Profile for RW3

I finally saw 'Crazy Rich Asians' earlier this week and absolutely loved it. In my opinion, so much of the movie just screams to be musicalized. For those who have seen it, who would you cast in a musical version of the film? Who would be your first choice directors? Composer and lyricist?

God I hope so. Saw it today and I want to play her Dat’s Love over and over again.

Would it be crazy to place Lily James on the list of the potential actresses to play Glinda in the Wicked movie?

Starting this because tonight is the first preview!

For those who saw it tonight who don't mind sharing, how was "Half-Breed' done?

Starting this thread as the first preview is tonight!

An actress by the name of Naoko Mori has been added to the website with the name “Lady Thiang” underneath her photo. Presumably, she is taking over for Ruthie.

I think you mean John Doyle

ACL2006 said: "curious that they already have an u/s going on for the role of "Frankie" and they just started yesterday."

according to celia’s Twitter account, she sprained her ankle. will be going on Tuesday. 

 

GeorgeandDot said: "Um. Carousel is not winning that many Tonys. Certainly not scenic or revival.

I do think that it should be heavily considered for best orchestrations. Tunick has done some incredible work there."

Did I say that they were going to win? Those are simply what I think it will be nominated for. They have a chance to win 1 maybe 2.

After tonight, my Carousel predictions are:

Best Revival of a Musical

Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical-Josh Henry

Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical-Lindsay Mendez

Best Scenic Design in a Musical

Best Choreography

Show is dark...

Official Bernadette Peters in Hello, Dolly! performances thread  Jan 14 2018, 10:49:47 PM

I hope I’m not thread-jacking with this question but, do we know who will be on for Dolly for the performances before Saturday?

Confirmed: https://www.broadway.com/buzz/190720/eva-noblezada-more-to-lead-private-industry-reading-of-broadway-bound-king-kong/

Kong: Skull Island made over $566 million dollars worldwide so I'd say its pretty successful.

I think Newell has got himself a spot in the Featured Actor in a Musical category.

I feel like Summer would be better at the Nederlander."

Agreed.

I kinda know the guy that is playing John Newton and the schedule is definitely some bs. 

One last thing
