The early response really has been RAPTUROUS

 

[GNLs We Have Heard on High]

Oscar winner Ariana Grande was not something I saw in the tea-leaves.

 

[Lucille]

Hard to call it a masterpiece when it was entirely lit by potatoes.

 

[Gold Funkincense & Myrrh]

YAY

 

[I bELLIEve In Christmas (The Tweenies)]

First IMAX screening now booked!

The rich and storied tradition of Broadway producing the most unhinged egos in showbiz continues apace.

Is she really as unlikable as these press snippets make her appear?

 

[I bELLIEve In Christmas (The Tweenies)]

She’s just not my Elphaba

Hoping for the best.

She's got a great voice for sure, but I've never enjoyed her in anything since I first saw her in the dreadful "I Can't Sing!" flop X Factor spoof musical at the Palladium.

Simon Lipkin grabbed me by the face with his puppet dog during that show, so maybe I'm tarring her with RAGE I felt during that evening

Ariana is definitely gaining awards momentum at the moment and putting her in Supporting Actress will benefit her as it's less crowded. She could end up doing a Zeta Jones or Jennifer Hudson if she's very lucky.

Best Actress is looking quite stacked, so the reviews and buzz will have to be stellar for Cynth to be joining her.

I first saw him in Rock of Ages and have seen him in 3 or 4 other things since. He’s about to play Fagin in the new transfer of Oliver!

I can't stand Oliver!, so I was going to be keeping well clear of that anyway. Thanks for the added warning though

I’m going for Aaron Sidwell as Sykes!

I’m going for Aaron Sidwell as Sykes!

I saw him in Grey Gardens at the Southwark Playhouse and American Idiot and he was great!

He should make a good Bill, though it's a pretty small part (but with a massive presence).

 

[Gold Funkincense & Myrrh]

Ariana's best bet is to do a Madonna as she's surely a shoe-in for the Globes. But I think she could go one better and get an Oscar nom even if she likely won't win. I agree the supporting category is better for her.

Is there a precedent for going for Oscar supporting and Globes lead for the same role....??

 

[I bELLIEve In Christmas (The Tweenies)]

And what happens with Part 2? Do they all get another shot the next year? Any new songs will also be in Part 2, so I expect that might be the one they focus on, as they’ll all have a chance to perform at the ceremony too.

 

[Christian]

For performance and crafts, whatever is on screen in Part 1 will be enough.

For anything above the line other than acting, I imagine they'll wait for Part 2.

 

[GNLs We Have Heard on High]

For lighting, they needn't bother.

 

[Christian]

It's got the same cinematographer as Tick Tick Boom and In The Heights. I didn't really like the visuals in either, so that tracks!

Presumably they’re all wearing high heels. Idina is only 5’4”. How SHORT are the rest of them?

 

[Christian]

Kristin is absolutely tiny - below 5 ft I think.

Just seeing it written down like that it's going to be SO HARD to listen to that and not immediately to head to Spotify, find the soundtrack and skip straight to Thank Goodness.

Hmm. Well it’d be rude not to pay a visit. I hope the studio is paying for this and not my council tax! They’re always claiming poverty for why they leave so many abandoned council owned buildings empty for decades.

Other than 'an awfully long way to go', and a 'who', that's exactly the same cadence and phrasing as Kristin Chenoweth, isn't it? What a relief.

 

[I bELLIEve In Christmas (The Tweenies)]

She’s certainly quite the talented impersonator, as showcased on SNL with many people!

 

[Gold Funkincense & Myrrh]

I'm already bored of all the marketing- can we get some REVIEWS please

Why do I feel like this film is going to be amazing and the critics will love it and it will win lots of awards and be hugely successful, but be completely overshadowed because the fanz will inevitably question the way Cynthia sings certain lines and she's going to have an absolute meltdown about it...
