Chappelle’s Burr is shockingly good. I think when his personality started to shine through when he swung the roles downtown, there was no doubt he’d be a knock out Lafayette/Jefferson and Mulligan/Madison, but when I saw his Burr, I won’t deny that I was a bit speechless. Totally different type of performance. Great acting choices.
I think plenty of shows are ripe for revival or another showing, but when I think “Next Great Broadway Revival,” I think of the opulence of Dolly and the Sher/Lincoln Center revivals. I would love a revival of Urinetown, but in my eyes, it would never really be that huge, breathtaking feeling we’ve gotten with some revivals.
I’d love to see Forum... because the talent pool is huge right now. Corden would be fabulous, but I can think of about 5 names I&rsquo

No, you can be the recipient more then once. Many actors have. I know Jeremy Davis, who received the robe for Frozen, also got it for the Cats revival, for example.
Jay joining as Raoul has left me slightly slack-jawed, but go Jay! In less then a decade in New York, he’s become known as one of the hardest workers around and he’s earned it. He always is working and surprising people with his work.
No Will Connolly in BE MORE CHILL? Apr 14

We also need to remember that Will Connolly is 34 and totally looks his age. No dig against him, as I’m in the same age bracket, but a lot can change in a few years. His twitter post seemed as if he wasn’t losing sleep.
To me, this “concert style” production feels much more natural then any of the other NBC productions. It resembles many of the stripped down revivals that are common (aside from the 864 member ensemble). The sound mixing is rough, but that’s going to happen any time you have 1500 cheering fans. They’re keep it moving, even with commercials. If this was a staged production, act I would almost be over and we’re less then an hour in. So far, I’m a fan.
Anyway, what show are you seeing? Ultimately, how you explain it your dad is your choice, but we can’t really offer any advice until we know the show. The dropping of the f-bomb in BOM is different then how it’s used in Hamilton then how it’s used in a weird local production of Godspell.
Is this real? Because as a social studies teacher, part of me dies if this real.
The Booth Theater is named after Edwin Booth, a prolific actor of the 19th century. It is not named after John Wilkes Booth, a prolific presidential assassin of the 19th century, who just so happened to be Edwin’s bro.
LMM is pretty rad, but not even close to being at “Name a theater after me!” level rad.
Celia Gooding is LaChanze’s daughter and every bit as talented as her mother.
The ensemble covers a wide range of ages, so it seems the plot is still based around the notion of problems and issues facing families and communities today (which is vague, at best). Still, I’m excited to see how this plays out.
Lovely and lush with great orchestrations. I have a soft spot for this show, despite it’s flaws and this is a very enjoyable recording. “Mama Will Provide” is a blast to hear on the album. There’s been a lot of negativity and gloominess in my life recently, but the fun in the song perks me up.
The ensemble was announced today and a mix of names very recognizable to Broadway fans: Christine Dwyer, Lauren Zakrin, Joel Perez, Felicia Boswell, F. Michael Haynie, Christina Sajous, Kyle Taylor Parker, and...Jonah Platt, among others. Bahiyah Hibah, one of the greatest female dancers on Broadway in the past 15 years, is a featured da
