The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 11 2019, 02:53:26 PM

Here's a teaser...same as posted earlier only widescreen:

Beetlejuice breaks Winter Garden Box Office Records  Dec 2 2019, 08:05:50 PM

Joevitus wrote: This is only a little depressing because Follies premiered at the Winter Garden. 

You've got to put the figures into an inflation calculator. What was FOLLIES' highest gross...adjusted for inflation? Actually, adjusting for inflation probably wouldn't show us anything because premium pricing didn't exist in the 70s, 80s or 90s...

 



Imelda Staunton & Jenna Russell to lead HELLO DOLLY in London  Nov 23 2019, 09:59:45 PM

Jarethan wrote: I have never seen her on stage.  I do know that she has been associated with a lot of stage successes in London, and have wondered whether her problem with Gypsy was that she did not modulate her performance to reflect the fact that she wasn't playing to the third balcony, which a number of London theatre do have. 

Imelda was playing to the far reaches of the theatre in the taped live performance of GYPSY that was released. Her perf


West Side Story Revival will cut I Feel Pretty and Somewhere Ballet  Nov 10 2019, 04:53:04 PM

Just rewatch the best version, the movie with Julie Andrews.

Opinions about JUDY  Oct 8 2019, 01:41:47 PM

The film's release is being handled carefully. It only opened on 461 screens (that same weekend, ABOMINABLE opened on over 4,200 screens). It still managed to crack the top 10 that weekend...and also had one of the highest per-screen averages. Last weekend, the film was on just shy of 1,500 screens and still came in at #7 with a high per-screen average.

This is no threat to JOKER, etc...but it is definitely holding its own and performing beyond initial expectations.



Opinions about JUDY  Oct 7 2019, 12:55:39 PM

The film is definitely increasing interest in Garland...

As of right now, JUDY AT CARNEGIE HALL is ranking as follows on the Amazon charts:

Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #291 in CDs & Vinyl (See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl)

  • #1 in Easy Listening (CDs & Vinyl)

Joe Allen Question  Sep 25 2019, 12:23:10 AM

The cheeseburger at Joe Allen is amazing...at all of their locations: New York, London and Paris.

i remember going to a business dinner in London years ago. Six of us all got cheeseburgers and fries. When we were done, our waiter asked if we’d saved room for dessert. One of my table mates spoke for all of us: “No, just bring another round of cheeseburgers for the table!”

it was slightly embarrassing, but we all appreciated the second round!

Make sure to


Jeff Fenholt dies...  Sep 11 2019, 04:50:55 PM

Richard Linklater - Merrily We Roll Along  Aug 31 2019, 03:44:24 PM

So if this musical is produced like 99.9% of movie musicals, what are the chances we'll be able to hear the soundtrack recording nearly two decades before the movie is released? After all, the songs will be prerecorded...maybe a good number of them have been recorded already! It could be up for a Grammy Award 20 years before the movie is eligible for an Academy Award!

As to whether or not the rooftop scene will take place in 2019... I guess OUR TIME could be sung as the three


What was the first cast recording digitally recorded and released on CD?  Aug 29 2019, 12:02:12 AM

I read once that the first digital recording of a Broadway show was of the 1979 revival of OKLAHOMA!, but that because of some technical issues, an analog back-up master was used for all commercial releases: LP, cassette and, eventually, CD.



 Aug 11 2019, 08:53:16 PM

OP, how was the presentation of the film...just wondering how it looked? Sometimes the Fathom events look great, other times they look like they’re running VHS tape.



Theater Gunshots  Aug 11 2019, 08:32:54 PM

I remember when strobe lights were a thing...

I would just advise that if you see an actor on stage with a weapon, there’s a good chance he or she might use it in the context of the show. Are we really at a place now where we need to know about these things in advance of seeing a performance? I hope not.



Are we nearly at the end of an era for our great musical divas?  Aug 9 2019, 11:55:02 PM

Three, four or more decades ago, the Broadway Divas were nationally recognized names in many instances. Ethel, Carol, Liza, Barbra, Bernadette, Angela and more.

Today, the names Sutton, Cynthia, Jessie, etc. don’t trigger that same recognition. It has nothing to do with their respective talents.. Times and tastes have changed and gone are the days when a Broadway cast album could dominate the charts for weeks, months or even years. National television exp


Last Performance Experiences  Aug 9 2019, 11:29:52 PM

I saw the final performance of the original production of PARADE at Lincoln Center. It was very powerful and moving as the audience was more than peppered with devotees of the show. I still love this show and that performance cemented my love of it.

So far, I think the best recollection in this thread was from the poster who recalled the final performance of FOLLIES; the original Broadway production. I saw it during previews in Boston...
 



The Lion King...Bad.  Aug 9 2019, 11:16:38 PM

OP, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. The fact that the show is approaching it’s 22nd anniversary on Broadway indicates that you are probably in the minority.

It’s not my favorite show, but I would never call it bad...at least not with the productions that I’ve seen on Broadway and in the West End.

Perhaps the production is getting tired. I don’t know as I saw it early on in New York and when it opened in London. I did see a

There are recordings of both shows in the languages you’re interested in.
