Anything new on Almost Famous...  Dec 16 2019, 04:11:08 PM

Rumor has it that Sing Street is already signed up for the Lyceum.

I saw Almost Famous in San Diego and loved it. I do, think, however, that a couple of roles in the show need to be recast with more seasoned Broadway veterans. Solea is the one cast member who is definitive in her role. 



WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 10 2019, 04:29:38 PM

Mrs. Doubtfire - Seattle Pre-Broadway Thoughts  Dec 2 2019, 04:14:12 PM

The sets have to be "naturalistic" so I'm sure David Korins' set is exactly what the show needs.

With Tootsie in the "backview mirror", the producers probably know that there are two main challenges to getting this show to be a hit. First, the original movie had a very medicore script which was transcended by Robin Williams' performance. Robin Williams was a comic genius and has huge shoes to fill.

Secondly, can the score survive on its own? Strip


SING STREET @ NYTW  Nov 26 2019, 11:35:40 AM

A good source tells me Sing Street's Spring transfer to the Lyceum has already been signed.

Bedwetter musical  Nov 19 2019, 08:26:31 PM

Does anybody have the scoop on The Bedwetter musical? It's based on Sarah Silverman's R-rated childhood autobiography.and has an intriguing creative team. I'm a huge fan of Adam Schlesinger's work on critically panned "Cry-Baby" (one of my favorite flops of all time)..

If anybody has been to the workshop or has some inside scoop, please spill the tea.

Broadway Real Estate for the 2019-2020 season  Nov 15 2019, 02:01:45 PM

I have heard from reputable sources that BJ will be moving to a smaller Broadway theatre, albeit in a scaled-down (ready to tour) version. I am also hearing that Sing Street is virtually guaranteed a theatre, even though it hasn't even opened yet off-Broadway. 

As for other shows circling the great white way, I just don't see Almost Famous making it to Broadway this spring unless they can fill one of the roles with a big name. I saw it in San Diego and really enjoyed it. S


Take Me Out Revival!  Nov 15 2019, 01:48:00 PM

It's not a great play but it's an entertaining play, especially when directed briskly. Joe Mantello's direction was pitch-perfect so I wonder how Scott Ellis would put his directorial stamp on the play. 



Michael Arden helmed Roundabout Reading of Parade  Oct 28 2019, 02:34:07 PM

The original Harold Prince production was definitive IMO. The Rob Ashford Donmar Warehouse revival was a failure.  It was staged in LA as a prospective pre-Broadway run and didn't go any further. T.R. Knight was miscast as Frank.



PHANTOM OF THE OPERA French version in concert, Canada 2020  Oct 24 2019, 06:42:25 PM

Musical theatre lyric translations in French tend to be quite pedestrian. The French lyrics to the title song of Phantom are not very good:

 

 

Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (English translation)

  • Artist: The Phantom of the Opera (musical)
  • Featuring artist: Cécilia Cara, Lauren

Almost Famous  Oct 24 2019, 06:36:12 PM

Per reliable sources: as of yesterday they still haven't been able yet to secure a theatre. And it is my understanding that they are not the only show that's circling around Broadway for the Spring.

why would anyone want to spend money and time on a one man show that they can see for free in their living rooms? If I were at CTG subscriber I would feel duped.

Vernon, I respectfully disagree. LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS is already on Netflix but it sold very well. THE NE


Los Angeles TIMES - MUST READ  Oct 18 2019, 02:18:03 PM

While I am exasperated by the mediocre programming at Center Theatre Group (CTG), I do feel that there are quire a few obstacles in improving their programming.

First of all, the typical CTG subscriber is of retirement edge and is not going to be interested in avant-garde or experimental work.  The Ahamanson's production of Soft Power didn't exactly pack them in. When Michael Richie was first hired, the LA Times asked him what his favorite play of all time was. He ans


Rialto Chatter: Will MRS. DOUBTFIRE Musical Land on Broadway Next Year?  Oct 16 2019, 12:46:06 PM

Questions for you experts:

What is the projected state for open Broadway theatres for Spring shows? Is there any more space for a new musical? I was personally hoping for "Almost Famous" to make it to Broadway this season.

In case there will be an open theatre, are there shows other than Almost Famous would be vying for that spot?

 

 

 

 



CENTER THEATER GROUP - Worst Season Ever?  May 6 2019, 04:36:02 AM

While I agree that this is the worst Ahmanson season since 1993, when I subscribed for the first time, this has nothing to do with artistic taste or bad management.

The subscription model has been failing in most major regional theatres, and The Ahmanson has been especially badly suffering from drop in subscription sales. The average age of the Ahamanson subscriber is 72 and rising. The big donors in LA tend to give money to the Philharmonic and to Art Museums.

The Ahmanson simp


TOOTSIE Reviews  Apr 24 2019, 01:22:33 PM

dramamama611 said: "This 'feels' like the best reviewed show of the season. I know that doesn't mean anything, necessarily for the Tony Awards, but it puts Tootsie AS the frontrunner, yes?

I think Santino Fontana (Best Actor in a Musical) and Robert Horn (Best Book of a musical) are both shoo-ins for a TONY. I would bet on TOOTSIE also winning best musical. It's a show that will do well on tour and it's a lot more accessible than Hadestown. 



Way Too Early 2019 Tony Predictions thread  Apr 10 2019, 07:53:59 PM

I would put my money on Beth Leavel landing her second Tony. She's giving the performance of a lifetime at the age of 63. I wouldn't bet against Metcalf either, who also happens to be 63.



The Band's Visit tour cast  Apr 10 2019, 06:09:06 PM

Mike Barrett said: "If Katrina tours I’ll be literally so happy"

I am guessing that Katrina would probably tour if they give her over-the-top billing and pay her a premium. Going on tour is quite taxing and hard on people's personal lives. If I were her, I'd be auditioning for non-singing roles. I had the fortune of seeing her in quite a few plays and musicals in LA. I wouldn't be surprised to see her headlining a non-musical play on Broadway or off


Secret Garden on Broadway?  Apr 10 2019, 06:01:34 PM

Does anybody know if the Secret Garden Broadway revival is still happening? It was reportedly helmed by Warren Carlyle. The show's libretto would need considerable tightening for today's audiences.



SPRING 2019- Yet to be announced shows?  Mar 14 2019, 12:32:31 PM

Since there are lot of people with inside info on this board--- are there any shows that are yet to be announced for Spring of 2019 (in time for Tony Cut-off) that could still announce opening? (For example, Kinky Boots is closing. Is there a show that could open up in time for the Tonys in that theatre?)
