The book can be hit or miss, but the score is one of the greatest.

Best Actor in a Play  Apr 28 2018, 08:31:41 AM
Garfield will and should (imho) win, but Hollander should have won the Olivier over Parker

The Inheritance  Apr 23 2018, 06:43:45 PM
It's clearly written with a New York audience in mind, I'm sure a transfer has always been the goal. Hopefully they will fix the second part, which at times feels a bit of a let down after the excellent first one.

I mean, if they gave the Tony to War Horse...

Lady Thiang in London?  Apr 21 2018, 05:41:20 PM
I think it's unlikely. a part from the physical and emotive traumas, she will be very pregnant by then, she'd still need to leave London in the middle of the run.

Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London  Apr 20 2018, 01:59:23 AM
It's not the full West Side Story, it's just the score, it's scheduled to last 76 minutes. But that's beyond the point, if you're doing WSS you should always a Latina Maria.

Stage door might be better

Yes, as above, but it's a West End show so they don't have free playbills to send, you'd better include a photo you'd like him to sign. And if you are American make sure to include an international stamp. I'm sure he will reply.

g.d.e.l.g.i. said:  Furthermore, it's called "the Passion"for a reason --there has to be passion within the actors and actresses performing the roles in order to do the story justice. 

Actually it's called passion from the Latin "patior", which means "to suffer".

CAROUSEL (2018) Previews  Mar 30 2018, 02:35:50 PM

AlfredDrakeII said: ""I raised the same question. There’s so much talent and it seems (i haven’t seen it yet but based on others peoples posts) that Jessie Mueller is under utilized. After coming from Beautiful and Waitress - you got to wonder."

Mueller is a deeply intuitive actress, and part of her strength lies in her great instincts and in-the-moment presence. Bearing in mind that nobody ever sets out to put up a BAD Broadway production, if the rep


Question for those who have seen a production of Caroline, or Change  Mar 28 2018, 06:57:02 PM

Hampstead has a very large Jewish community and many patrons that go to that theatre are indeed Jewish. I found myself grinning at that line, not because it's funny - it's actually quite horrifying - but because it's a very peremptory and self-assured theological opinion, especially coming from a woman who thinks the devil made the dryer. 



Angels in America ending  Mar 24 2018, 11:16:47 PM

Scarywarhol said: "But Prior is the only other character with AIDS in the play, and I don't mind it at all. We don't know how much longer he makes it, and I don't know how bearable the play would be without some kind of hope at the end of so many hours "

This is very true, I think many people underestimate how much Prior has worsened over those 5 years. The stage directions suggest a very debilitated man that needs a cane to

Prior is not nude, Joe is, but you see him only from behind - unless you're sitting in front row

MY FAIR LADY (2018) Previews  Mar 16 2018, 07:58:37 AM

qolbinau said: "So let me understand - Higgins, as immature, condescending, annoying and possibly sexist as he might be - takes a poor, uneducated person off the street and helps her make her way. Then as thanks she takes everything he gave her and leaves him to rot away by himself? What kind of ending is that? It seems to change the tone of the ending completely from something more complex and ambiguous to something rather sad and depressing."

You have no understand


Sweeney Todd Plot Question  Mar 15 2018, 05:50:08 AM

mormonsandglindas said: "Can someone give their take on this question?

One thing I never understood about Sweeney Todd was why did Sweeney suddenly not care about seeing his daughter again? He knows the judge has herand that she even goes to an insane asylum, and yet he does not want to help her or see her again?

The whole reasoning for hisrevenge is because the judge took him away from his wife and daughter, and when he sees he has killed his wife he is devaste
