...JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE Discussion Thread  Sep 12 2019, 05:47:20 PM

I finally watched this over the summer and found it to be mediocre, which means it was better than most of the live musicals.  Probably because I saw the London revival that played the Chicago Lyric Opera before seeing this broadcast.  It's the best production of the show I've ever seen and I highly recommend it everyone.



Chicago Search For Roxie..  Sep 11 2019, 01:43:21 PM

The UK especially has managed to churn out at least one stand out from each of these types of shows. Jessie Buckley, who’s currently a rising star in Hollywood, was a finalist in the search to find Nancy in OLIVER!

I much preferred the winner, Jodie Prenger, who I pegged to win from her initial audition in the first episode.  I actually made a special trip to London just to see her in Oliver.  I spotted her recently in the first episode of Years and Years.<


Will Six be the cheapest musical on Broadway in the past 25 years?  Sep 11 2019, 01:35:25 PM

I'm curious to know if they plan on beefing up the production values for Broadway.  It would add to the capitalization and potentially the running costs, but it could make seeing the Broadway production more attractive to new audiences as well as established fans.



Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy...  Sep 10 2019, 05:10:11 PM

Thanks Mods!  This thread was really starting to freak me out.



Choir = Phys. Ed?  Sep 9 2019, 03:25:30 PM

I took marching band, which was WAY more strenuous than phys ed.



Has their ever been a good sequel to a musical?  Sep 4 2019, 03:37:22 PM

Have you heard the revised US tour version of “The Beauty Underneath?” It’s basically the same but the lead in is different with a bit of music from the Phantom title song worked in and then I think it was the chorus section of the song that was rethought. Did you find that version any better than the original?

Yes, I saw the tour.  The new staging wasn't quite as hideous as the original, but the song itself is just as bad as before, really


Has their ever been a good sequel to a musical?  Sep 4 2019, 01:50:28 PM

I actually prefer the title melody used as "Our Kind of Love" in The Beautiful Game. 

Me, too.  I actually saw both shows in London and Our Kind of Love received an ovation like I've never seen before or since.  Hannah Waddingham had to discretely acknowledge the audience with a slight bow before they allowed the show to continue.  

Love Never Dies does have some lovely music (Coney Island Waltz and Dear Old Friend are among hi


COMMUNTIY REMINDER: There have been articles written about the sexual misconduct of Ben Vereen and William Ivey Long  Sep 4 2019, 01:39:57 PM

COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 29 2019, 06:08:24 PM

I wouldn’t buy Katrina Lenk in a sexual relationship with Matt Doyle. 

Jamie is Bobbi's gay friend.  He performs Not Getting Married.



Best and favorite  Aug 28 2019, 09:02:32 AM

Best and Favorite: Les Miserables

Though I have other favorites that I wouldn't consider "best" in terms of artistic proficiency, I would acknowledge them as "bests" in terms of entertainment for the pure joy they bring to me, which I consider a highly valuable trait in any musical:

Six
Legally Blonde
Two Gentlemen of Verona
Mamma Mia

Mistakes on cast albums  Aug 27 2019, 03:38:29 PM

The 1981 Korean cast recording of Evita is a doozie.  It sounds like the orchestra and voices were recorded on different tracks in different sessions and then just sort of layered on top of each other, despite being different tempi.  At least, that's what I think may have happened.  I don't know.  During Requiem for Evita, the chorus is WAY off from the orchestra.  But that's just the tip of the iceberg.  I can't remember if I ever made it through

HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Aug 27 2019, 03:31:53 PM

I don’t understand why every time I ask someone on these boards to post a bootleg of a show, the post gets taken down. 

It is very important that this gets done and is posted online. This is critical.


It's against the rules.  It may be important to you, but that's irrelevant.  It is not "critical" by any means.



Six at the ART  Aug 27 2019, 09:01:50 AM

Per her Instagram, Pauly will be back starting with the Edmonton run of the show.

YAY!

And yes, the harpsichord pre-show music is so fun.



Six at the ART  Aug 26 2019, 04:44:42 PM

Samantha Pauly was the first Howard in Chicago but is performing Evita in London through September. She may be rejoining just as Adrianna Hicks has rejoined in Boston.

Keeping fingers crossed that Pauly rejoins for Edmonton, St. Paul and Broadway.  She was a better fit with the rest of the cast.



West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 04:57:05 PM

but considering West Side Story has one of the most iconic marquees, nearly all productions using a similar font style, with most using the black, white, and red color scheme, this just seems boring. 

I think you mean they all recycled the original film's marquee title.  This was the actual original marquee:

Was Evan Hansen punished enough for his sin?  Aug 15 2019, 03:09:53 PM

Pretty much every choice made in how to present the plot, is designed to make us empathize with Evan and to take focus off of the harm he caused.

Agreed.  Convenient plot holes and subject avoidance assist along the way.  The only other musical I loathed as much as DEH was Spring Awakening.



I am looking for songs for 4 boys. Any ideas?  Aug 14 2019, 10:10:37 AM

The song is for Capitalism.

In that case, Money from Cabaret.



Barry Manilow ‘fighting horribly’ with hubby manager amid Broadway flop  Aug 14 2019, 08:56:50 AM

Oh look, another thinly-veiled homophobic/racist/misogynist/ (interchangeable) piece of crap from Page Six and its toadies.

What makes it homophobic/racist/misogynist (interchangeable)?  It looks like any other gossip article about backstage bickering with a high-profile celebrity and spouse.  If anything, it's an equal-opportunity hack piece.



I am looking for songs for 4 boys. Any ideas?  Aug 14 2019, 08:46:38 AM

What is the song for?  Are they singers with different ranges?  Age range?
