May as well. Broadway is turning into Hollywood East.

What are the chances of her return to Broadway and why hasn’t she been on Broadway in a while? Heard her on SiriusXM singing “Wherever He Ain’t.” She’s got such a great voice .
It looks beautiful. And it should. It's 2018. They have technology now that they can do almost anything in cinema.
For me though, as a former Disney Cast Member and Disney fan, there will only be one Mary Poppins. It is such an iconic role that I will never be able to suspend enough disbelief to see someone else take on the role.
Is this lady a good actress? I'm sure she is. But it's more to that with this role. There are a
Seems like there is some kinda polar opposite going on with this actor.
One says give him the role of Billy Bigelow in Carousel, which has to be one of the most demanding male roles out there. Another says he has an average voice.
I haven't heard him sing, so which is it? How exactly is his singing?
Never heard of the guy. But that might be a good thing. Going in with no expectations one way or another. I'm going to have to decide though if it's something I'd want to see anyway. I'm sort of West Side Story'd out.

What a steal! I love Tony Yazbeck. Or, I should say, I’m in love with Tony Yazbeck. If I were in the city I would so be there! Being in the same room with that talent, and up so close and personal. Dayum! Why couldn’t this be happening when I’m there in December!
For the women I would say definitely Eva Peron is one of the tops.
But the one performance that I walked out of the theater wondering how the hell she did it was when I saw Kristin Chenoweth's performance in On the Twentieth Century.
I thought she was phenomenal.
The only reason my jaw didn't drop farther than it did when she didn't get the Tony was because I knew O'Hara was the sentimental favorite that year. &nbs
Haven't seen the show yet, or heard the music. But how would you all describe it using adjectives, phrasing, etc.? What genre would you use to describe the emotions and feelings of the music. I know I can pull it up and listen to it myself, but I'm intrigued and curious how you would describe it.
I'm one who usually prides myself on being able to separate my personal opinions of a person from their talents.
Admittedly, I'm not much of a fan of MC, but I will express my opinion about her performances in a way that is as fair as possible.
And this is not good. The only way the casting of her in this musical would have happened is if they were looking to stunt cast the movie just to get a name to bring in a certain demographi

LOL.
I wasn't as taken by his performance in HTSIBWRT as some, but I do have to admit that despite the cheesy aspect of the Disney and boy band thing, he is very pretty to look at. I concur with geoffrey, show us some more skin.

I was really disappointed. Really left no emotional impact at all.

Bernadette’s take was more emotional while Bette’s was more hilarious as I’m sure you’ve heard. Both filled me with joy. Wish I could have seen Donna, but oh well! Alas, I won’t be able to make another trip to Dolly’s Yonkers (unless it tours near me). I’ll just have to take
I was so excited when Flower Drum Song made its latest run. I always found the movie to be so cute with some great choreography and songs. I really liked Salonga and Llana when I saw it at the Mark Taper prior to its brief Broadway run.
Whatever it was that didn't work with the book (which seemed to be the biggest complaint) I'd like to see revamped and try it again.

At the end of the day, it's because it didn't sell tickets. People didn't like it."
I saw all those shows and loved each one of them for their own reasons. Interestingly, Bright Star and American Psyc

at least the britney one isnt a bio musical. and they concept for it sounds amazing. "Once Upon A One More Time" with all the fairy tale princesses? way better potential than most jukebox musicals now."
And that's been discussed. Not all jukebox musicals are bios. Understood. I should clarify that the "who cares?&q
People used to dress up to go to breakfast, or the movies, or Disneyland. They don't do that anymore. Loose attire at the theater now is just a sign of the times. And it's fine by me. I don't care what others are wearing either. At night performances though I do tend to dress up a little, but not a tie...or that kind of thing.
As for the dressy pics of guys wearing shorts. Certainly not going to wear shorts to be cool and then wear a fre
Speaking of A Bronx Tale, it seems this show gets very little discussion on this board. I may have missed the original threads on its opening and reviews (which is odd since I've been around these boards for a long time, first as a reader only, and then as a contributor), but it seems like this show keeps chugging along, but no one ever seems to talk much about it.
Is it a good show? And if it's a good enough show to keep it on Broadway, why d

Of currently running shows: Spongebob, Margaritaville, Mean Girls, Frozen. No desire."
I'm out on the west coast but it really doesn't seem like any of these shows are lighting up Broadway either. They are the Tony nominees (not Margaritaville, of course) for the season, and maybe selling some tickets, and getting some okay reviews, but nothi
