Does anyone have thoughts on La La Land and how bringing musical theater back into the mainstream is changing the game for us college students? Not only that, but I found the struggles of Emma Stone's character very relatable and relevant to anyone who wants to make a life as an actor. Here's an article I wrote exploring these ideas: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/musical-theatre-major-la-la-land
Also, I was wondering what y'all thought about the casting of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, who are not trained singer-dancers, given that most of you/your children probably could have done it much better! Does the high level of technical proficiency seen on Broadway and in tours contrast with celebrity casting in film, such as La La Land and NBC's live musicals? Thoughts?
