist, and chill guy. I'd love to see him on Broadway in his own production or something else that he can make his own. Looking forward to it!
