I have autism spectrum disorder, so I do not understand so many things smarter, neurotypical people take for granted, but even if that wasn’t the case, I thought the story was saying if Richard was given the chance, he would be the kind to free slaves, including Rail? The time setting and whether slavery was abolished by then seemed undefined, but again, maybe I missed something. The other possibility is the show was say...

It wouldn't suprise me if Hudes does - especially if a stronger director joins for a stronger revival. Welcome to the business."You mean the 70 year old musical whose creative team has been collectively dead for 30 years?

CoffeeBreak said: "No one said it should be . No need to "overhaul" anything. But with a living playwright, these things are possible for tweaks or new variations (the movie is proof of that). There is frankly, no reason not to take a second look with a revival (there is a reason it won for music, choreography, musical and not book)- and hopefully some stronger creatives to make that happen."You sound ridiculous.

CoffeeBreak said: "You did. I like the show - and since have seen it - and feel similar. So few Latino musicals exist - they need the hands hands on deck. You're welcome."And not every latin show has to be the paragon of perfection. I think its fine to think this production could use better direction/choreo, but trying to say they should overhaul the book is so silly. This is a wildly successful musical that's been getting performed for 2 decades. Is the book the weakest part of it? YES! That...

I also think she reads a bit young (she’s the perfect age for it, but she looks a fair bit younger than she is IMO) "Claudia is supposed to be late 60s/early 70s. Natalie is like 57.

The choreo does seem to be a bit lacking... not sure why they went for that weird Pippin/Magic to Do outstretched arms thing at the end of the title song...

I mean, we're all talking like this isn't Wicked's 23rd year on Broadway. The steam was going to lessen eventually. God forbid they start advertising or putting out *gasp* a discount code! Its basically Phantom in 2011... still plenty of life.

Cheyenne Jackson for the win!

I think its more of an indictment of the SAG/AEA Insurance System. Could lose your insurance and still be expected to pay your monthly dues. Not for lack of being able to pay them directly to make up the difference but purely based on work salary. Especially people who work split time on stage and film/TV. Is there no means for a collaborative health plan between the two unions?

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "Curious as to the reason for the delay. This isn’t the first cast album to be delayed or have an irregular release in the past few years"I think a 2.5 month turn around time from recording to release was already pushing it. Especially when they initially advertised a Winter release instead.

https://x.com/todrickDhall/status/2114390997803184452Now why is a random man messaging Todrick to offload "his" tickets because he can't make it? Like we know they're your comps, Diva. The tickets are gonna show that they're comps. Can we stop this? Just weird ass behavior from him...(The account is not actually Todrick (I believe), it's one of his weird fans that reposts his other Social Media pretending to be him)

Kad said: "That pricing structure would make sense in a big Broadway-sized house, but this is a 14-row, 300ish-seat off-Broadway space. They're all good viewing. (and $399 for this just seems absurd)"This is what was gonna say. You're basically gonna have the same view anywhere so why would you spend over $200 on any seat in such a tiny space?
