I commented in another thread that S3 may hold that title.

Even the early boots deliver on entertainment value and/or meaningful relationships. The only potential duds in that cast are Michael & Kathy and Heather & Eve. At least in my opinion.

Would love to hear your guys' thoughts.

So I just finished rewatching "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story", which is one of my favorite comedies. I think it takes the piss out of the music biopic so well. And it got me thinking.

With the current state of The Great White Way, it seems like the perfect time for "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Musical". Take the piss out of lazy jukebox musicals just as much.

Brian D'Arcy James would be perfect to play Dewey Cox, and maybe John C. Reilly would take over later into the run. And maybe the Tony voters would actually acknowledge and appreciate satire. Best Book potential?

What are y'all's thoughts?

Hey y'all!

At the end of this past January, I spent a long weekend in New York and saw 5 shows in 3 days (thanks TodayTix!).

  • Play That Goes Wrong (loved!)
  • Chicago (didn't love...)
  • Once On This Island (beautiful!)
  • Latin History For Morons (hilarious and insightful)
  • Kinky Boots (fabulous!)

I'm planning to go to again about the same time next month, and I have three of my five slots planned out.

  • True West (one of my favorite plays of all time PLUS Ethan Hawke)
  • The Waverly Gallery (got tickets for the final performance. my Grandad had Alzheimer's.)
  • Pretty Woman (know it's not high art, but I adore the movie)

As a lurker/occasional poster, I figured this would be a good place

The acting edition of Significant Other was finally released by Sam French a few weeks, and so I ordered a copy immediately.

I just finished rereading it for the third time, and I keep falling in love with the show again and again. It's by far the best straight play (no pun intended) I've seen on Broadway. Glad that Lindsey got her Tony for Carousel this year, but she totally deserved one for Significant Other. Likewise for Gideon, Sas, and Joshua Harmon.

I know it had such a tragically short run, but is anyone else obsessed with the show like I am?

I just finished reading Marc Eliot's biography of Jimmy Stewart, and I'm surprised there hasn't been a movie made of Jimmy's story yet.

I know biopics are kind of a tired genre. But even if the movie just focuses on the making of It's A Wonderful Life, it'd be an incredibly engrossing film. A former Hollywood heartthrob turned war hero who is struggling to find his place in his former home post-war. Add in the PTSD aspect, I think it'd be great with the right creative team. Jimmy pretty much was George Bailey, in an emotional sense, during filming.

Jimmy Stewart gave so many memorable performances under so many legendary directors, I just feel like his story deserves the big screen treatme

With everything that went down in the SJ world, I'm not sure if a Fan Fight tournament or something similar could happen. I know that the SJ crew peruses this sub sometimes.

So to them, would this be a possibility down the road? To fans here, would that be something you'd be interested in?

I got a Hulu account just so I could rewatch old Amazing Race seasons, because CBS All Access took them all down for some odd reason.

Anyway. I started with Season 4 because it was the first season I watched as a kid. I binged it in like two or three days and loved it, so I figured I'd move on to Season 5.

I've only gotten through three episodes. It's a pretty good cast. I love Colin & Christie, Chip & Kim, Jim & Marsha, and the Bowling Moms. But there are two that make it hard to keep going.

Charla & Mirna and Marshall & Lance.

I remember disliking both teams at the time, but I didn't remember them being this insufferable. I never understood how Charla & Mirna be

I was under the impression that Jacob had to give up vote at the next Tribal to play the Ghost Island guessing game. But when they went to the next Tribal, he voted for Michael. Did I miss something?

The guitar at the beginning of "If I Could Tell Her" sounds a lot like "The Campfire Song Song" from that episode of SpongeBob.

Shitpost, I know. But I just wanted to point this out.

It's still my favorite season of all time. That's not even as an early season homer. I truly believe there are plenty of heroes and plenty of villains.

It comes down to two teams at the end, but there's still so much drama and tension.

Curious to see what this sub thinks!

I'm planning a trip to NYC for next month, and I really want to see Junk. The problem is, I won't be able to make it up before the 7th.

I know there's no real surefire answer, but does anyone know if an extension might be a possibility? I don't know how soon My Fair Lady is coming in afterwards...

Sorry if this topic has come up recently, but I've been jamming out to my showtunes playlist lately. There are two revivals I'd pay top dollar to see.

  1. A revival of Urinetown starring Chris Pratt as Officer Lockstock.
  2. A star studded revival of Spelling Bee with Andrew Rannells and Eva Noblezada as Chip Tolentino and Marcy Park.

What are your dream revival casts?
