Er, NO. They work on the show so I’m hardly going to name them,



KING KONG - Previews  Oct 6 2018, 06:01:36 PM

Running costs are over $1million a week. 

 

This is show is doomed without rave reviews.

Exactly.

There are some here who are so fixated that they would have suggested LauraBenanti and/or Sutton Foster to play Christopher in Curious Incident.
"

 

Its so dull, every time the same names are mentioned..Benanti, Foster or O’Hara. To hell with if they are suitable. I couldn&rsquo

Apart from the fact that the strong word of mouth is that Patti isn’t very good in this...

imeldasturn said: "No it's not extensively rewritten, they added a few lines, cut maybe a couple and *I think* changed the position of the second interval. All its problems are still there."

 

Problems? WTF? It’s the most perfect piece of theatre you could ever hope to see. 



THE FERRYMAN Previews  Oct 6 2018, 05:09:33 AM

You are firmly in the minority...



KING KONG - Previews  Oct 6 2018, 05:07:47 AM

Alarm bells rang for me when they decided to use 4 poster designs.,.. who’s stupid idea was that? Any moron knows that for a big show like this to get noticed, it needs to have clear branding. ONE clear brand.

sorry to saw but Drew McOnie is just too inexperienced to helm a show of this scale. Any other director would have demanded the score be rewritten. 



What's Next for the Al Hirschfeld?  Sep 29 2018, 04:08:46 AM

Moulin Rouge...



FERRYMAN question  Sep 28 2018, 03:02:37 PM

I believe there are 3 babies that share the role... and indeed get paid.

the running cost of the whole show is on a par with a musical..thanks to its huge cast.. certainly was in London.

Special event of Dolly? What?



Marin Mazzie Has Passed Away  Sep 15 2018, 01:25:46 PM

How much effort does it take? EVERY theatre should dim their marquees. She was a broadway star, one of its finest.



Girl From The North Country - Public Theater?  Sep 12 2018, 03:45:20 AM

No sadly in London, the ‘plot’ was always a hot mess. I’m fact it was totally unsatisying except when the songs take over, Don’t go to this expecting a great musical.. it ain’t. 



NY Times Journalist's "Body Shaming" in 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' Revew  Jul 23 2018, 03:56:13 PM

The term “Body shaming” is thrown around so casually now and I fear this is one of those cases. I can’t detect and criticism of her body , rather the designer not dressing her accordingly. 

 

It it sounds like a rather over sensitive actress getting some attention for herself. Then again, it must be pretty embarrassing to read comments like that in widely read publications about yourself.

At least it gives Andy Karl some work until he reprieves his role in Groundhog Day in London later this year."

Nowhere has it been mentioned that Andy will reprise his GH role in London, only that Tim Minchin stated there would be a revival this year. I would honestly love for you to provide details on Andy reprising his role in London. Por favor, Anita!

Harry Potter is NOT a great or even good play. It’s an event yes, and exciting to watch, but it’s not good writing.

 

the folks at Frozen must be feeling VERY sore !!

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I did not really care for her as Elphaba when I saw her in the Wicked tour a few years ago, but she is really great in this. Her performance is much more nuanced than Caissie Levy's, and she comes across as more mature.

At the first preview, I was sitting the orchestra and had a great v

Thankyou for that..such wonderful memories came flooding back watching that. A truly sensational production..one that will never be improved upon, THAT CAROUSEL!!!!

It is a hobby of mine and I pay my own way when we attend discounted performances, which I acquire through local group sales. If I get comped into any of the SF touring shows I also treat one of my friends with my plus-one ticket. I am also extremely lucky that I can travel to NYC and support the B

MARGARITAVILLE Cast Album Out  Feb 16 2018, 05:39:12 PM

Listening to this has really put me off seeing the show. It sounds bad.

 

is there no story?



2018 Revival of Carousel official thread  Jan 24 2018, 04:15:06 PM

Are the main leads scheduled to do all performances? 

Any holiday dates booked in does anyone know? Around May/June I’m thinking
