SPAMALOT Film Adaptation in the Works!  May 4 2018, 01:01:16 AM

g.d.e.l.g.i. said: "Well, that seems about as pointless a choice as one could possibly make, but then again, the 2005 film ofThe Producers exists, so anything is possible."

 

 

If it weren't for that film, I wouldn't have fallen in love with musical theatre. Poorly made, but wow! I have so many fond memories attached to it.

What do you want them to perform on the tony awards telecast  May 1 2018, 02:03:43 PM

What if we finally get our Bette performing Hello, Dolly?  



HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 28 2018, 01:21:46 PM

Completely forgot about the sale, but I snagged a balcony seat for August 25th's evening performance. 

 

I highly doubt this is the actual closing performance, but I am happy I get to see this production one last time before the tour.

EllieRose2 said: "Im not pre judging anything. It's widely known that the best theater district in the country is New York City. Broadway has the best of the best, and people spend years trying to get there. The Tony Awards are based on shows in New York City. Therefore, it is the best. It's just a fact. A lot of shows do "Broadway try outs", hoping they can make it to the very best city in the world for theater. Angels on Broadway is far superior simply because of

The answer to both is yes.

As a can-canning drag queen myself, I felt represented. LOL 



Three Hello Dollys & Their Performances  Apr 16 2018, 11:55:46 PM

I loved all three performances! 

Bernadette had a lot more physical comedy associated with her performance compared to Bette and Donna. Donna's performance was a lot more emotional (crying during Before the Parade Passes By). And, to be honest, I was incredibly enamored from Bette that her performance will be branded in my mind as one of my cherished memories. 

If I had the money, I'd send Bernadette and company into the recording booth to create an EP of Dolly


Free Ticket to Phantom tonight 4/13  Apr 13 2018, 12:23:10 PM

zainmax said: "Haha. Thanks for the detailed list. I was always curious about the service. But, I do care what I'm seeing, and do mind a crappy seat. GG, AIP, and SR were a little tougher tickets to get than Chicago and Phantom.

Also, side note, Jill Paice is so sweet! I'm always glad to see her in a show.

I did Broadway Roulette once and got Dear Evan Hansen - Row B in the Mezzanine. It's really a mixed bag. 



What do you want them to perform on the tony awards telecast  Apr 13 2018, 12:21:53 PM

The Band's Visit - Answer Me 

Spongebob - Hero is My Middle Name

Mean Girls - the cafeteria song going into the moment when the Plastics are introduced

Carousel - I'm hoping Renee is being pushed for a Tony so we can see June is Bustin' Out All Over, but it will most likely be part of the overture's choreography into You'll Never Walk Alone

My Fair Lady - Get Me to The Church on Time, Norbert Leo Butz is their biggest chance


TRAVESTIES (2018) Previews  Mar 29 2018, 12:48:24 AM

I have a $10 preview ticket, but I am weighing my options of going to this or catching a matinee of Three Tall Women instead. 



CAROUSEL (2018) Previews  Mar 29 2018, 12:43:09 AM

I saw this show this afternoon and Jessie literally has nothing to work with. 

 

I do appreciate Joshua Henry, but I felt he missed the kinda biting sass that Steven Pasquale had in the Chicago Lyric production.

Mendez and Fleming were the highlights for me. 

 

Also, the set seems a bit Pier 1 Imports to me.

How lazy is this post? 

A simple, "Jesse Green reacts to his Margaritaville review's criticism" would suffice. 

It eliminates confusion and sets up a discussion.

Hey Kade, I will say I am working downtown today (across the street from CIBC Theatre) and there's no signs of slickspots on the sidewalks. 

I wouldn't want you to miss The Wolves! it's an excellent show.

Obviously because no shows on Broadway or Off-Broadway perform Friday matinees therefore there's no informationto post.
