Having seen many productions here I can tell you they make very good use of the entire theater. ..there are many entry steps and during Miss Saigon and CHess they had people entering and exiting throughout the theater using the steps...I am sure that will be how they have Norma enter..(I don't see them building a staircase or scaffolding ..but they do seem to think of unique ways to use ever bit of the space...you will not be disappointed …..as far as Alice Ripley..it seems so gimm
t the bottom line...money....people are complaining about the "stunt casting" of .Jordin Sparks, she may not be a huge name but she is certainly more than Allison (no shade meant ) and curiosity factor alone will bring in money. The show is great and all the Jennas have also been great, but the bottom line is you have to fill the seats. Allison most certainly signed a contract and I am sure it is in the contract about tagging out to someone else at some point. To say she got g
Ok kids lets talk about the bottom line...money.....Jordin Sparks may not be a name but she is certainly more than Allison (no shade meant ) and curiosity factor alone will bring in money. The show is great and all the Jennas have also been great, but the bottom line is you have to fill the seats. Allison most certainly signed a contract and I am sure it is in the contract about tagging out to someone else at some point. To say she got gypped ,,,,she is starring in a Broadway show as the lead
The Tony voters are basically picking favorites from what I can see. Stephanie is great but a drag queen could have played Cher..it wasn't a great performance it was basically an imitation ooooohhh ...it wasn't award winning and she won because she has been so good for so many years ..this was her time for the payback,, another example of it being a pretty meaningless award ( Caitlin Kinnunen deserved this 100 percent for a full rounded 100 percent original character) &n
I just heard a live clip of her in the London cast...and wondered why she did not replace Chita here in the states?? Sorry if this has been asked before. I am not a huge fan of her singing but she can dance and was pretty famous at that time....just curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw7ol3MZ-OQ
Can someone please explain what Alice RIpley has that I am not seeing.
I have seen her n Tommy and Sunset Blvd (6x) and still have only enjoyed her in Sideshow and I basically think her voice only works in that because of how great Emily is with her. In Sunset everytime she came on the stage I was bored...my friends would laugh because they knew that I thought she was so bland and dull as a performer. When I finally saw someone else (Sioban in the reboot with glenn) I was surprised how
As great as she was ...and she was off the chain great...it was a supporting role and should have been nominated as a supporting role. . I always thought it that had it she been nominated in the correct category both Andrea and Her would have won Tonys ! Please do not think I am knocking her performance or ability but the show was not called MIss Hannigan...it was Annie and that was the lead ...not Hannigan..It is something I still don't understand
I just read in one of these posts that JHUD is all wrong for Grizabella because Grizabella doesn't have a powerhouse voice..she doesn't....WHAT have you never heard Betty Buckley sing Memory...I don't know if Jennifer is the right choice but her vocal power is perfect for the character....WOW I am still wondering who this person saw sing Memory
Beyoncé new song is horrible and she drowns out Glover in Can you feel the love...WHY WHY WHY...it amazes me that she wrote that song SPIRIT and she sings it in a key she can not reach (to low) not a huge fan I find her beautiful but so average as a singer...and as an actress she is again average...but spectacular to look at

This was directed at all those who basically wanted to be proven right that She would suck.none of the reviews have been negative so I am assuming that she is pretty good. There seem to be a lot of Betty Haters here on these boards. If you are not one and that’s your opinion .. great this isn’t directed at you. I think her interpretation would be quite different from Bette as she is a different kind of performer. I like different takes on roles.she was a much different and in my opinion better

Funny how every review for Betty has been great. This place is full of people who need get a life haters
I would prefer that she do her own singing, just like you don't have to look like the person you are playing in the film , you just need to interpret the person and in song I believe she just has to make sure she puts the song across so it feels like Garland. I actually hate the lip synching when it is a real person, it takes me out of the film, I hated when Jamie Foxx did it and hated when Ramy did it ...you could tell from the speaking voice to the singing voice it didn't connect fo
Having seen Legs I can tell you that the actual show was really bad. The recording is very good I think and in the theater the songs were great, but the main problem was Peter Allen ..he was Peter Allen not a character just himself ...as Harvey Fierstein said he knew they were in trouble when Peter didn't even get entrance applause. (most people didn't know who he was that were in the audience) ..if you watch Will and Grace...Beverly Lesley is about as masculine as Peter was...just so
to me the way Lin Manuel Miranda did it works best...he worked it into the song/rap and it was clear and in character. The Patti Lupone method of castrating the person is jarring and I think Laura should have just stayed in character and said politely SHUT THE FKG PHONE OFF lol..it would have been funny and effective. I hate when they go off..but I do see more people texting and that is a bigger distraction as the light on the phone keeps going on and on.. I just think people ar
