Light in the Piazza tour - Broadway transfer?  Dec 20 2019, 10:01:54 AM

Ravenclaw said: "I first fell in love with Light in the Piazza when I saw a recording of the PBS broadcast over a decade ago. It's been years since I've seen a production, so I was rather excited for this, especially considering Chris Jones's stamp of approval. I wish I shared in his admiration for this production.

Solea was out tonight (in the most bizarre understudy announcement I've ever seen, a man walked onstage with a handheld microphone and said that


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 18 2019, 07:31:40 PM

West End CAROLINE OR CHANGE revival at Roundabout in 2020  Dec 12 2019, 02:30:38 PM

Kad said: "Levy is really the only thing here that doesn't work for me... it's very odd casting for this role, indeed. And although she's just 2-3 years younger than Veanne Cox was, she reads much younger to me."

I think what’s throwing me off is that Veanne Cox is such a character actress who happens to be able to sing, where Caissie is known for belting her face off. Figured they would go for someone similar this time around but guess not. You&rsq

So we’re just getting a concert version? Lol



THE SOUND INSIDE Reviews  Oct 27 2019, 12:43:51 PM
Saw the show last night and I’m honestly still reeling. It’s been going through my head nonstop, wondering and thinking about all the possibilities and questions that it raises. I can not recommend this play enough. Acting was superb all around.

After this and Band’s Visit, I am officially a member of the church of David Cromer.


If Julie Andrews hadn’t lost her voice  Oct 17 2019, 08:19:26 PM

ggersten said: "EdEval said: "Julie could have done nicely as Margaret Johnson in Light in the Piazza."

Get me to the alternate universe where this happened!


Well, she was 70 when the show opened.  I adore her as much as anyone, but that would have been...not the best idea.

 



If Julie Andrews hadn’t lost her voice  Oct 11 2019, 03:39:53 PM

Not for nothing, but I'd kill to see her take on Madame Armfeldt, even if only for a one night concert.  She could easily pull that off



Operatic Porgy and Bess vs. Broadway Porgy  Oct 2 2019, 03:29:22 PM

HeyMrMusic said: "I saw Angel Blue as Musetta in La Bohème at the Met last season and she was sensational. She’s an incredible performer."

I've seen Boheme about 87 billion times at the Met and she was by far my favorite Musetta that I've ever seen.  Such a wonderful singer and performer.  I went to opening night last week and she sounded heavenly.



West Side Story revival?  Sep 9 2019, 05:28:03 PM

ljay889 said: "The brand new choreography and orchestrations will be a major change. Right now, Tunick and Gemignani’s involvement is the only saving grace for me."

Ummm..excuse me?  new Orchestrations??? Yeesh, I was already trepidatious about this revival.  Are they trying to pull an OKLAHOMA! on this, musically speaking?

Tunick and Gemignani are geniuses (and I always have full faith in them), but why was it even a discussion to touch a


HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Sep 3 2019, 04:08:32 PM

BenjaminNicholas2 said: "Tempo and key-changes?

Well, that seems like it would take the excitement out of the music.

You cast a show around performers who can handle the music, not the other way around
"

Strangely enough, the lowered keys were only for the muses' songs when they definitely didn't need it.  I mean, Ramona Keller is one of the fiercest beltresses I know of (I'm looking at you, Caroline, Or Change cast recording), s


HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Sep 3 2019, 12:30:58 PM

LizzieCurry said: "Is the Hadestown joke still in the show?"

Yup!  And it fits right in.  The whole evening is very silly so it works.  

Really such a joyous and fun show.   The song tempos were much slower than the film (not to mention keys were lowered) so that threw me off a bit, but otherwise had an absolute blast.  It's not perfect by any means, but it accomplishes exactly what it set out to do.



COMPANY  Aug 30 2019, 03:55:05 PM

Jordan Catalano said: "I thought the orchestra sounded great in London."

I'm listening to the London recording and the orchestra sounds so...tinny?  Small? lacking energy?  Can't put my finger on it.  Maybe it's just how it was recorded.  I'm so used to the BOOM, brass and thrusting percussion of the original.  I'll wait to hear it in person to fully judge.  

I figured we weren't going to be


COMPANY  Aug 30 2019, 03:20:55 PM

Can we just please get a revival of COMPANY with a full orchestra instead of a tiny desk concert-level ensemble?

Regardless, super excited for this.



Are there any broadway musicals that pay homage to the 1930s movie musicals starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers?  Aug 26 2019, 12:26:27 AM
The musical Never Gonna Dance was based on the Astaire/Rogers movie Swing Time. It was a pleasant but mostly forgettable show. Only ran for about 3 months or so. I think I saw one of the very few -if any- sold out performances

Eva Noblezada in HADESTOWN  Aug 25 2019, 09:50:23 AM
I’ve seen the show twice with Patrick (off and on broadway) and once with T. Oliver Reid.

When Patrick is out, everything is mostly sung an octave higher. T. Oliver Reid played it more sly, cool, slick oily salesman whereas Patrick is just this booming, creepy presence that draws you in but also scares you. Both interpretations work within the story, but you definitely miss the basso profundo he has when he’s out.



Carmen Cusack, Tony Yazbeck & Harry Hadden-Paton to Headline New Broadway Musical Flying Over Sunset At Lincoln Center  Aug 20 2019, 12:18:15 PM

MollyJeanneMusic said: "So excited for Harry Hadden-Paton! I got to see him in My Fair Lady, and he was excellent. And I love Carmen from the Bright Star soundtrack.
With all these announcements, you gotta imagine Company will have to announce soon.
Also, if this is nominated for Best Musical, would it be the first Vivian Beaumont musical since Contact?

Don't forget about Light in the Piazza
