I would sayInto The Woodsfits both those criteria, to an extent. We're 6 years removed from the movie and 5 from the most recent off-Broadway revival.
Maybe this will be how Chad Kimball gets his groove back. Milky White's his best role to date, given that he's in a full body costu

I always thought that a woman (I had Sara Ramirez and Mandy Gonzalez in mind) would make for a gret El Pachuco in a revival of Zoot Suit!

I regret not seeing... Nov 5

I regret not seeing Alex Sharp in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I didn't like Taylor Trensch in the role unfortunately...
I also honestly regret not seeing Patti LuPone lashing out at someone in the audience. That must be an entertaining experience!

Meryl Streep in the procution I played in my head

It boggles my mind that people from Broadway still support Trump! I mean oh my god Brazil and the U.S.A. are in so much trouble!
I also second the opinion that no matter the body of work of an actor, his public "likes" and posts certainly make it fair game for him to be judged.
Mostly because once upon a time people just didn't care about posting stuff on facebook or whatever, but now if you care enough about something that you need to publicly support it w

74th Annual Tony Awards will go digital this fall Aug 23
2020, 01:54:04 PM
From a person that lives abroad and goes to the US once a year during the hot season, this would be the first time in 10 years I saw absolutely nothing that is eligible for the Tony Awards. Great, I love the ceremony, but are there any shows that certainly will be back after covid break?

Same As It Ever Was said: "Just seems like a boomer thing to defend racism and get your feelings hurt over being called a boomer is all. I apologize for the hurt it caused. Now it’s Randy’s turn.
That Daily Dot thing was published yesterday morning, but I realize you guys would rather see this as a conspriacy than see the faults in your heros."
As I see it, no one should take at face value anything that seems righteous

Look, I think most people have made their remarks about the topic and all, but I just can't help but wonder why a user popped up from nowhere specifically to post several tweets from Randy Rainbow in a highly controversial topic...
I mean, am I really the only one that finds it suspicious?

Musicals due for a revival Aug 4

Jarethan said: "I cannot imagine that Passing Strange will ever be revived on Broadway. The show was a huge financial failure, despite mostly terrific reviews. Maybe off-Broadway.
To the poster re Black Musicals, I would propose Purlie be at the top of the list. It is a great, fun show with a wonderful score and three great roles. Multiple show-stoppers. I love A Raisin in the Sun, but just couldn't get into Risin. I did not think the score was good. It did win Best Mu
