Oh, gee -- thanks for clearing that up! Had no idea something on AppleTV wasn't a live medium! (Though, ya know, it's about to be.)

Marla Mindelle and her co-creators do some absolutely top-notch work -- no shade on this production at all, I'm hoping to see it this fall. I didn't mean to press everyone's buttons -- but after a super clever title like "Titantique", kinda just felt Mindelle, et al, could do a bit better than what sounds, at best, like a great tagline; or at worst, a generic night of covers during Pride Month at 54 Below."

My comments weren't meant to be directed at any particular user. Just sharing that the title doesn't bother me and saying the 2 mediums are different in a cheeky way... until the stage production opens in DC. I just feel for the creative team because those comparisons are inevitable and the timing isn't ideal.

They've got her riding a bike with the lion cub in a basket a la Miss Gulch.

Well done, Jon Chu.

Huh.

What's with placing them on the railings?

it’s not as if the show matches the vibe of the Phoenix either."

I disagree. Felt like I was in an old movie house in Hawkins or an extension of the Creel House. 

RippedMan hit the nail on the head- The Marquis is a cruise ship theatre. Which I think some shows fit nicely in there (OUAOMT, Margaritaville, On Your Feet etc.)

Thought this show was a real thrill in London, however I don't love this house for it. I realize there's so many factors that go into moving forward with a space, I was just hoping for an older Hawkins-esque theatre for the transfer. The atmosphere at The Phoenix really contributed to the eeriness of the piece. Still super excited and happy for the Nederlanders to have a lengthy tenant at The Marquis.

For what it's worth, I just went to pick up tickets for later this year and around 10:50am, they were still selling standing room for tonight. Idk for anyone that's been staying away after hearing about 5/6am rush lines, it's still possible to see this on the cheaper side... and get some rest ;-)

Idk why but I have a hunch that 8-month Anne is Caroline Bowman. It doesn't explain why she had to leave Frozen a week before the tour closes, but just a gut feeling.

Betsy just confirmed her last show will be Oct 20th:

Sara Bareilles as Maria. 

I know, I know... she'd be an older governess but she has my vote.

Adding the 2001 revival cast recording of 42nd Street and Brooklyn! 

I'm sure there's more. It must have something to do with the record label and distribution rules yada yada.

For someone who saw a handful of dress transformation malfunctions, I can't wait for the folks in Eugene to watch Elsa rip off her own coronation dress in 2026 lol

Between North Shore Music Theatre and this, we love to see the fabulous Alyssa Fox get some closure with Elsa as well:

Agreed.

Think this tour will go non-eq?
