Con esto cierro las lecturas sobre *La Cage aux folles*. Este libro de @ryan__donovan es de 2023, así que creo que he hecho mis deberes (casi arqueológicos) buscando lo publicado sobre el musical.
Did you know musical theatre composer San Bao wrote the first Chinese musical, "The New Legend of the White Snake," in 1997/98? Find out more in the introduction to the "What" section of #RCMT (and see which US musicals brought the form to his attention.)
Ready to join the Astors at Tony Pastor's? Jennifer C.H. J. Wilson examines how NYC became the center of US American musical theatre before Broadway was Broadway in her contribution to #RCMT
Ever find yourself asking, "what's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening" at a show? Virginia Anderson is here to tell you it's the unacknowledged labor of sound and projection design in #RCMT Ch. 17, which draws from a fantastic interview with designer Wendall K. Harrington!
"I Go to Rio" is not just a song from "The Boy From Oz"--it's where musicals go! In Ch. 24 of #RCMT, Alex Bádue takes readers to an epicenter of musicals in Brazil and notes how a "Paris-Lisbon-Rio theatrical chain transformed Rio's musical theatre scene" in the 19th c.
What makes a show "the name on everybody's lips?" Find out how, in 1907, "The Merry Widow" became a transnational hit in #RCMT Ch. 22 featuring some amazing archival finds by @lauraemacdonald--and how producers around the world still rely on these very same marketing strategies
Trying to squeeze in one last summer read? @DukeAlumni's Lifelong Learning team asked these Trinity authors about their most recent works, starting with @Duke_English Emerita @ProfHolloway's Harlem-based "whodunit" novels. (🧵1/4) youtu.be/pBwVkxBNb4w
We love the title of Christine Snyder's chapter on offstage labor in #RCMT! She draws our attention to the unseen work that makes what audiences see possible. And she should know--Snyder has worked front-of-house on Broadway for many years in addition to being a scholar!
It seems obvious, but again: Studios and streamers can afford to pay writers and actors fairly. Making less of a profit--if that even happens--is not the same as losing money. And ignoring that while blithely allowing your workers to suffer is morally and personally repugnant.

Do you stan Jeanine Tesori? Sing Trude Rittman's praises? @mrstandler and Arianne J. Quinn challenge how "creative work by women has often been assigned less value, assessed less positively, and garnered less attention and recognition" in #RCMT Ch 12.

What an unbelievable missed opportunity not putting this in the Booth.
Great news! The runaway hit of the season—Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary!—is moving to Broadway this summer. Starts June 26, opens July 11. My rave review is here. timeout.com/newyork/theate…
Anyone with an opinion about reviews needs to go sit in a corner and read the original Broadway reviews for Wicked and then read about the production’s financials.

Sofia Coppola notes that Marie Antoinette was a "flop," but what's galling is how many critics, at the time, were utterly oblivious to its originality, insight, and style—and even condescendingly hostile to the film and to her. Happens with so many great films and filmmakers...
I don't know what's more annoying -- the university who just sent me a rejection email for a job I applied to last hiring cycle but I never got an interview, or the university that brought me to a 3-day campus visit and never had the decency to tell me they hired someone else.
