sudshr47 December 26, 2018

Cliff Bleszinksi, the creator of action video game series Gears of War, is helping to bring a musical called Hadestown to Broadway.

Yes, that is a weird collection of words, and it honestly might sound like it’s made up, but it’s real, we promise.

NEWS!

I’m officially co-producing this show.

That’s my next gig!

(Crazy, eh?!)

It’s on Spotify, give it a go. It’s fantastic! https://t.co/Ew7Tr1QsHA

Broadway Kanye West Musical Musicals Theater

Kanye West called out on Twitter for being on his phone during Broadway performance

sudshr47 December 4, 2018

Being on your phone during a stage production is considered pretty rude, especially if it’s opening night, and even if you’re Kanye West.

The artist was called out on Twitter by one of the stars of Cher-inspired musical The Cher Show, Jarrod Spector, for spending time on his phone during Monday’s opening night performance.

West was attending the show with his wife, Kim Kardashian West, a couple that weren’t ever going to blend in with the crowd — or the cast.

“If you look up from your cell phone you’ll see we’re doing a show up here,” tweeted Spector, who plays Sonny Bono, while the performance was underway. Read more…

Broadway Cher Entertainment Music Musicals

Should you believe in ‘The Cher Show’ on Broadway?

sudshr47 December 4, 2018

She’s a one-name icon, so it feels right that it would take three people to bring her to life eight times a week.

The Cher Show, which just opened on Broadway, gives Cher the musical treatment — which in theory should be a perfect marriage for the campy, vampy icon.

The show is a pretty standard biopic/jukebox musical, tracing the life, loves, and dresses of Cherilyn Sarkisian. And while it doesn’t hit the highs of all-timers like Jersey Boys or Beautiful — stories that have larger themes than just “here are the songs of the artist you love,” fans of the singer should have a good time reminding themselves throughout this highlights reel why she is the ultimate survivor.

Please enjoy Ariana Grande belting a song from ‘Wicked’ with perfect green makeup

sudshr47 October 30, 2018

It’s no secret Ariana Grande is wickedly talented, just like Idina Menzel.

The pop star swung by NBC’s A Very Wicked Halloween Monday night, celebrating 15 years of Wicked on Broadway (which doubled as drumming up some excitement for the long-in-the-works movie adaptation).

Grande — donning a green bustier and some seriously shimmery green makeup — performed “The Wizard and I,” following a sweet intro from original co-stars Kristin Chenoweth and Menzel.

One vision almost like a prophecy? Though this tune is sung by the character Elphaba, expect Grande, with her huge fan base and professed love of the musical, to be on the shortlist for Glinda once casting for the film finally rolls around. Read more…

The Broadway version of ‘Frozen’s ‘Let It Go’ is better than the movie version

sudshr47 May 11, 2018

It may be sacrilegious to say it, but here it goes: The Broadway version of “Let It Go” is better than the movie version.

Entertainment Les Miserables Musicals Russell Crowe Watercooler

Random family does better rendition of ‘Les Mis’ than the 2012 movie cast

sudshr47 April 8, 2018

Most Broadway fans are guilty of having put on a private performance or two of Les Miserables. But I bet it didn’t sound nearly as professional as the LeBaron family’s near-perfect rendition of “One Day More.”

The Utah family from Fruit Heights took on the classic musical’s climactic number on Easter Sunday, and their performance sparked the fire of the French revolution in millions on the internet.

“Anyone looking to do Les Miserables for their next show? Better yet…anyone looking for an entire cast?” wrote Jordon LeBaron in the Facebook post.

For fans of the musical, his brother Landon’s killer performance as Javert is almost enough to help us forget the brutal massacre that was Russell Crowe’s attempt at the role in the 2012 movie. Read more…
