The Stephanie J Block thing is just a rumor - her name was tossed around but no offer went out and she never auditioned. Basically every actress on Broadway has had their name in the mix but it is mostly just discussions. Marianne Elliot is in town for auditions looking for Bobbie's but it sounds like they didn'
The score is awful and it’s the ugliest looking show on Broadway. I saw it a few weeks ago on a Saturday night and it was empty. It will be lucky to last into the fall.

This is a stupid comment. They are making changes.. all the time. Just because they aren’t necessarily huge and noticeable ones to the paying public doesn’t mean they are just hanging around being complacent. T
I’ve not seen this show yet but this recording is really fun.
Block sounds sensational.. and Michaela Diamond . not sure what Emily Skinner is going for though, is she better In the context of the show?
LOVE The beat goes on.. that alone makes me want to see the show. Like TINA though, it’s really hard to get excited about people impersonating the performers on a recording- it just makes me want to hear the real thing.
They will either have a filler show..or not. That I don’t know. All I know is that Tina has booked this theatre for an October opening. An announcement is going to be made in the next few weeks.

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