Samantha Barks to play Elsa in the West End production of FROZEN Dec 10

Sadly I found that performance totally underwhelming. Maybe it was recorded in a style to please the Royal Variety crowd, but it felt totally ersatz..

The company I work for requested permission to run a season with 3 different actors in rep: a young woman, an older woman and a man. We were told to wait for a decision- it never came and we moved on.
No such thing as a new idea.

UK etc. Theatres Reopening Jul 17

It's more smoke and mirrors from Boris- if theatres "can" re-open, they can't claim financial support. But the reality is that the reduced capacities will render the economics impossible for many producers.
Not to mention that any spike in infections will lead to a wild witch-hunt.

Whistle Down the Wind was a dreary show and Gale Edwards was a dull director on this and JCS at the Lyceum. So bland.

On this board nowadays, anything over 10 years old seems to be obscure.

Best Broadway song ever? May 16
2020, 08:22:58 AM
Songs have to do different jobs, don't they, so it's definitely apples and oranges.
Other than those listed I'd drop in
The Best of Times
Comedy Tonight
One Day More
He Lives in You
I'm Still Here
And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going
Don't Rain on My Parade
Big Spender
Aquarius
