That is weird. But yep, I've already reached back out to her. Haven't heard back but quite honestly she always took a day or two to get back to me anyway.

I mean, I get you, but I don't think she was exactly dying on the vine waiting to hear from me. Regardless, after all of these comments, I have reached back out to her. Waiting to see if I'll hear back.

Seriously? Have you ever seen the Walking Dead? It took three seasons for literally anything to happen on that show.

…underrated?

The rough cut is a little awkward and unpolished, but I think it's significantly better than the theatrical version.

I was on Quizbusters, a local Lansing, Michigan game show.

"ABC is already propping up SHIELD, which would never have made it past
the version season if it wasn't for the perceived cross-promotional
benefit to the MCU franchise." - this is demonstrably untrue. After Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, Agents of SHIELD was ABC's highest rated one-hour drama last year. Both Castle and…

Unfortunately, I didn't see it until he had been replaced by Robert Cuccioli. With Page and the red shoes number, I imagine the Julie Taymor version was far more cheesy (and interesting.)

You need to see more musicals, I think. Try some Sondheim.

I actually think the Broadway production of Once was pretty intimate and small-scale. I saw it several times, and it didn't work from the balcony. But it was devastating and beautiful up close. I liked it better than the movie, FWIW.

You know, I agree with a lot of what you say. I've lived in NYC for eight years now, and I've seen a lot of new shows, and I have to say, when I see a musical written by someone who is clearly ignorant of the tradition, the show is either a) terrible and amateurish or b) kind of brilliant. I definitely think Passing…

Hee hee. "The Right Brain."

I don't know if anything can "save" the movie musical, but I'm more than willing to let people try. I just saw L5Y yesterday and I thought it was pretty terrific - certainly the best movie you could possibly make of this material. I certainly enjoyed it more than any other big screen musical I've seen for a long time.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was not cheesy at all. It was deathly serious. It could've used a little more cheese, IMO. Talk about a snooze-fest.

Have you seen Passing Strange? Have you heard the cast album of The Adding Machine?

I'm down.

I think The Wild Party is great, probably LaChiusa's best for me until I saw Giant. And yes, the one-two failure of Marie Christine and Wild Party probably did have an impact. But I can't really imagine any of his subsequent shows ending up on Broadway regardless - they just don't really seem commercial. JRB has had…

Yes, JRB was lumped in with those other writers. I was just saying I wouldn't do it. Sorry if that wasn't clear - I didn't mean it to be a correction, just stating my opinion.

Welllllllllll I think you're simplifying things slightly. The only one of LaChiusa's shows to actually open on Broadway in a commercial production was The Wild Party, and that was after Marie Christine. Also, a much more audience-friendly show than Marie Christine (although, LaChiusa being LaChiusa, it wasn't super…

As long as we're going crazy, I'm going to say The Adding Machine. I would love to see a insanely stylized low-budget indie of that show. Aronofsky would have to direct it, of course.
