Has their ever been a good sequel to a musical?  Sep 4 2019, 01:13:11 PM
I know many people who actually prefer Mamma Mia 2 over the original.

And give me Grease 2 over the original

Love Never Dies should have been a completely new story unrelated to phantom, or needs a complete rewrite. Although a strong score, interesting how people seem to highlight different songs that are the strongest/weakest though


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/1/19  Sep 4 2019, 02:58:00 AM
Curious to see how Frozen does in London as it's going into one of the biggest and most prestigious theatres and Disney musicals (aside The Lion King) historically never do as well in London as on Broadway

Aladdin Closing (West End)  Sep 1 2019, 02:17:56 PM
Aside the Lion King, other Disney shows runs have been about 3 years. I agree, Cameron has wanted Poppins back for years, I dont think he was happy it closed so soon first time around. But this is the touring production which not long toured the UK, I cant see it lasting more than 12 to 18 months like Miss Saigon.

Aladdin was always going to have an issue in the UK due to pantomimes. It sold on nostalgia, if you weren't a Disney fan then it didnt offer anything new that panto doesn't.


How will Frozen 2 affect Frozen Broadway?  Aug 20 2019, 04:29:57 AM
I think part of the issue with Frozen is a lot of its fanbase will have grown up and moved on. The other Disney musicals have nostalgia on their side, and that can be powerful. I dont think as many adults were as caught in the frozen bubble, and even ones I know who did love the movie actually have no interest in the show. which kinda surprised me.

It will be interesting to see if the sequel does well. If it does it will probably help give the show a boost in the short term


Why are matinees less respected?  Aug 6 2019, 11:33:14 AM

Luke Evans actually said on the Graham Norton Show a few years back that you should never go to matinees, implying cast aren't always fully into it. I was shocked that he was admitting it so ridiculously publically

S16 episode 2 about 27 mins in if you want to look it up.



Broadway Coffee Table Books  Jul 30 2019, 03:53:31 PM
Has anyone seen or heard anything about a coffee table book for Frozen? I thought by now the Aladdin one was up for preorder so thought Frozens might be too.

Hamilton: Das Musical!  Mar 1 2019, 01:31:19 PM

QueenAlice said: "For the record, HAMILTON is a massive huge hit in London. You sort of insinuate that it isn’t as popular there as it is in the states and that’s not true at all. "

 

That's not quite true. Yes Hamilton is a big hit in London, but you can't compare it to the phenomenon it is in America. it hasn't punctured the wider UK conscious like it has in the states. I think its pretty accurate to say London would close before


Will Glenn Close get her Oscar for Sunset?  Feb 28 2019, 05:59:39 PM
Baz from the Daily Mail is reporting it starts shooting in October directed by Rob Ashford and starring Glenn Close

Princess Diana Musical, DIANA, Set for World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse  Feb 24 2019, 05:06:55 PM
The comparison to Evita is a fair one and it's why I don't think a musical on Diana will ever really work, because it's already basically been done. I remember watching the VHS of the movie with my mum in the 90s and we both turned to eachother (having never seen the show before) how it both reminded us of Diana. So many moments, lyrics, even full songs could be tweaked slightly and then use for Diana.

Diana was no angel and a show that portrays her as a 100% victim with no critical ang


Bette Midler in HELLO, DOLLY coming to London in 2019?  Jan 12 2019, 01:23:25 PM

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "Jordan Catalano said: "What do you mean Keep bring Bette out? Shes done one production of the show and it was one of the biggest events broadway had seen in years. "

Yes, one production that she had two runs in. If she does London, it will be her third time playing Dolly Levi.Special things like this start to lose excitement after a while - for example, Sara Bareilles doing her third run in Waitress now.

I’m also j


King Kong in Trouble?  Dec 21 2018, 01:29:32 PM
Not at all, extensions are often used as a way for producers to gather interest in advance sales. It's often seen that the larger an extension the worse sign it is (unless it's a mega hit show of course).

Would a Legally Blonde Revival be a bad idea?  Oct 6 2018, 05:23:27 PM
I wasn't a massive fan of Laura as Elle but she was a million times better than Sheridan who was so miscast. She was nothing like a California valley girl and basically played her slightly ladette self. It was the Sheridan show. It was vastly better with her replacements.

I did think the production itself was better in London though, Broadway was a bit overblown.

Amar Ramasar (Jigger in CAROUSEL) suspended from NYCB over "inappropriate communications"  Aug 28 2018, 06:44:41 PM
the article reads like these were personal messages and not of a harrasing nature. seems to be dangerous territory that you can be suspended for private messages

Can you take videos during curtain call  Aug 27 2018, 03:01:43 AM
I would say it is acceptable as I've seen plenty of stage actors film curtain calls and post on social media, including ones who have previously complained about filming!

Moulin Rouge Colonial Theatre Previews  Jul 13 2018, 03:46:43 AM
I'm guess The Show Must Go On and Like A Virgin are rights issues as We Will Rock You probably has the rights to the former and hasn't a Madonna musical been talked about?

Jeff Loeffelholz suicide news coverage  Jul 6 2018, 11:08:43 PM

EthelMae said: "After reading Page 6 of the Post, and I'm not saying this is total truth, but, unfortunately, this is all too common when "they" want you out after a long term of service. They don't want to pay you in full what you're owed by contract so they torture you hoping you'll leave on your own accord or, perhaps in this case if you're fragile in spirit, decide life is not worth it. Family has already said he was fine and not suicidal. I hope thi

TOO OLD For the Role?  Jun 26 2018, 03:02:01 PM
something that has bugged me for a while is how we seem to be so accepting of ageism but when it comes to race or sexuality people are all over it. I remember when the whole Kevin Spacey thing ignited and the scenes in a movie were reshot with Christopher Plummer no one was questioning why an older actor wasn't cast in the first place. why is it acceptable to use prosthetics when there are plenty of older actors who could play the role and who often don't get a shot as Hollywood is so youth ori
