NBC will present THE GRINCH musical this December starring Morrison Dec 10

Some of those criticisms where unnecessarily personal towards Matthew Morrison. They just used his role on Glee to attack him. That show ended almost 6 years ago.
One countered their own argument the very next sentence saying that he didn’t make his own interpretation and then going on to describe his interpretation , like Elvis. Also there was the critic that that he was between over the top ( Carrey) and understated Cumberbatch)” which means ... normal!

According to IMDb, julia knowles, the screen director of this also directed the British reality show the greatest dancer. Matthew Morrison was a judge on that for both seasons. The last episode aired just before the pandemic hit. That might explain how that casting originated.

Matthew Morrison is obviously having a ball but I don’t know weather to be scared or to laugh.

Hellen Mirren Against Reading Shakespeare in Schools Nov 29
2020, 04:36:45 AM
The storyline of several of Shakespeare plays have been inspiration for movies. For example The Lion King and 10 things I hate about you. There was also a josh hartnett movie based on othello called “O” that was postponed out of respect to the Columbine school shooting in 1999.
I struggled with English at school and never was interested in taking it beyond the minimum level required for graduation and college admission as a STEM major. Most kids are not advanced or will have an inh

How exactly is the character supposed to sound? I have seen most of jim carreys movies and he sounded mostly the same as the grinch as normal except for a growl.

The first time I remember truly liking Shakespearean language was while watching Leonardo DiCaprios Romeo and Juliet movie. Hearing it properly from talented actors made such a big difference. It sounded beautiful and poetic and the visuals helped to understand what was going on when you didn’t understand the dialogue. I agree that making teenagers painfully read passages out aloud in class is a bad method. I hated those classes.

2020, 09:45:05 AM
Many jobs does require you to prove to having certain vaccinations to be employed. The difference is that there isn't a fresh measles or TB epidemic at the moment so that requirement doesn't go beyond certain high risk activities

Anything that gets asymptomatic people to get tested Is a great thing. So many young adults use ticketmaster, a group with a disproportionate positivity rate.

Broadway Cast moral code? Oct 29
2020, 06:12:26 PM
Why ? If having a consensual relationship isn’t an Issue why should it matter what their job titles are?
In a broadway show is it ok for an a list lead to hook up with an understudy or a makeup artist?

HR policy’s that discourages relationships between employees is at least partially due to sexual harassment concerns though.
I completely understand the difference between what’s appropriate and inappropriate in the workplace but the messiness of human behaviour means that employers have to lean on the conservative side.

No amount of boldness or creativity can overcome the fact that it's financially impossible to run a commercial Broadway show at25% capacity, unless tickets are astronomically high, and without tourists, there will be very few people willing to pay those astronomical prices.."
I have never studied economics and even I can say that you can by cutting costs to under 25%. Cut the orchestra, hire musician/ actors to play their own instruments lik

I am disappointed that the broadway community seem to have just thrown up their hands and refusing to return until the conditions are 100% pre COVID. Where is the creativity and boldness that the performing arts are supposed to represent ?
A yoga company came up with the idea of making large bubbles out of shower curtains and wire and conducting classes with everyone in their own one in a outdoor area.

Disney announced that black widow was postponed at the same time. Maybe It’s just as simple as they saw the streaming numbers for Mulan and decided not to go the same route with these two movies.
Also the new opening date makes it clear that it’s still considered a serious Oscar contender ( assuming COVID doesn’t screw with their timetable too).
