SUNSET BLVD to transfer to Broadway
 Sep 12 2024, 09:46:52 PM

I miss the days of a good, well-designed campaign with an icon, like Sunset’s original street sign logo!


SUNSET BOULEVARD 2024 West End Cast Recording Thread

I understand the massive cost savings, but I hate these live recordings. 😢


Beanie Feldstein & More to Star in SPELLING BEE at Kennedy Center
 Aug 29 2024, 10:23:10 AM
I'm so glad Beanie is back in what will surely be a more successful venture for her! I was genuinely thinking we wouldn't see her again onstage, which would've been a real shame. The rest of the cast looks aces too. May be the best cast one could assemble for this following the original B'way one! Do we think a transfer might be possible?
Finale ceases support, acquired by Dorico: a quiet theatre industry shake-up

Yeah, this news is awful. I’m sorry for those affected and hope for an easy way to covert all those files! Does xml work universally enough? I only know enough to be dangerous.

Without the fantastic cast and Nichols' deft direction, it's just a rather vapid story of the quest for corporate acceptance.

But then, maybe that's what people want now?

So true. I would love to see more bite and retrospective assessment of 80s corporate and gender dynamics. Sadly, Lauper's not real


SUNSET BLVD to transfer to Broadway
 Jul 20 2024, 12:21:22 AM

Rita was awful. Not in good voice, couldn’t memorize the lines, very embarrassing and amateur. Rumour has it many of her lines were written out and pasted all over set and on props for her. Really sad, because you’d think she would be iconic. Chita’s name was also in the mix at one point, another great Latinx actress who sounds amazing on paper! I’m so sad the show didn’t run forever so we could’ve seen all the fascinating Normas!


Pocahontas needs to be a broadway musical!

We need a lush Tangled with Donna Murphy reprising Gothel. Now that sounds like a good prospect for a Disney screen-to-stage transfer!!!


Jason Robert Brown, Taylor Mac, Rob Ashford collaborating on MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL musical adaptation
 Jul 14 2024, 01:21:17 PM

There was SO much to like as others have mentioned! Brilliant performances, a great score, interesting ideas and characters, but it probably needs another workshop or developmental run. I didn’t see Ghee as the leading role, it felt incredibly ensemble-driven. The thing is that Lady Chablis in all iterations of this story is such a magnetic figure and, appropriately, shines so bright. I hate to say it because I genuinely enjoyed everything in the show, but there need to be cuts. The 11


Borle, Sykes, and Rodriguez will lead Kennedy Center's BYE BYE BIRDIE
 Jun 15 2024, 01:30:32 AM

So sad. I was really hoping for a transfer because fall looks bleak until November after Mary and some of the Tony losers close up.

Was Harvey doing book overhaul and Mae I hope?!?! I would sell a limb for that. 


The first look inside
 Jun 1 2024, 01:19:32 PM

I said I hoped this was rehearsal footage and it was very untheatrical. I'm well aware what ballroom culture is and the theatricality involved, I've helped organize a few. This clip did not really resonate as "ballroom" for me. As for Paris Is Burning, I have had the movie memorized for more than half my life. So, let's hope the arrow this production shoots goes real high and we can shout "hooray for you"!

I still have high hopes for this production and

SARAH BRIGHTMAN To Star in Australian SUNSET BLVD.
 May 30 2024, 11:35:45 PM

These pictures just add to my frustration. The design is beautiful and she has the right look for Norma. I also appreciate the lack of turbans.

 May 30 2024, 11:29:48 PM

That has to be the worst promo I’ve seen. A bunch of people in p*say grabber hats dancing in street clothes in a pretty unexciting way in a non-theatrical setting? I’m hoping this is VERY early rehearsal footage at best. This has so much potential. Still, it won’t be worst Webber revival of the year, Sarah has that in her handbag. 


BEN PLATT: LIVE AT THE PALACE Thread
 May 30 2024, 11:16:45 PM

Kristin would’ve been a more appropriate act to reopen the Palace. It’s kind of embarrassing when the guest stars are on an entirely different level han the headliner. It’s like getting a cheese plate for dinner and a steak for dessert!


Maya Rudolph wants to do Broadway

The show, & most especially the title song, would need to be either completely revised or just deleted from the score. Not with all the lyrics about how she makes the cotton easy to pick, or how the South will rise again.

Mame is one of my favorite scores, but parts of it arejust is too problematic

I would be removing the YouTube clips of Sarah's Norma as fast as they were posted if I were on her team or the production team. It is painfully evident why they haven't released clips of her singing anything officially and she hasn't performed a number anywhere publicly yet.

Is it time for an American Idiot revival?
 May 19 2024, 01:45:11 PM

This would be great as a concert or a limited semi-staged thing, but it really never worked as a musical. I saw it several times and the story never seemed as coherent as Tommy or some other concept albums that have been translated to the stage.
