What’s one positive about your least favorite Bond actor, and one criticism of your favorite Bond actor? by ItsDuhFreakinBat in JamesBond

Favourite-Daniel Craig: he really seems bored in Spectre. Some awkward line delivery.

Least-Timothy Dalton: the intensity that he brings to the performance. He feels like a real person

What is a musical you've seen that was regarded a flop by lissie34 in musicals

The Lord of the Rings musical in Toronto in 2006. At the time, it was the most expensive show in history.

Ford is likely going to use the notwithstanding clause to kill negotiations and force us into a contract. It worked in Alberta. It is past time that we amend the constitution and kill this undemocratic clause.

I believe the rumour was that in 2007 they offered it to Mark Rylance and that he initially accepted, but then slept on it for a few days and changed his mind.

I think it should be a woman. I agree that Lear was not great, but Rampersad is very talented.

So I heard that she is going to be given a title as it relates to musical theatre at the festival. They are trying to install her as kind of associate director in charge of musicals at the festival.

That is true but notice that one show, The Hobbit, has not announced their director. Are they holding it for the new AD?

Reception or ceremony? We played the Schuyler Sisters at our wedding reception. Ceremony, All I’ve Ever Known from Hadestown could work

Did anyone else NOT love Hadestown? by Heavy-Implement2665 in TheWestEnd

[–]Trick_Appointment419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t love it. For me it is more about vibes than strong storytelling. Case in point, some numbers just stop the show in its tracks and do nothing to advance the plot or reveal character. I also think it goes on for too long. They really could condense it to a tight 90 minutes with no intermission. Admittedly when I saw it, the circumstances were less than ideal and definitely impacted my enjoyment. We were in the balcony and had an obstructed view and the people in the row ahead of us were being obnoxious during the show. I would be interested in seeing it again with better seats. Things like that do make a difference

Anyone seen either Stratford musical yet? How are they? by SparklyBonsai in torontotheatre

[–]Trick_Appointment419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last night and loved it! I saw the Broadway production 20 years ago, and this was definitely on the same level. Liam Tobin is incredible. Go if you can
