Patty & Emily discuss Folio Group, their new venture with other creators of theatrical media! They also discuss Cabin in the Sky, Frozen coming to Broadway, and Wicked becoming the 10th longest running Broadway show. There are also tangents on the Gilmore Girls revival, since Sutton Foster will be appearing, and Beyoncé because Beyoncé. And they say goodbye to Laura Benanti’s Twitter for now!

Comedy and Opinions from Two Broadway Fans!
I decided to skip Cabin in the Sky. I heard they took out the “fried chicken” line. I think it’s a Lady Be Good situation where there would have been things I enjoyed but I’m comfortable having skipped it.
I liked Frozen when it came out but I recognize that it’s far from perfect. I hope they’re not afraid of making changes when it comes to the stage production. Also, someone suggested Betsy Wolfe as Elsa… YES.
Could Lin-Manuel Miranda write a role for Beyonce in an original musical? I agree she might be too famous for Broadway though. There couldn’t be stage doors. There just couldn’t. I’m just imagining all the things I hate… entrance applause, cheering over jokes and high notes, standing ovations… It could be a concert/one-woman show kind of thing like there used to be with Judy Garland and Barry Manilow.
