Anybody see the drama over Sia's film that stars Leslie Odom Jr? As somebody on the spectrum , It doesn't bother me much that she cast Maddie Ziegler as a young autistic woman (Look at Freddie Highmore on the Good Doctor . He does such a good portrayal ) but her tweets to autistic actors and her statement on why she didn't cast somebody on the spectrum disgust me .....

Sharon Wheatley, his co-star, tweeted this..What a hypocrite and one of the reasons why we can't have theatre back https://twitter.com/sswheatley/status/1328086639395147788

 

He privated his twitter a year or two ago but Jordan Craig who played Raoul for a good amount of the recent Phantom tour has a crap ton of horrible Twitter likes praising Trump., including tweets from the Trump family.&nbs

Desperately looking for Kinky Boots props (espically the Price & Son shoe boxes ) and rare merchandise .

I'm currently working on a state house candidate's campaign in the Philly suburbs that has gotten some traction from various broadway personalities who are helping  us out. On September 18th, we will be having a fundraiser with Ari Asfar and Lauren Gunderson who wrote a musical JEANNETTE about Jeanette Rankin(The first female Congresswoman). I've been told that this is "broadway bound"

Anybody else just watch the mess I just watched on Netflix? There were some  good moments but it was werid.....

This would basically involve a full load out of the entire 1988 set, right? All the curtains, the elephant, the dressing room, the trap doors etc? All that would be removed?"

Restaged production had elephant ,dressing room , and curtains. The chandiler was a little more modern but not on a track. No trap doors I beleive

Phantom4ever said: "Do you think they would make an official announcement about it or just kind of let it happen?"

Somebody  said to expect announcement "soon"

It keeps popping up on one of the fb groups I'm on that employees of Her Majesty were told the production is revamping to the "restaged" production. I know the recent  ill fated UK tour had aspects of both the original and the restaged productions. Back in April, I had a q&a event with a bunch of former US restaged tour cast members(one of the reasons why I basically got into broadway) and they were saying rumors were going around that the broadway production would

I’d honestly say Mean Girls is next. Obviously I do not want any shows to close, but I think MG will likely close due to the pandemic."

I love that show but I’m bracing for this too. I am pretty sure they don’t even have a Cady now unless Sabrina’s other projects or what not also got

Buena Vista is not a producer on Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s just presented with a special arrangement with Buena Vista."

Ohhh. As of right now , it looks like MD is safe and they are pushing it hard. Company is still having rehearsals virtually and there was the big NYT article last week

I don’t think that is true."

 

It has Buena Vista Theatricals as a producer since Disney owns Fox Films now ... Don't think it will be a "Disney on Bro

ughh. I got upset this wasn't coming to Philly and was planning on maybe taking  a trip to the nearest stop. Glad i saw the full OBC last year right after it opened (then bumped into Sarah Stiles on the street a few weeks later who was lovely) 

Saw Lulu Lloyd's theater company is doing something similar with different actors for "hang outs". Might do the one for Sierra Boggess next week. I recently hosted a "hangout" with a bunch of former Phantom tour cast members for free and the 5 people I got on there had some great conversations with the 16 former cast members I got! 

EDIT: Saw Sierra got sold out. Oh well.... 

Last night , I was watching a virtual Javier Colon concert and he had several of his buddies on as special guests . He said he couldn't sing with them due to the way feeds work and it made me automatically think of this , espically since it's such a hard song 

 

And speaking of Javier, he's a big Hamilton fan and has friends who are/were in the show in several productions. Would love to see him as Washington, Burr, or Jefferson someday ......

Somebody said on a FB group she was charging $225 an hour for a virtual vocal lesson instead of selling that stuff . I would pay $225 for a lesson from somebody like Sutton Foster or Kristin Chenoweth but not somebody who's 2 years younger than me

 

EDIT: See she's doing it for Broadway Cares. At least it's for charity  Thought I saw somewhere Alex was doing a virtual workshop for 75 .
