BCEFA flea market 2024 collectors unite
 Sep 22 2024, 09:16:50 PM

I think Roseland was such a **** show because it was a situation that was decided the morning of because of freak weather as opposed to something actually planned for... I think an indoor venue could certainly with planning.

Honestly I had fun. Got 7 playbills for under $15. Original casts of Cats, Color Purple (and a Fantasia one), 42nd (Original and Revival), Elain Stritch at Liberty, Guys and Dolls flop revival from 2009.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "I didn’t know Nicholas Christopher is only 34. Huh. Anyway, I love SRS, but 57 is definitely too old for the part. Ellen Greene did it in a concert version, and having originated in the role and played it in the movie, it was kind of a special event. Rob McClure was also a great Seymour I’m sure, but with the whole “Mushnik and Son” subplot, a 42 year old seems a bit of a stretch.."

Is it really Sherie? Someone posted what they think is the source photo for the outline. Is it worth getting tickets tonight before they're announced. Is this a pretty sure thing?


Beanie Feldstein & More to Star in SPELLING BEE at Kennedy Center

Crazy that my post telling them to get a hobby and stop being weird gets deleted while people here just get to take cheap shots at Beanie for the crime of taking a role she was bad at on Broadway like 3 years ago and they can't let it go...

So you're just kinda making **** up as usual.

Then why do most shows only ever have just a matinee on Sundays?

I assure you that she's not reading this thread in tears that more people are not wishing her well. Is this about you and Highland Guy or is it about Mia and the show? It certainly feels like you believe it's the former.

In cases like this, a standby is hired only because AEA requires it. They will typically cancel a performance if the star is unable to go on. Years ago I worked with the guy who was the standby for Brian Dennehy in Death of a Salesman at T

AEA AGMA SM said: "In 1977 the first Star Wars movie was only called Star Wars. The “Episode IV: A New Hope” wasn’t added to the opening scrawl until the 1981 re-release after Empire Strikes Back was released"

Yeah, but Empire was known as Episode V with no warning on its release in 1980. That's what they're getting at, that you learned Star Wars was 'Episode IV' when you sat down for 'Episode V' and also that there was 3


'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' at PAC reviews

Something I noticed tonight versus when I saw it early in the run, Tempress has so much more control over her voice now and it's a wonder to see. She's just so good.

Get a hobby. 

The show was just so amazing, everyone really fell into their roles. Being so much closer this time allowed you absorb the details of it all.

Also, when did Primo leave the show? There was a slip in the playbill today, but he was there to Guest Judge. Injury?

Intermission and it's so fire. Andre is really having fun and loosened up since I saw him early in the run. NPH and Phylicia Rashad are here. James Monroe Iglehart sitting in front of me. Very packed night.

You're saying that everyone should have access to income restricted tickets in a field that has been classist it's entire life and are very upset that you're only able to get access to substantially discounted tickets instead of nearly free ones. Clownery.

Sounds like SOMEONE doesn't qualify for TDF and is butt hurt about it...

Like... TDF tickets aren't going up (mostly) for the shows that are selling out. If you bought tickets early and got burned by that when they ended up ha

I don't know how many times it needs to be said, but calling something "Part 1/Part 2" in marketing hurts viewership. Hollywood has steered away from referring to things as such for almost a decade now. The people in middle America who will make up the bulk of the audience, did not know this movie was going to exist before trailers and marketing began so they do not know that it was announced as two movies.

Going back to Dune in fact, yes it wasn't greenlit for part 2


Considering America's gun problem, is ANNIE GET YOUR GUN incapable of being revived responsibly?
 Sep 5 2024, 11:17:57 PM

Annie Get Your Gun is a product of its time and I feel like people understand that? The shooting in the show is not in anyway irresponsible. It's literally just target shooting. Something that occurs at every county fair in the country, it's done at the Olympics, there's even a gun range on 20th St. 

I think people are able to discern Guns as used in AGYG versus School Shootings. I think the issue is that people probably don't really have a hunger for the show outs
