Susan in company  Nov 23 2019, 01:47:41 PM

Susan was Amber Iman (who moved on to Lempicka - smart choice), and she will be replaced by Rashidra Scott (currently in Ain't Too Proud).

You'll ask who my source is. The streets are my source, lol. Just wait for the announcement. 

 



The Wrong Man  Sep 20 2019, 11:57:47 AM

Saw it. Did not like it. 

Let me explain: Gorgeous music for a "song cycle", lovely idea. But its over-produced, over choreographed, and It's trying way too hard. I hate when people want to make a show edgy, and instead of actually just telling the truth, and tapping into the core and the honesty of the story, they make it fake edgy. Lets put everyone in ripped jeans and cut off t-shirts and cornrows and strip down the set, and hunch our shoulders over


Public Theater 2019-2020  May 29 2019, 11:22:30 PM

They're doing "For Colored Girls" - it's inclusive (Black, Latinx, Asian women). Rehearsals start in September. 



Much Ado About Nothing (Shakespeare in the Park)  May 27 2019, 11:53:32 PM

RippedMan said: "I kind of concur with what was said. I loved the “blackified” treatment by the actors. It made it current and fresh, but still told the story. 

Hello -

As a representative of the Blacks, I have a favor to ask. Please take the word "blackify" out of your vocabulary, and throw it in thee NEAREST trash can. That's disgusting. You cannot be serious. That is not a thing. We're just walking and breathing and being great


Marisa Tomei will lead THE ROSE TATTOO on Broadway This Fall  May 22 2019, 12:03:44 AM

JoeyEvans1206 said: "Trip Cullman may be the most mediocre director consistently getting work on Broadway and first-rate non-profits. He always seems to miss the mark, especially when working with good material."

You made it to Trip's Instagram page. He loves you! Congratulations!



Tony Host  May 17 2019, 09:11:11 PM

LuPita2 said: "He sells and he isn't controversial. There is your answer, LaneBryant."

Does Audra sell? Is Audra controversial? Does Lin-Maneul sell? Is he controversial? I can keep naming, but I'm tired..... Just cuz its the obvious choice or the same old choice, doesn't mean it's the only or the best choice.....



Tony Host  May 17 2019, 10:10:52 AM

How about somebody, ANYBODY, that isn't a WHITE MAN!!!!! Dear Sweet Lord we are TIRED of WHITE MEN HOSTING. Quiet as its kept, We don't want James OR John OR Neil. WE FREAKING DON'T! TITUSS would kill! AUDRA would KILL! BILLY PORTER would live! We need a break from 10 years of White hosts!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, last year ONE wasn't enough and they made us suffer through TWO. We're tired. And THEY are tired. 



HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements  Sep 22 2018, 04:31:58 PM

Rainah said: "Blah. They should ALL be wigged or have long hair. I loved the small details of how to OBC used hair to signify different things about the characters (or in some cases, that they are different characters).

It's Hamilton. They can certainly afford wigs. They also have the clout to say "If you want to be considered, you must be willing to grow your hair long" the same way Fun Home requiredkate shindle to cut her hair off. And it seems like they us


Ain't Too Proud Officially Heading to Broadway  Aug 27 2018, 01:25:45 AM

YvanEhtNioj said: "One of my best friends was in one of the tryouts for the show. I told him, like most of you, I didnt see the point since we already have Motown. 

We literally have 9,026 shows of white people whiting, but because we had "Motown", having a Temptations musical is too much? Okay, Connor........Thanks for that. *rolls my eyes back into blackness*

 



Can you take videos during curtain call  Aug 27 2018, 01:20:05 AM

Why is a curtain call video the way to remember a show??? Why not see the show, keep your program and ticket stub, and see who you meet & take pics with at the Stage door? Just.....do better. LoL

 



WILLIAM IVEY LONG - HARASSMENT CLAIM  Aug 10 2018, 06:56:42 PM

Well....This could get interesting. I'll always wonder who bought the NYTimes to hush that article. Maybe Buzzfeed will pickup where the Times left off....

