Dear Broadway Casting Gods,

There is a Tony-winning actress who would be perfect to play Mrs. Brown in Paddington, and I am crossing every finger and toe that she gets it.

I don't want to say her name just yet because I'm not SweatyOrcacle & I don't want to jinx anything.

[OnStage Blog @OnstageBlog]

@JoshuaSimonSays No but those are good candidates too!

Binge watching old Law & Order episode and came across one where Elaine Stritch is the defense attorney opposite Jerry Orbach.

I can only image the fun those two had behind the scenes. ❤️

Which makes me wonder why they are reacting to our post……

Can we OFFICIALLY admit that Madonna’s version of EVITA was FAR BETTER than that of screaming crocodile-faced Patti Lupone’s?

I actually love this.

In 6th grade, my music teacher told me they couldn't wait for me to listen to my first Sondheim show because of what I would discover.

She's now (or at least should) go watch his work and discover some of the best acting of his generation.

There is a Reddit post about a Spring Awakening production featuring a 15-year-old Melchior opposite a 21-year-old Wendla.

Let me say this plainly - A minor should not be cast opposite an adult in a way that requires them to play intimate scenes together. Ever.
