Yeah I think the Young Vic is technically off West End. Also, I saw the proscenium staging at the Public and it worked beautifully. I don't think it'll take away from the show at all.
I don't know why I expected anything else from qolbinau but it's still effing hilarious that he linked to Wikipedia articles to justify his Islamophobia.
Anyway, who cares about the Special Tony Award? It's not as though they *have* to award it every year, and in fact some years they don't, but it's for something that doesn't fit into traditional categories that is deemed "worthy." While the length of Springsteen's run may be longer than a lo
Papi2013 said: "If it is the Sher staging they are touring with then I am curious as to how it will be received by touring audiences. They seem to be less pretentious than the NY crowd. I don’t think the framing device will fly. Of course.. if they got a very warm Tevye it might work."
The framing device didn't work in New York either, for the record. It's nothing to do with an audience being "pretentious," more like it was a ridiculous idea t
I thought Michael John LaChiusa's Giant was absolutely begging for a transfer. I know his musicals haven't had much commercial success but it would have been just stunning in a larger space.
Wow. Y'all are salty as hell. I don't care for her either and I fully believe many of the rumors about her being a pain to work with but there's no need to say "her poor husband" or write a full paragraph on how she should start a family and give up show business (????? misogyny 101).
Is he into music at all? I'd investigate some of the music venues around the city and see if there's anything he's interested in seeing so he can have a nice time while you're at the theatre. I really like seeing stuff at Joe's Pub in particular, but there's tons of smaller music venues around. To be honest I don't know if I'd recommend The Band's Visit for someone who doesn't like theatre, and it definitely isn't a comedy. I absolutely LOVED it and
The Starbucks has been there for over a decade at least, that's not where the Broadway store and other souvenir shops were. There used to be a pathway from Broadway into the parking lot entrance of the Marriott, next to where the box office for the theatre used to be (which is now on 46th street). The shops were on either side of that pathway, across the parking lot from the Starbucks. But they've been closed down for a number of years now, and they've been renovating the Marriott
Having gone to AMDA for a year (and then I bounced and went to an actual college), I would very strongly advise against it. Some grads might get defensive and it's like...fine for some people but they aren't an accredited educational institution and if you do decide to go on to a BA/BFA your credits won't transfer, unless things have changed since I was there.
Anyway, as far as the audition, it was pretty chill. The interview was super short and not difficult.
To reduce Angels in America to being a play about AIDS is to fundamentally misunderstand the play. Angels is ultimately a play about...well, everything, but it's largely about hope and perseverance and forgiveness. Roy Cohn may be a villain (and he was in real life), but we also see him experience a real fear of dying and he is confronted directly by the terrible things he's done through the vision of Ethel Rosenberg. While the play is centered around the AIDS crisis, in some ways it&
I'm not seeing this until Saturday night but I watched clips this morning and I'm SO EXCITED. I've been wanting to see this show forever!
Also, I saw James Snyder in Fanny at Encores! a few years ago (as others in this thread did) and was absolutely blown away by his voice and performance. I'd love for him to get a starring role in a classic Broadway musical, or just a musical that is truly worthy of his talent. He's really special and it's strange to me t
I am generally not especially picky about seats and partial view stuff but imo the partial view seats in the Anspacher are particularly bad. I wouldn't pay any amount of money to sit in them.
I'd honestly be very surprised if Chris Evans were to sign regularly given that he's been extremely vocal about the fact that conventions and premieres and such make him incredibly anxious.
If the call starts at 10 that list will be full well before 10, at least in my experience. And I wouldn't bet on checking in for the Waitress call at 2 either. Non-Eq/EMC lists are really intense for Broadway shows and big tours and people get there quite early.
I've loved The Fantasticks since I was very small. It's such a beautiful and sweet and surprisingly profound little show. I also absolutely love 110 in the Shade. Thanks, Harvey Schmidt.
