Jagged Little Pill to Premiere at ART  May 7 2018, 01:02:02 PM

Can someone post what the plot is?



Desperately Seeking Susan Musical Disaster  May 6 2018, 05:43:54 PM

BrodyFosse123 said: "The only Madonna song that appears in the 1985 film is “Dress You Up.” The film was released at the very beginning of Madonna’s career, before she even had a handful of hit songs. "

By the time Susan was released, she had 8 singles. Two were #1 on the charts and three others were top 10. Seven of the eight were top 10 on the dance charts.

So no.



Chazz Palminteri to Join the Cast of A BRONX TALE on Broadway  May 3 2018, 11:35:53 PM

Browneyes142 said: "Broadway Joe said: "As if the show isn't stereotypical enough they had to go add this dunce to it. Yuck."

You do realize that this is his show, based on the movie, which was based on his one man show which was based on his memory of growing up?

Stunt casting, maybe but it's not some random stereotypical Italian person, it's the guy that wrote the story.
"

He didn't just write the story, h

They aren't part of the season, though. They are just renting the space from Roundabout.

Though Roundabout Theatre Company is listed as a co-producer on the production.

Paul Alexander Nolan makes me swoon  Apr 25 2018, 06:07:07 PM

SweetLips said: "Pointless and ego spring to mind."

It's produced by Broadway.com, and the point is obviously to drive traffic to the site and sell tickets. They also have a backstage series for Mean Girls featuring Erika Henningsen, and they recently did one for The Lion King.

So neither.



King Kong Casting  Apr 24 2018, 12:19:27 PM

Of course they are. King Kong is the name that will sell this.

 



CURSED CHILD Reviews  Apr 22 2018, 09:56:15 PM

BroadwayConcierge said: "perfectliar said: "You don't like what the review has to say, so it's not worth anyone else's time? FFS."

Have you read it? It hardly says anything beyond being condescending and pointlessly contrarian. No substance.
"

I did, and just because you don't like what the reviewer has to say doesn't mean there aren't valid criticisms, like effects taking the place of heart.

BroadwayConcierge said: "VotePeron, I started writing out that The Wrap posted their review, but stopped and deleted it because it's so dumb and poorly written that it's not worth our time."

You don't like what the review has to say, so it's not worth anyone else's time? FFS.



What is next at the Shubert?  Apr 20 2018, 09:35:32 AM

It's not. Many plays have been housed there, the Blithe Spirit revival being the most recent.

HEAD OVER HEELS at the Curran - Reviews  Apr 12 2018, 12:10:05 AM

antonijan said: "The songs are sung like the original...and the Elizabethan concept are mostly in dialogue and staging and everything was fitted to match the songs... That's the genius part of it and the younger audience doesnt need Gogos familiarity to understand the play. "

Not changing anything or creatively manipulating the songs is literally the opposite of genius.



The Cher Show  Apr 9 2018, 10:46:03 AM

JayG 2 said: "The theater is dead when it no longer adds anything valuable to our culture. Purchasing tickets indicates nothing except profits for producers."

Get a grip, man. First you say Broadway theatre is dead, then proceed to list only some musicals that have opened this season or will be opening soon. Now you're defending yourself by saying ALL theatre will die when it adds nothing of value to culture? Can you take a step back and look at how insane this s

THE STING at Paper Mill - Reports  Apr 9 2018, 08:56:16 AM

jbm2 said: "How far is he Papermill from Manhattan? Considering catching us when I’m in town, if it’s not too far?"

About 45 minutes by public transportation. But call the theatre first... I looked at tickets a few days ago and there seemed to be less than a handful left for the entire run.

Yeah, I jumped on tickets for that day as soon as I read that. This is a pretty great cast.

After seeing this thread return this morning, and after the show constantly appearing steeply discounted on Today Tix, I finally looked it up to see what it was all about. This is literally a pull quote on the official website... they

SPIDERMAN - TURN OFF THE DARK 1.0 vs. 2.0  Mar 15 2018, 04:35:44 PM

Lot666 said: "I believe Ms. Taymor still had some work to do to iron out her original book concept, but they pulled the plug on her. I guess they had already gone too far past their deadline."

I saw 1.0 pretty early on (I think it was December 13), and from what I'd gathered, they weren't making a whole lot of book or score changes at that point; it was mostly tech stuff, and I think that rang true pretty deep into 1.0's preview period. (I'll have to
