The way that is phrased makes me think they don't have the rights to do this and are unlikely to get the rights to do this.

I don't think this is a sign that Disney is more open to letting others develop their IP. I think it's more a perfect storm of an industry shut down and a viral media mome

Most of these (the big, legit ones anyways) are sanctioned by an organization associated with AEA called Theatre Authority. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe they put restrictions on staging and choreography, but they do have a limit of 25 hours of rehearsal time. That's probably why you don't often see much choreo.

The Met's head electrician makes $510k and the head carpenter $459k. I'm sure the

I have a feeling Disney has blessed this behind the scenes as a one-off fundraiser. I don't think a producer would risk pissing them off, and a Disney "star" (Milo Manheim) has participated, and the official Disney Parks TikTok also contributed a video to it. 

I was giving this a 5% chance of actually happening. Now that I know she's an anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist, I give it a 2% chance.

I'm 99% sure there will be ugly labor negotiations as we get closer to reopening. I think any rational person would understand that costs need to come down temporarily to give shows a reasonable shot at reopening and surviving. I'm guessing all the parties differ on the amount and length of any cuts. Seems to me that a cut of, say 20% for the first year back, repayable and then some from any profit, seems reasonable.

If theater is to "re-open" in June, will the Governor see to it that those in the theatre and entertainment field start getting vaccinatedin April so that they can have both shots by June? I think I heard there is something like a 3 week window after the second shot for it to fully take. I would suspect that it might be mandatory for people in the theatreto get vaccinated seeing the closene

The nominees aren't doing interviews or campaigning without any notion of a date. People are already forgetting who is nominated. Are they really going to ask voters to vote for things they saw 2 years ago? How will anyone trulyremember the nuances of the nominated scores from plays? Or the composi

Worst? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Easily."

Pre-show curtain? What is this ancient artifact you speak of? I liked Hello Dolly's classic red velvet curtain pre-show, and then bold red logo curtain post-show.

They spent $22 million to fight marriage equality in California. I'd say that's pretty aggressive and pushy.

I’m actually quite surprised by Meryl’s vocals, she does a heck of a belt on her."

If you're referring to this, then yes, I agree.

Wick3 said: "Thanks for the NYT article! Wow $3.7 million to film and that's only 1 actor!

I also saw this:

"A filmed performance by Mr. Mays will be streamed this year to benefit regional theaters, and a second version, with more special effects, will be marketed next year to streaming services."

Looks like there will be 2 versions of this film? The one this year is a live capture of the play performed by Jefferson Mays and I guess next

How much money is necessary to keep the theatre chugging along during this crisis? Would it include aid to the unemployed actors and crew or only for the theatre/company owners?"

An updated version of the Federal Theatre Project (paying theatre artists to create theatre) would be wonderful but will never happen.

According to the Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/29/theater/christmas-carol-dickens-pandemic.html) it cost $3.7M to film. So they need to sell about 75k tickets over the next month to recoup. Yikes.

"Where are the leaders? The powerful and influential folks who will organize support for the ARTS! Not just their individual theaters or production but organized support the way Great Britain has done.
