Head over Heels Cast Recording? Aug 3
2018, 02:58:04 PM
I was at a taping of Seth Speaks on Sirius Broadway Tuesday and Bonnie said that a cast recording is in their contracts (which I’m sure is typical), but they haven’t heard anything yet. They’re hoping it happens.
Yup, dramamama611, my master's in English can attest to the fact that I hate to read. I apologize profusely for trying to do two things at once and will be sure to devote all of my attention to posts in the future.
^ I didn't say I had a hard time getting tickets. That was the person who quoted my own comment. I saw Hamilton twice before it became a craze, and I'm content.
”This AM NY review is terrible. It seems Matt Windman disliked it because the show wasn't what he wanted it to be.Those jukebox musicals have been done time and time again. What Head Over Heels does it something new and different with a band's music."
This is why I really enjoyed the show. It had creativity. I’m not a fan of Beautiful, On Your Feet, etc. because it’s nasically Behind the Music with impersonators (and I know t

It’s about ratings, and their ratings haven’t been good. But it’s too late to honor Hamilton. It’s still popular, but not nearly like it was. Fatigue has set in. I’m happy for it, and the rest of the honorees (Cher!!!), but we’ll see if America tunes in.

What??? What do you want them to say “come see the black girl!”??
Come on."
I didn’t say it was right. I just think that’s how they’ll “sell” it since her name doesn’t carry much recognition.

Worse British/American Accent Jul 22

I think Russell Tovey is a great actor and usually my favorite in whatever I’ve seen him in, but his American accent in A View From the Bridge was no good.
Just watched it. I agree that Laura Michelle Kelly is adorable and has a beautiful voice. I don't believe that Matthew Morrison's "still got it" because from my experiences, he never had it. Listen, is he cute? Yes. Is he a nice guy? Yes. Was Glee fun? Yes. Does any of that make a fantastic Broadway performer? No. His voice sounds like he's whining. Obviously my own opinion, and clearly other people

Nicolette Robinson? She’s the wife of Leslie Odom Jr., a great vocalist on her own, and would be the first Black Jenna.
Going August 2nd. Can't wait! It's a show that I (and so many) know so well, so I don't need to be able to understand it. The Yiddish will add more depth.

Count me as another one who loved this rainbow-cookie-of-a-musical. It felt a bit heavy handed at times (we get it, all should be accepted and loved), but it was funny, melodic, and creative. I agree with others who’ve commented about the choreography - definitely the highlight. Most of the ensemble was great, but I wasn’t impressed by the “plain” sister. Sorry to say, but her voice just wasn’t enough. Overall, it was a good time, and I’d recommend the show.

The stage door was full of very enthusiastic Armie/Call Me By Your Name fans. My friend wanted to wait, so we hung out. It took 30-40 minutes for Armie and Paul Schneider to come out. They signed quickly (Armie signed a peach and a copy of Andre Aciman’

^ So Armie’s character shouldn’t try to better understand his brother? We should all just be concerned with ourselves? Isn’t that part of the problem in the world - that people can’t see others’ point of view or insight?

I’m fine with it being about empathy for ALL, including straight white men, but I don’t think that was clear enough that that was the intention of the piece. How am I supposed to feel about the brother who cries but doesn’t ever explain what’s bothering him and has absolutely no drive? If he never explains why he’s upset, how do I have empathy? Am I supposed to be fine with people having no desire to make more of themselves (Armie’s character mentions his brother’s lack of confidence and purp
So much to say about this one and so many questions. This is going to sound negative, but I actually enjoyed the show. Here we go (SPOILERS AHEAD):
1) After watching an hour and forty minutes, I have no idea what I was supposed to take away from the experience. It's marketing itself as a subversive look at straight white men and identity, but it's not that. There are a few moments when the guys seem like frat boys, but overall, they
