Why Didn't Annaliese Van DerPol become a hit? Dec 14
2020, 09:25:09 PM
That was bananas. I loved it. It had a very wacky Liza kind of energy. I didn't realize her soprano was that high and that she can sing both brassy and sweet/warm.

If I had the cash to splash, I'd go with someone like Susan Egan who seems to take time to make them special and rewrite songs from her most popular roles. I think Cameo started off a little cringe but some people are turning out more professional video responses these days.

A savage level of faint praise. I wish they'd use it as a pull quote.

Exciting! I'm hoping it's more of Rodgers and Rodgers. I like Light in the Piazza fine but the more I hear about Guettel, the less favorably I think of him and his work.

I thought he was brilliant his first year in the show butlater on, and what was caught on film for the movie broadcast...he had lost something."
I thought it was bad just listening to the album.

Thank you for doing the confusing work for the rest of us.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd happily watch them all but... budgeting. I'll try the Rodgers, Rodgers, & Guettel one to see how I feel about the shortened format.

That's what I was thinking. It's a very slight show. Even with all of Lesli's personality, it was a little tiresome.

Did anyone watch the first one? How long was the program? How was it compared to a regular Lyrics & Lyricists performance? How was the filming?

I regret not seeing... Nov 4

Ragtime (original and revival), The Most Happy Fella at Encores, Bridges of Madison County (just to hear it live), Violet, Lady Day, The Color Purple (with Heather Headley), Here Lies Love, Gypsy (Patti LuPone)
Sometimes you just don't have the money and/or time. I'm curious to know how other shows that I only know from the cast album were staged but when they were on stage, I was likely too young to appreciate them.

I'm not sure if spectacle and camp is her style. Making Wicked a thoughtful, quiet musical would just expose how bad some of the lyrics are.
If the right Julie Taymor showed up, it could be interesting but I haven't seen her in years.
I think you need someone who treats the material as serious and e

Now is the time to plan transitioning theatre to worldwide audiences. Oct 17
2020, 11:51:17 PM
I feel like people are talking about different things. Plays and musicals being made into films or shot for broadcast with multiple angles and close-ups like what the Met Opera does brings those works to a worldwide audience. But the theatrical work, the score, the libretto, the actors' performances is different from the experience of being in a theater. And it just seems strange to make the goal filming more stage productions, especially at a time when stage productions are not happening. I get

Favorite young/contemporary Composers? Oct 17
2020, 06:50:14 AM
Zoe Sarnak, Grace McLean
It's difficult because a lot of younger composers are not consistently putting out new music or getting the chance to have their shows produced. Or they have to work on other projects to support themselves.

I hope so because, as bland as Aaron was, I want Danny Burstein rewarded for the entirety of his career. I don't think anyone came out looking that great in MR because the book was just so bad.
Also, I'm already preparing myself for Je

Are these all over Zoom or is someone going to fund 52 different productions?

Wait, are you assuming that I'm white or acknowledging that I'm part of the BIPOC community? Regardless, not sure why you felt compelled to come out of lurking to respond to a comment from 5

Not sure about jars but if you find the right recipe you can just portion it after baking or make hand pies.
