Please do not do this movie with Close. The role requires a better singer. Buckley was stunning on Broadway and her voice was out of this world.

NBC Broadway Special? Dec 13
2020, 05:01:27 AM
Again I think the lack of variety had to do with juggling Covid restrictions. All of the rapid testing that takes place and then reconfiguring if someone tests positive.
BTW who knew that Streisand was an usher? Although it sounded like she did it for 1 evening.

Bump So did anyone watch the gay Christmas Lifetime movie The Christmas Setup? I thought it was pretty woke actually. What was cool was that the gay men were the primary relationship.

What musicals still need to be revived through ENCORES? Dec 13

Leslie Odom was on TV talking about always wanting to do Purlie. Encores has gotten away from using stars which has made ticket sales dip but perhaps Odom would consider an Encores version.

The NY Times thought Pellman came off the best as did I. Part of it had to do with the nature of her musical numbers, they did not require a bunch of edits and screen shot changes every 3 seconds. And the camera was not afraid to get close to her. The simplicity of her acting choices set her apart from some other performers who seemed to be working too hard.I too thought she looked older than a high school student, but as I said before, her maturity worked for her. Perhaps they could hav

I found it to be over directed and busy like the director had little faith in the script or audience attention span. The biggest rookie mistake was letting the orchestrations over power the vocals which did a disservice to the actors.
Pellman came off the best and had a lovely voice. Her maturity complimented the character who seemed ok with herself. I wish I had seen the stage version for I suspect it worked better. Perhaps if Rob Marshall had directed it, better choices wou

NBC will present THE GRINCH musical this December starring Morrison Dec 11

The musical seems like it would work better with an audience of live children who would boo, hiss and applaud forcing the actors to interact with the audience, much like a children’s theatre performance.

Kad said: "I don’t know who this Brett Eldridge guy is or why he’s here but he sounds good."
Brett and Kelly Clarkson have crossed over from other shows including Christmas at Rockefeller Center and The Voice all which have been part of NBC. It is almost like NBC this fall season has had a rep company of sorts, but I think it all has to do with Covid and testing protocols and having to think outside the box. Kelly did all of her numbers in the sa

The direction was not good. The actors were posing and illustrating. It was slow moving and the energy was not there. It reminded me of a bad children’s theatre production. I had a feeling that the director purposely did not rush the dialogue to counter the rhymes and verse.I would not have worried so much about the poetic dialogue and allowed the actors to have fun with it. It seemed the actors were very aware of the camera rather than letting the camera find them. It should have

The quality of her voice is so incredible and it seems like she has perfect pitch. Her voice is so easy to listen to, gorgeous and full of emotion. She makes it look so effortless.
