^^ I saw Audra in concert at Disney Hall in Los Angeles a number of years ago. Perfection. I’m thinking of making the trek down to Orange County to see her later this month. She is spectacular in concert.
I definitely think multiple nominations spike sales. With Spongebob, though, I feel families are staying away due to the exorbitant ticket prices Broadway is now experiencing. Ticket buyers are thinking more than twice before buying tickets for a family of five.
Even if it were to win in all of its categories, I still think it would struggle at the box office...
I’d love to see it happen, based on the voices involved. I think, though, with all of the controversy over the “missing numbers” from the production, a cast album of this production seems less likely. I hope I’m wrong.
My go-to recording is a mix of the London and Broadway revivals of the Nicholas Hytner production.

I think I either feel really bad for you...or, I just don’t care.
Every time I hit “enter” on the Telecharge website, I immediately cross my fingers and shut my eyes for a few seconds. Sometimes, when I open them, I’ve actually landed where I’ve expected to! Best of luck, Dollypop...based on your proximity to the theatre, I would just go to the box office.

Agreed. I don't think they could make Renee look as bad as Garland looked at the time. You can see, in the closeups, that they've aged her...but it's fascinating to note that Renee is 48 and Garland
I was able to read an early copy of the script. If executed properly, this could be a great movie. Every character in the screenplay is based on a real-life person involved with Garland at that time. No composites. It reminded me of MY WEEK WITH MARILYN...only fiercer...
While I can see Renee acting the part, i can't see her singing as Garland. She just doesn't have it. What’s equally as frustrating is the fact that Garland’s recordings from that period are
Just so glad that my first exposure to CAROUSEL live was at Lincoln Center in 1994.
As I’ve said in an old post, i flew to New York from Los Angeles to see this. I also flew my parents in from Boston to see this with me.
My parents were not really theatre goers, but they loved the production. Several months later, i was watching the Tony Awards back in Los Angeles. All of the sudden, my phone rang and it was my parents calling from Boston. I remember my mothe
Well, none of this sounds as bad as what has been done with the CAROUSEL revival. Still, history should not be rewritten for these times. History is just that, history.
Pal Joey. 1940. “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.” Mmmmmm... Original lyrics? Pushing the envelope is not new. We should be used to it. Bring it on!
I live in Los Angeles now. When I woke up this morning to the news (music doesn't wake me up, it just helps me to sleep), I heard about a Broadway actress that had been hit by a car and her daughter was killed. No names, that was it... I made a mental note to come to this board to find out the who, what, where, etc.
So tonight, while having dinner, I came to Broadwayworld to see if I could get more information...and of course I came across this thread.
I haven't seen the show and I was never a Buffett fan...or Parrothead... So after reading all of these comments I wanted to just listen to some of his music. I selected the album, SONGS YOU KNOW BY HEART, from one of the digital services and I have to say I'm enjoying it.
I don't think I'd enjoy the show, but I'm glad I took a listen to his music on this rainy L.A. day...
