Taylor Louderman’s honesty Sep 13
2019, 11:26:15 AM
While I applaud her honesty, this isn’t the first time she’s talked about this. When Kinky Boots closed l, she said that it was the show that reinstated her love of performing. Methinks this is just not the profession for her.

This thread inspired me to go back and give the London and LA cast recordings a listen, as well as skimming through my personal recordings of the revival. It’s really too bad that they didn’t record a new one for the 2017 production, that orchestra was just wonderful - and Glenn’s vocal performance was even better than her first run.
I hope someday we can see a recreation of that set. It would be an insanely cool museum piece.
West Side Story revival? Sep 7

The marketing for this is so, so boring. Nothing about this excites me and WSS is one of my favorite musicals. Who chose the color scheme and why?

As I said in the previously deleted thread - Mr. Vereen took responsibility for his actions and issues a public apology. He’s done more than a lot of people in this industry have.

Jordin Sparks’ debut performance is the last day available for Broadway Week tickets, in case anyone is interested in that deal.
Disney's ALADDIN filmed for release Sep 2
2019, 05:34:19 PM
I wonder if past rumors of other shows going to the West End (but never actually materialized) were plans of getting the shows filmed for release.
Colleen’s portrayal would have been funnier had she actually done the Miranda voice. She’s cute, but everyone else I have seen has done more with the role. However, Colleen is more of a performer for film/TV/video than stage, so it makes sense.
Looks like Alison’s playbill will be out for September.

No one said you couldn’t state your opinion...? I was just stating mine. I also never said any of the things you’re mentioning. Per usual, magictodo123, you’re getting riled up about things that haven’t been said or brought up in the first place.

“Alison is criminally underappreciated right now”
Every single person under the age of 20 online keeps going on and on about how “amazing” “outstanding” “incredible” she is and that “she’s the BEST Jenna”. She’s far from underappreciated, if anything she’s getting overhyped.
She’s a fine Jenna, but her performance is pretty standard. I personally didn’t get half of the layers in the character as I did with other actresses. She sings the score as a musical theatre actor does.

...I haven’t seen anyone act as if it’s the end of the world. The only overdramatic comment I see is this one.

In my opinion, this current cast is the most “serviceable”. I’m spoiled because I have seen so many wonderful casts, so maybe my standard is higher than it should be.
Colleen and Todrick - I saw one of their first performances. They’re fun. Not really standout, especially when you think of other actors that have taken over these roles, but they check the boxes. Todrick gave Ogie little physically moments and adlibs that make the character his own.

There is a discount/promo code thread with codes for Tina. There is a search option at the top of the board, or go back a page and it should be there.
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?
