Broadway Flash said: "Why would any producer NOT have Sunday performances? It’s the biggest moneymaker"

From when I was working merch and would get the house counts, if not full house manager's report, Sundays were almost never the best selling performance of the week. That almost always went to, as expected, Friday nights, and both performances on Saturdays.

Thank god somebody finally had the sense to say this. How can you change the “setting” of a show that doesn’t have a defined “setting”? You’re trying to tell me the concept of this show is Rose is only interested in breaking into the Vaudeville circuit in Louisiana? Doubtful.

If only there was a caption under the photo that included her name, and her name was hyperlinked to her bio and credits. If only...

Ahhh, the ever shifting goalposts of Broadway Flash

Which would be a fun little moment for me, since last time I did the show, which was in summer stock way back in 2001, we did Mrs Potiphar as a Britney homage

NOWaWarning said: It’s an homage to Jenny in Forrest Gump. Jokes aside, I agree there’s no way either film would be ratedabove PG. Nothing in the stage show would warrant a PG-13 rating and the tone and marketing are clearly aiming at a broad, family-friendly audience."

So we’re not getting the darker scenes added in from the book, like when one of the boys gets f***ed by a Tiger? Well damn, why even go see it then?

Is there anything that even shows they are using the green glasses in the Emerald City? They weren’t used in Maguire's novel, and even in the Baum books they were dropped after the second one. So I get why they were part of Hilferty's design for the stage, but I also wouldn’t think twice if they weren’t an “everyone wears them” element in the movie.

If adapting Dracula you need to still be very careful that you aren’t pulling elements that came from other adaptations that may still be under copyright protection. For instance, the idea that sunlight kills him is not present in Stoker’s novel so it could still potentially throw up a rights issue, similar to using the Ruby Slippers in a production of The Wizard of Oz that is not based on the MGM movie.

One of the rare times where a show actually should have been at least a partial jukebox musical. So much time spent talking about great recording artists and their top hits, and then you never hear any of that music and instead get som pastiche pieces that are watered down versions of the real music that was being discussed
