Taylor Louderman’s honesty Sep 12
2019, 06:08:58 PM
I’m very interested to see how Taylor’s career evolves, she is a wonderful talent and I admire the transparency in this interview.
Anyone remember when she withdrew from Ride The Cyclone halfway through previews? I was terrified she’d never work again, but 2 Broadway shows and a Tony nomination later, she’s the real deal.

Cursed Child has never played a week below 100% capacity, and does not offer SRO.

My theory is - do tourists (and the NYC general public) know that it is possible to get tickets to Cursed Child? By that, I mean - I'm wondering i
OSCAR at The Crown Sep 9

I loved this - it’s so much better than Cleopatra from last year if anyone saw that.
Yes, the acoustics of the room make it really hard to understand lyrics. But you get the idea, and it’s not Hamilton. It’s a f***ing blast - great choreo, fun atmosphere, and zany story that kept a smile on my face the whole time.
The show flies by, and I didn’t mind standing at all. The cast recording has been on repeat for weeks for me. For $18 on TodayTix, it was well worth the trip to BK.
Jerry Mitchell and Jess Vosk teaming up for new musical Sep 9

Haven’t seen it yet, but this song they released is better than most musical theatre songs that debuted on broadway last season. Cannot wait for this one.
Saw the tour the other week, and enjoyed it as well. The cast is just as good as the Broadway revival, and it's in great shape. They're missing a couple of effects here and there, but overall I was impressed by the stature of the production. They even went out into the house constantly to interact.
Keri-Rene Fuller as Grizabella sang the best rendition of Memory I have ever heard live. She's super young, but besides that, just..wow. I was blown away.

Why aren't more Broadway shows preserved on film? Sep 8
2019, 09:38:54 AM
Ethics aside, everyone here is forgetting the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to film a broadway show. It is not the same as the Lincoln Center tapings, it is a whole ordeal.
All of the unions in the theater get paid (high) amounts for their work, in addition to their normal performing and operating costs.
All of this money, let’s says $500,000, not including advertising or postproduction, goes...nowhere? No one knows how much a movie can make on Netflix. If Fathom

I think the most recent rumor was Bees is considering London first, and then Broadway...next season? Not entirely sure what’s going on with that one, but LOVED it downtown
Sources at the show have reported that at the end of Part 1, Umbridge instructed the audience to go to Times Square and "look up". Should be happening now - hoping for a dark mark LED screen takeover?
EDIT: As I predicted, it's all a ploy for their new marketing campaign:
Is there Room For Sing Street and The Wrong Man? Sep 5

If you haven’t seen the Sing Street movie, you’re really missing out. It’s on Netflix. It’s just so, so good. Even if the musical is a mess (which I doubt?), the source material is so strong it’ll be a blast nonetheless.

There are definitely conflicting sources saying a movie will or will not happen. No matter what, Radcliffe & Co are all going to have to appear to be

Rob is a super nice guy, and very talented. I just can’t believe he was the first pick for this role. Ugh.

Cursed Child Logo Change Sep 4

I don’t know specifics, but for example, Warner Bros forced the Lyric to stop selling their off-brand version of Butterbeer over the summer because it wasn’t the official one, but they also refused to allow them to sell the butterbeer from Universal.
It looks like Warner Bros is just now getting around to re-examining how they view Cursed Child within their brand as San Francisco and Germany get ready to open.
I can’t find any articles, but much like Disney, these corporation
Cursed Child Logo Change Sep 4
2019, 09:12:12 PM
I don’t know all the legal jargon, but basically Warner Bros is unifying all the HP ip together, so the official logo is being used.
The good is this most likely means the Lyric will get access to the official Wizarding World theme park butterbeer!
Also, SIX London did a "flash mob" at the Tower of London last week, and it's SO CUTE. They need to do this in Central Park next summer, it would draw a massive crowd.
