  1. I really want to see this movie. I wouldn't if it was in Spanish. I don't think I am alone in that.
  2. I bought the cast album years ago but could never get into it (which happens sometimes) I hope the movie helps me with that.
  3. I was intending for it to sound like satirical commentary, but the context might have failed me. The background may/may not be helpful. When Josh Groban left The Great Comet, he was replaced by an African-American actor who was not a name. The show struggled to find an audience without a name. When they announced replacing him with Mandy Patinkin, Cynthia Erivo and others rose up in outrage on social media, Patinkin backed out, and the producers closed the show. Everyone was out of a job, the show never toured, and the show has been totally forgotten. Good work, Cynthia!
  4. Reminded me of the debacle of casting Mandy Patinkin as a Russian in The Great Comet. Couldn't let that happen. A light-skinned Russian? Is that even a thing? Let's close the show and put everyone out of a job instead. I haven't seen MHE. I assume the race of the robots doesn't matter (am I wrong?), or do they only have Asian or mixed robots? It seems the time to be upset would be casting a white actor in Flower Drum Song or Allegience, not a show about robots. I want there to be really exciting, diverse casting, and I wonder if these incidents will deter that.
  5. I am sure he was probably trying to be funny. I brought my nieces (the younger was 9) to Lightyear and no one cared about how two moms have kids. I didn't think it was a good movie; the creators seemed more concerned with representation than character development, but the kids really liked it. If I had been asked, I would have said, "Adoption," though I don't remember if she is ever shown as pregnant. I don't listen to his music, so I don't really care, as long as he is kind to gays who work with and for him. However, he should know better than to say that sort of stuff in public.
  6. I am too inexperienced to have much opinion. I definitely see the caution of things getting very uncomfortable. However, I also see it as helping the guy out. He is clearly entrepreneurial, hustling (not in the CoM way) to get started in a business. It takes money to start a business, and he can make more on RM than detailing cars. If he is a nice guy (i.e. is going to be professional and level-headed) from a solid family (i.e. raised him with good values), it could be fine. You could always leave the RM landing page up on a laptop or on your phone in a way so he can see, and follow his response. That opens the door to discussion without your initiation.
  7. Nice work if you can get it. I hope it goes well for him.
  8. There were recent photos posted elsewhere online, and he retained his good looks.
  9. I found an obituary and gofundme online. He died of fentanyl, leaving behind three kids. It is a tragic loss. It also explains the mugshot. Addiction is terrible and turns otherwise wonderful people into someone else. Let's try to keep in mind who he was and how any one of us can fall into addiction.
  10. I try to ignore the news. We no longer have news sources. Mostly everything is manipulation. Opinion and speculation parade as facts. News articles drip with bias. So much information shared on social media is simply untrue. So, when you read the comments, what you are seeing is not a reflection of who the commentator is as a person; it is a result of the rabid manipulation machines fiercely at work on them and on you. I know someone who told me how important he thought it was stay informed and worked to keep on top of the news. Then I see what he shares on social media. A simple Google search shows he is reposting blatant lies. He is not the only one I know like that. I just stay off Facebook and unfollow people who share politicially infused elsewhere.
  11. I discovered Chad Douglas on X. I can't say much about him because I only recently learned about him. Beautiful, hairy, hung, with hot masculine daddy energy.
  12. I can't say I am disappointed to hear the news. The fewer of these insipid bio musicals, the more space for shows like Water for Elephants, Boop, In the Heights, and Next to Normal.
  13. What a nightmare. Thank you so much for looking out for us.
  14. Juan! "We are the Altar Boyz . . ."🎶
  15. I enjoyed the movie a lot. It was far better than the last two, which were awful. Put people on an island escaping dinosaurs, and as long as they don't do anything too outlandish, I will buy it. It is Jurassic World, not Fences. My only complaint was that some of the CGI looked cheap, particularly the water stuff.
  16. It looked delightful. Sometimes the best shows get shut out of the Tonys. Some of the Tonys performances were terrible. I look forward to getting the cast album. I wish I could see the show.
  17. Report back on what you thought!
  18. Recently watched her in "Meet Me in St. Louis."
  19. The "Dead Outlaw" Tonys performance felt like they were trying to get people to beg for refunds.
  20. How much time do you spend? I take about 20-30 minutes a day. A waste of time? Yes. Am I changing that? No.
  21. Periodically in my 30s, I got intense short-lived headaches.
  22. I suspect Salonga has been typecast for much of her career. I remember her once saying they wouldn't see her for Princess Amneris. I don't think someone returns to Broadway in shows like Allegiance and a revised Flower Drum Song because you are passionate about the work. Hopefully this will open doors for her.
  23. Hopefully she lives and learns. I can see her fruatration with Lewis, but her response was extreme. Sometimes a humble apology to someone who feels hurt, even if it is not warranted, helps heal. You don't have to be wrong to apologize or to respond with kindness. I think Patti is becoming a caricature of herself. She earned applause for yelling at people with cell phones and refusimg to wear masks, and now she feels happy to do it as a lifestyle choice. She gets streaming money, so she doesn't need Broadway. But it's one thing to attack Madonna or. ALW; that is like throwing a pebble at a whale. It is another to attack Kecia Lewis or Audra MacDonald, who are respected peers.
