EVITA City center  Sep 4 2019, 08:59:28 PM
Brody, I one hundred percent agree with your interpretation of the text as written. What I meant is that my fear is that in this “bold new vision” they will use this “secondary Eva” to somehow play against the text. I mean I guess I just don’t know what to make of this statement in the press release:

Through a bold new vision, Cannold will utilize visual storytelling to explore new depths within the text and provide a unique perspective on Eva's troubled adolescence as it lurks behi


EVITA City center  Sep 4 2019, 04:58:36 PM
The character of Evita is only under the age of 20 for about twenty minutes of the musical, so I’m intrigued what their angle is on this. But please God let this not be some #metoo mis-interpretation that implies Eva’s self destruction was all because of how men treated her when she was underage. I really don’t need to see the “Eva Peron as victim” production of EVITA.

qolbinau said: "Is it possible to actually have a very butch masc male flight attendant that seems straight? I agree the problems you identify do exist but I’m not sure how to solve them. "

Well maybe part of the problem is indeed our stereotypical perception of male flight attendants as gay. But obviously this isn’t always the case and I think they could cast an actor like Andy Karl who is funny and ripped and comes across as very hetero and it


Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!  Aug 31 2019, 07:15:30 AM

I thought Richard Fleesan was funny in London, except as I’ve mentioned, I though the way the character was conceptualized In the revival made him come across as rather effete. When she sang “where ya going?” I kept expecting his answer to be “Fire Island”

I think maybe it would have been more effective if they made the character more the dumb machismo jock from Queens or the Jersey shore type (think a young John Travolta circa Saturday Night Feve

And hopefully they retain Cullen’s orchestrations from London. But perhaps worth mentioning that (like all things) it costs a lot less to employ musicians in the West End than on Broa

MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Aug 30 2019, 10:17:17 AM
I listened to the recording at the gym this morning (probably the best environment to hear it) and it basically reaffirms my feelings watching it in the theatre- it plays like those “hooked on classics” tapes we worked out to in the 80s or one of those pop tribute shows on a Princess Cruise. The endless medleys containing forty seconds of every pop song of the last three decades drives me crazy. It’s just overkill.

The voices are of course wonderful.


COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 30 2019, 09:26:11 AM

Jordan Catalano said: "What sexist comments? I haven’t seen any sexist comments so please point them out.

Again, talking about the characters age isn’t sexist when it’s the point of the show.
"

Jordan, I apologize if your last post came across as an opportunity for me to attack. You are right it’s fine to discuss an actors age when it comes to a role (especially when age is part of the story). My comments about this board being full


COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 30 2019, 09:16:03 AM
That I agree with Jordan but really there are very few major A list stars who could have performed the role well and would have even considered doing it. it will likely thrive as a limited engagement prestige production.

COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 30 2019, 09:06:26 AM

Jordan, I think age isn’t the reason you don’t want Lenk in the role. This isn’t like they’ve cast Bernadette Peters in the part.

And yes, since I’m one of the very few women on this board, I think I can be on the cross for a moment when it comes to defending some of the, again, ageist and sexist comments that appear here, I think, without thought or consideration behind them.



COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 30 2019, 08:58:37 AM

Katrina Lenk is gorgeous and I’m sure on stage can be believable as a 35 year old. Though I personally don’t think it matters if Bobbi is 35 or 40. I mean Laura Benanti just played Eliza Doolittle at 40. What does it matter?

Honestly, sometimes the comments on this board are so ageist and sexist. It never ceases to amaze me. I’d shudder to think of how you all would have reacted when Judi Dench played Desiree and Cleopatra at the RNT.  This obsession wit


Richard Linklater - Merrily We Roll Along  Aug 30 2019, 07:40:38 AM

bk said: "Roscoe said: "I'm waiting for the "just kidding" alarm to go off from Linklater...."

Exactly. The Hollywood Reporter says that the first segment has already wrapped principal photography. So, no one in all of show business knew this was happening, not a single person anywhere, in this day and age? How do you keep that a secret exactly? Furthermore, the director will be seventy-nine in twenty years. Mr. Sondheim will be long gone i


COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 30 2019, 07:04:21 AM

Of course I’m in the camp that thinks Lenk will be sensational in this— one of the things I’m most looking forward to is that I think Lenk will bring an innate sexuality to the role that was one of the things I really found lacking in Craig’s performance. Lenk is also a tougher presence which will certainly make the dynamic between her male counterparts quite different.

Andy Karl would make an excellent Andy, while we are thinking of people on Broadway last

ljay889 said: "By most accounts, Matt Doyle is Jamie.
He would be appropriate for Andy, but I’m not sure he has the physical appearance for it, as Andy is completely ripped and shirtless in this production.
"

 

I wouldn’t buy Katrina Lenk in a sexual relationship with Matt Doyle. 



What was the first cast recording digitally recorded and released on CD?  Aug 28 2019, 01:46:36 PM
I received a CD player in 1985. At that time there were almost no Broadway recordings on CD. The first I remember buying were 42ND STREET, ANNIE, SUNDAY IN THE PARK, SWEENEY TODD, and STARLIGHT EXPRESS.

Patti LuPone's "Live" CD from 1993  Aug 21 2019, 01:28:20 PM
I’ve always loved this CD. My favorite track is her hybrid of “I’m Calling You / Get Here if you Can”- a brilliant arrangement.

Present-Day Adaptation of OKLAHOMA! in the Works for TV  Aug 20 2019, 10:02:01 AM
From Bekah’s description it doesn’t sound like this will actually have much in common with the musical except for maybe sharing the same name. If it’s not a musical or isn’t going to include characters from the stage show, I actually don’t even get why they would bring the musical up at all. Anyone can do a television show called OKLAHOMA! You don’t have to pay R&H a royalty just for that.

Stunt Casting  Aug 20 2019, 09:57:18 AM
^^ Exactly.

The best definition I’ve heard of “stunt casting” is the casting of an individual who is well known but not well known for being an actor.

In this day and age that constitutes people like athletes and reality television stars.

The Weisslers are the Kings of “stunt casting” - if you want good examples, look at some of the celebrities they have thrown into their productions of CHICAGO and GREASE over the years.

You certainly can’t call actors who h
