Their Harry Potter musicals are some of my favorite things EVER. I watch them anytime I’m sad.. such a mood boost! The humor is super refreshing and smart.

Rachel Zelger for Belle! She even tweeted she would love to be casted. I would love for somebody around 18-25 to play Belle. Anybody older just sometimes looks out of place up there.

Kad said: "Is it a courageous risk, though? Or is it simply trying to turn something into a more broadly palatable and bankable brand and missing sight of why people even liked it in the first place?"
I’d still define it as courageous, technically, because it’s something many would be very scared to do. But, yes, you make a very good point. I definitely agree that they’re trying to turn the show into something it’s not just to please

BEETLEJUICE Previews Mar 29

Excellent review, Hamilfan2!! The Addams Family comparison is quite an accurate one. Both shows took a pretty sinister and beloved concept and made it cartoonish and almost amateur like. While it’s enjoyable and innocent, they leave the audience wanting more and feeling like they were cheated a teeny bit. I’ve always thought the made up storyline of Wednesday being softened up by love was weird and doesn’t stay in line with the whole Addams Family brand, so to speak. Beetlejuice is very similar

Hugh Jackman in The Music Man Mar 25

SO excited for this! I am so ready to discover the rest of the casting as we move closer to opening. I wonder if they’ll go with unknowns for the rest of the cast since they already have such stars as the leads? I just can’t wait to see and hear the quartet. Speaking from experience, a good Music Man needs to have an amazing quartet!

I dont get why theyre changing so much of the lyrics and adding so many lyrics/lines in!! Theyre changing stuff that doesnt have anything to do with profanity or anything inappropriate. Just unnecessary, extra crap. DO THE SHOW AS WRITTEN!!!

Sincerely Werk! said: ""Revenge Party" is the worst song in the Mean Girls soundtrack. Grey Henson is funny in it but the rest of the song is pretty basic. Also it REALLY shows how bad some of the lyrics are ("It's a revenge party, a party with revenge is what it's like".... seriously?)."
Mean Girls has some pretty lazy lyrics. Like, “And if you treat me bad, I’ll say you’re bad” or “Imagine a party with

Ok here I go: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! this one hurts.  This show is so genius and beautiful. Very sad to see it go. I wish all the cast and crew the best as they close out this powerhouse of a show.

Waitress Nov 5

Wow, not only are they going to change lines and a song (“Take It From an Old Ma’am” is the altered version according to Waitress’ Instagram) but they’ll have to replace the light up Joe’s Diner sign that hangs above the set. Not to mention, the shirt that they sell at the merch stand that says “Joe’s Pie Diner.”
I’m not against it. It just seems like a lot of unnecessary work and alterations. Why do they need to go through all this trouble? Do they really need a “name” that bad?

PLAYBILL Covers of the 2018-2019 Season Sep 23
2018, 04:49:40 PM
Call me crazy but I’m really digging THE PROM playbill.
I agree with a previous poster that King Kong is a little confusing to look at. I get what they were going for but it just doesn’t deliver. Very underwhelming.

Camila Cabello to play Maria in Speilberg's WSS? Aug 8

adamgreer said: "RippedMan said: "EVERY critic ever has made fun of the vocal performances in Les Miz and Mamma MIa. So, no, I don't think these two titles needed stars. Did we need Pearce Bronson to sound horrible? Did we we need an awful Crowe in Les Miz? We did not. Camila Cabello is a TERRIBLE actress. So they're wrong."
Has she acted before?"
Nope. Not unless you count music videos or a voice over role on Barbie’s Drea
