@jonesvibesonly Well, no. The trailer paints the picture for what the audience will see. A critic writes a critical appraisal of the film — looking at the film in the context of itself and the context of movies in general and in the context of the culture it’s made in/for.

@SloppyJoe_y @NottBenry If you haven’t, give a listen to the cast album of the Anything Goes revival she starred in. She sounds incredible and I don’t think you’ll find so much of what you’re describing.

@seandoherty I almost walked out to this movie, it was so upsetting and disgusting.

[Brendan, a damned exasperating man @BrendanPlease]

@tmulcahey @elaine_stritch I just can’t imagine it wouldn’t eventually be done on Broadway. But who knows.

@tmulcahey @elaine_stritch Came here to say exactly this
Unlike anything ever on a Broadway stage, and that includes “Hellfire” when Hunchback is finally on Broadway

@MarkNYC64 @FeldmanAdam She is amazing in Muriel’s Wedding. Truly. But it’s worth noting she had an Oscar nomination for Sixth Sense just before she did Wild Party. She still wasn’t a big name but had achieved a lot. Wild Party out her in higher level for me but sadly she’s never done a musical since

@MarkNYC64 @FeldmanAdam I’d have given Tonys to Toni, Mandy, and Eartha. Even over the amazing people who won that year. I also would have given Tonya a nomination for it. And George C Wolfe a nom for directing. And it would have easily won Best Score and Musical. I hope this production launches it anew

Carrie Coon as Phyllis, Kelli O’Hara as Sally, in Follies, 2029 … campaign begins here and now.

@elaine_stritch One of the most joyful and impressive numbers ever on a Broadway stage

@Wisdom_HQ Wash, rinse, repeat.

@PeteAscolese It’s not like she won for plays in the 1960s… ok I’ll acknowledge her wins for a short run/difficult Sondheim show and a revival of a show very associated with its original male star doesn’t help (but does she know who Yul is?) But Donna’s done so much she would/should also know

The truth couldn’t be more clear… until Bernadette Peters goes in as Mary in @ohmaryplay, the tear in the space-time continuum can never be fixed.

[Brendan, a damned exasperating man @BrendanPlease]

@TheCinesthetic Still possibly the most brilliant end to a movie I’ve ever seen.

[Brendan, a damned exasperating man @BrendanPlease]

@PeteAscolese To leave out 1994 Carousel (not only the revival of revivals but a Tony winner for Best Revival rightfully beating the Damn Yankees revival) … is unfathomable.

@Queerty I thought this was a queer news and culture site… posting *articles* around single tik toks of random people telling hook up stories, with a written out recap of the tik tok as the article, is insane.

@petermarietoto I hope we’re cell mates

@adoraweisz @wicked_updates Well, Kristin
