Tony prediction video from Goldderby because....why not? Dec 15
2020, 01:18:07 PM
I wonder, even though I do think Patten is an almost lock, if there is any world where the Jagged nominees split the vote and Robyn Hurder takes featured actress. Such a small chance, but damn would I love to see her win. Ruthie Ann Miles did it in 2015, albeit with a meatier role.

Glinda’s bubble. Sep 25
2020, 12:40:32 PM
I always assumed it was mechanical, as one of the first comedic bits in the show is Glinda motioning above for someone to lower r her bubble, implying it is being operated by someone(thing) else.

Dear Evan Hansen movie? Aug 28
2020, 01:31:43 PM
Sounds about white. I love Ben Platt but he will be 27 by the time he films this movie and, to be honest, he does not look especially young for his age. I try to be positive with everything, but all of this casting has been so disappointing. How much more interesting would this story have been if Evan and Heidi were people of color?

Jerry Seinfeld: So You Think New York Is ‘Dead’ Aug 25

Yikes. Broadway can be CLOSED and you’ll still find people bitching and fighting on BWW. It’s actually kinda nice how some things never change.

Rosie/Gaga lead Funny Girl to reopen the Palace! Jul 20
2020, 08:56:20 AM
I would love to see Beanie Feldstein do this. Her star is REALLY on the rise, she’s actually Jewish, not “conventionally” beautiful, and actually truly, seriously, funny. Not “musical theatre” funny, but just hilarious in a down to earth way.

Which shows will Covid-19 end? Jul 13
2020, 04:45:30 PM
Yeah, you’re definitely right about that. Everyone wants to come back. I find this show interesting because while you include it with the likes of the hits mentioned below, it seems a large majority of posters on this board have been predicting Mean Girl’s demise every week the grosses came out since probably summer of 2019, regardless of covid.

Which shows will Covid-19 end? Jul 13
2020, 09:20:41 AM
Yeah, this is clearly to cover up the damage. Mean Girls is a tricky one, because while it technically should have closed already/not return, the key ingredient is Lorne Michaels. A source from Jujamcyn (not like hot tea or anything firm, even gossip for them I’m sure) that Lorne is pretty hell bent on keeping this show open. So we’ll see. They’re also still advertising ticket give aways, though of course that could be for the tour.

Actors With Unhealthy Singing Technique? Jul 6
2020, 02:42:33 PM
Jessie Mueller’s voice is astounding, but she could barely make it through the end of her Waitress run without cracking and straining. It was hard to watch.

Revivals post COVID May 26
2020, 02:47:10 PM
They essentially announced a Hairspray revival at Margo Lion’s memorial, though who knows now w/ Covid. From what I heard a more #metoo based revival of Legally Blonde is in the works for Broadway as well.

Jackee Harry could be inspired casting as Desiree. Would be so fun to watch.

Jelani would be a great Carl Magnus but a tenor he most certainly is not.

LaChiusa's Wild Party 20 Years Later Apr 14
2020, 01:28:11 PM
NYU Tisch did a fabulous production a few years back. It actually featured a bunch of Broadway names now, including Jelani Alladin and Alex Gibson. I was able to find a few clips on youtube but there’s not much. That’s Jelani and Taylor Daniels, who is currently in Hamilton.

Moulin Rouge on GMA Feb 18
2020, 02:36:50 PM
I’ve seen all 3 and Amber was far and away my favorite. You just can’t take your eyes off her when she’s onstage, and she has a gorgeous voice. Imo, of all three, she has the “it” factor. Seeing how much fun she was having as the green fairy was worth seeing the show alone. Plus, she easily outdances Karen and Ashley. Sparkling Diamond was thrilling with Amber.

MEAN GIRLS Recoups and Announces Film Adaptation Jan 24
2020, 10:11:22 AM
In the article Fey jokes that this is her Marvel Universe, but it’s pretty much true. I think a movie like this, with the power Fey has behind her, could happen much much faster than anyone thinks. In fact, I imagine they would want it out to boost tour sales if the bway show has closed. This just feels to me like they’re letting the world know they don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Though now that it’s recouped, if it casts correctly, I think it could have a Waitress length run and las

Female performers who aren't dancers? Jan 12
2020, 05:38:28 AM
I think a lot of the leads in Mean Girls who have passed through “can dance” but are in no way dancers. Taylor Louderman comes to mind. Caissie Levy?

MEAN GIRLS To Welcome Social Media Star Cameron Dallas For Four Week Run Dec 20
2019, 09:34:34 PM
Isn’t the rumor that Beetlejuice would move to another Shubert house? August Wilson is a Jujamncyn theatre. Either way they should make enough during the holidays to hold them over through the bad months. Then all the remaining OBC should be leaving and they can stunt cast to their heart’s desire.

Helen Shaw takes down both BOM and Hamilton on Vulture Dec 18

Please tell me how a woman with a BA, MFA, and a job TEACHING at a university is a college student? How gross and condescending.

She’s right. There are WEAK VOCALS in Hamilton that are entirely unacceptable.
