Marshall legitimizes this no more than Bill Condon, who was previously attached for years and couldn't get it made."

Two of the four Oscar nominated films Marshall has made since Chicago received nominations in major categories.

It's non-Equity. Still weird they're allowing the productions to overlap

lol I don't think there's anything "wild" about releasing a family animated film on your streaming service at Thanksgiving.

I'm still holding out hope we get Death Drop at some point, but this has dates announced and tickets already on sale, so it's much further along than Death Drop ever got.

For anyone interested, code DGAFAN24 is good through Sunday for $47 mezzanine tickets (and some other discounted orchestra seats) for all of previews.

ATG is one of the producers, so the Hudson seems like the strongest possibility after Mattress closes, unless one of the long-running shows at a Jujamcyn theatre is closing by the end of the year.

Spring 2025, no theatre announced, Whitney White directing. Tickets on sale next month.

There are schools that don't even teach the Holocaust and you wanna know why they aren't using Finishing the Hat as a textbook?

I guess the rules against attacking performers are being selectively enforced again.

I will never understand the level of boredom or delusion or whatever you want to call it that drives anyone to seek out threads here about people or shows they don't like with the express purposes of being vitriolic. Read a book. Go to a movie. Talk about something you actually enjoy. It's exhausting to read your troll posts when we're trying to get reviews, suggestions, and information

Once Upon a One More Time

Shocked that, even with 6 nominees, somehow both Ricky Ubeda and Paul Alexander Nolan missed Featured Actor in a Musical.

I'm not as surprised by these nominees, overall, as everyone else seems to be, but seeing them all next to each other, I feel like the winners will be almost impossible to predict.

Yeah, they got some fine pull quotes that will look great blown up on billboards and on the side of the theatre.

Hell, they could probably sell more than a few seats just with the Washington Post quote that "your English teacher would hate this."

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Wish we lived in an alternate reality where this was directed by Robert O'Hara or Camille Brown or Whitney White or George Wolfe. Even Kenny Leon (historically bad with musicals) would have been better!"

Kenny Leon has directed The Wiz several times, including the NBC live adaptation, which was well-received.

"Based on another novel that has outlived its time and now sits gathering dust on the shelves of libraries on the verge of extinction..."

This is a gross but hysterically un-self aware statement for an 85 year-old theatre critic to make.

lol
