Hmmm...really not a fan of theatre in the round. At the very least, I hope they get seats that are more comfortable than The Yard at Chicago Shakes. The space is great, but my back couldn't handle those awful seats.
I don’t like that they grouped all six actresses from “SiX” into one slot for best supporting actress. Either nominate the best or don’t nominate any of them.
They also nominated the three men from The Lehman Trilogy as one for Best Actor in a Play. The Oliviers have a history of doing that because they rightly make their own determinations based on their own rules and methods.
Phantom without a doubt. Beautiful is pretty generic and forgettable. You might see a great performance in the lead actress, but nothing about it is extraordinary.

I've been wondering who you didn't want cast in this specific movie. The waiting is finally over.

I think the concern has to do with the general interest that will drive ticket sales. Will it be relatable enough to foreign audiences? As insanely popular Elisabeth has been in Europe and Asia, it's never been seen on Broadway or the West End because of the fear that audiences wouldn't be familiar with the historical subjects and it would be an uphill battle, which is a legitimate concern. But you never know what will hit or miss in foreign countries. Hair has been consistently successful i

Germany has a thriving hip hop scene that's been gaining popularity since the early 90s. And their musical theater doesn't sound like what you'd hear in the clubs.
Oh, there are many over the years, but most musicals receive a cast recording. Some I can remember...

I'm not very familiar with this show, but did the original Broadway production's white 'Egyptian' enslavers work in the sense of serving as an analogue for the historical US equivalent perhaps?
I think that might have been the intent...maybe? But no, that concept was clouded by all the bright colors and modern designs that didn't really evoke the setting.
I thought the majority of the design was beautifully simple, abstract and effective like most of his work.
I usually love Crowley's work and there were some visually lovely moments in Aida, but on the whole, it was like the entire creative team didn't meet until after opening night. One thing I'll never understand was the specific intentional use of the museum bookending the show. Why make such a literal reference to ancient Egypt and then &qu
Aren't there multiple German words for each English word??
Not really. They do have a lot of compound nouns and long words, but they've made German translations of English lyrics work for a very long time.

Except the biggest hits the last few years are Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away, so I'm not sure where this societal shift is occurring.
