Jessica and I saw Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika tonight. I enjoyed it more than Millennium Approaches, partially because I think my expectations were lowered and partially because I think the characters are more enriched in the second part. I think Perestroika is a somewhat messier, or maybe riskier, play but it's just so glorious to see ( Read more... )

Rumor has it The Great Gatsby is getting a new film adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby (of course), Amanda Seyfried as Daisy and Tobey Maguire as Nick. Baz Luhrmann is reportedly considering directing it ( Read more... )

*I want Andy Karl to play this part.

We still haven't cast Corey. I want Morgan Weed to play Debra.

Christie and I saw Next to Normal tonight! Can't believe I haven't seen the show in nearly eight months. This year is going by really fast. We actually both won lotto even though there was a pretty sizable crowd. I was a little happy to say I didn't need my tickets because I knew the whole crowd would cheer. I heard they were selling lotto loser ( Read more... )

Owen Gleiberman recently wrote on PopWatch that Zac Efron made a huge mistake pulling out of Footloose because he should be playing to his strengths, namely musicals. I of course agree (although I think Zefron could be great in non-musical comedies as well). He's perfect for Ren McCormack in every respect. The character is actually a bit of a bad ( Read more... )

I saw The Winter's Tale in the Park tonight. Aside from the woman behind me who kept FLICKING MY HAIR, it was quite lovely! Shakespeare in the Park is so different from other theatre. Everything about it so relaxed. You can eat and drink in your seat, you can see the entire audience for the first quarter of the show... It's like everyone sort of ( Read more... )

Some of these guys are busy, some are too famous, some don't seem quite right (usually because they're not funny enough), but damn, I'm posting them all just in case some idea start to percolate. Because we can't let Ace Young get this part. That's, like, my second biggest fear. Next to the fear that Ben Walker is really not doing this for sure ( Read more... )

Zachary Quinto is playing Louis in Angels in America! Yea! Billy Porter is playing Belize. He's annoying, but right for that part. The article also says Christian Borle is in talks to play Prior. I like Christian Borle, but he is no Justin Kirk, Dallas Roberts, Lee Pace, Christian Camargo... Prior is the role of a lifetime and he wouldn't be on my ( Read more... )

Zac Efron as Jack Kelly
Anton Yelchin as David Jacobs
David Bologna as Spot
Aaron Simon Gross as Racetrack
Eamon Foley as Crutchy

Damn I really tried to get some Billy Elliots in there. Maybe David Alvarez could play the Aaron Lohr part.

LET'S DO THIS.

Angels in America is coming back to the New York stage, yea! I can't remember anyone I dream-cast in these plays, boo! Here's a list that I will tag for posterity. Leaving this public in case any people with power are reading ( Read more... )
