I want an August Osage County revival. Oct 22
2020, 04:59:57 PM
To add on to my Nina Arianda as Barbara suggestion - Cherry Jones would be my ideal Violet, (some great ideas on this thread, but I still think Cherry Jones would be best), with Lily Rabe as Ivy (which was also a great suggestion from someone else up in the discussion, but I think they meant her to play a different part than Ivy).
Although, I'll admit it will be hard to accept Arianda is Rabe's older sister on stage, even though they're only a couple years apart.

And why's that? Is this because of genuine reason, or because you're just being a skeptic for variety of reasons unrelated to the material/project itself? If latter, I don't think we actually what's going on in the room so best not to speculate?

But doesn't this film just scream for a woman director? Taymor?"
You are right! Taymor or even Greta Gerwig would pique my interest quite seriously.

Wicked Movie Seeks New Director Oct 20

The names mentioned as folks interested in directing this back in 2010... geez some of them are my nightmare directors for a musical I love as much as this one (Ryan Murphy, Rob Marshall esp). I am hoping they find someone who will try to direct this in a mature way, but keep the camp quality. No trying to appeal to only kids and not their parents crap.

Dear Evan Hansen movie? Sep 1

I lowkey expected it to be Gwyneth Paltrow because of Politician, lol. This is interesting. Can she sing, or will the voice-work be done by someone else?

It's not a real person, there is no "supposed" to be anything. It can very easily be changed if the writers feel like it. They may even name the changed character Larry just to mess with you personally.

Deadline is reporting Danny Pinno as Larry Murphy. Seems a little out of the blue but hey, he is just joining a long line of hot dads playing this part.

I don't understand why someone else getting an award personally annoys anyone. It literally has no impact on your life.

Jorge. No. That's not how filming works.

Possible SMASH season 3 ideas Aug 10
2020, 10:37:51 AM
I just want a whole season of Uma Thurman and Megan Hilty just improvising their way through an unscripted show. I really think that would be a major hit.

Wishful Thinking- What Role Do You Want Audra To Play? Aug 3
2020, 12:41:40 PM
For plays... I'd love to see her do August Osage County. Doesn't even matter which part, I think she'd kill both female leads when she's age appropriate for them.

What Would Be Good Roles for Brittain Ashford Jul 21
2020, 11:15:32 PM
I don't think it fits exactly from her Great Comet role or her voice type, but she is an actress with a very unique and strong perspective, and I would love to see her take on some traditional roles like Ilona (She Loves Me), Fantine/Eponine, Margaret (Carrie - this one I'd pay big bucks to watch). Maybe Helen in Fun Home (although I really find it hard to imagine a non-soprano voice in that part).

Any word on this? Do they need to do more taping, or is there any buzz/rumor about them releasing it soon? I hope it comes out in October or closer to election.

Carousel 2018 Cast Recording Jul 9

I personally find the 2018 album's If I Loved You/bench scene to be absolutely the best version of that song. There's not one thing wrong about it.

The Book (or Lack there of) in a Sung Through Musical Jul 6
2020, 12:07:27 PM
Fierstein said this about Kinky Boots too, that Lauper would often get inspired by his writing and completely replace a scene with a new song and then he'd have to restructure the book so a small throwaway dialogue can now become a central plot point (because the song was too good to let go).

OUR TOWN revival starring Dustin Hoffman; Bartlett Sher directs Jul 1

Would get me in the seats. I also think Morgan Freeman would be an interesting choice if he's up to returning to stage.

Maybe if we protest he will actually recast Hoffman? With someone with an impeccable record. Like Johnny Depp perhaps?
