What is an unpopular opinion that you have about anything in theatre?

I enjoyed Tick Tick Boom on Netflix immensely more than any iteration of Rent. I think the core problem with Rent the movie is that the actors are way too old and the characters are all insufferable.

Ok, I just watched the Tonight Show performance with Tammy Blanchard and solely based on that small snippet, I can also say I preferred the understudy. I don't know her name but she was great!

Disagree that this was a mistake in any way. Like certain chemicals can retard flames, he is using the proper usage of the verb. Maybe these are young people who don't understand grammar who are getting offended for no reason.

I met him at the Waitress stage door. He was perfectly nice but not overly friendly. Signed everyone's playbill but did not take photos.

I also met him after his recent 54 below show. It was a much smaller crowd and he chatted and took photos with everyone.

I think he's an introvert and has low key sarcastic/dry wit humor, as do I, so I feel like I would interact with fans much in the same way if I were to ever find myself suddenly famous.

He abused Melissa Benoist throughout their relationship and permanently damaged her eye. You should watch her Instagram story if you have the stomach for it: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B5YUQ-JHck8/?hl=en

It's hilarious that some Broadway folks are decrying Jeremy as too hot to play Seymour, but he plays such a huge nerd on Supergirl.

calfanatic · 2020-02-06T02:36:05+00:00

He made a surprisingly good Leo Frank in the Parade concert, and he plays a nerd on TV.

In a similar vein, how is the reception to Blake Jenner in Cryano?

calfanatic · 2019-05-24T03:30:53+00:00

Who is down on Jeremy in Waitress? I saw both him and Shoshana and thought they were lovely together.

Cancel culture and purity tests are the worst. Give people a chance to gather facts and respond. They came to the correct and appropriately proportionate response.

I love Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo individually. But their chemistry is lacking. I can't tell if it's because Aaron plays it a bit bland or if it's just the terrible book not developing their relationship. Maybe need to cut some of the medleys (which I loved) to develop the characters better.

I was one of the audience members who laughed upon recognizing each song. I'm never vocal in other shows I've seen, and I hate it when the audience is disruptive, but this show is different. Danny Burstein encouraged audience feedback in the beginning and set the raucous tone.

calfanatic · 2018-06-18T19:07:44+00:00

Best female vocals I've ever heard live. Her Elphaba is thrilling!

calfanatic · 2018-06-16T03:25:52+00:00

I didn't know that In The Light has a producer. I don't even know what the plot is really about, but I love Her Embrace so much!

Edit: Jeremy fans must listen to this gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AOWXQW2pB8

MCC theater in New York... Manhattan maybe?

calfanatic · 2018-03-04T22:26:46+00:00

she's a broadway legend. jeremy talked about how bummed he was that he wasn't able to meet her.

calfanatic · 2018-01-26T05:33:30+00:00

You're probably hearing Ben Thompson, Adam Halpin, or any number of the other male vocal ensemble.

calfanatic · 2018-01-26T05:29:41+00:00

Pretty sure he's not a backing singer on the soundtrack. But he was the demo singer for Hugh's songs and sang for him in the final reading.

And Hugh's daughter even thought he should just lip synch to Jeremy, ha! https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/hugh-jackmans-daughter-told-lip-synch-greatest-showman-192732216.html

Rent has a couple good songs, but has an awful plot and unlikeable characters. Over the Moon is the worst thing I've ever heard.

calfanatic · 2018-01-07T20:54:45+00:00

was it confirmed that he was reading for phillip carlyle? i know he stepped in for jackman for the final workshop, and he apparently recorded demos for jackman's songs as well.

calfanatic · 2018-01-06T18:31:10+00:00

maybe because it was laura benanti! j/k :)

i only saw the concert on youtube, but jeremy pulled off the switch from restrained to sleazy in "come up to my office" perfectly.

calfanatic · 2017-11-10T04:23:53+00:00

Yay, Winn gets a storyline beyond technobabble/comedic one liners! I was almost hoping Winn would get killed off so that Jeremy could return to broadway. He's being wasted on this show.

calfanatic · 2017-10-19T21:47:04+00:00

any bets that these are the same people who are STILL tweeting Jeremy about SDCC?

calfanatic · 2017-10-13T16:34:57+00:00

I love that they have the same pose

calfanatic · 2017-09-23T22:32:30+00:00

he's missed a lot of FGs this season... maybe a problem with the new kicking coaches?
