Years before the announcement of the film, I was away in my giant Les Miserables phase, and enjoying every bit of the fandom from Письмо comics about the characters (involving voodoo dolls) to wasting my time on Форум boards Чтение potential cast members for the film. After watching the King's Speech and hearing the announcement of Tom Hooper's direction, I was thrilled that this long-awaited baby would be delivered by what seemed to be a good midwife.

I know I am going to be speared for this, but I adored the film adaptation. I...

Mad for Мюзиклы Review- Jekyll and Hyde (2001 DVD)

posted by LittleLottie

"Jekyll and Hyde" the musical, like its protagonist, can switch between being bad and being good. Also like the doomed scientist, although it works to ignore that its bad, often the bad wins over the good.
The "Musical Thriller" is based on the 19th century novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Although the novels actual plot tends to be forgotten, what has made the story so famous is its main premise: a doctor named Henry Jekyll experiments with himself in an attempt to separate the bad side of him from the good. What results is the birth of his uncontrolled трещина, сплит personality, the sinister and murderous...

"Little Women" Broadway Musical Review

posted by TBUGoth

So after a день where I was told to go to college to get a high-paying job and make my passion for Письмо a hobby, I listened to the Original Broadway Cast of "Little Women." "Better" captures Jo's character better than all the adaptions I've seen "Home Alone" gives Marrmee's character the development she has been so long denied. "Could You?" Makes Aunt March the manipulative witch she is. "I'd Be Delighted" gives Meg's character a bit of nuance. "Take a Chance on Me" will please any Jo and Laurie shipper. "Small Umbrella in the Rain" sells Jo March MARRYING better than any other adaption!...

My Experience Growing Up with Broadway's "Peter Pan"

posted by TBUGoth

"Peter Pan" was my first Broadway musical, and is one of my Избранное Мюзиклы besides "The Phantom of the Opera," "Annie," and "Oliver!" When I was six my family and I went to BlockBuster and got the VHS tape of "Peter Pan" my mom had asked me "Do Ты know a woman named Mary Martin played Peter Pan?" I had seen the Дисней version, so a woman playing Peter was special. I liked Peter because he didn't grow up, and he could fly. I watched the Mary Martin version with my family. My Brother, Sister, Mom, Dad, and me. I LOVED it еще than the Дисней version. Though we lived out in rural New Mexico...

Musical Reveiw- The Book of Mormon (1st National Tour)

posted by LittleLottie

Let’s face the truth.
Religion is a touchy subject.
So touchy, that dare sort of medium discusses или uses it, there will be hate letters and hate mail streaming through the creators mailboxes and computers. Even Godspell as harmless as it seemed was criticized for portraying Иисус as a clown.
So what happens when Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the writers of a notoriously offensive, but surprisingly thoughtful and extremely well-written cartoon series make a musical discussing religion, using The Church of Latter день Saints as its focus?

Peter Pan Live's Binarism

posted by TBUGoth

Binarism, a word which here means has to be a man или woman. For Peter Pan, this means The coloring looks like a Барби doll & the рубашка is WAY too low cut, the V emphasizes Alison Willams' breasts, particularly when she's in motion, the рыба netting gives it a hint of sexuality. For Tiger Lily, it's even worse! I'm nonbinary, and I don't dress in party streamers, или like a stripper! Being that Alanna Saunders is Cherokee, this is intersectional racism, или racism and sexism combined! The choreography for "True Blood Brothers" emphasizes the cut in the stripper outfit that goes up to her...

Mad for Мюзиклы Review- The Phantom of the Opera (2004 Review)

posted by LittleLottie

For every Musical Fanatic, there will always be that one show. This Показать proved to them that Мюзиклы were far еще than anything they have ever known или seen. This Показать was the white rabbit that lead them into a phantasmagorical land of diva ballads, chorus numbers, and red curtains. For me, personally, this Показать was Phantom of the Opera. I had first learned about Phantom when I was 11 and at the time, there were no nearby touring productions. But thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I knew a film of the musical existed and rented it as soon as I could. This film became the center my pre-teen...

People of the internet, welcome to Dickensworld!
Dickensworld is a magical, fascinating place. Ты will find yourself in England, especially in London, from the period of 1820-1865.

This social commentary will be almost everywhere. It’s filled with interesting characters weather they are pure, sweet angels, eccentrics, или Lucifer incarnate. Oh, and keep an eye...

Pippin 2013 Revival Review!

posted by LittleLottie

When I first viewed Pippin with Ben Vereen in the DVD of the 1982 Toronto production, I had one giant problem with it that was keeping from absolutely loving this musical; it was dated. Weather it was the hair, the music, или the в общем и целом, общая staging, the cobwebs somehow kept me from completely appreciating this wonderful musical.
And then came this revival, and it did just that. I can describe it in just 2 words: circus spectacle. It is easy to have a big Broadway musical that is spectacular in the fact that the spectacle in which millions of dollars are spent on it to make it look huge, but here,...

Mad for Мюзиклы Review- Chicago (2002 Movie)

posted by LittleLottie

In 1975, a stage musical based on a stage play, Chicago, premiered.It enjoyed a modest amount of success and years later, when the revival came up, it became the 6th longest running musical on Broadway. In 2002, a film adaption of the musical was released, directed by Rob Marshall. It was this version that got the much-desired praise. It won several Oscars, including Best Picture. However many people who viewed the film- critics and ordinary people-saw the film as insanely overrated. So is Chicago all that jazz? или is it one crummy dummy hubby of mine? Let's review what the film accomplishes...

Peter Pan Live Review!

posted by LittleLottie

Leave all Heterosexuality at the door

I have mixed feelings about the NBC Live Musicals. (Please take note, I have not seen its Sound of Music).
On one hand, they are getting Мюзиклы back into mainstream culture, sparkling an interest in Мюзиклы into the Далее generation, and giving families something fun to watch on Телевидение together.
But on the other hand, from what I have heard about from the Sound of Музыка live…They can be pretty overblown copies that add “cool” millennial crap.
Peter Pan Live, though I was extremely skeptical at first about it, is surprisingly better than I thought. It has its problems, oh yes it...

do Ты know how musical theatre was made?

posted by emostan

Mussical theatre was actually an accident. there was a play going on in new york in 1866 called 'The Black Crook'. The producers thought it needed еще pazzas.
Meanwhile, a ballet was going on down the street. it was opening night but before it opened the theatre was burned down.
In order to save both shows, they mixed both productions together. yes, the audience was surpised,but they loved it. New york came out with some new productions and musical theatre was born!
Yes, everything in this Статья is ture. i know, i was suprised too.

Elizabeth Stanley, Kelly Jeanne Grant, Angel Desai and Raúl Esparza in the revival of "Company"

This past season on Broadway is sadly over, but it is not one to be forgotten. It has entered a new wave of hit musicals, bringing new ideas to the stage with every performance. From the amazing new rock opera, Spring Awakening, to revivals of much-loved shows such as Stephen Sondheim's Company, this season has had so much to offer, with six new Мюзиклы at the Tony awards, five revivals, and many plays, including the fantastic, three part Coast of Utopia.

The Мюзиклы were my personal focal point this season. The first one I'd like to bring up is Company by Stephen Sondheim. It ended up winning...

I really mean it! What would Ты be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would Ты be able to do if Письмо fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would Ты do if it's illegal to do a cover of your Избранное song on YouTube? What would Ты do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would Ты do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet...
