Just a quick question...

Which would you prefer?
L5Y Off-B'way Revival Recording OR L5Y Film Soundtrack

I'm sure one or the other would happen if JRB would produce them. I don't think both would happen unless it's a while before the movie release.
Theatre is not just some petty extracurricular activity I do in my spare time. It is my life, it is my passion, it is who I am. Nothing and no one can change that or take it away from me. All the world is MY stage.

"Is Jeremy Jordan Jewish"

What difference would it make if he was or wasn't? Hugh Jackman who is tall, handsome and couldn't be more anglo is playing a short homely Jewish man in Houdini, now that is a stretch.

"They'll probably start each song with one of them reading the newspaper so we know what date it is."

I like it!
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

That "EthniCelebs" link gives me a bit of the creeps. I mean, someone was obsessed with Jeremy Jordan enough to even think to look up his family tree?

Jeremy Jordan is Jewish through at least his maternal grandmother.

Phew! I was afraid he looked way too Unitarian for the part.

"Phew! I was afraid he looked way too Unitarian for the part."

Well, according to the people on this board, that is precisely the case. To me, Jeremy Jordan looks like a generic 1950s Jewish leading man.

The only Big Jew I want to see in this role is the adorable Noah Weisberg.
I don't think Jordan is a good choice because of his acting so far, though his material ain't been that great either
My main concern is that it will take a directing genius to make it work, John Cameron Mitchell might have had a shot.
Who is the target audience on this?

I'm cautiously optimistic, depending on the release date. Not sure about the hippie-actress look for Cathy, but this is only one shot of a film with a time span of five years. This could be a big hit as an indie summer film, like Moonrise Kingdom was last year.

Wow, JJ looks surprisingly attractive and sexy in those Daily Mail photos. He's never done it for me before (I too thought he looked like a neanderthal and thuggish), but I may just have been sold.

I live on 4th street (Where NYTW is) it was fun watching him film SMASH and seeing his sexy ass for like 3 weeks straight right outside my window. The filming was a pain in the ass, but seeing him almost made up for it.

Apparently they are filming at 43rd -45th and 8th Ave today..........

Sorry,perhaps I should have started a new thread for the filming photos? Thought i was doing the right thing just bumping up the existing discussion of the movie..

Is this getting a theatrical release or a premium cable release?

I have a feeling we're going to be pleasantly surprised by this.

They're both beautiful.

I'm pretty sure this is aiming for an "indie" theatrical release. Does anyone know if it will be sung-through or if there is a spoken script?
