Greatest Song of All Time From a Musical Jul 30
2020, 07:17:07 PM
I personally am a "Finishing the Hat" fanatic. I don't know of any other song, musical theatre or otherwise, that describes so precisely what it feels like to be so passionate about something that you lose sight of everything else, and the internal conflict that comes as a result. George obsesses over painting to such a degree that, even as he laments the fact that his tunnel vision toward art drew away the woman he loved most, he can't stay upset for long and wraps him

Disney's TANGLED on Broadway? Jul 26
2020, 02:24:58 PM
I would have to agree that the music of Tangled, while not bad, is worse than Menken's other work, but I honestly enjoyed the new songs from the cruise ship production even less. If it ever makes its way to Broadway, I hope there would be some new, more memorable songs added to the score. Tangled as it is now simply doesn't have a Whole New World, a Let it Go, or a Part of Your World that would keep me coming back to listen to it over and over again. That being said, Tangled is o

Eddie Perfect’s score to Beetlejuice issues Jul 16

Honestly, I'm pretty much dead-set in the middle when it comes to Beetlejuice. I find parts of its score fun and enjoyable but other parts just plain annoying (read: most of what Beetlejuice himself sings). Personally, I enjoy its score a lot more than the ones from some other shows that have rece

Desiree doesn't have to be a great singer, but she has her fair share of songs, what with "The Glamorous Life," "Send in the Clowns," "You Must Meet My Wife," and the finale.

Plus, if we look at the actual makeup of Washington Heights (where I’ve lived for the past 2 years), the community tends to be made up of Black and Brown people, not White Latin Americans. So I think it’s safe to assume that the ch

Hamilton Broadway Coming to Disney Plus July 3 Jul 8

I assume those were the moments taped without an audience. There is absolutely no way the applause would have died down in the two-second pause between "Alexander Hamilton" and "my name is Alexander Hamilton."

What complicates the matter a little is that being Latino is not exactly a matter of race. My great-grandparents were born and grew up in Mexico, and their families had lived in Mexico for generations prior, but to the average American person, they would look white, and one of their daughters was even born with blonde hair.
Being Latino is more of a cultural identity, one that has been lost on my family because when they moved to the U.S., they chose not to raise their childr

Not having Betsy Struxness in the Hamilton movie does a disservice to the show Jul 7
2020, 07:46:33 PM
When there are cast members who aren't the same as the ones who opened on Broadway, it's pretty clearly not the Original Broadway Cast. You could call it "the Original Broadway Cast with the exception of ensemble members Betsy Struxness and Emmy Raver-Lapman," but just saying it's the OBC point-blank is misleading.

Where is this on her website? I looked everywhere and found nothing about this. There is no direction or cohesiveness to her website I was sure I’d stumble onto a sourdough bread recipe or a TikTok on iPhone shortcuts."
She talks about her experience with Hamilton here (found by clicking About → Broadway & Beyond → Hamilton). This is her statement regarding her departure:
"With the move to Broadway, my experience with Hamilton began to shift. Gone were the days of collaborative developmental rehearsals where we all were creating and shaping the piece together. Our run at The Public Theater had solidified the mass of what Hamilton was, and the focus of rehearsals for Broadway were about whittling away some unnecessary story and making clearer the minutiae of the show. It was tedious and quick, necessary, but less enjoyable than the rest of the process. Hamilton being my 6th Broadway show in as many years, burning the candle at both ends was catching up to me. My body hurt. I found the show schedule frustrating and limiting. Performing 8 shows a week was losing its luster. I needed a break. About 6 months into the Broadway run, I was fairly angry most of the time and too tired to be almost anything but miserable, which were major indicators to me that I needed to move on, so I turned in my notice and left the show, ultimately at the apex of its popularity. To this day, I have never regretted that decision even though it meant not performing with the cast at the Tony Awards. Hamilton ushered me into full adulthood and with adulthood come priority shifts that one never dreams of as a child, when dreaming of taking centerstage on Broadway. I had finally accepted wanting both something more and something gentler at the same time. It was completely the correct decision. That being said, I am honored to have been part of such a magnificent show. I don’t think anyone necessarily thinks they’ll ever be in a phenom, like Hamilton or Rent or A Chorus Line. I certainly didn’t. Being in a theatrical game changer, also tends to change the game of life. I was ready for that."

Yeah, that makes sense, and I understand that Hamilton isn't everyone's favorite show. I was more interested to see if they would nitpick little things about this recor

I just finished watching, and I'll admit to having had high expectations, which isn't always the best idea, but in this case, those expectations were absolutely met and even surpassed. Usually, when I watch pro-shots of musicals, there's some point where I get the sense that the camera angle being shown is leaving something out that I wanted to see, but I never felt that way once during this one (Jonathan Groff's excessive spluttering is part of his charm).
