West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 12:45:14 PM

Pose2 said: "And posters like JoeVitus, who defended Amar over 50 times, is a troll and instigator who defends sexual predators and slut shames women."

I agree with you on the substance of the debate you had with JoeVitus on the relevant thread, but I have to disagree on the personal characterization. JoeVitus disagreed with your position vigorously but reasonably politely. He was far more civil in tone than other posters were to him. 



Next projects by successful musical writers?  Aug 20 2019, 01:14:31 PM

That's a great list!

I can fill in one more: Cyndi Lauper has been working on a Working Girl musical.

Beanie Feldstein to play Monica Lewinsky in the next FX 'American Crime' series  Aug 8 2019, 08:55:09 AM

CurtainPullDowner said: "It will certainly be a topic to show the hypocrisy of bringing up frump's sexual proclivities."

I would think that a show frankly exposing Clinton's own sexual aggression, produced by a liberal Democrat, would have precisely the opposite effect: it would legitimize attacks on Trump's sexual crimes.



How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Aug 1 2019, 09:32:32 AM

Elfuhbuh said: "Into the Woods is overrated, but speaking as someone who loves Phantom, I'll say I can see why it didn't win Best Score, given that it IS basically the same six tunes repeated over and over again."

This claim, or something like it, has been made several times on this thread, but it's demonstrably false.

Here are ten full-length, individual songs from the show:

"Think of Me"
"Angel of Music"

How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Jul 30 2019, 10:34:12 AM

helvizz said: "There's one I actually hate: in the second act, when Raoul is trying to convince Christine to go with his plan, and they play the same notes of Prima Donna. Makes no sense in my opinion."

Well, this may be a bit superficial, but in both cases the object is to persuade someone to do something they're reluctant to do: the managers want to overcome Carlotta's indignation and get her to appear on stage again, and Raoul, as you said, wants Chris


How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Jul 30 2019, 10:18:09 AM

Lot666 said: "kair enough, but what do you think ALW would say about his use of musical themes in Phantom, if asked?"

Although I don't love Phantom, I'm actually quite pro-ALW, and I have no doubt that a great deal of thought goes into creating his best scores. Years ago, in fact, I had a website that analyzed the score of Aspects of Love in rather excruciating detail!



How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Jul 30 2019, 09:26:29 AM

Lot666 said: "Did you have a private audience with Mr. Sondheim, during which he shared this developmental information with you, or should you have prefaced this statement with those all-important-but-usually-omitted three words, "In my opinion..."?"

You can read about Sondheim's use of various musical themes in the relevant chapter in Sondheim on Music. I don't have it in front of me now, but I believe he wrote out an explicit list of


Bag Storage near Theatres  Jul 29 2019, 01:29:23 PM

I recently stayed at the Hotel Edison, on 47th Street, and checked bags without being asked whether I was staying there. It was a dollar per bag (plus a tip). 



Has anyone recognized actors anywhere but a show?  Jul 25 2019, 01:04:13 PM

I'm not the best at recognizing celebrities, but it's happened to me a few times. The most memorable incident was when I saw Daphne Rubin-Vega waiting for the subway at 23rd St. and she sat next to me when we got on the train. I mentioned how much I liked her in Bernarda Alba (as well as how much I admired the show itself), and we then had a nice little conversation. She was extremely gracious and friendly, and complimented my NOH8 tattoo. Yondr Pouches  Jul 23 2019, 02:41:03 PM

zainmax said: "Read somewhere that the next upgrade with use tech to wirelessly unlock all pouches at once."

This would go a long way in addressing my personal concerns about the pouches. As a complete non-offender, I would definitely resent any delay in leaving the theater because of the sins of those who use their phones during a performance.



Conclusions that elevate the entire show  Jul 23 2019, 08:58:11 AM

The ending of Light in the Piazza - the song "Fable," essentially - elevates an already great show to "top five" status for me. I can't think of many other musicals that end with a song that's brand new and as substantial and beautiful as this one. 

Another great work that's pushed even higher by its ending is Angels in America. Somehow, by concluding on such an intimate note, the final scene makes everything that ca


Supermarkets on Stage  Jul 12 2019, 08:34:21 AM

This is a really minor one, but at least parts of "Jesus of Suburbia" from American Idiot were staged outside a 7-11 (as implied by the lyrics).



West Side Story revival?  Jul 12 2019, 08:14:41 AM

LuPita2 said: "GeorgeandDot,

Only with toxic males who contributeto rape culture (they don't matter). Everyone else has been pretty supportive of the victims involved.
"

I agree with you, not Joe, on the substance of this debate. However, if you're implying that Joe himself is a toxic male contributing to rape culture because of his spirited but civil disagreement with your judgments on this matter (and mine), then I can't agree with that. I thi


Moulin Rouge Previews  Jul 6 2019, 09:52:52 AM

When I saw the Boston production - which I otherwise loved - I was slightly irritated that there was no resolution to the Duke's story line. There was no indication of what happens to him or what he does at the end, and that seemed to be a big loose end. Have they addressed that at all for the Broadway production?



2018-2019 shows that have recouped?  Jul 6 2019, 09:45:01 AM

Yero my Hero said: "Of course it should, because the term "recoup" is meaningless and irrelevant to the way nonprofits finance shows."

I do appreciate the distinction between commercial and nonprofit productions, but I have to imagine that the boards of directors of Roundabout and Lincoln Center Theater have a pretty good idea about which productions have put money in their bank accounts, and approximately how much. 



Least Favorite Characters  Jul 2 2019, 08:28:10 AM

Aside from a few of the ones already mentioned, I really dislike Carl-Magnus from A Little Night Music. He's creepy and selfish but also completely toothless - not just unlikable but entirely uninteresting. Regardless of who plays Carl-Magnus, I find him a chore to watch in an otherwise clever and charming show.



Cursed theatres / Lucky theatres  Jun 26 2019, 02:53:52 PM

JSquared2 said: "Actually, no it can't be answered by "analyzing data". You can't measure "luck" --- you can only measure levels of success based on what shows have played in a particular theatre."

Of course I agree with you as you’ve stated it, but it seems like the gyst of the conversation has revolved around the simpler question of which theaters have hosted shows with long or short runs.



Cursed theatres / Lucky theatres  Jun 26 2019, 02:30:14 PM
I think you’d have to put the Winter Garden on the “lucky” side, too. Ultimately this is a question that can be answered pretty precisely through the analysis of data that’s readily available, though I demur from taking on the project. :)

Moulin Rouge Previews  Jun 24 2019, 02:40:19 PM

Or Moulin Rouge', which is rather derivative.



Does the box office know about understudy appearances  Jun 24 2019, 02:20:01 PM

I'm sure I'm not the only one who, every so often, actively tries to see a particular understudy or standby. This was the case for me with American Idiot, where I succeeded in seeing Van Hughes play each of the three guys. Currently, I'd love to see what Timothy Hughes does with the part of Hades.
