Joseph is now off-line, but when last I checked, it had had over 2.1 million views. One Man, Two Guvnors is at about 1.9 million as I post this (7:30 London time on 5 April)

Streaming of Wild is available through Sunday, April 5 on Hampstead site. I just watched it and I actually liked it up to the last ten minutes - which were likely more impressive in the theatre than on a computer screen.

Quite a few Olivier nominations! Five. Atwell, revival, set, lighting, sound.

New York Times article on the origins of the show with Marlow and Moss original notes, text messages, two early versions of "No Way" sung by Marlow, etc. I know y'all know the basic story, but there's a lot of stuff in here that I didn't know! www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/theater/six-broadway.html

Are the projections a major part of it or not Not really. They were all over the walls too at the Donmar, so you won't miss anything. That's odd. I didn't say or post that! That was theatre241. I have no idea how the quote function made that change!

@#@#$%^ Per the Garrick website, Ms. Craig leaves at the end of May, and I don't get to the UK until the end of June.
Sigh. Still planning on booking this, once I know the dates of our travel.
Garrick Website says:
Please note that:
From 30 March Rosalie Craig will not perform the role of Gabby/Bobbi on Monday evenings.
Theo James, Rosalie Craig and Rob Houchen will be appearing until 30th May.
Nicola Roberts and Vanessa Williams will be appearing until 25th July.

Just my opinion, but "this needs work" - You're Nothing Without Me.

Thanks. I found a review of the San Diego version: San Diego SammyAdmiration for the attempt - not the execution.....

More here and distinguishing this from One Love and an even earlier iteration. NYTimes Article I'm not sure what to make of the claim that this is not a jukebox musical, unless they are distinguishing jukebox musical (e.g. Mamma Mia, &Juliet) from a biomusical (Tina, Beautiful, Jersey Boys)

It's also extremely disrespectful to the people who actually did the effects work who were just creating someone else's terrible idea... The Visual Effects Society was not amused. VES Responds "Last night, in presenting the Academy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects, the producers chose to make visual effects the punchline, and suggested that bad VFX were to blame for the poor performance of the movie CATS. The best visual effects in the world will not compensate for a story told badly."

Isn't this the moment in the show where Doc Brown is realising his invention "works"? I don't remember Doc being young at that moment in the film. Then you remember incorrectly! The whole scene where Doc shouts “It works! It works! I finally invent something that works!” Takes place in 1955, where Young Doc sees the time machine (and Marty shows him the Flux Capacitor) for the first time and realises that one day he will invent something that works. So it’s true to the source material that he’s played young at this point. correct!

The show's twitter posted a clip of "It Works" in rehearsal. Does not seem like "It Works" yet... Your views may differ (and of course allowances for rehearsal, sound recording capability - but then the show itself put this out to entice ticket purchases) It Works ... or does it?

And you knew it was coming - the midnight screening cult of Cats - being advertised as Rowdy Cats. Rowdy Cats in LA and NYC

You just need to go to the cinema - wait for the film to start - and then stand up and shout "THIS IS A MUSICAL???" and walk out. This semi-actually happened to me at the film version of Sweeney Todd. My daughter and I were in the cinema - and I joked with her about doing it since the ad campaign basically downplayed it was a musical - and the film started, and the singing started and then these six university students started muttering and verbally questioning each other and then they took out their phones and looked at their phones and then they left!
