| I do think Gaga is an incredible live performer in her medium - pop music. I also rather enjoyed her performance in A Star is Born. This got me thinking about Gaga on Broadway and really hoping that, at some point, she would consider playing Hedwig. I think she would be an epic Hedwig. |

| She did musicals a ton as a kid, she got into CAP21 but dropped out. She also acted in a number of Off Off Broadway and festival shows before focusing on music. | |

| I liked that live performance as well but part of what I liked about it was that it was a bit rough around the edges in terms of style but also in pitch. A lot of Gaga's charm rests on the feeling that there's a bit of an amateur about her but she's doing it anyway. That doesn't seem very Broadway to me, at least not in this day and age. | |

| Regardless of style or talent level, Lady Gaga would be announced for a Broadway show tomorrow if she were interested enough to do one, just based on her name value and fan base. I hope she does decide to do a Broadway show someday, but I cannot imagine that that day will be any time soon since she's been launched as a movie star and still had her music career to keep up. I just cannot see her pressing pause on any of that to commit 6 months to a year to Broadway. She'll come to Broadway at some point in future when things in music and movies have slowed a bit for her or when she's genuinely looking for a new challenge enough to take the time to do it. Bette Midler did not come back to Broadway in the 1980's when she was a hot movie/pop star. She was far too busy making too much money doing those things. |

| I have been fantasizing about a revival of “Song & Dance” starring Lady Gaga and choreographed by Justin Peck. | |

| If I was guiding Lady Gaga's career, I would have her play a Broadway house for a six week run similar to the way Liza Minnelli (Winter Garden) and Bette Midler (Palace) did in 1973 What is so refreshing about LG, is that she comes across as such a nice person (Bradley Cooper,too) unlike the "stars" of today who imo are like "nah,nah,...nah-nah I'm a star" United Artists (MGM) have been threatening to bring "New York, New York" to the stage Dream casting would be Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper - of course to off-set ticket prices they may have to stream (yes, I'm keeping up with the times)on closing night But before all this, how about Stephen writing something for her in his "Bunuel" musical ? |

| For all of you sitting on your couch, this is hard work. Well, if it wasn’t for us sitting on our couch watching your stuff, you wouldn’t have an audience and wouldn’t get paid. She is driven enough to get an egot. She’s half way there. |

| What if Sondheim said that what he does is hard work? After all, if it weren't for us sitting in a theatre watching his stuff, he wouldn't have an audience either... | |

| I am sorry that her admittedly awkward beginning put you off her speech. The message i heard was this is hard work but if you have a dream, keep at that work and don't get discouraged by the work or by naysayers and you too can be sitting her instead of at home but it is not going to come easily to you. No one is going to walk up to you on that sofa and hand you this. I do not think she was speaking to the audience of spectators but to those who have a dream. | |

| She certainly had her share of naysayers. When she was in college, playing in piano bars and trying to get started, some of her classmates created a Facebook page, "You'll Never Be Famous, Stefani Germanotti"-- featuring cruel taunts, nasty comments, and photos of flyers advertising her gigs stomped on with dirty boots. I can't understand mindsets like that. I knew people in college and grad school that I didn't like and/or whose skills I questioned, but I kept my opinions private and would never publicly crush someone's dreams, no matter how much I disliked him or her.
