How is the current CATS tour?  Sep 12 2019, 12:34:46 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "BenjaminNicholas2 said: "Ugh. Cat actors in the audience. Theme park move."

It’s been that way since the show opened in 1981.
"

 

My statement remains the same.



Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf  Sep 12 2019, 12:33:18 PM

Bettyboy72 said: "Everett makes this far less interesting for me. I don't think he's a particularly good actor. I think he did well as Wilde because he's a bit of a misanthrope himself. His plastic surgeries make him look unnatural to me. I've never found him able to convey the level of intensity that would be necessary for Woolf. To me, he was a pretty boy actor who peaked in the 90s with some skill at comedy and period pieces. Not much more. His books were pretty go

How is the current CATS tour?  Sep 9 2019, 09:23:30 PM

Ugh. Cat actors in the audience.  Theme park move.



26 years ago: The mansion had landed  Sep 3 2019, 04:54:54 PM

I was young, but even then, I knew that no one was ever going to sing the role as good a Buckley.



James Iglehart/Nik Walker feud?  Sep 3 2019, 03:48:45 PM

The term 'feud' is reserved for two actors who are legends and who are known.

What they have is a PR stunt.  A weak PR stunt.



HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Sep 3 2019, 03:46:26 PM

Tempo and key-changes?

Well, that seems like it would take the excitement out of the music.  

You cast a show around performers who can handle the music, not the other way around



Moulin Rouge **Pre-Show Spoiler Request**  Aug 22 2019, 04:01:55 PM

Sounds to me like they took a page from Cirque's Zumanity in Vegas with this preshow.

Quite frankly, Vegas has been doing preshows like this for over a decade.  It's sorta funny that NYC is freaking out over this with Moulin Rouge.



Jonathan Groff Alternate for Little Shop?  Aug 22 2019, 03:58:56 PM

Robbie2 said: "Why see it w/ Glick when you got Groff..."

 

Cause Groff is totally not right for this role.

Sure, gay guys are gonna drool to see him, but that doesn't make him a suitable Seymour.



SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW to Play Limited Engagement at the Sondheim  Aug 22 2019, 03:56:23 PM

Theme park basura



Frozen Tour  Aug 14 2019, 01:12:33 AM

Luminaire2 said: "I mean. Her first live performance of the song in front of 8,000 people."

 

No. 

That's not really an excuse for a seasoned performer who's led a Broadway tour of Evita and has a long resume of belty shows under her belt.

And at this point, she's rehearsed it hundreds of times already.  It should be in her blood already.

 

 

 



Frozen Tour  Aug 13 2019, 08:13:14 PM

She sounds fine, but it does feel like a character voice to me and she was clearly a little nervous.  She's got the ability to knock this out vocally and probably will once she's comfortable on the road.

Her Eva was superb.  She sat on her voice a lot during that tour, but in the instances where she really let go, she could sing the living **** out of Evita.



Barry Manilow ‘fighting horribly’ with hubby manager amid Broadway flop  Aug 12 2019, 08:09:07 PM

Manilow's Vegas show was papered and discounted to the heavens. 

Even then, you have to realize that the middle America contingent for LV is super strong.

 

His time has come and gone.  People clearly don't want to see him at top dollar anymore.  It's akin to the same ideology behind why Michael Feinsteins's shows always include a more major star next to him.



Beanie Feldstein to play Monica Lewinsky in the next FX 'American Crime' series  Aug 11 2019, 06:18:41 PM

Ah, Ryan Murphy... 


The king of one great season and then multiple seasons of crap.



Hiddleston, Cox led BETRAYAL Transferring to Broadway  Aug 9 2019, 04:41:09 PM

For a split second, I was afraid the let Deborah Cox back on Broadway.  Bone-chilling.



LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS returning Off-Broadway this Fall?  Aug 9 2019, 04:40:17 PM

Quite frankly, I'd rather see Groff's understudy.  Groff is highly overrated, imo.



#BroadwayBloodbath  Aug 9 2019, 04:38:32 PM

Oh, I was just waiting for someone to be 'offended' by the tag.  

THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!

 

Grow a pair kids.  It's a headline on a chat board, not the NYT.



Cutting songs from a performance  Aug 9 2019, 04:36:36 PM

Re: The Producers

Honestly, society needs to just quit finding ways to feel uncomfortable and be offended.

The genius of Mel Brooks is that he goes for everyone.  It's funny.  It's humor.  Laugh at yourself, as it's always being done as a caricature.  The Producers (as well as his other films) is brilliant when done by a cast who knows how to sell the jokes.

 



Wearing Costumes/Cosplay to Broadway Shows  Jul 31 2019, 01:52:01 AM

I'm so tired of people making it about themselves when we should actually just sit there, appreciate the performance, stay quiet, clap when appropriate and leave at the end.

This isn't ComicCon.



Broadway Standout Charlie Williams "Dancing Through My Resume"  Jul 30 2019, 05:50:09 PM

This series of videos are fun.

This does make me miss when male dancers were more lithe and lean.  Their lines were better, their feet were better and they didn't all try to have gogo boy bodies.

 



Tituss v. Andy Cohen  Jul 29 2019, 09:33:58 PM

Cohen is trenchant.  A child does make him any more palatable. 

Titus has talent and is serious about it.  I respect that.  While he should have known he was walking into a ****storm in the first place, that's no reason for Cohen to act like the turd he is.
