A GERMAN LIFE w/ Maggie Smith to be adapted to film  Dec 1 2020, 11:58:23 PM
I hope she returns for a limit run. Post Covid.

I think this lend better to the stage as well


I regret not seeing...  Oct 24 2020, 12:12:55 PM

Since my first time coming to New York. My regret are not seeing : catch me if you can. American psycho Brendon urie in kinky boots. Bernadette Peters in follies. 2012 superstar revival. war Horse. Hedwig and the angry inch. The audience with Helen Mirren.  Jonathan Groff in Little Shop or Hamilton.  Finding Neverland.  

What’s next for Jonathan Groff  Oct 23 2020, 09:23:45 PM
With the Mindhunter creator saying the show is likely dead. What do you think Jonathan Groff will be more likely to step into: more film more television more theatre?

Personally I hope he will be more open to some broadway shows (and yes I know. Its closed ). But I would love for him to play the beast in that planned revival of Beauty and the Beast or something.

Yes!

I'd also like to see Phantom and Love Never Dies both playing Broadway at the same time, and I'd like to see a full-set revival of Sunset Boulevard.

Broadway League To Announce Further Broadway Closure til May 30th  Oct 9 2020, 01:45:55 PM
Does anyone else think that following this extension. And now not realistically seeing anything coming up til really December 2021. Am I the only one who thinks that following next Thursday’s tony award announcements we could be seeing some more closures. And not just for the last seasons. But some long runners.
The reality is I can’t see not every single show not having to recast considering it’ll be over a year and a half and people are signing on to other projects.


Could A GoFundMe Campaign produce a broadway show  Sep 27 2020, 10:36:26 PM
Im curious if a GoFund Me campaign would garner enough attention and donors to produce a Broadway show. I know the revival of Godspell did something with public producers.

Im curious to know your thoughts.

Stars for a R&H revival  Sep 21 2020, 01:47:08 PM
Sorry I knew that. I was just lumping the two of them in the same category as recent failed revivals from roughly the same period and style.

Next Sondheim revival?  Sep 21 2020, 09:00:06 AM
With company and west side currently on broadway What who you like to see as the next Sondheim revival how would you imagine it and who would star.

Mine are

Gypsy - the Imelda Staunton revival
A little night music - Ive said t hi s for years. But a lush set with Julie Andrews and cate Blanchett
Sunday in the park - full scale production with Jeremy Jordan or Jonathan Groff and Laura Osnes
Assassins - John Gallagher Jr, Cheyenne Jackson, Alice ripley, Corey cot


Stars for a R&H revival  Sep 21 2020, 08:46:35 AM
While some may say an R and H show is dated. I curious to hear what kind of star power (In roles on stage or in the creatives) would be needed to sell tickets. Especially seeing that carrousel and my fair lady didnt really gross great.

Oklahoma
State Fair
Carrousel
South Pacific
king and I
Sound of Music

*cinderella
* allegro


The Music Man is up on the Marquee!!  Sep 21 2020, 08:40:22 AM
I actually love the vintageness or this. Just like hello dolly. It seemed more of an event. I look forward to seeing signage like this whenever he decides to product a star studded Mame or Gypsy or funny girl or Oliver!

Roles Donna Murphy can play on Tuesday nights as the alternate  Sep 18 2020, 02:07:44 PM
Now forgive my ignorance. After all I did only “discover” the talent of Donna Murphy at the Sondheim 90 celebration. But does she not have two tonys and quite the resume? Could she not have a little more than Tuesday night... like maybe even a Sunday matinee or two?

The Sound of Music  Sep 15 2020, 04:19:17 PM
Revival with Laura Osnes( Maria) Cheyenne Jackson (captain ), Kelly O’Hara (mother superior) and Brian Stokes Mitchell (Max)

Are there really NEW investors?  Sep 10 2020, 05:17:18 PM
Yes. With armie hammer and lily James. My only hope is that this stirs enough interest to reopen the New York premiere for the musical.

Time For A Gypsy Revival  Sep 4 2020, 10:31:13 PM
Honestly I would not care to see Audra in Gypsy.
While the only “headliner” sure to sell tickets would be Meryl Streep (I cant think of any Hollywood name that could actually sing it the way it was meant to be belted).
I think Kristin would be an interesting choice. But I think Alice ripley would also be (though one could argue against her singing style).

How is Emma Thompson’s belt? I know she dig Sweeney Todd but I think that’s more character.
