I am a massive theatre fan (obviously). I love acting as well as set design and at some point in my life I want to direct so I pretty much love every aspect of theatre.
I feel as though the other roles are easy to cast as stars. I picture it in the round with a sandbox al la OOTI but the stage is at least 3x as large with 3 large play areas where scenery can change off camera.

Been a Long Day from H2$. The guy isn’t a base but it’s fairly speak singy.

I can't disagree more. I thought it was pretty fantastic. I thought Sara and Josh were great hosts: very pleasant. Once on this Island and Band's Visit gave stand out performances and quite a few wins that surprised me. Also the Parkland segment was so moving.
Lindsay looks like a princess tonight and I am so excited that she won. She is truly stunning (although I personally am not a fan of Carousel) I've seen her perform 5 times.

I’m honestly shocked that people didn’t like his set list. I thought It really showed off what a strong performer he is. Every song you can tell that he is giving his all.
Overall, Fantastic! Norm really stole the show for me. I thought John was perhaps the most effective stunt casting of any of the live musicals. Sara and BVD were both very good, however, I feel that both suffered due to the producers desire to focus the production on John Legend rather than their perspectives as the story demands. I felt like especially BVD never really got the camera time he deserved which led to me not really feeling his love for Jesus until his death (this is one of t

I can’t disagree more. It’s different than the traditional but I thought it was very effective.

I think the filming of a concert style staging works so much better than any of the previous live musicals as well. To me the filming always felt awkward just due to the nature of earlier productions but this feels natural.

I can’t help but feel that is unfair to the kids that did get cast who were probably super excited to do this show to cancel it due to a director’s blunder. Like it’s not the kids fault that the director did what they did.

I just got back and didnt particularly like it. Unfortunately it never really captured my interest. I feel like it tried to tell too many stories and needed to focus on one relationship whether it be the one with charity the various acts or Zac Efron. I think the songs are good as stand alone songs but don’t make any sense in the context of the film. My favorite part was actually the first song when Barnum and Charity were kids. I also felt like it was filmed like a music video rather than a nar

O I see. I am 100% biased towards Sutton, seeing her perform anything is always surreal for me. Seeing her concert really made me appreciate how fantastic of an actor she is, her eyes and smile are just killer. I think objectively Stephanie had the best flow and set list. Andrew’s set list I really loved too. For whatever reason Leslie’s set just didn’t work for me. I think I just don’t like the style he is going for (it’s much less musical theatre than the others).

Hearing her sing Stars and the Moon was thrilling but I think the If I were a bell/singin in the rain bit was probably my favorite. Obviously the Groff bit was the highlight. I honestly love everything she does so it’s hard to say.

It was not from Anything Goes and I can’t for the life of me figure out what song it was but it was definitely in the style of You’re the Top.
Sutton bookended the show with Cockeyed optimist, she had her not for the life of me/nyc/astonishing medley, a duet medley of gimme gimme and some other love song that was fantastic, a really cute medley of If I were a bell and singin in the rain, Stars and the moon, down with love, a song from Bridges of Madison county, and starting here, start
