Could social media and cameo aid in the issue with fans thinking they’re friends Dec 21
2020, 02:47:07 AM
I have seen TOO much where someone has said a nice word to a person at the stage door, accepted a friend request on social media, and the fan getting the impression that "OMG! They took my FRIEND request! That means we are FRIENDS!" Not just when it comes to stage actors. I have a number of friends (like legit hang out in person, known for years/before the were famous, friends) that hit it off in the voice over industry and have a lot of problems with people stalking them on so

Cindy Lou and her mother are the best things about this. I find myself just totally invested in this broadcast whenever either of them are on the screen.

I give it this so far, the children performers are working their little behinds off and making it enjoyable whenever they are on the screen. Their joy reminds you this is suppose to be a family Christmas musical event.

You know it's bad when you are begging the story to get to Morrison because this is cringy. I really had hopes for O'Hare but... woof. Like wooooooof.

Thanksgiving Day g vv ..mm v2020 - Broadway Plans Nov 27
2020, 12:43:30 AM
Yeeeeaaaahhhh. I think all these months of covid stress on me just made me SNAP this morning. Half way through Hamilton's performance I just BURST into tears and cried the whole rest of the performance. I was just so happy and overwhelmed to see a theatrical performance once again, even one that was pre-taped, that I just lost it. I straight up LOST it. Thank God I wasn't watching with my family, they would have thought me insane.

True - but I'd also say that both Michael C. Hall and Taye Diggs are somewhat "bizarre"casting and had a

Disney Films That Would Make Awful Broadway Shows Nov 21

Pocahontas. It's already a pretty "yikes" and problematic 95% false retelling of the life of a real life person (for more on why Pocahontas is so bad, please look up Lindsay Ellis's video "Pocahontas Was a Mistake, and Here's Why!" to add even more "yikes" to it would be to make a musical out of it.

Gosh, I am looking more into these like social media head hunters out there trying to 'out all the Broadway republicans' and I'm just like... damn... quarantine really has made people go stir crazy, ain't it?
Look. This tiny rant is directed SPECIFICALLY at people trying to make a blacklist of Broadway actors people should shun or attack on social media based SOLEY on how they are registered to vote.

ACL2006 said: "Can he really be fired for this though? His castmates came after him on Twitter, but what legal ways can they talk AEA into making sure he doesn't return to the show?"
Technically speaking, they are all fired at the moment. Like literally every actor on Broadway.
I can't imagine that ANY actor on Broadway will not have an expired contract by the time Broadway returns. So technically speaking, producers can decline to have renew his

74th Annual Tony Awards will go digital this fall Nov 16

Just a theory but could this delay be related to making some kind of deal with the union as well as a small sampling of actors both from nominated shows as well as already running productions to get into their spaces to record performances for the broadcast?
Not talking huge musical production numbers here but could surely see something like a slightly reblocked socially distanced "Come What May" to represent Moulin Rouge or something like "Wait for It" from H

Ryan Murphy talks THE PROM, A CHORUS LINE limited series, and GEORGIA MCBRIDE adaptation for Netflix Nov 12

So. Wait. I wanna see if I am getting this right as this is the first time I'm hearing about it. This Chorus Line limited series is going to be like.... the making of A Chorus Line? Like a look into the world of chorus dancers that inspired the musical... about the world of chorus dancers?
I am.... strangely here for that.

Is there any new talk about the future of BEETLEJUICE? Nov 12

*sigh* Ok. Look. I was in the "they are totally gonna transfer" camp a few months ago but now... come on people. I KNOW the actors seem sure about this but I think that everyone, producers, actors, and fans, and living in a time that has split away from us now.
I DO think that yes, plans were in place for the show to move. I think it was only a short time away from being announced when the big ol' C19 hit. At this point, the producers need to think.... is the transfer the

Ticketmaster to require vaccine or negative covid tests to attend concerts Nov 11
2020, 04:51:25 PM
It's a start but my main concern is the extra cost. Most insurance companies (if you even HAVE insurance) will cover a covid test once ever x amount of days. As things start to reopen, if everything will require a test that was taken within 7 to 14 days of the event date but your insurance will not end up covering tests taken that often, is going back to concerts and potentially theatrical events worth the cost of taking tests anytime you want to go out somewhere?

I have two. The first was the Sarah Jessica Parker revival of "Once Upon a Mattress." At the time it was before the rise of the internet and info on things like show closings was not ready available so I did not know that the day we had the option to see it was actually the day before it was closing. I do not recall what exactly we saw that day from TKTS only that we severely were disappointed in it and wished we had seen Mattress instead especially after catching it's performan

Has there been any indication if they will be a window for trying to move dates if our new date given to us does not work well? The date I got it not BAD but I would like something a little later in the spring or early summer then what I was given.

I can't see them combining plays and musicals together into "Best New Production" and "Best Revival Production."
I CAN however see them combining new and revival of each to make it just "Best Play, New or Revival)" and "Best Musical, Ne

This is going to be a VERY lucky break for a few of these shows. Things that were about to be buried under the wave of things opening up now have less competition. It's a mixed bag and I can't decide how I feel about it. On one side... yeah Tony awards! On the other side, some people are about to win awards only because there was no one else to win it. I mean, dear lord Leading actor in a musical there are like 2 options. And one of them might not even be eligible because of
