Of course white Jewish people and queer people have experienced discrimination. But not because of their race. That's the point, and you're being deliberately obtuse.
Actually no, I was not being deliberately obtuse. You're just qualifying a ridiculously broad statement after the fact. If you meant to make a very specific statement, then perhaps you should have done so.
this is such a disingenuous argument. You might have s
White people never experience discrimination or prejudice.
White Jews and LGBTQ have never experienced discrimination or prejudice? I bet they'd be really surprised to learn that.
Therefore you cannot be racist against white people bc whiteness is the race to which all other races are measured and considered inferior by political systems and ruling classes. So therefore there is no such thing as racism against white people.
I'll be in London next summer and plan on seeing Sunday in the Park With George, City of Angels, Six, &Juliet and probably Jamie. Not sure how much else I'll be able to cram into the trip, but it's definitely shaping up to be a summer of hits.
I have no need to get over myself. I do wish people here might get over starting new threads all the time.
What exactly is the value is a post about bad theatre behavior at one performance, particularly when it opens up yet another thread on this already cluttered site?
No one here can do anything about it. At best it inspires yet another retread of others' experiences. And the poster had started the same thread with the same post at All that Chat.
Oddly, tonight there was no (awkward) applause after All You Wanna Do which was appropriate (especially as Howard was really giving us everything), but it was a marked change from past viewings.
That's exactly how it was the 2 times I saw Samantha Pauly in Chicago. The 2 times I saw Courtney Mack, she didn't play the end of the song with as much intensity, always resulting in applause at the end. Either way, the song is such a departure from the rest, t
I also saw this in Chicago near the beginning of the run. Almost half the score was really good (standouts being Woman, Here on This Night, I'll Be There, A Day Beyond Belclare and Sail to the Stars) but the rest was either banal or seemed completely out of place. All of which included the stylized grab-bag of orchestrations running the gamut of musical theatre pop, ethereal Celtic Woman, Riverdance, baroque and rock (Boys Will Be Boys was the worst song I&
In all honesty, the studio album sounds better than the show itself because it is produced as a pop album and truly works sonically when played alongside current pop tracks. It also has effects that are popular in pop music that are sadly lacking from the live performance. Unless it were a LIVE recording (which also would be a fun way to do a cast album), I'm afraid the songs would come off more B'way than pop, as they do in the theatre. That's fine, but I really love tho

I was hoping they'd use more songs from the film soundtrack. It sounded as thought they were pretty much perfect to drop into the book for the stage.
Every producer has to accept that a stop clause may be invoked and a good producer should expect that it WILL be invoked. The common practices of the past are absolutely meaningless because they have nothing to do with the current contract in place. They are merely historical references, not procedural guidance. It doesn't matter if Music Man was "designed for the Winter Garden" or "planned for the Winter Garden" or even that Rudin approached the Wint
I really feel for him. Wounds can heal, but the scarring will be a permanent reminder of our pain. And the more you love someone, the deeper the pain and the longer it takes to heal. It's a torturous process, but his honesty and frankness sounds like the sign of a good therapist. Wish I could give him a hug.
Don't really recall reading such "country/city of origin" in such detail before. Were people challenging this before? Were the producers expecting to be challenged?
Of course the producers are expecting it to be challenged. There are loads of industry folks who are just itching to launch Twitter attacks if any specific ethnicity is not to their liking and will probably start social media campaigns to have the show closed (I imagine some may
All this annoying audience noise has been going on for YEARS before the theatres started selling overpriced snack and sippy cups. All the yesteryear nostalgia of how life in the GOLDEN AGE was perfection and all the complaining about the theatres' policies and practices won't change a thing. Theatres can ban all food and beverage from inside the theatre and it will still happen. The problem is the self-centered ignorant morons in the audience who either 1) don&#
I loved Yazbek's score for Tootsie. It's nowhere near "rotten". I was humming tunes from the show for weeks after my first viewing during the Chicago tryout and as with all of his scores, I enjoy it more with each listen.
"Abby Mueller, who was previously announced to play Jane Seymour at the Ordway, will no longer perform during this engagement due to recuperation from an injury."
Oh no! I hope she recovers quickly, whatever it is. Her performance of Heart of Stone brought down the house in Chicago. And her delivery of a particular line that she yells at one of the other queens is one of the funniest moments in the show.
qolbinau said: "Of course they would be but they have pretty slim pickings in terms of talent there compared to the USA."
*rolleyes* It’s so tiring with the jibes about the West End talent. I’m back in London now but lived in NYC for years, and have seen plenty of shows on both sides of the pond, and the talent in the West End is generally superb.
I've seen TONS of West End musicals with talent comparable to Broadway. Better
