I agree. If you’re gonna stunt cast like this, why not just let Stephanie Torns take over until you announce Jordan’s run. Ugh. They jipped Alison Luff so much."
Isn’t the wicked tour having some turnovers soon? Maybe she’ll go back on the road with it. Hope she gets another job quickly. She’s easily one of my favorite actresses.
How will Frozen 2 affect Frozen Broadway? Aug 20

Isn’t Disney doing everything it can to make the LA premiere of the film an event? Like, Frozen the musical will playing right while the film premieres and their going to turn Hollywood blvd into like a Frozen festival or something. At least that’s what I read somewhere. I’m sure they’ll give the musical as much press as possible around that time. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the tour cast on Dancing with the stars or some other LA based television shows.
How much are broadway actors worth Aug 19

I think people are undervaluing Charlie Williams and Ryan Steele. While both have primarily been in ensemble roles, at this point in their career, I feel as if they are more recognizable talents than your average ensemble member. They both have such long resumes, it wouldn’t be unrealistic that they’d get more money just because of the experience they have.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if we got a remake of this and other golden era musicals, like The King and I.

THE MUSIC MAN - Goodman Theatre, Chicago Aug 18

Delighted to say I got to catch the penultimate performance of this production last night. I honestly enjoyed the show very much and it was my first time seeing ANY incarnation of the show. I really enjoyed Geoff and Monica, I sincerely hope Geoff is in the Hugh Jackman revival as an understudy. He just had really great charisma and his sweaty head just added to how much work he was doing up there. I agree the mayors wife was a standout and hoot. Terrific performance. Also, it was a nice surpris
Are Playbills environmentally friendly? Aug 17

Perhaps shows should just put up QR codes around the theatre that direct people’s phones to the shows page on the playbill website. Also, playbill should start posting understudy notices on their website.
SIX (finally) headed to Broadway? Aug 6

Just a guess, but perhaps they think having more concurrent production will help, whenever the broadway cast becomes fatigued and they start experiencing shortages of understudies like they have in the west end. Like if they have three girls out and only two to substitute with, they could just fly in one of the girls from the cruises or Chicago sit down/tour.
Eliza2 said: "today was Kevin Clay's last day with the Broadway cast. Not sure if he's going back to the tour, since joining the Broadway cast was originally supposed to be temporary.
Curious to see who the new Elder Price is, especially if they're starting this week."
You probably already know this, but Kevin is in the UK tour of the show!

Wasn’t David Hyde Pierce below the title for Hello, Dolly?
