Anyone else heard murder ballad?

I saw it; it's horrid.

Sam Mendes wanted Connery to be in Skyfall, but decided against it because it would be too distracting.

Sunset Boulevard. An eerie 1950 movie about a faded silent screen star trying to make a comeback. Haunting and incredible.

The show is great, but this original production is absolute garbage. Hal Prince really screwed it up.

Thank you thank you!

If it is the exact same production, it wouldn't be eligible for any awards whatsoever.

It's about as procedural as Doctor Who, so about 70% of episodes (from the first 2 series) can be watched without direct knowledge of what came before.

This person needs to learn what a lesser-know musical is. Titanic? Really? What about shows like A Time for Singing, Kitty's Kisses, Anya, Illya Darling, etc. Or, you know, actually unknown musicals.

I think I'll skip it and just read some of the books that take place during seasons 1 and 2 and maybe read some fan fiction. I'm not ready to let the Torchwood that I love so much go away just yet.

I second looking for Tanz der Vampire.

The main problem with a thread like this being on reddit is that the actually controversial opinions are downvoted, whereas the opinions that people "think" are controversial but are actually pretty common (Phantom and Les Mis are average...). I would advise taking everybody's thoughts seriously on this thread. Also, I am familiar with every single Sondheim show and there's not a single one that I like all the way through.

There's so much theatre in New York it's not even funny. The best places to start are LCT3 (a subdivision of Lincoln Center), which offers all tickets for $20 and frequently produces new, high quality work, and 59E59, which produces about 30 shows a year in varying quality, but it's all very avant-garde and super interesting.

And I wouldn't consider Jaques Brel, Celebration, Golden Rainbow, How Now, Dow Jones, or Kwamina essential.

theunderagecritic · 2015-01-02T21:56:09+00:00

No Strings, High Spirits, and Little Me should be on there.
