I had to call Seussical while touring with TheatreWorks while vomiting, so I know your pain.

I also had a stomach bug hit me hard during the first act of Junk while selling merch. Because my company sucked and I had no other sellers to ca

Unrelated, but...

I was there the night before, and watched the cast bring audience members up onto the stage, at the top of Act 2, to dance. One audience member slopped her drink all over the stage (understandability). As the official performance began, stage hand

blaxx said: "hey definitely have protection. The Beetlejuice and Mean Girls US tours are playing in Mexico City this summer."

Mean Girls is non-Equity, so Equity won't be offering them any sort of protection while they are in Mexico City.

In the case of Beetlejuice, yes, typically a one-off tour international stop like that everyone will still be under their original contract for the tour, possibly with an additional rider to co

FANtomFollies said: "I feel like with Eddie's contract being so short, if anything they will wait for the next Emcee and do a recording then. Kind of like Kiss of the Spider Woman where they waited for Vanessa Williams to replace Chita since she had already done the London recording."

Though with Spider Woman it wasn’t just Chita. All of the principals on the original recording also opened the show on Broadway. That recording wasn’t even originally la

Broadway Flash said: "I haven’t seen this production, but I am in love with the Sam MendesCabaret. Roundabout should have just remounted it at Studio 54 and we all would be watching the DEFINITIVE production of CABARET. No reason for this one. The choreo in this new onelooks ugly. And the costumes. You cant beat the WONDERFULRob Marshall choreo and William Ivey Long design!!"

Roundabout has already remounted the Mendes production, and that remount didn’t

SonofRobbieJ said: "He wrote a short play spoof on The Glass Menagerie called For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls that is so stupid and wonderful."

He also wrote a Streetcar parody called Desire, Desire, Desire. It’s been a long time since I’ve read it, but I remember Stanley constantly throwing beers in Blanche's face, Big Daddy coming in looking for peanut brittle, and at the end Harvey the Rabbit shows up and Bla

Broadway Flash said: "Isn’t the congestion pricing going to be for downtown Manhattan? there’s already a 16 dollar toll to get into the Lincoln tunnel, I think it will affect New Yorkers more than say New Jerseyans going to midtown. I don’t believe it will actually limit traffic but it’s a scheme to try to raise money. 3 billion for mta projects"

The current proposal is anything below 60th Street, not just downtown. The projected revenue is on

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Sure, but being 10 years older than a character is different than being 30 years too old (with an actor who's closer in age to his Madame A than his Desiree). Even if this is merely a concert and album, we can only suspend our disbelief so much. But ages are the least of the problems for some of this casting :)

As with a lot of classic musicals, the actors playing the principal roles have gotten older and older as time goes on. The origin

BroadwayNYC2 said: "Tbt to when Broadway Flash said “You’re going to have an egg on your face when the announcement comes” on 2/23 when they insisted this was going into the Hudson, despite everyone with brain cells explaining why it wouldn’t work."

They also had a pronouncement  that Thomas Schumacher would be reopening the Palace (I assume they were trying to allude to the long-rumored/wished for Beauty and the Beast 

Brave Sir Robin2 said: "Las Vegas has seen many! MAMMA MIA, JERSEY BOYS, LION KING, PHANTOM, AVENUE Q, SPAMALOT HAIRSPRAY, THE PRODUCERS, CHICAGO come to mind pretty quickly! After the success of MAMMA MIA, there was a big burst of shows, most of them cut down to 90 minutes."

It’s almost ironic that so many of the shows insisted they needed to cut down to 90 minutes when the first one to have a long-term successful run in Vegas was Mamma Mia, whic

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "A 74-year-old Fredrik (Raines) marrying an 18 year old is creepy beyond measure, even in just a concert and album. But I also don't think Fredrik sounds right as a basso profondo...you generally want more of a vocal contrast between him and the bombastic count.”

Just because Ron Raines is 74 it doesn’t mean that the character of Fredrik is also now 74. By that logic, the character of Anne is no longer 18, because Ker

Granted it’s been a while since I read the script, but I don’t recall much discussion, if any, of Aurora as a person, it’s all centered on the characters she played. So I’m not sure what making the character trans would actually add to the story without feeling kind of heavy handed to add dialogue to highlight it (note, that I’m opposed to casting a trans woman to play the part if she was right for it, and I’m sure there are a good number who could sing the
