According to the few Google searches I did, he moved from LA back to Sydney back in January. The article I read made it sound like he was burned out after GHD flopping and his animated film project falling through. MATILDA is still running in the West End, and the amateur rights are due out soon, so it's not like Tim's broke. It sounds like more of a frustration with the industry.
I really hope he does some more music soon. GHD was my second favorite show last season (behind DE
I'm conflicted with this show. On one hand, I really enjoy the show, and it would be really cool to have a Joe Iconis show transfer to Broadway. On the other hand, this is one of the worst fandoms for a show I've ever seen. Joe Tracz should be able to do whatever he wants with the show, but he's catering to children on the internet who act terrible at the show and make art that borders on LGBT fetishization.
I adore Gary's performances both in the film version of The Producers, as well as on the BATB soundtrack. Such a talented personality that we lost far too early.
Having finally gotten around to reading COST OF LIVING, I am honestly shocked that it won. I am all for plays that don't explain everything, but it feels like I read an unfinished script. I am also glad that this play provides two opportunities for disabled actors, but I wish it were in service of a better show. Maybe it plays better on stage, but now I'm slightly more miffed that IF I FORGET by Steven Levenson wasn't even considered.
I really like this show. Chad Begulin's lyrics are a lot of fun, the show is campy without being overly self-indulgent, and the orchestrations really take advantage of the synth-heavy 80's setting. It's a shame you don't see more high schools and amateur theatres doing this one. With a huge cast and marketable property, it's really a great show for those types of groups.
I know the articles are saying it's an adaptation of the Disney stage show, and Heidi Blickenstaff is reprising her stage role, but three trailers/clips have come out and not a single one has contained music in it. Either Disney does not want people to know this is a musical, or they have potentially cut a lot of the music from the show.
Okay, I thought Zachary and Weiner's work on FIRST DATE was nothing amazing, but nice enough for a debut work. But good God, these demos are insipid.

With the recent awards The Band's Visit has received, this makes the fourth year in a row that the show that won the Tony for Best Musical has also won both Best Book and Best Score, and it's been 12 years since the Best Musical Tony Winner won neither (with Drowsy Chaperone taking home Book and Score while Jersey Boys took the gold).
The awards going this way has always interested me. On one hand, the production ma
I agree that there should be an award for Best Script of a Play, but I don't think it's fair to either medium to consolidate both musicals and plays into this category.
Love or hate the show, I don't think anyone can deny that Evan Hansen is one of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging musical theatre roles ever written.
