CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 19 2019, 10:46:35 PM

jacobsnchz14 said: "Justin D said: "ok, well, one other exception, poor Judy, Addressing of Cats was a real let down."

Watch it in context and let me know if you feel the same.
"

Having caught it tonight, I will vouch for the fact that “The Addressing of Cats” is a low-point in an already dreadful movie. The Empire 25 audience openly laughed at Dench’s scenes.

Not to derail the thread (not that it's on rails to begin with), but there's nothing stopping anyone from getting up at a movie, using the restroom, and returning to their seat. In the theater, not only is it considered rude and

WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 10 2019, 03:10:08 PM

I really believe that if Danel Fish's Oklahoma had opened on Broadway cold, it would have been decimated on the boards. I'm very interested to see what Ivo does. He's a director whose work I often love (View from the Bridge, Little Foxes, Crucible) but have utterly despised (Angels in America, All about Eve). What I truly worry about is that audiences will rebel, producers will force more traditional choices, and by the time it opens, this could be in no man's land stuck betwe

Your Top 10 Shows This Decade  Nov 27 2019, 09:41:28 AM

I've included only new shows but opened it up to off-Broadway. There have been some incredible works in the past decade! Here are ten that knocked me out:

Taylor Mac’s 24 Hour History of Popular Music

An Octoroon

Scottsboro Boys

Hamilton

The Inheritance

Love in Hate Nation at Two River  Nov 19 2019, 08:21:45 PM
My utterly biased perspective: Joe Iconis is the 21st century’s Frank Wildhorn. Utterly without talent but inexplicably beloved by some and continuing to get produced in spite of his failures.

2020 Armory Season -Icke's Hamlet + Oresteia, Enda Walsh, Bill T. Jones  Nov 12 2019, 05:03:47 PM
Icke’s Oresteia is one of the best productions I’ve ever seen and certainly the best presentation of any Greek classic that I’ve had the privilege of attending, like your concerns about his Hamlet, JBroadway, I’m unsure how something I saw at the small, intimate Almeida will be scaled up for the enormity of the Armory, but suffice to say, I will gladly buy a ticket to plunge myself back in for another 5ish hours of breathtaking theater-going.

The Inheritance - Previews  Nov 2 2019, 10:44:10 AM
Clever2, I admire the way you’ve engaged with the play. So often, it seems like responses to work are encouraged to be binary. I liked it. I hated it. When a much more interesting response is: It’s complicated.

And I think the issue that is most complicated for me that you bring up is how the play handles (and doesn’t) race and ethnicity. It’s true that characters of color are left mostly off the canvas, or at the very least relegated to the sidelines. So what to make of the fact that t


The Inheritance - Previews  Nov 1 2019, 06:54:34 PM
I can hear and understand the critiques of this—that it’s melodramatic (yup), that it isn’t at great as Angels or Howard’s End (few things are), or that it’s overhyped (expectations are so, so tricky)—but purely based on my own emotional reaction, how thought-provoking the piece was, and how utterly invested I was, I can’t think of a more dazzling show in the past year or two. Lopez’s play is so ambitious, and it’s hard to imagine a more triumphant directorial vision than that of Daldry here or

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 10/27/19  Oct 28 2019, 03:18:51 PM

I'm not rooting for people to lose their jobs, but with these numbers, wouldn't closing Lightning Thief just be a mercy killing?



In defense of Tootsie  Oct 21 2019, 07:51:51 PM
I’m with others here. I found it totally enjoyable and brilliantly cast with a serviceable score. Enjoyed it sincerely without loving it but understand people who did adore it AND people who were disappointed. Still think Sarah Styles was robbed of her rightful Tony.

THE WHO'S TOMMY Will Return to Broadway in 2021  Oct 21 2019, 07:34:35 PM
The original gave us the Broadway debuts of Michael Cerveris, Sherie Rene Scott, Alice Ripley, and Norm Lewis. It was also the first show I ever saw on Broadway. I don’t have isn’t great deas for who should be in the revival, but I already feel hugely nostalgic and excited.

Broadway’s “Memphis” 10 Years Later...  Oct 19 2019, 03:45:01 PM

ljay889 said: "Memphis is probably the worst “Best Musical” winner that I’ve ever seen. I thought it was dreadful and very pedestrian. "

Agreed! I’ve seen every winner since 1997 (and some from before), and this is far and away the very worst. The racial politics are at best juvenile but for me move into outright problematic. The score is dreadful, and the book is worse. That it won over American Idiot and Fela is a travesty. Neither was


MJ The Musical officially opening on Broadway Summer 2020  Oct 10 2019, 10:44:11 AM

They're seriously going through with this? Yikes.



EVITA City center  Oct 9 2019, 07:36:50 PM
I don’t know the three people cast, and that would be fine if there was really anything else to go on. But we have a director with few credits to her name AND actors with thin bios. It might be great, but there’s nothing for people to latch onto and say, “This aspect is why I fee certain it will work.” And as I personally learned from the revival, Evita is not a show I wanna any to see a subpar production of. I’ll hold off until folks have seen it. I hope it’s good. That would be lovely! But for

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 10/6/19  Oct 7 2019, 04:15:49 PM

I agree that The Inheritance is a super tough sell, and opinions are pretty sharply divided on it. Will be curious how reviews are and whether they're spike attendance. Will confess that I really hope so. I adore the play. But truly, it's a sad state that of the 9 new plays on Broadway, only Mockingbird and Harry Potter are earning over 50% capacity. 



The Wrong Man  Oct 7 2019, 12:29:48 PM

Have to agree with some of the earlier commenters--Joshua Henry is fantastic, but even his talents aren't strong enough to save this disastrous new musical. The story is miles beyond credulity, and the score may be catchy, but it's certainly not good. I don't blame anyone on stage for what I saw--the cast did what they could. But I absolutely hated this. It felt interminable.
