"why are pop stars turned actors always so dead in the eyes when they act?"

 

Actually he started on stage and then became a pop star.

"Did Bea Arthur have plastic surgery?"

 

No Rose, she had a head transplant

'It still boggles my mind why she would agree to making her Aretha series when Jennifer Hudson had already been cast by Aretha herself, and the biopic was already underway."

She did it because she's a working actress and needs to pay the rent, and oh she probably wanted the part.You're not one of those people that think every actor is a millionaire who can just turn down work left and right, are you?

Loving theaters as much as shows themselves, I've sat everywhere thru the years from front row, boxes to back row but not a big fan of theaters with no standing room. It cuts off access to many who just can't afford a seat. As a kid on Long Island, you could hop on the LIRR on a Sat morning and get standing room for $10 bucks and see the hottest show in town, but not here. In everyone's re-imagined renovation of the Broadway add standing room.too.

Legend? Define legend.

Why are they taking six months to re-open a show that needs maybe three weeks rehearsal to get everything up to pace again?

Because like his productions, they are limited runs.

" She once made her dad cry in a Barnes and Noble elevator. She was there for some book signing and she was treating him like dog****. Her own FATHER."

He didn't buy the book?

Go to 3:10 into the video. It looks like Linda three panels up and three panels across. Love all the choreography panels. So much to take in.

If this doesn't make you smile I don't want to know you....

How many comps did he happily hand out with his Q&A tour with Anderson Cooper?

I believe the music is actually two clues for two different shows.

"Night Must Fall" 1999 Lyceum with Matthew Broderick & Judy Parfitt.

Everyone sitting there waiting for the show, chatting, reading the Playbill and BOOM all the lights go out and everyone is in complete darkness as a huge thunderclap hits. Everyone jumped, totally unexpected as the lights come up on a rainstorm outside the drawing room set windows. So cool and that effect would never work today as there would be a hundred phone screens illuminating the room.

My friend saw it and loved it. But he is like 99% of the world who go to see shows to be entertained which he was. He doesn't see shows with the purpose of destroying it, analyzing every moment, song, dance step or painted flat.

" Will Swensons dinger in hair."

Wow consider yourself lucky as the Broadway lore is with speed, lighting and hiding behind the rest of the cast, seeing Will Swenson's "dinger" was rarer than an actual Bigfoot sighting

Not going to relist the usual suspects already listed, one I haven't seen anyone mention is Sigourney Weaver going tits to the wind in "Hurlyburly".

Question, why would you be open only until 4:30? Is that the time the city allows at your location? One would think you would very well with Broadway based merch up until 8:00pm with the thousands of people passing on their way to an actual Broadway show?

You do realize it's not 1980 anymore? Now besides just box office, there are 4K/Blu-ray/DVD/Digital sales, (which includes library and rental kiosk locations) Premium Cable, Basic Cable, local networks, PPV, On Demand, Streaming and Soundtrack revenues too. It may never make a profit, time will tell, but will most likely break even.

Perhaps Mr.Corden will elevate the piece to the success the show never achieved.
