Theatre Gossip #351 "Caroline or Change the actress playing Bobbi in Company before it comes to Broadway" Edition

Largely rave reviews for "Oklahoma!," of course, including from Ben Brantley. But Rex Reed offers the Datalounge perspective.

the search feature for "theatre gossip #351" brings up NOTHING

And yet there are THREE 351 entries now.

You have to search by date, and then look carefully at the results to find the right thread.

I don't suppose we could all agree on one thread and jettison the other two...?

Just when it seemed juggling two threads was too much we've got this.

The new search function sucks donkey dick.

Agreed. What a disaster.

I sometimes have better luck using Google instead of the new search function, but even that brought up only this thread, not the other two.

Hillbilly Oklahoma. Oh dear.

I started this thread and of the three, mine was the 2nd thread. I searched several times and several different ways and nothing came up. It's fine to kill this one.

We don't know how to actually kill threads.

If it drops into obscurity today, it will just get picked up at some random time in the future.

The best we can hope for is that one of these does turn into something interesting.

Maybe we could make this the West End thread and start by discussing the awards?

"The best we can hope for is that one of these does turn into something interesting."

So what does everyone think of circumcision?

West End?

Rex Reed is a Living National Treasure.

I cannot find the other two current threads, no matter how I search. Very annoying.

Because so many Broadway threads I put this one here, too. Patti’s cry Jonathan’s bf and Being Alive

oh please tell me folks aren't going to post in triplicate on all three 351 threads

Like R16, this is the only one of the three I've been able to find.

There's also this one....

Hmmph, if people are gonna post in the other thread that was late to the party, then they can post in THIS one!

Was this one first or second?

Don't worry. It wont actually die. It wil crop up over and over and over again for weeks.

This one was 2nd. The Oklahoma one was third but it seems to be the one that's taken off.

We shall have 1800 posts

This is randomly adorable. 1989!

Eggs.....

I had no idea bootlegs were even a possibility for shows from the 70s.

Shocked he is still alive.

WHY is he?

R27 That looks like an interesting show! What is it??

R29

I don't know.

But imagine if we could recast it in our minds and discuss our choices amongst ourselves?

It's called High School Musical, r29.

R31 lol. The indian headress...so much to unpack.

Why aren't we finishing this one up, too?

If someone discovers a Theatre Gossip #352 (I tried to find it but no luck) would you please post a link?

Found it!

so are we finishing this or going straight to 352? I do hate following 2 threads

It looks like we're going straight to 352. I'm with r36: Can we please just let this thread die?

No one asked you

Forget this fourth 351, time to let that number go. On to #353

#352 - March to the Tonys went to shit very fast.

You didn't enjoy all those hilarious proposals for non-traditional casting?

We saw Patti L. in Company in London last fall. When it comes to Broadway, go! It is fabulous!

It was as if Cackle Cackle had discovered reddit and was trying out all the new lingo.

Is there are thread #358 or are we reverting to this old thing?
