Helen Shaw takes down both BOM and Hamilton on Vulture  Dec 19 2019, 11:16:21 AM

Did I agree with everything in the article? No. Did I think it was overall well thought out and far? Yes.

I haven't seen BOM since the first performance after it won the Tonys, and I loved it. but that was almost nine - nine! - years since it first came to Broadway, and until today I never really thought about how the humor lands with the huge turn in people's sensibilities. And the fact that they never released b-roll and a few production shots means a lot of people are still


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 16 2019, 10:20:07 PM

Tag said: "Surprised that the new Swift/Webber song is not shortlisted for Oscar consideration."

I'm not a fan of the song, but I have to say I'm surprised too. When a stupid song like "Catchy Song" from the Lego Movie sequel gets shortlisted before you...



West End CAROLINE OR CHANGE revival at Roundabout in 2020  Dec 12 2019, 04:04:32 PM

I'm excited to see Caissie play something different in a limited run. It's really the first time she gets to play more than the ingenue/heroine, and I'd like to see her play those sides.



The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 12 2019, 03:58:42 PM

Fun and revealing trailer breakdown with John M. Chu in Empire Magazine. To answer one question:

In a new addition for the movie, he’s seen telling his story to a group of kids on a beach somewhere that looks decidedly unlike New York. “That's a new framing device,” Chu confirms. “We're in a different era. Washington Heights is past gentr


The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 12 2019, 10:40:11 AM

I'll admit, I was really worried about this one, but based on the full trailer, it looks like the material and the director really did turn out to a perfect fit.

The framing device really doesn't bother me that much. Maybe that hideous facial hair while he's telling the story is meant to denote passage of time, so maybe later on in time he did move on from the block. 



Ruben & Clay Christmas back next year?  Dec 11 2019, 10:13:06 PM

To me, it sounded like there is really nothing planned, and they just gave some answers to placate the overly excited Meghan. That said, they sounded great on The View, maybe they should just stick to the singing and leave out the schtick. 



The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 11 2019, 04:27:30 PM

I got a lot of comments about Ramos' ring of facial hair in that "made of music" line...but instead, I'll just say overall it looks really pretty and full of color, which I don't mind. It's a musical.



WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 10 2019, 07:45:34 PM

joevitus said: "Oh, the hubris!

I'm being sarcastic. Yes, the dance music was written to Robbins' choreography, but to say he was one of the authors is a bit like saying Michael Bennett was one of the authors of Follies. You can do WSS without using Robbins' choreography. Not saying it will be as good, but the show can easily be done without it.

I still don't get why people are so up in arms about one single production. You can watch the movie. Y


Ari'el Pulls out of Lincoln Center Joseph; Noah Galvin to replace him  Dec 10 2019, 10:30:47 AM

Sad to hear but even more sad they couldn't cast another Middle Eastern actor to take over the role. I love Noah but he's certainly not. 



Why do theaters sell twizzlers and other noisy snacks  Dec 9 2019, 12:23:37 PM

What's the point of them telling us at the start of the show to open any cough drop wrappers when it takes approximately 30 minutes after intermission to eat one small package of M&M's? What I don't get is down the street in any direction of a theatre there's a CVS or Duane Reade they have candy in small boxes which would make so much more sense. 



Samantha Barks to play Elsa in the West End production of FROZEN  Dec 5 2019, 09:51:55 PM

I'd rather sing any song in Frozen than revisit the wholly unmemorable tunes of Pretty Woman. 



Michael Jackson musical will blame sex abuse allegations on the glove  Dec 4 2019, 10:46:00 PM

I find it very weird that a news article on this site would post this article without clearly identifying that the musical in question is not the Broadway-bound one. Yes, the original article from THR doesn't mention it, but on the other hand, that's not a Broadway site. The News Desk needs to do better. 



Telecharge down?  Dec 4 2019, 09:57:54 AM

I've had the issue on and off for the past week, on multiple browsers and computers, it freezing as it tries to load the seat plan. Yesterday my friend was freezing at the choose a date calendar. I resorted to calling to make a booking.



Jordan Fisher—DEH  Dec 3 2019, 07:27:48 PM

The only way I'd really consider this "stunt casting" is that he's in the sequel to that Netflix movie To All The Boys I've Loved Before during his run. Otherwise, this is a guy that has proven his musical theatre chops, whether it be on television, or in Hamilton - and you saying Hamilton stunt casts?



Broadway actors moving to California  Nov 30 2019, 03:10:39 PM

Even a show that's cancelled after a season can mean some money and a foot in the door with casting folks in LA and general public. And if they luck out, like Barrett Foa or Jessie Tyler Ferguson it's over a decade of steady work and money in the bank and to allow hiatus and post-show freedom of choice.

At the very least, do one Hallmark holiday movie and that leads to a million more. Nice work if you can get it.



2019 thanksgiving parade broadway performances  Nov 29 2019, 01:59:41 PM

I have to say, TINA really impressed me, and later at dinner with the family, that was the one show that they all mentioned interest in. Beetlejuice was a lot of fun. Ain't Too Proud was good but I think it went on a little too long. Hadestown barely left an impression, it just didn't work out there on the street and out of context. 

Mean Girls was kind of depressing, actually. It looked like it was filmed in a vacuum and the principal cast barely seemed interested to be t


What seats to purchase for Chicago?  Nov 27 2019, 11:08:26 AM

I actually love seeing the show from first row orchestra, but then again I've seen it dozens of times so I know where to look. But it's not big theatre so really anywhere is fine, but I like orchestra, just definitely get an aisle if you can. (Front row orchestra is a ton of leg room.)



The Little Shop got extended till March 8!  Nov 26 2019, 03:56:35 PM

I was upset I waited to see Glick, only to miss him, but now I'm so thrilled I'll have more chances to see him and the show finally!



EVITA transfer?  Nov 25 2019, 02:40:16 PM

Now that they ripped the band-aid off the "well she's not Patti LuPone" reviews that Elena was forced to endure, I think another revival might actually work. I'd love to think some version of the Regent's Park version might make it to Broadway, especially since Jamie Lloyd is still a hot name right now. 



Taylor Swift Musical?  Nov 25 2019, 02:34:20 PM

While she has a way with a hook, I find her lyrics for the most part are wholly self-centered, with no part of any blame for any of these failed relationships. So I can't imagine anything remotely deep of a musical.
