BROADWAY SEASON PREVIEW 2023-2022 - Episode 118
Love the pod and love to hear that you loved sunset because I did not 😂. I think the musical itself is kind of bad, but i went in intrigued to find out why the fuck nicole was covered in blood. And i left still confused as to why she was covered in blood 😂. I felt like this production was very gimmicky. I understood most of the artistic choices but about 45% of them worked for me. I understand that this production is more of a nightmare rather than a linear story, however I felt like most of the gimmicks were for the sake of being a gimmick rather than serving the story. I was fascinated to hear that the finale sequence worked on you two, because when they were just running around I had to stifle a chuckle because the only thing running through my mind was the “why are you running” meme… that said, as soon as the murder happened I was on board again.
Those tickets were a STEAL. how much for the Cabaret one with the pre-show?
$66 with a SeatGeek first time buyers promo code!
❤❤❤❤ masterpiece !
We are so fortunate to have access to so many amazing shows and theatres in the city.
Agree! I'm sure there's so many shows we missed and that we'll discover over the next year.
Great episode ladies! I loved the Shaw musical, but the ending kind of ruined it for me. I wanted an updated ending. Shaw does a lovely job of providing classics as they were originally meant to be seen though, so no surprise.
You definitely know what you're getting at Shaw Fest, but I was spoiled with the ending on Broadway.
I agree about the gag/comedy musicals! I see both shows every year, and while I enjoy the comedy, the other show is generally more of a favourite! I would also love to see more interviews with Stratford actors! I feel like I learn a lot when I watch those eps from you!
We love doing those interviews too! Let us know if there's someone you really want to hear from this upcoming season.
Thanks for making this. I saw the show last week and was completely blown away. I want this musical to be accessible to everyone
We were so happy to catch Gatsby while it was playing. Can't wait to see it's next iteration!
Great job ladies! A couple of points - The current photos of CAA Mirvish Theatre on the website are not accurate, as they are still from the Harry Potter setup. The Cursed child had the Mezzanine ending in row P, but seats for the current shows go back to row W. Lastly, the reason they didn't just remake the movie is that Tina Turner gave an interview to Rolling Stone and said there were numerous things in the film that took creative licenses that she didn't agree with. She said the musical was more her story. I agree with many of your comments about the musical. I heard about your podcast on a reddit thread and checked it out. This was my first episode and I'm now subscribed.
Great insight on the Ed Mirvish! The musical being more her story makes sense, was just hoping for more creative liberties to be taken! -T
No new episode?
We'll be back on Monday for a new episode!
I flew to NYC with ticket in hand for Lempicka. An art deco lesbian love story, an original musical starring Eden Espinosa and directed by Rachel Chavkin?!?! Are you kidding, I'm in. I have rarely been so disappointed. First Eden was out the night I attended, which did not initiate a positive start. Second the staging, choreography and all the design work was stellar! Stellar!! But third damn was that book bad- so poorly paced, derivative, incongruous- and the score imo was so forgettable.
It's such a shame that the creative team couldn't quite make it work! I was so looking forward to Lempicka too as it seemed to be one of the most original and daring musicals of the season, with a stellar cast! But that doesn't count for much unless the book works! Musicals often live and die on their book, and Lempicka was no exception.
Excited for an episode on 2004! Have you guys watched the documentary Show Business: The Road to Broadway that was filmed BTS at Wicked, Avenue Q, Taboo, and Caroline or Change. Essential.
Yes! We both watched the doc in preparation for recording! We gave Taboo lots of airtime even though it wasn't nominated for best musical!
Yeesss!! I’ve been waiting to hear yall talk about this show!!
