I think it’s a great idea for revivals to contextualize certain aspects of a piece that were true to the time it was written/is portraying as opposed to cutting and rewriting. I hope other companies consider this option

I was just watching an old interview with her yesterday! What a wonderful woman. I wish I could have caught her as Jack’s Mother in the Into the Woods first national tour.

I’d rather see Ann Dowd and Margo Martindale play the leads. I don’t care who plays which. They can alternate between scenes.
Someone for instance pointed out that Christine’s songs never rhyme until she gets squipped - interesting way to showcase a difference in her character both musically and lyrically.
Oh, that’s not true. Her songs rhyme from the beginning, unless they’ve totally rewritten the lyrics since the cast recording.

I’m fine with them giving Hamilton a special award as it is a great piece of work that has transcended into pop culture like no musical quote has in recent memory. The only issue I have with them awarding the show is that it feels random. It would make sense if they did it when it opened or waited for an anniversary or something. This just reeks of the producers trying to be hip.

She sounded incredible, of course, as did the orchestra. I hope someone finally produces a worthy vehicle for her on Broadway soon.

At least J-Hud will sing the hell out of Memory. That’s encouraging considering how Tom Hooper directed the singing in Les Miz.

I wonder why they felt the need to kill Donna. It seems like a dark turk for such a light, fluffy movie. Couldn’t they just have said she’s off having her adventures?

I still want the Megan Hilty-led Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I’ll also settle for a Hilly-led Annie Get Your Gun. Or run them both in rep.

I don’t think so, but they were cutting it very close with some of those announcements. And then post was incredibly rushed.
