According the articles put out in early July, they recorded at the end of the month. So exciting!

What bryan2 said. Alison, to the general public, is basically a nobody and is in a lead role on Broadway. How in the world anyone thinks she’s being jipped in beyond me.
The show needs to make money. Sparks isn’t popular as she once was, but at least people know the name and it can at least spark (no pun intended) some people’s interest in seeing it if they have time or desire for a Broadway show.
On another note - I’m looking forward to seeing the show again this Friday, but

I was speaking to a friend in the show and it was very entertaining seeing them try to explain the show and how over-the-top it is. Definitely going to see this before it closes.
“Q. You told me you met with your counsel to prepare for the deposition. A. Sure. Q. How many times? A. Well, see, I think of time as a continuum. So I think I met with them from the beginning to the end. And the beginning was the start, and then there was the rehearsal, and then there was the preview, and now it’s what I think of as the performance. So, in my mind, I’m answering what you’re asking. If you could be more specific. Do you want hours?
I was able to watch the full play on my bus commute to work this morning, through the PBS Thirteen website. LINK HERE

Yeah, I think all we have time-wise is “sometime Fall 2019”.

Shuffle Along sent out the 8-track soundboard recording. I’m glad something of that show was preserved somewhat professionally.
I can’t remember what else was given out for Legally Blonde, but a rough cut of the cast recording was sent out and then made its way online. Interesting to hear both the rushed and finished versions.
Here’s a neat article on the Tony campaigns from about 15 years ago: http://nymag.com/nymetro/arts/features/9225/
DIANA TO TRANSFER Aug 13

I think a piece based on Diana’s life should be more of a play-with-music than a musical, and it needs a framing device...like her cooperation in the Andrew Morton book. That makes the most sense to me.
I tried enjoying the recording I was given, but...it’s rough as a whole. Hopefully it comes to Broadway almost completely redone, like Soft Power is going to be.
Incident at 8/6 TKAM Aug 7

This stuff is so scary, especially when no one knows for sure what the commotion is about.
At last year’s Citizens Festival, I think just as they were about to announce Janet Jackson (the last act), the entire first half of the festival turned around and started running for their lives towards us in the back. No one knew what was going on, and people started yelling something about a gun, and all of Central Park was a mess of terrified people.

....You’re being playful, right?
Rename a theatre for Hal Prince Aug 2
2019, 11:24:10 PM
I don’t think we will run out of theaters, as there aren’t that many people who have such a profound effect on the industry and art form.
Hal Prince, as said in many articles, is synonymous with Broadway. I don’t think anyone is looking to rename a theater after, say, Idina Menzel.

I remember this documentary, It was on YouTube last year but I don’t see it on there anymore. Will see if I can get a copy to you.

Terrible in what way? I don’t think there’s a bad viewpoint in the theater. Do you mean the seating itself?

Listened to the cast album, watched a few promotional performances on YouTube...this show (IMO) is awful and I do not understand the hype at all.
That being said, congrats to those involved. A job is a job.
Princeton2 said: "Has anyone seen or heard anything about a coffee table book for Frozen? I thought by now the Aladdin one was up for preorder so thought Frozens might be too."
Frozen should be on it’s way in the next few months, I’d imagine. In November they’re releasing the third edition of How Does the Show Go On?: Frozen Edition.