This show took over a decade of prep to reach the stage and it costs them around a million dollars per week to put on, so it's absolutely not a cash grab. If Bob Gale wanted that, he would have sold the BTTF franchise off to Disney or something. This musical is made with love for the fans of the trilogy. It is very much a passion project for Bob Gale (along with Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard) who can often be seen sitting in the audience of the West End and Broadway productions. Roger Bart is GOATed and can do whatever the heck he likes as far as I'm concerned. 😄 He's the only actor totally doing his own thing rather than an impression and "IT WORKS" for me. I did fly over from the UK, but because I had to book six months in advance, I just had to take a chance on which cast members would be in the show. It turned out that Roger was indeed on holiday the night we had bought front row seats for, but the box office allowed us to exchange those tickets for an earlier show when Roger was on. So I cannot speak highly enough of this production, its cast, crew and theatre staff. It's not for everyone, but as a lifelong BTTF fan it is most definitely for me. 😊⚡
I'm so happy you liked it! I wish I felt that passion from teh audience and didn't need you to share it with me. - S
I've have been waiting for this episode!! I look forward to this episode every year!
Happy to deliver! What's one nomination you definitely think is happening?
I saw Gutenberg last night and it was truly fantastic. It’s a comedic show about making a musical, the book is hilarious and the score is very catchy. Josh and Andrew were great. I highly recommend it
In case people are looking for other musicals around the GTA that may not have been mentioned, in the coming months October Sweeney Todd (Doctor Bird Productions) Bitter Girl The Musical (Drayton) Evita (Drayton) The Wild Rovers (Terrabruce) Boy Falls From The Sky [Barrie and Hamilton] (TIFT/Theatre Aquarius) November Parade (Wavestage) The Rocky Mountain Special (Buddies in Bad Times) Jesus Christ Superstar (TIFT) Fiddler on the Roof (Drayton) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Grand Theatre) December Chris, Mrs (Boldly Productions)
The Whoopi stunt cast you might be thinking of is Xanadu?
We need a full episode devoted to the history of Garth one of these days 😂
I was just watching your podcast, thanks for a super good podcast, but I have a few corrections for you, Alisha Weir was 10 years old when she was cast but due to covid it took time from when she was cast until the filming started, she was 11 years old when she got the role and was 11 - 12 years old during filming and she is 13 years old now, Alisha received dialect lessons before the filming begav, so that she could perform with a British dialect during filming.
I love hearing y'alls predictions, I think that there is going to be at least one out of the blue acting nomination for 1776, and Sweeny Todd is taking Scenic design hands down, you cant go wrong with Mimi Lien
Some rush tickets that I paid for were over 100 dollars
Like your video, you guys are fun together. Susan Stroman is supposed to choreograph New York, New York.😊
Thank you for listening!
Great podcasts
When Barbra Streisand sang I’m the greatest star and funny girl the movie the words were it must be a plot cause I’m scared that I got such a gift but in the revival of the play they change the words to I think it’s a plot which I think is wrong to do keep the words the same in the song
How could you not have seen Streisand in her legendary Oscar winning film performance? You're in show business???Newbies? You guys are babies. Love you, but "Research" girls. Sorry! This podcast is "very girls chatting in a dorm". Not interesting or illuminating.
Thanks so much for your comment! It's always nice to hear from fans!
Not a fan, sorry?
🙄Am I really watching these 2 girls talk about glee?
YUP YOU ARE - S
So lame! Its A high school podcast. Like who cares?
FYI-Paradise Square was shockingly good IRL…it was probably my biggest surprise this season, despite the Drabinsky of it all. And Joaquina is really something.
We've been very skeptical, but hearing a firsthand account makes me think again. I can't wait for the cast recording to come out so I can make a more informed judgement! - S
Just found you ladies in my queue (the YT algorithm is working!) & am very impressed with your content. Keep up the great work!
we should drink more often
Really feeling my makeup look this episode...
Great discussion ladies. I like the research you do. I was curious to hear your overall thought on this movie as opposed to just some of the elements. Like a rating of sorts I guess. This movie is tied for my favorite Cinderella movie along with Ever After with Drew Barrymore.
I LOVE Ever After, we were just talking about it when the new Cinderella trailer came out! And I'd give this Cinderella 4/5 glass slippers?
@@off2broadwaypodcast275 Yay! I’m glad you enjoy both of these films. 😎
It's like Stefania THINKS she can actually sing...I STAN A EAGER SINGER
