I saw Ugly Lies the Done at National Theatre, and the entire cast was struggling with the American accent. There’s a unique rhythm to every accent, but the cast never managed to grasp that. You can hear the try-hard American r’s and o’s, but the tone and pitch were never quite right.
What <<edited by BWW staff>> hypocrisy right there!

It is, and it always baffles me that some people have the habit of bashing Miss Saigon while having no problem with The King and I whatsoever.

No Taylor Swift please. I still wake up in the middle of the night while dreaming about the horror story of her Tonight.
Oddest things you've heard from non theatre people Jul 18

Some people have no idea what Hamilton or, understandably to a certain extent, Sunday in the Park with George is. Someone I know called the fourth wall the third wall or the fifth wall (don’t remember which one though). Not a really weird one, but a friend of mine has no idea projection can also refer to projecting one’s voice.
Above all, the weirdest thing I’ve heard is the raves about The Lion King, which was an expensive and uncomfortable nap for me.

Nonsense. Bandstand and The Band's Visit are different shows with different goals. You don't understand emotional truthfulness is. Bandstand has plenty.
I thought it was quite mediocre and cheesy when I saw it. I was fighting to stay awake during the first act. It is indeed better than most new musicals last season, and I do see why some people find it appealing. Nevertheless, it could've done nothing to stop The Band's Visit's Tony sweep if it opened last season. It simply doesn't have the nuances and emotional truthfulness that set The Band's Visit apart from most shows that have ever played Broadway.

Have they announced anything else for the Vivian Beaumont?"
According to a Theater Talk interview, it is open ended.
