...twomore seasons? I'll could be happy with that, but I'm only reading news about S2 so far.


Maybe I'll just read the books instead."

The cast is contracted for 3 seasons if they g

If you can honestly look anybody in the eye and tell them that you earnestly believe Kristin Chenoweth knew who Charlie Kirk was before all of this, you're already in your ownsocial-media made psychosis. The dude was most famous for being a Jubilee commentator troll. The far right has pushed this narrative that he was much more famous and influential before he was shot, and you bought into it. You're quite literally using far right talking points t

FolliesCabaret said: "“We wanted to examine the cost to a person and a society who value money and fame and acquisitiveness above all else, and we think it’s an important and timely subject,” he said. “If people saw the show and thought, ‘Well, they just didn’t do it well,’ fair enough. But this thought that we were somehow trying to celebrate or glorify billionaires is like saying ‘Sweeney Todd’ is glorifying cannibalism —

joevitus said: "I was fine with her vocals, too, but it isn't exactly out of place to criticize a non-singer being given a singing role in a musical. The essential argument "Well, Chu obviously wanted her" doesn't really address the issue.I find her voicemore frustrating on the soundrack recording than while watching the movie, for obvious reasons. Sometimes I wish producers would embrace dubbing again. Felt the same way about James Corden in Into the Woods.&qu

shomeika said: "So, let's say that the lead actress of an expensive musical ran their mouth - or posted crap on twitter - that offended the fan base of a show - is there ever any legal repercussion for this?

Do actors not sign a contract in regards of what to say and what not to say? I think the horrid reviews coupled with someone's running of their mouth hurt this show. Charlie Kirk is a hatemonger, homophobe, racist, and a horrible person. Do actors ever get in t

binau said: "Of course it’s super cringe when artists try to blame anyone except themselves for their own failures, but I do think it’s a bit revisionist for people to suddenly claim Michael Arden is a bad director. Between once on this island, parade, maybe happy ending etc. lightning doesn’t strike 3 times. Everyone has their failures and not all directors can produce new work but that doesn’t make them bad.

Also, no way did QoV get hatred it was

corninthesky said: "I mean can you all take your victory lap now?

It is no secret I liked the show (and obviously am in the small, small minority on that), but do we have to keep dancing on the grave?

I feel like this entire thread proves the entire point of Arden’s post (as well as others on the cast/creative team)."

They were telling the story of a delusional woman's insistence on building a house and it didn't work and then the

John Adams said: "TheatreFan4 said: "It's literally a non-issue. [...] Nothing changes."

I disagree.

Those patrons you mention that "just absolutely needed to read their understudy slip (or the playbill)" had those objects in their lap, so the phone was projecting its light downward. Now that information will be on the screen itself, so the phone will be casting light upward. You don't think that won't be mor

John Adams said: "Zeppie2022 said: "I don't see why anybody would be upset about this going away."

That's not what's at issue.

The idea is a good and useful one, but it's antithetical to the issue of cell phone use inside the theater that's been repeatedly discussed and complained about as problematic, in numerous threads, here.

Once an audience is required to bring their phone into the theater, how

SteveSanders said: "I've seen comedians say they use the Yondr pouches so they can work out new material without it being released to the world in unfinished form that likely won't represent the final product."

It's comedians with a high level of self-importance who don't want to ever see themselves bomb with bad material who have the money and clout to make such demands. Also happens with a lot of comedians who have already been shunned. Actual

Matt Rogers said: "
That’s great. Now they can do away with the Yondr pouches so people can see who’s in the show they’re about to watch."

Personally, I find Yondr pouches to be more annoying and obnoxious than any sort of audience behavior I've ever witnessed. Maybe I'm easier to focus on whats on stage versus whats happening in the audience, but I feel unless there's something on stage that needs to be concealed (like overt nudity

John Adams said: "TheatreFan4 said: "I mean, its pretty simple. You use the pouches then you need to use the slips. Or use the Board and pre-show announcement."

Simple for whom? "I mean", it's not.

It's antithetical.

Once an audience is required to bring their phone into the theater, how does management expect to prevent them from using it for all those "unacceptable" behaviors?

Please name anyone who still has a home printer for casual use."

Y'all cant steal a print while you're at work? I just feel like... you want to live in the modern age and not need a home printer, but force shows to operate in the stone age to make you happy. I'm sure ushers are more than happy to stop having
