A bunch of concerts from late last year/early 2019 were cancelled because of Hello, Dolly!. I'm wondering if she'll pick those dates back up. She was supposed to perform in my city, I had tickets and pearls to clutch on and everything.
I am of the opinion that it's never too soon to do another Gypsy revival. This, along with Hello, Dolly! should just always stay on Broadway with a revolving door of excellent leading ladies and guest stars. I also really want to see Carolee's take on both of these roles ugh
Sutton Foster would totally kill as Mama Rose but probably not for another 10 years. She still reads too young on stage (and on TV, for that matter). And yes, she would have box office dra
I'd recommend changing the title of thread to say you have tickets for sale, with date/time. People are more likely to find this that way. Sorry you can't go to the show, hope your friend feels better.
PS - try catching Donna instead if you'd like to watch the show.
Okay I'll keep asking till someone gives me a good answer - whatever happened to Cynthia Erivo? I thought she was attached with the WTF production originally. If she was back on board, with her upcoming four(!) movies, she's bound to be a large draw for a producer to bring this show to Bway.
* - I love Cussack, but I don't think she's a financially bankable lead yet
Whizzer, I think you're giving Brantley far more credit than he deserves here. He is smart enough to know how that sentence would come off as, and has the dexterity to spell it out much more clearly if he was calling out the virtue-signalling. It's not just on him either, his editor should have stopped it from being publish the way it was.
I'm personally not a fan of giving a pass to these cases because micro-aggressions like this, when done by NYTimes, are validating a

Anyway, it seems like getting a KCH is only a matter of getting a Broadway bio-musical made about you? Carole King, Gloria Estefan, and now Cher. Wonder where Donna Summer got lost in the shuffle.
Ms. Summer had the poor taste to die. KCH recipients must be living."
Huh, didn't know about that requirement. OMG they need to give it to Carol Channing yesterday, then
Anyway, it seems like getting a KCH is only a matter of getting a Broadway bio-musical made about you? Carole King, Gloria Estefan, and now Cher. Wonder where Donna Summer got lost in the shuffle. Again, these ladies totally deserve the honor but the timing is very coincidental. I also want to see it being awarded to Liza, and possibly Bette Midler.
I love that performance, thanks for sharing John Adams. Between this performance and the Royal Albert Hall concert - I have come to have a very high regard for the 3 main songs (Sunset Boulevard and As If We Never Said Goodbye being the other two) in Sunset Boulevard, which I found deeply disappointing in the revival because rest of the score simply does not hold a candle to it.
