Andrea is 72 and she looks damn good. This news was certainly surprising, but she's keeping her typical good humor...and I hope she recovers fast. One of my all-time faves
Kim as an adult only appears in the final scene, where she does her Charleston. She goes offstage and the actress quick-changes back into older Magnolia. In the final moment, when Ravenal is reunited with his daughter, it's an ensemble actress wearing Kim's costume- her face is turned to the back of the stage.
SHOW BOAT is one of my all-time favorites and Magnolia is a dream role, but the show is done so infrequently that I'll probably never get to play her...
Hey, fellow musical theatre writer here! If you like, you guys can also check out my F. Scott Fitzgerald-inspired musical, "Summer's Child," which was performed in concert in 2017 and will hopefully be seen again this year.
The new installment is out: Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan combining their resumes with a mashup of "Ten Minutes Ago" and L5Y: "The Next Ten Minutes Ago."
I too am an artist, obviously, and have only been paid for it three times for a total of $175. You don't need to preach what's being said on that graphic, my friend...boy do I get it.
Building off what Whizzer said about the Tonys, I wonder how this category will play out. It's the ultimate duel of "traditional" vs. "re-envisioned" when it comes to classic musicals.
Not sure what's so suspicious about that, BrodyFosse...
And Tom5, the work in question is a strong original story. I don't know where you got the 5-minute scene thing from.
Look, all I'm saying is that I have a musical that I'm curious as to whether or not would work as a film one day. I would never in a million years want to steal anything from anybody or what have you.
I would say on spec- most of the material, and all the music, is already written. It's the formatting that I have trouble with, which is where a collaborator could come in
1. Whizzer, how do you manage to find the time and resources to see previews for almost everything on Broadway. I am continually amazed by and admire your tenacity for the cause. :)
2. Generally, what kind of shows benefit most from being intermission-less? Is it teen musicals? Few-character plays? Some other factor?
What are some of your favorite musical screenplays (make sure you include who adapted/wrote them)!
In a similar vein, I want to see how one of my musicals could work as a screenplay. If there are any screenwriters on this forum who'd be willing to adapt for me, let me know.
Sweet, soft-spoken Laura Osnes is playing the explosive, filter-less Shirley MacLaine? I find this so hard to envision. Still excited for the show- it might be the first of these that I actually get into.
"fascinating production history" is the understatement of the year. How in the world did BMC get so popular so fast? I know the internet was a primary channel, but why? What is this show's X factor?
I'm with Jordan. Props to Audra and whatnot, but being nude on stage is something I would never be comfortable with. Was the last revival with Edie Falco good?
Greensgreens, do you know who wrote this "score that never was?"
If it's really that good, I wonder why on Earth they'd abandon the idea. I felt that Clueless, of all things, needed a cast recording of fun NEW 90s-inspired tracks.
