ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME/Britney Spears musical to play pre-Broadway Chicago engagement  Mar 13 2019, 07:53:46 PM

Apparently any topic is open for a Broadway show nowadays.   There really are no limits anymore, no matter how uninteresting or banal the subject or material.

 



Michael Jackson musical...new documentary  Mar 5 2019, 11:03:27 PM

I'd be surprised to see this musical go forward at this point with all the controversy that has been stirred up.

As for the accusations themselves though, I wonder how many people will be moved enough by this documentary to change their tune on MJ.   Anyone on here who thought he was innocent until seeing this documentary?  Just curious. 

As heinous as it seems by what these guys are saying, it's still a he said/he said situation.  With one of


Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Mar 4 2019, 12:07:42 AM

As someone on the boards noted earlier, getting a ticket to this really is not an overly impossible endeavor.  

Leading up to the weekend I saw it, it had been saying all week, "sold out."  I kept checking as I had two friends attending on that Saturday for the matinee.   Late Friday afternoon I checked again and there wasn't one, but eighteen seats available.  

For those in the area who are interested in catching this, getting a ticke


Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Feb 24 2019, 09:57:40 PM

Very true.  And it's very possible that setting it to the Evita concept might not work.

I do feel that with someone the caliber of Diana in both her fame and influence though it has to be more than what this musical is presenting at present.  The music does have an upbeat, rock(ish) edge to it, but it definitely has its distinct differences from Evita.    

Diana was huge, and I think a more contemporary opera with that pop/rock edge would work i


Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Feb 24 2019, 04:43:17 PM

Having seen this at yesterday's matinee, I find myself somewhere between broadwayblondes and Dobson.

While I didn't love it, I also didn't consider it a complete mess either.   I found the music way more enjoyable than I thought I would, and I personally connected more with the lyrics than Dobson did.  I even found them rather clever in places.

The choreography was highly engaging at times, especially the numbers when the paparazzi made


Hamilton San Francisco  Feb 21 2019, 12:30:38 AM

MarkBearSF said: ""Unfortunately, a theater where security is minimal is not the safest of places, not even close. Glad you're okay. "

I take issues with this. There IS extensive security outside and in, including package inspection at the entrance.

By all reports, the audience panic spread so quickly that the house management likely had no time to react. (Especially since they were likely focused upon aiding the patron wi


Next Jenna in Waitress  Feb 21 2019, 12:20:42 AM

So interesting this show is still going.   I saw it in its first year with Mueller, and while I liked it okay, it didn't seem like the kind of show that would have the shelf life that it has had.  Though I enjoyed it, I didn't think it was so memorable as to last as long as it has.



Hamilton San Francisco  Feb 17 2019, 01:43:09 AM

antonijan said: "Can the person shouting "gun" get prosecuted? "

The same thing crossed my mind. Unless you actually saw a weapon, yelling out such a thing is the height of irresponsibility. I know that things happen and people become excitable in such situations, but to yell such a thing without any evidence is crazy.

She had stepped into Cabaret at the time. Ruthie Henshall took over for Egan in PIT.

bwayboy22 said: "This makes me think of LaChiusa's First Daughter Suite at the Public a few years ago. Who would imagine figures like Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan breaking into song, but still it worked so well. The composer is challenged with finding a style of music that fits with the rest of the piece, but doesn't betray the true nature of the various figures represented."

 

Interesting. I guess you could argue that Nancy was an actress before


Tony Yazbeck  Feb 4 2019, 10:15:54 PM

AADA81 said: "I agree he's a triple threat. He's a solid actor, his dancing is superb and, quite honestly, he has one of the best tenor voices I've ever heard on Broadway. The singing is what really blew me away when I saw OTT because it was so unexpected."

So true.  I loved him in OTT.   That voice!    Especially when he belts "Lonely Town."  What a magical show.  The quintessential New York musical.  

Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Feb 4 2019, 12:51:33 AM

While we might not know everything about the royal family, if the queen is breaking into song, Broadway-style, behind closed doors, that would have to be the biggest 180 degree turn in personalities I've ever seen from a public persona.   Same goes for a song and dance Diana.  



Tony Yazbeck  Feb 4 2019, 12:48:02 AM

One of the most talented men ever.  A triple threat if there ever was one.  The highest level of triple threat.  And, in my opinion, the most beautiful guy on Broadway too.

Betty Buckley is out again?  Feb 2 2019, 02:34:32 PM

Looks like she got some pretty good reviews in L.A.  

With the exception of the "DailyBruin."  

Outdated?  Something my grandparents would have liked?  

Well, duh.  It was created in the 1960s.  It's a revival.  That's what happens.  

I know it's a college paper, but show a little knowledge there.  This is a lush production of a recent revival.  Even if the storyline is beneath your age gr


Hamilton-Convince me.  Feb 2 2019, 02:16:04 PM

I agree with much of what has been said.  If you're asking the question, you must have some passing interest in seeing it.  If so, I'd go.  Otherwise, you're just going to get the responses that you, well, have received.  Some like it, some don't.  Which doesn't help you much.  If you have any interest at all, I'd see it.  

I just recently saw Wicked for the first time.  I held off for a long time because I don't like


Camelot LCT Benefit  Feb 2 2019, 01:15:04 PM

I was actually surprised that someone involved with the latest  WSS movie didn't suggest putting a wig on him and casting him as Maria.

Seriously though, I can see him in Camelot.  He's not right for it.  Sort of like putting a round peg in a square hole.  But if the objective is to make money, he'll get the job done.  



Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Feb 2 2019, 12:37:05 PM

I will be really interested to see the reviews on this one.   As fascinating as her life was, I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around this one.

The queen breaks into song?  Now, I can see a musical with an imaginary queen in an imaginary kingdom doing this.  But QE is still alive, she's very real to all of us, we've seen her image, and we know too much about her to ever envision her breaking out into song.  It almost sounds comedic.  But I don&#


Betty Buckley is out again?  Jan 30 2019, 02:18:57 AM

Niles Silvers said: "Orange County? Can't really blame her."

What a ridiculous and inane, if not totally elitist, comment. Anyone who is a true theater lover will support and relish performances wherever they’re given. And if I’m not mistaken, South Coast Repertory, a Tony Award recipient for regional theater, is right next door. 

 



RENT Live on Fox  Jan 25 2019, 12:38:17 AM

Can't get excited about this cast at all.  Brandon Victor Dixon maybe, but not the rest.
