The play is nearly 40 years old and has had 3 major NYC productions and a film adaptation. It'll be a revival."
Yep. That’s what Valentina said."
It's not. There is no guessing. It's a revival and will be con

Just want to point out that the live-action Aladdin didn't really boost the musical. It's doing about the same as it did last summer.
inception said: "These are not 100% comedies, but both have comedic elements. Last week I saw a local community production of Superior Donuts, & it is a very good play with a cast of just 5. Also last summer down in Seattle I saw a great production of Annie Baker's The Aliens. It is much much better than most of her later plays, a small cast of 3 (though all 20something males), has a lot of laugh out loud funny material, but then turns devastating emotionally - and is especia
Looking for opinions. I'm on the board of a small community theatre, and we seem to frequently come up short when looking for comedies to produce. Because of the size of our theatre (75 seats, shallow stage, no wings), we aren't equipped to do shows with large casts or sets or even most musicals, and our selection committee tends to dislike broad farces. We usually end up with a lot of small-cast dramas and dramedies, since there is a dearth of those that would fit our stag

It's his literal job to ask invasive questions, but this wasn't even one of them. And OF COURSE people can refuse to answer. It happens all the time on the show. Tituss's problem was that he didn't just brush it off with a joke and took it personally. He could have easily had a r
GiantsInTheSky2 said: "Good point about Kandi - she was announce a little over a month before she stepped into the show (Early December announcement, mid-January debut) and LuAnn’s um, “tour” goes until January 11th as of now. So she’ll probably join the show spring 2020, if at all."
And if they wait until the New Year, that'll likely sync up with filming of the next season of RHONY, which would be free promo for Chicago.
This came up in my YouTube recommendations, and I remembered seeing it mentioned here so I watched (or tried to).
This whole video (and I guess the Forbes article, which I haven't read) makes no sense to me. How is there "oversaturation" of Broadway shows? Doesn't that just mean that theatres are occupied? Would it be better for the market if theatres were empty? Such a stupid argument.
Also, for the love of God, I was screaming in my head every time she said &
CoffeeBreak said: "Meh. Off-Broadway cast more exciting.
And CA will be lucky if Amber makes all those performances (her UK Dreamgirls attendance wasn'tgreat). Multiple female Audrey II's (and drag queens) in regionalsnow - nothing new.
Intimate nature of Westside theater makes it worth seeing in NYC - and cast."
I think the casting of a black trans woman as Audrey is pretty damn exciting.

Well I think icky undertones are just finefor the villain of the piece."
I sincerely hope you can understand the difference in feeling icky because someone is a Disney villain and feeling icky because you're seeing a metaphor for centuries of racial tension and disrespect played out on screen.

She was also in Nine.

magictodo123 said: "If a theater hasn’t already been announced for The Music Man could it be going into one of those? "
Has anyone else seen it? I went last night, and it's not great but it is really entertaining. They clearly went for a so-bad-it's-good, Rocky Horror kind of vibe (including direct references to "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and the "Brad! Janet! Rocky! Dr. Scott!" scene), and they succeeded. Despite some boilerplate music, overstuffed lyrical phrases, and sound mixing issues, I laughed a lot and had a total blast.
VintageSnarker said: "The movie looks terrible. Should I read the play or just go in blind?"
It's been a while since I've seen the film, but I remember really liking it. It was nominated for (and won) a slew of Oscars in 1955, the same year as Rebel Without a Cause, Picnic, Marty, East of Eden, Guys & Dolls, Oklahoma!, and a slew of others that may have aged better (or are better-remembered)... but I don't think it could ever be categorized as "t
