HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements  Apr 28 2018, 01:50:27 PM

Have Lexi and Mandy been with the show two years now? Will we ever get new sisters?



Live from Lincoln Center: Leslie Odom Jr.  Apr 28 2018, 01:04:25 PM

A Tony award winning actor with an EGO? Say it ain't so!



Aaron Sorkin's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Adaptation to premiere on Broadway December 13, 2018  Mar 14 2018, 06:22:33 PM

Any changes to Atticus in the sequel came from Harper Lee, who created him.

Thoughts on the current Hamilton BROADWAY cast  Oct 28 2017, 04:03:43 PM

Rainah said: "mmmm, I found he didn't have a lot of chemistry with Javi. In addition to the rumours of them not getting along... I would have loved to see him against a different Ham, Lin or Luwoye or even Jevon. Best Wait For It I've ever seen though"

Is the "he" here SJH? I've wondered about him as he is the only OBC member who left the show with no acknowledgement. Every member of the ensemble got a solo bow at their last performance but


Barrett Doss, Oak Onaodowan cast in ShondaLand Drama  Oct 7 2017, 04:03:55 PM

I guess I work for Oak too since I made some of the same points as HH in another thread. Mariel, Erik, bear? See you at the next staff meeting!

Omg this is a new level of hilarious.



Barrett Doss, Oak Onaodowan cast in ShondaLand Drama  Oct 6 2017, 06:30:58 PM

Huh. I thought you guys said he'd never work again?  



Eliza? - My Fair Lady Revival 2018  Oct 5 2017, 07:38:15 PM

Did The Interval delete those interview tweets? I'm not seeing them anymore...



Eliza? - My Fair Lady Revival 2018  Oct 5 2017, 07:02:50 PM

Benanti on twitter is liking tweets calling this casting, among other things, "a disgrace."

Keep it classy, Laura!

Where's my man Danny Burstein??

Of course they're more diverse that the rest of Bway (with the exception of Hamilton). Kind of a low bar there. They were still well over 50% white.

This is kind of an inane argument. You're jumping on that concern of the cast, and barely recognizing that the cast felt comfor

PaulWom said: "Then perhaps you don't need me to cut and paste the paragraph where Malloy says of the people who didn't *intend* to close the show, "that means they didn’t realize that what they were doing could close the show, and they didn’t realize the power that they held, and that feels grossly irresponsible to me.”"

I read it. I just don't agree with it. I don't think that they closed the show. There were several factors,

PaulWom said: "Hold on a minute. Compared to openingnight , the cast differences I remember were thus:

- Lost Erica Dorfler and Mary Spencer Knapp

- Gained Kennedy Caughell, Celia Mei Rubin, Brandt Martinez, Blaine Krauss, Shoba Narayan, Brad Giovanni.

Thats one person of color lost, and of the new hires, 4/6 were people of color. Where exactly is the diversity problem, especially compared to the rest of Bway"


Do I really have to cut

PaulWom said: "SDV said: "


I have also recently seen group cast photos as of the closing and was surprised at how…white the ensemble actually was. Perhaps there was a larger number of POC than in most ensembles, but it certainly looked to me to be overwhelmingly white.

Oh, wow, I don't think that's the argument you want to be making against Comet, in any incarnation.

here are some of the diverse cast members of Come

Honestly though, can you refute any of it? Seemed pretty straight forward to me. His comments seemed mild compared to where he could have gon

hmph said: "SDV said: "Lord, the amount of hand ringing over the closing of a show which failed to recoup even 15% is ridiculous."

Yes, because most Broadway fans' first thoughts are about finances, not the show itself...
"

The first thoughts here seem to be how can we blame everything except the fact that the show never made money.

GeorgeandDot said: "Ok so maybe a handful of principles would have left once their contract was up, but what about the ensemble, orchestra, and crew? They're all suddenly out of a job. "

As is the cast of Groundhog Day. And Bandstand.  And Sweat. And Indecent.  It’s theater. It happens.

Cynthia Erivo needs to check herself  Aug 31 2017, 01:45:07 PM

adamgreer said: "She's still at it on twitter, despite claiming at least 4 times now that she was "done." She continues belittling the drummer, the one person engaging her who is an actual member of the company, and who actually knows what went on. It's utterly unbelievable how obnoxious she's become."

"Engaging her"? He called her ignorant then wrote out the definition for her.
