Debbie Allen could work... As would Sheryl Lee Ralph. I'd like to see a younger, sexier Dolly. I know they're clamouring for Bernadette Peters, but I just can't get behind that.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg I'd wine and dine her, in hopes of getting some hot Justice gossip... http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/double_x/doublex/2015/03/150316_DX_RBG_NotoriousKing.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg

There's currently no CDC approved test for HPV in men https://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-and-men.htm You can get the vaccine, with it being best before age 32. I'd still chance it and get it no matter what age you are, especially if you can get an insurance company to cover the cost.

Exactly. This was a concert performance. A chance for her to show off the fact that she's got at least 6 octaves at play But to be truthful, Eder was never a good actress. She colors her singing with beautiful emotion, but give her lines and it sounds as hollow as a tin can.

She's like Streisand... If Streisand could still hit these notes squarely. Eder is a nice example of a singer who has taken very good care of her instrument, allowing her to still hit these incredible notes with impressive control.

This is a little known secret, but Joseph was actually written by Don McLean Ah, Laurie Beechman. I never had the pleasure of seeing her live, but her YouTube videos are awesome. She had a BELT. I did like some of the newer arrangements of Joseph in the last few West End revivals. It allowed whomever played Joseph to show off a nice pop-leaning tenor and kept things a little more exciting. Sorta like the '94 revival of Grease on Broadway: Those arrangements were just AWESOME. Sam Harris and Billy Porter shook the roof.

Bingo. Banging Andrew-Lloyd does tend to change things a bit. And speaking of ALW, don't throw something at me, but I've been hankering for a Joseph revival. Would love to see it modernized and cleaned up a bit. I think it's one of those ridiculously inoffensive musicals that would do well with today's Broadway ticket buyer.

Some might say he never had much ability to sing in the first place. I was never a fan of his rather weak-sounding Phantom... Same goes for Brightman: She breathily warbled her way through the show and there have been a number of better-sung, more technically proficient vocalists tackle Christine. Dolly the film was okay. It felt like a vanity project (which, let's face it, is most of what Streisand has done since hitting it big).

If it does, I gather the camera equipment will be sponsored by Vaseline.

Her Fosca was fantastic. Murphy had that blend of melancholy, awkwardness and bitter self-concern that made her magnetic to watch. Trivia: The part was actually originally offered to Patti LuPone, but she turned it down for Sunset Blvd in London.

I'd say you hit the nail on the head already without knowing it: He's wholesome looking, not covered in ink and has a nice smile. He looks approachable. If an escorting character is wrapped up in having the best body or biggest dick, you're fighting a losing battle.

I believe he's under contract as long as Midler is, through January 2018. I'd love to see Danny Burstein or Boyd Gaines take a crack at it.

Sexy. As. Fuck.

I know this sounds insane, but an acquaintance of mine who's connected to producing the show said that Rudin had approached Nathan Lane to take on the role of Dolly at some point down the road. After thinking it out a bit, I think he could be quite endearing if he didn't mug too much through it. I'd love to see a suitably sung black Dolly, ala Pearl Bailey. There is no shortage of amazing women who could handle that. I'd love to see Heather Headley take a crack at it. The weak spot in the show remains David Hyde Pierce. He's wildly inconsistent with his character. Some performance I've seen he seems fully engaged with the rest of the cast and others it feels like he's doing an entirely different show. Very odd.

Murphy is brilliant. In many ways superior to Midler... Catch her at a decent price while you can. A TDF membership is a must for anyone who loves theatre.

And frankly, anyone who drops a hand-held mic isn't smart enough to know how expensive some of them can be

Any of the lexicon from the reality show Drag Race. There's truly nothing more attractive than hearing grown men speak like drag queens, loudly, in public.

Ah, gotcha. I don't think the OP was comparing the two as in level of medical seriousness: I believe he was only saying that he thought ANY STD should be disclosed.

I don't believe that anyone was comparing the two directly in this thread. Perhaps confusing the two acronyms, but not comparing. I could be wrong, as the thread took an odd turn into STDs other than what the OP described. I agree with you about singular personal responsibility, but I'm also all for being honest with yourself and not putting others at risk if you know there's an existing problem. You don't put a racehorse on the starting line when he's got a broken leg.

Yes, Twinrix is a 4 shot procedure: Anything less and you didn't get properly combination vaccinated. Likely with a 2-shot schedule, it was Hep A that Latbear was inoculated against. The vaccination is called Vaqta.

Yes, some of us do know if we have HSV1: A full panel (IgG) will disclose it. As an escort, it's my job to know- with as little doubt as possible- whether I'm negative or positive for anything that I can pass onto others. If I did test positive (for anything), I would contact as many recent sexual partners as I could, to let them know what the issue was. That's being a responsible sex worker in my eyes. You might think it's overkill. If so, we can agree to disagree. If an escort knows he's tested positive for something that could negatively affect a client, it's not unreasonable to expect him to say something or simply not take the job until the outbreak has subsided.

Ah, you are correct. Sorry about that. But the sentiment remains relatively the same

What about something like HSV1? He knows, you don't. He doesn't tell you. You can't always easily see an outbreak. A condom doesn't prevent this... But an honest conversation might. Don't blame the escort? My ass. It takes two to tango. I understand what you're saying personal health responsibility when it comes to anal sex or even oral sex, but just going in for a kiss? That's something a lot of guys don't think about, but probably should.

Agreed. When sex is part of your business, disclosure is part of being a decent human being.
