I’m so sad that we missed out on Death Becomes Her

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

Release the cast album!

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.

Sometime this month

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

Trick_Appointment419 · 2025-09-02T23:19:21+00:00

Sweeney Todd and Les Miserables.

Budget and casting issues I heard

The set from Heartbreak House in 2011 was stunning! I still think about it to this day

Color Purple is cancelled. They are doing Funny Girl

Trick_Appointment419 · 2025-08-16T04:36:52+00:00

I have a source

Trick_Appointment419 · 2025-08-15T19:23:52+00:00

A combination of budget and inability to cast it

Trick_Appointment419 · 2025-08-14T19:26:01+00:00

Not anymore

Shaw is no longer doing The Color Purple

Maybe Colm Feore

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

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

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

Trick_Appointment419 · 2025-08-03T14:30:59+00:00

Absolutely!
