quizking101 said: "To an extent…that is kind of how it was downtown. There were traditional seats, but it was primarily constructed like a ballroom with the boxes/balcony floors (it reminded me of the Bowery) and it had the longer runway."It really isn't. PAC just so happens to be a very black box modular theatrical space. That's not really a hard thing to reproduce, it's the unseen back end thats the problem.

What a huge disappointment for anyone who can’t camp out or spend $200+ a ticket for the last 2 weeks on Broadway."I’m hearing that thebox office is only selling SRO lately for in-person rush, even if there are tickets remaining elsewhere in the house."You would be correct. And that line has been starting as early as 3-4am. My friend who went on Monday was 18th in line and the fi...

malcs98 said: "So do you really think this production will have no other life after Broadway???"THIS specific production? Most likely not...Could it go to licensing? Ehhhhhhh I feel like also most likely not. Which is why I feel a cast recording is so important. Jellicle Ball is very specialized and we will likely never see it produced again because it requires a lot of authenticity to make it appear not exploitative.

malcs98 said: "I mean quizking101 pointed out the rush lines, whether that’s a sign for high ticket prices means to be seen. But unlike some of yall on these boards, I choose to be an optimistic. I’ve seen it 4 times and I have hope that this is notthe end of The Jellicle Ball.PS. Quizking, I signed your petition…is there a goal for how many signatures are needed?"I've seen it 4 times across downtown and Broadway as well, I've been a champion of it since the literal first announcement of the ...

malcs98 said: "Hey never say never…there’s tons of vacant space out there in NYC and if anybody outside of ALW & Michael Harrison can give this production “a different Jellicle life” it’s Randy Weiner. Think about it, they found an abandoned art supply building on 57th street and turned it into an opera populaire, I see no reason why C:TJB doesn’t follow that same trajectory."Well... because Phantom didn't close because it wasn't making money. Masquerade also priced out most low income theatr...

Kad said: "What’s being (rather idly) proposed here isn’t an extension at the Broadhurst, but rather putting Jellicle Ball in a custom venue like Masquerade and Sleep No More. Even if it were to happen, it would take a long time to carry out."Yeah that feels psychotic tbh. Like... just host it in a Ballroom at that point.

SweetLips22 said: "Have you NOT read through this thread? Maybe you were one of the above??"Are you talking about the back and forth about Meg's absence that had not essentially not been talked about in a full 10 days before you told everybody to shut up? Are you okay?

Doesn't he owe millions to landlords? What Broadway landlord is going to say Yes to such a liability?

SweetLips22 said: "The heading of this thread is Oh MARY Reviews so can we please just leave this to reviews of the performance you have just seen.All this squabble is juvenile and a waste of scrolling time to find a persons thoughts about a performance.I came to BWW to read and learn about theater and not be confronted with childish bitching."Literally what the **** are you talking about?

Fred Mason said: "How much do these shows get from being on apple tv?"It's just a storefront, its available anywhere you can buy/rent streaming films. How much they make from each individual storefront agreement is irrelevant because its more than zero and you're not getting a cut either way.

Pink is going to put on a thick Cajun accent that nobody will understand and nobody else in the cast uses.

I just don't understand the financial irresponsibility of this if it is true. You're going to hang an entire revival on two people who have never worked on stage before let alone in a project with the relationship is just so damn weird...

WorldWithoutYou said: "Valentina does have Rent Live and the In the Heights film on her resume, so on paper she may appear to be more qualified than someone like Plasma, Suzie Toot, or Myki Meeks, even if we all know there would be better choices."Valentina was around the world horrible in Rent and she had two lines in In The Heights. If we're using words on a page as a literal "on paper" meaning sure, but it sounds like insane malpractice on a casting director's part.

Kad said: "The thing is, I don't think Valentina will be getting many people to buy tickets. She is not a big draw, has always been limited in terms of her skill set, and was never really able to capitalize on her extremely memorable initial run on Drag Race 9 years ago (because what made it memorable was not anything that you'd want to buy a ticket for). So it's kind of weird they went with her. Even if they were sourcing solely from Drag Race contestants, there are plenty of other, more cap...

BrodyFosse123 said: "Don’t know in was fantasy you’re living in but the cast of the show do their own make-up and hair personnel place the wigs on them. Per union policy, a dresser helps them dress. All actors on Broadway do their own make-up and prep their own hair for the wig cap."It is not an across the board rule. Jellicle Ball has makeup artists, Wicked (obviously) has an artist for Elphaba. It has to do with whether the person has the pull to demand someone do their makeup or if logisti...

Im glad its for a good cause, but $60 for an unsigned Playbill that you can get for under $10 at the Flea Market...

joevitus said: "iluvtheatertrash said: "I think it's you, Joevitus,failing to understand QuizKing..."Hardly. John Adams already said it, but the point of my comment was that if these dances are impossible to do regularly without risking injury, isn't because dancers can't be expected to do demanding choregography 8 shows a week but because this specificchoreography hasn't been designedin a way that it is possible to execute regularly without riskinginjury.I meannnnnn Cats was notorious for in...

ColorTheHours048 said: "Drag Race’s Valentina is joining the cast as Columbia starting July 21st. (Given her track record, expect to see a lot of Larkin and Caleb.)"Her issue isn't showing up, its that she takes forever getting ready. I would hope with people getting her ready that would be less of an issue...Columbia doesnt exactly need to be a strong singer so that may be fine...

Just another dig at Sean Nyberg and his "👏PAY 👏 FULL 👏 PRICE" ****. Jellicle Ball had a higher average ticket price than Wicked this week.

ColorTheHours048 said: "Sean Nyberg is also lurking in comment sections and taking to his Instagram stories to blame “the community” (whatever that actually means) for not “showing up” and buying full- price tickets. As if we didn’t turn out in droves to support it at PAC 2 years ago. He should be looking into how to reduce costs for audiences and actually make Broadway a place people can afford to visit less discerningly."Actually he can't do that because he's not a producer who actually has...
