Best Broadway Songs for the Piano? Wedding Ceremony Dec 16
2020, 12:12:20 PM
There is always the "Processional/Maria (The Wedding)" from The Sound of Music! You're name doesn't happen to be Maria, does it?!
But, seriously: if there is a song that you/your partner love from a show, see if there is a piano version of it on iTunes, or Spotify and listen to it. I'm on Spotify, and there are some lovely piano versions of songs.

Reinking should get a Theater or Dance studio named after her. Or both. Dec 16

I wouldn't be surprised if a studio or rehearsal space was named for her in NYC. More likely to get a theatre, or something larger in her hometown of Seattle, I would think.

Why so sure about that? They’ve recorded the West End and various overseas productions of their other properties before. Especially if they include the new songs/any other changes made for UK or Australia."
I'm just looking at past recordings of Disney shows. Besides "Beauty and

Samantha Barks to play Elsa in the West End production of FROZEN Dec 9

I loved it! Since the film of Les Miserables, I have been a fan of Samantha Barks. I would love to travel to London if it was in my finacial possibilities.
The disappointment here is that Disney won't record a cast album of Barks and the London cast.
The way she sings @ 3:18 "that perfect girl is gone"...damn!

NBC will present THE GRINCH musical this December starring Morrison Dec 4
2020, 08:25:54 AM
I'm wondering if it has to do with Universal being the producers behind the multiple Grinch films. I know that they are not tied to the musical (at least what I can tell), but I wonder if NBC had always thought about the Grinch, and in a time where not a whole lot is going on in the way of new television offereings, they "threw together" this Grinch with 3 main American actors for pull, but then did everything else in the UK because it was cheaper, and the legals when it come to

Some trivial Wicked circa 2006 questions and image search Dec 2

uncageg said: "Wow, I never knew Annaleigh went on once as Elle. I would have killed to see that performance."
She did. I believe Noah Weisberg was on as Emmett that night as well. It's interesting to take note that out of the 3 Greek Chorus actresses, Annaleigh Ashford stayed with the show on Broadway for the longest, which is only 6 months. Leslie Kritzer (who played Paulette in San Francisco for a performance or two) stayed for 4.5 months, and DeQuina Moore wa

A few things:
A good place to look for some pairings are looking at different pages of bootlegs people have. You can usually find a date with the cast and Wicked is one of the most popular.
What are you looking for in the way of the tour stop with Shoshanna & Megan in Toronto.
There was an audio of Annaleigh Ashford in her one performance as Elle in September of 2007 somewhere out there.

Hellen Mirren Against Reading Shakespeare in Schools Nov 25
2020, 10:23:00 AM
Grade 9 English class was my first exposer to Shakespeare, and I absolutely loved it. It was a bit challenging at first, but I thought the stories were so compelling and interesting.
What bothers me (and this was an issue throughout high school and university) was the coversations that started with, "what do you think Shakespeare is trying to say by writing [insert line here]?" The analysis of every word, line, or idea having a double meaning, or trying to force ideas o

I wouldn't be surprised if the "Come From Away" performance was "Me and the Sky". It's really the only solo number of the show, and they wouldn't have to have Chad Kimball or any of the men.

Seth Rudetsky’s “Stars In The House” Concerts Nov 23

The Glinda reunion was a lot of fun...I was most interested in Laura Bell Bundy talking about her time in the show. I don't think she really has spoken about it. She does the best Kristin Chenoweth impression. Nice to hear her.

Megan Mullally to star in Kathleen Marshall’s ANYTHING GOES in London Nov 20
2020, 08:34:29 AM
I assume like others above me that a "reimagining" means that they are going to go in and "fix" the issues that would no longer be "accepted" by today's audience.
This leads me to think about other shows in the same boat (pun not intended). I know that Encores was working on the "retooled" Throughly Modern Millie. I can only assume that if we ever get a major revival of Mame, Ito will be changed. I mean, maybe even just cut the accent.

The #MeToo movement is something incredibly important in moving our world forward, however, with the current state of affairs in the world, do you think it will create the "spark" that it would have during the "height" of it all?
