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

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&

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.....

 



Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London  Apr 21 2018, 12:38:27 AM

natashalost said: "So disappointing. I love Sierra but this was just flat out stupid.

Couldn't they have gotten Solea Pfeiffer? I've seen her do it four times now, twice at the Hollywood Bowl and theKennedy Center. Both times she was spectacular. She's truly a star in the making.

But Solea.......isn't.......Puerto Rican....................... Lord Jesus. 

If you're unaware, her mother is Black and her father i


Was Kristolyn Lloyd making a dig towards DEH?  Apr 19 2018, 04:32:40 PM

qolbinau said: "I doubt it’s a dig at a specific show - maybe the culture of casting in general. But sad for her to think she might have been cast for token ‘diversity’ (or racial diversity* more specifically - I want to continue to challenge the notion that diversity is just skin-deep). Maybe she was cast because she was the best person for the role? At least, I hope so. 

Unfortunately, we all have to call BULL and SHIIIII. That show was in DC with


Bareilles and Groban to host the 2018 Tony Awards  Apr 18 2018, 11:11:54 AM

I remember a while back when we were hoping for just ONE host of color. Instead we got......nevermind. 



Do actors stagedoor for 2:00 shows?  Mar 31 2018, 04:36:35 PM

There's no one answer for this question. It differs from day to day, actor to actor. Sometimes they nap, or have rehearsals, or they're more tired than usual or they might stage door. Just go to the stage door and see what happens. 



Laura Osnes and the Tony  Feb 27 2018, 01:36:11 AM

I've never seen anything outstanding from her. She does sweet, vanilla white girl very well.... but YAWN 



what do new actors look for in their first job  Feb 27 2018, 01:32:39 AM

a paycheck. not having to strip on a pole. 



question  Feb 27 2018, 01:31:09 AM

For the love of Christ and everything he stood for, PLEASE let it be a woman of color. ANY COLOR. We deserve another Pearl Bailey moment. Audra. Jenifer Lewis. Lillias. There's plenty to choose from. JUST like we deserve a JENNA that isn't white, but I digress.......

Riedel on Scrambling to Find a Tony Host  Apr 14 2017, 05:38:28 PM

AUDRA MUTHA FREAKING MCDONALD. The TONY Queen. Broadway Goddess. Triple Threat. Hilarious. Outspoken Activist. Woman of Color. New Mom. I mean, why is this even a discussion???? I think we could do without a white man for a COUPLE years...just saying. Let's shake it up!!!!! 



CAROUSEL Revival?  Apr 10 2017, 04:09:24 AM

I just have to reply to one part of this "review", because it irked the hell out of me....

"she sings in a deep low voice during her seduction song in act two, which seemed off relative to the recording"

Do you understand music and voices? You do know that 3 different people could sing the same song and it'll sound completely different based on tone and tambre and where the music sits in an actors voice? Relative to the recording - just because Jasmine sa
