    What I find a little bit sad, is that all these great shows close because they didn't win at the Tony's. At least that's my guess.
    The Tony Awards shouldn't be coming with so much money so that that many shows NEED to win to go on running.
    I don't know if that makes any sense, but I just wanted to say that once.

    I completely agree with your opinion on The Prom casting, but I just hope they don’t completely overload it with just names (I personally don’t like James Corden, so I’m not ready to see him in it, but everyone else casted makes sense)

    • @FrenkTheJoy
      @FrenkTheJoy 5 років тому +4

      Yeah, I had no idea what The Prom was, but most of the cast has good singing and acting credentials, some even have stage experience, so I thought they were good choices for "big names to draw in crowds who are also actually talented".

    In addition to the story about The Prom, it is also easier to access and view movies, given that movie tickets are SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper than most and average theatre tickets, so seeing the movie and not liking it won't be/feel like as much of a loss/sucky feeling as much as it would to buy theatre tickets and see a show (especially if you have to travel a bit to go to the theatre). I really wanted to see The Prom while it was still on Broadway. I never listened too much to the soundtrack, so I cannot say much about the music, but from what I have listened to, it is really nice. Likewise, the story is incredible, and I hope and look forward to seeing it on the big screen.

    I've really tried to like BMC because a lot of my acquaintances do but I just can't. The show is so disrespectful and ignorant when it comes to mental disorders that, as someone who suffers ADD and depression, it's just offensive. Also the music is good but the lyrics feel like they were either written by an edgy middle-grade kid imagining their future high school experience or an adult who didn't go to school and bases every plot on clichés used on teen movies.

      CindyLu Whovian I was thinking when I typed it that Riverdale probably wasn’t the best example of his work when it comes to musicals 😂 He actually holds the record for the most scripted tv series on air at the same time with 18 shows on, controlling more than half of the CWs scripted tv shows (all of the DC/WB superhero shows on the channel so they’ve definitely got the sci fi aspect of be more chill covered between the two producers!) I wonder if they’ll get a director who has a lot of experience with musicals so they will have the musical aspect well covered too.

    So what I take from this is that there will be people who are angry about everything. All the time. And you can’t please them no matter what you do. 🧐
    Also growing up with olive skin and very dark hair (being constantly called foreign or being asked what country I was born in), I used to get really sad as a child that unless there was a requirement for a specific different ethnicity in a Disney movie, every princess was blonde with ivory skin and blue eyes. And it seemed that those who looked like me were always portrayed as the villains. I know that this is not really comparable to the struggles that black people go through trying to be represented, but just personally as someone who looks a bit different I would love to see a Disney character who has a different skin tone just for the sake of it, and not because they have to for the purpose of the story. Ya get me ?

    Amy I looooove your channel 💛 could you do a video about musicals that every theatre lover should know? I'm from a country where there's not a music theatre culture so is really hard to find understandable information. I would really appreciate it 💛💛

    I do agree with what you had to say about the Prom cast, but I feel that some of the cast was decided without truly thinking of the roles. To me, James Corden does /not/ read anything like Barry. I'm iffy about Meryl as Dee Dee. I get why casting big names will help the movie, but I think there are other big names who would suit the roles better. Also, I'm sure there are /some/ members of the cast that would do well in movie. It would have been nice if even just a couple people from the Broadway cast got to do it.

    • @katyscott87
      @katyscott87 5 років тому

      Agree!
      The frustration is not just OBC vs Big Names. Most musicals don't cast like Rent did, so I don't expect them to.
      My first thought with Meryl as Dee-Dee was, "But she's too obvious... But I guess for good reason." But that doesn't mean that any of these talented performers that they've cast would be the best fit for those roles. I also think that she doesn't have to be the only movie-musical lead out there... We can give some other folks a chance. I would have loooved to see Sara Ramirez (OBC of Spamalot, Grey's Anatomy) dust off her inner diva. (And we know she can act for the screen, cuz she's been on TV ever since. I mean, I guess she's not as A-list though.) My thought about James Corden as Barry is that while he *seems* obvious on the surface because both he and Barry are a bit...extra? campy? But there's more to it than that. There's a sincerity & vulnerability to the role. I think he did a good job with a more sincere role as Baker in Into the Woods, but I'm concerned that he'll see this as a good excuse to be the same old Crosswalk Musical James that he's used to. I can't think of a comedic role that I've seen from Nicole Kidman?... Besides, I feel like Angie was basically written for Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), although I'm open to other ideas. I'm surprised by Keegan Michael Key for Principal Hawkins, and I'm sure there's probably a better fit, but I don't have any particular complaint there. Andrew Rannells, I'm good with.
      Uncast:
      I'd love to see Auli'i Cravalho (Moana, Rise) as Alyssa. And Lea Salonga (singing voice of Jasmine & Mulan, OBC of Allegiance) as Mrs Greene. I'd love to see Tom Holland (Spiderman, West End: Billy Elliot) dust off his inner singer for Nick or Kevin. Apparently someone told him that he wasn't a good singer, and he believed them, and stopped singing... Instead of believing the people who HIRED him as a swing/understudy, and PROMOTED him to the TITLE ROLE of Billy Elliot. Take voice lessons if you need to get un-rusty, but you'll do fine.
      I'm excited that they're planning to find a newcomer for Emma, but I'm concerned that she might have trouble finding roles after this, as some other non-typical-ingenue type newcomer leads have. Eg, it seems that Nikki Blonsky has had some trouble staying busy since Hairspray. (And I was assuming the same for Maddie Baillio (Hairspray Live) and Shanice Williams (Wiz Live), but it turns out they were on break from college for those roles, and have recently graduated. So they've got time.) I'm not trying to be rude, it's just harder for some people to get cast if they're not the straight, white, skinny (or buff), cultural ideal of beauty. Outsider roles are harder to come by, and often get outsourced to A-listers anyway. So it's like: oh, you're overqualified for the smaller role, but we just can't see you in the lead.
      You didn't really sign up for all this commentary, but here we are. Lol. Had to get it off my chest.

I was gutted when they announced it was closing because I'm off to New York again next October and was hoping it would last till then at least. What about The Cher Tea or the "Snap Out of It" Tea????
