That is good to hear, might look into doing one for my brother his next birthday if the price is reasonable."

A few good ones:

- Muggsy Bogues (the famous 5'3" NBA player)

- George "Iceman" Gervin

- Michael Cooper (part of the famous Showtime era of the Lakers)

Well I watched it and I liked it. I thought it was a cute adaptation of an essentially mediocre musical. A few things were unbelievable -- hard to believe Nicole Kidman could be stuck in the chorus for years. And the high school was filled with really good-looking adults as "kids." But whatever. It was enjoyable. I thought Meryl and Andrew Rannells were both hilarious. 

I do wonder if I would have enjoyed it as much had there not been the worst pandemic ever. I just stre

It really depends on the athlete. There are some old-timer NBA players that seem pretty psyched that people still remember them. 

My favorite cameo personality is Big Brother player Britney Haynes. She's hilarious.

But my point in commenting in the first placewas that it offended me that someone here was told their friend's death was "poetic justice." Even on these very cruel boards,

This **** is not funny. Covid denialism killed my friend. My friend had a huge comorbidity (severe diabetes) even though he wasn't that old (69). He loved Trump and said he wasn't going to change his life because of "communist China." Last I heard from him someone in his synagogue had tested positive. The next time I called him (maybe two weeks later) his family called me back to tell me he'd passed away from covid that morning. His family was hysterical and heartbroken.

I was going to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf with Laurie Metcalf but felt sick and decided to wait a week. Alas ...

Professor Higgins in MFL doesn't really sing. Does some sing-speaking but no actual singing.

This actually sounds like a pretty classic suicide to me. But I could be wrong. Really tragic. Her poor son.

Plays:

Three Tall Women

Slave Play

Musicals: (OBC's)

Hadestown

The Great Comet of 1812

Dear Evan Hansen

This one is a real head-scratcher:

Production job descriptions must use language that is free of unconscious bias, such as “years of experience” requirements for production staff. !

Production job descriptions must not have education requirements, which, by implying that coming from a certain degree or institution you are somehow more qualified than someone else, create a barrier to the hiring of BIPOC production staff.

 

Huh?

The cast of Oklahoma! was pretty great. I loved Gloria Grahame as Ado Annie.

True. Very few actors truly disappear into their roles.

Regardless, I thought Ben was miraculous in DEH, and I

Depends on which director is working with Leo. Quentin Tarantino has used him in a lot of comic situations both in Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Jesus. This is why we can't have nice things. People were looking forward to this Hamilton film forever and now that it's here and it's awesome people just have to find a reason to be outraged.

Ok ... there's been countess times when I;'ve walked into a show and seen a swing in the show because an ensemble member is out. Even more times when a lead is out and the understudy is on. Audience members mostly suck it up (if it;s like a super duper star then I suppose you can get a refund). This is no different -- this Hamilton was a film of a live show. It had the ensemble that was still with the show at the time filmed along with all of the original leads. 

Moreover

IDGI. She wasn't happy doing the show and left on her own accord. She's getting residual royalties that the OBC gets. She doesn't get the film royalties because she had departed the show by the time of the film. Did she expect that they'd ask her back for the film? 

ETA: she's been posting lots of shots of Hamilton and seems excited and happy about the film.

If it won't be eligible for an OScar I could see it getting a Golden Globe nomination for Best Musical/Comedy. I mean, it's the Hollywood Foreign Press.
