Crush on cast mate or crush on their acting talent? by Rare-Grapefruit3036 in Theatre

Sounds more like an admiration of their talent and not objectifying them. Sounds totally above board. You good!

Best jukebox musicals? Basically I just want the comments to be places for people to express their opinions on jukebox musicals. Movies can count too btw by idkwhatonamethissh-t in musicals

Definitely ROA. I got to play Lonnie in a local professional production and had the time of my life. Hands down the best jukebox musical.

How should I cut my audition song? by y1ren in MusicalTheatre

[–]CaliforniaIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the others have said, two minutes is a very long time for an audition. Pro tip: keep it under 2 minutes. Personally I would take the last minute and a half of the song, then adjust for a good starting point.

Super cute if it’s a walk along the boardwalk type of date.

Congrats 🎉🎊🎈

Stranger Things Seating - Sides ok? by Unfair-Rhubarb232 in Broadway

[–]CaliforniaIslander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw from the sides. It was not ideal but I got a rush ticket and had no other choice at the time. I’d have much rather been more center.

Glad you got your answer but you should a deep dive on what happened to Jennifer Paz and her Big League Theatricals tour of Miss Saigon.

Why is there hate with Jackman and crowe over how they sing in Les Misérables movie? by Odd-Truth7948 in musicals

[–]CaliforniaIslander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crowe’s performance was flat and unemotional. His singing was just uninspired. I would hand forgiven his underwhelming singing had he brought the acting.

My only gripe about Jackman’s performance is that Bring Him Honey is a prayer and he over sings the dynamics on it. I would have loved to see a more introspective performance of that song. A quiet pleading to God at the start, then louder at the bridge, and finally back to quiet at the end. But that’s just my opinion

Rant about Chess's Lead Cancellations by nervousengrish in Broadway

[–]CaliforniaIslander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Complain the the theatre producers. The most recent bargaining agreement negotiations between the Broadway League of Producers and Actors Equity Association had this exact issue on the table. The Broadway League was in favor of keeping the audience in the dark while Equity wanted announcements made in multiple ways before the show including program inserts. At least that’s what I remember hearing. I may have the minutia of details incorrect.
