It's an interesting article though the headline is a bit of a misnomer, as some of these shows were actually hits in their original runs (ie shows which recouped their investments), which went on to become bigger hits when revived, or flops (ie shows which lost money for their investors) which went on to become smaller flops.
Thank you for pointing this out!
Also,
(“Flop” is a technical term for a show with a relatively short run that doesn’t make its investment back—and not necessarily meant as a reflection of the artistry of a given work.)
I honestly had no idea, I thought it also got used as "shows that were bad" at least colloquially.
This show sounds so interesting, I love period drama. I also don't keep up with entertainment news outside of m/Musicals, so thank you for bringing to my attention!
(Back to kbin.cafe… the instance I ran away to hasn't worked for a couple days.)
It doesn’t have one. Back when I was originally signing up on kbin.social, I had this exact issue with email addresses generated on throwawaymail.com (although the actual email never is address@throwawaymail.com, but address@someurl.com) and it’s happening again. Maybe kbin has some kind of spam filter that throws away these emails?
I just used a throwaway email address to sign up under a different username than my current one, and I sadly still have not received the verification email.
Tried to sign up, didn’t realize I had to give you a real email so I could verify myself. I’m always very wary of giving out my true email, because I’m scared of emails leaking and then using the email to tie my account here to other accounts I have that use the same email.
I also can’t sign up again with the same account name. Can anything be done on your end or do I just have to give up and try again with a new username?
Also, I was going to try again with a throwaway email address. Is that going to be autorejected internally, so I get stuck in the same situation of locking myself out of a username because the account is created even if it’s unverified and thus unusable?
Thanks for the correction! In that case, I’ll probably hop on to yours or kbin.run.
Not sure why you being a member of the kbin core development team is something worth a disclaimer, but thanks for the work you do. I definitely recognized your name—I often check out the codeberg even if I don’t really do anything with it.
I’m still new enough I can’t make needle recommendations, but my first project was a garter stitch scarf. 10 stitches on size 13 needles… yeah… that wasn’t much of a scarf.
when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.
Similar experience to you with learning how to crochet. Right now all I can do is a chain stitch. And nothing else. No adding any height to the chain, just making a single long chain.
Not sure how much of this is a real trend and how much of it is just me pattern-matching, but everyone I know has also been getting sick. And exactly 1/5 of the actors in the show I’m doing now got COVID (although thankfully they got better by tech week).
Wasn’t sure why this musical specifically was getting a day. There have been other, more long-running shows that don’t have a day as far as I know. Then I read the article.
WICKED is seen by more people each week than any other show, making it Broadway’s most popular musical, partially due to the fact that the Gershwin Theatre is the biggest theatre on Broadway. The theatre is a full city block with 1,926 seats!
If they don’t mean just the most popular musical running now, but the most popular musical period, yeah, makes sense this one is getting a day.
Some of the songs were enjoyable, but the forced stars motif that’s only introduced at the end and the way the musical seemed to beat you over the head with its message in contrast to how the movie did it nice and subtly? The dramatic Bond villain songs for Regina when she was less upfront FUCK YOU BITCH and more sneaky about her cruelty?
I don’t want to see the movie adaptation of the musical. Just stick to the original movie.
But it’s a good thing that proshots are becoming more prevalent, this is great for making theatre more accessible to people who don’t live near too many performing arts venues and people who don’t have the money to afford this tickets.
I thought I had a friendly tone and was being nice. I really did not intend to come off as aggressive. Rereading this I see how it can come off sarcastic and condescending instead of the friendly informational tone I was going for. Sorry.