Natalie Weiss  Jun 20 2018, 10:30:55 AM

She also travels the world as her own boss, making money and not having to pay an agent a dime! Lil white girls pay BIG money for her to teach them how to riff. She creates her own schedule and does what SHE wants. Broadway is not the end all be all, especially when you dont fit the mold. Waiting for your phone to ring, waiting to be cast, waiting for the right show is NOT the way to live. She's found her niche and her lane. I give her MAD props. 



Are blondes allowed to play Nessarose in Wicked?  Jun 20 2018, 10:27:36 AM

BrodyFosse123 said: "FYI: due to mics and logistics, ALL actresses on Broadway in musicals wear wigs, even Bernadette Peters. Even if their real hair is exactly like the hair as their character, it is easier to maintain a wig 8 performances a week as well as handle the logistics of their mics.
 

Thats a WHOLE LIE!!!! Of the OBC Schuylers, only Renee wore a wig, and both Sasha & Ariana wore their  natural hair. There are women in Waitress who aren't


Diversity  Jun 12 2018, 05:05:13 PM

I mean, it's interesting to me that Fences was this big sell-out hit, but now Denzel is doing this 4 hour Irish drama and it's a pretty easy ticket to get. How come the Black Community came out in droves for that, but not this? Is it the playwright? Is it the play? Etc. Just find it all interesting."

Hmmmm You really don't know? Did you see how Fences was marketed? Did you see the number of Black faces and names on the flyer? They actually marketed it TO the B


Tony Nominees Calling Out  Jun 12 2018, 04:57:18 PM

Lord. Do Y'all KNOW how rough the weeks leading up to the TONY awards are? It's ridiculous! There's all the other award shows, you're doing interviews and press and Good morning America and The View, there's rehearsal and camera blocking rehearsal, not to mention (at OOTI especially), they are losing SEVERAL cast members very soon (Alysha, Grasan, Loren, Alex, etc.), so they're doing rehearsals AND put-ins. The day of the awards show you have to be at your theatre at 8

Dream Cast Deena in Dreamgirls Revival  May 29 2018, 06:40:22 PM

Lord Jesus. Y'all aren't familiar with enough Black Broadway women to have this conversation. Did you actually say Mya? Adrienne Warren is headlining as Tina dang Turner, Ariana as friggin Donna Summer, and you want them to take career steps Backwards to play... Deena? Renee would NEVER. She's 3 years from 50, come on! 

Here's a short list of some Black Girls for y'all to google for Deena: Felicia Boswell, Ashley Ware-Jenkins, Amber Iman, Aisha Jackso


THE SECRET GARDEN Revival Set for 2018-2019 Season  May 11 2018, 02:22:25 AM

GeorgeandDot said: "VERY bad choice to cast the only black woman as the maid."

WAITRESS only lets Black Women play the fat role.

HAMILTON only lets dark-skinned Black women play Peg/Maria or Angelica .... point me to a dark-skinned Eliza - not a swing or a cover... it's never happened...

I could keep going but I'm already exhausted

There's a PLETHORA of Black women problems on Broadway. This is the Best role and she's going t

singer234 said: "She has been a working actress since she was plucked out of college at 20 to star on Broadway. How is playing the lead in 2 Broadway musicals and workshops of 2 broadway bound musicals in the span of one year not being in demand? First of all- not taylor’s mom, long time lurker. Didn’t know who she was when i joined this board 10 years ago. She was in high school. Just think she’s very talented and the proof is in the pudding. In what, 5 years, she&

Live from Lincoln Center: Leslie Odom Jr.  Apr 28 2018, 04:18:34 AM

uncageg said: "The hint of ego turned me off at the Tony Award and then really turned me off after the Travis Smiley interview where he dissed Broadway and theatre."

 

Question: I just listened to that interview in its entirety and didn't hear him diss Broadway or theatre at all..... What are you talking about??!

 



Was Kristolyn Lloyd making a dig towards DEH?  Apr 21 2018, 12:40:22 AM

HeyMrMusic said: "I mean, look at the standbys of Frozen. No explanation of a black Anna or a half-Japanese Elsa. It’s just whatever."

 

But in Broadway's Frozen, Anna's Father is Black and her mother is White.....so a Black Anna would need no explanation.........cuz it makes sense. Having White Elsa and White Anna is actually what doesn't make sense, when you look at how they cast the parents.....
