Beth Leavel and Matt Doyle Will Lead WHEN PLAYWRIGHTS KILL in Boston Jan 16

JohnnyB3 said: "OMG. So I'm presuming Beth Leavel is playing the Faye Dunaway inspired character? This could be amazing."
This could be so deliciously camp. I’m wondering if this is going to be a farce-type comedy or much darker.
Side Note: I’ve been looking for a copy of his play HIGH for YEARS (it was the first Broadway drama I ever saw at 16), and I saw it was FINALLY out published.

Merkin2 said: "Why is this show never on TDF"
It never really needs to be. It’s become such an NYC institution at this point that most people will either buy full price or pick it up for a slightly higher price (than TDF) point at TKTS. They have their months of massive gains (star casting) that bolster the slower months.
Also, it’s likely that most TDF members have seen CHICAGO at this point and I doubt it would ever be listed for when

Entirely possible, especially since the star casting hadn’t exactly moved the needle much. Pretty much any gains they would’ve made with the star casting was probably eaten up by the star salary.
I do wonder if Kecia is going to come back for the final month or Yolanda will extend. They might also just promote one of the understudies for the last month as a cost cutting measure.

Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast Jan 16

Or Bridgett Everett?!"
If true, THEY’VE ALREADY TAKEN MY MONEY BUT TAKE MORE OF MY MONEY.
Honestly, I could see Murray Hill as Dr. Scott (if they split cast it from Eddie). But between this and CATS, the downtown/underground talent coming to Broadway is absolutely incredible.
I will say that today’s SIX casting announcement has squashed my hope for Dylan Mulvaney

This idea will also go over great with everyone who was complaining that it was too soon for a DEATH OF SALESMAN revival. The last AMS revival was 2019 (with Tracy Letts and Annette Bening)

I also heard that TAKE THE LEAD was aiming to make its transfer to Broadway, but not until the summer/early fall. They’ve workshopped and rewrote some of it since then. I don’t think they will be able to turn it around and plug it in that quickly though.

Agreed that if something is opening this spring, we should expect tobe hearing about it within the next week or two if auditions need to happen. But it could begin rehearsal in mid-Feb for early April previews. Crazier things have happened."

When Did Theater Become a Competition? Jan 15

Kad said: "Also: influencer events are not very fun. They're marketing. Whenever an influencer is invited to something, they are there with the understanding they will be making content and plugging the show on social media in exchange for perks or payment. Influencers are shills and it's a full-time job.

This about sums it up. I acknowledge that I go to a lot of shows and often multiple times. I’ve been asked if I was or wanted to

I want a MEXODUS transfer as much as the next person, but that is QUINTUPLE the size of the Minetta.

Re: HK
Good on them for getting as much mileage out of this show as they possibly could. They could’ve folded way back, but held on. The cast had also been going through it lately with many illnesses and also a large amount of cast injuries, so maybe they’ll finally have time to rest and heal.
Part of me also thinks they weren’t able to get additional people to stunt cast in some of the major roles. I can’t imagine Miss Liza Jane is anything less than dau

I’d be shocked if that happened considered the tepid reception in London. I’d imagine they’d also want Vanessa Williams to stay on and she’s contracted in London through April 18th, 2026.
Considering the Majestic is also closer in size as the Dominion, if this were really a thing, it might be a smarter move to push BEACHES into their flagship house (which the

I concur here. Even the most exhaustively researched shows are going to have omissions or dramatic license. It’s not possible to know EVERYTHING, let alone be able to dramatize it effectively.

Broadway to Australia Pipeline Jan 15
2026, 07:54:41 AM
Andy Karl, I believe, is more or less based in Australia these days because that’s where his fiancé (Elise McCann) works as a stage actress.
Broadway/American talent going to Australia may seem like a boom at the moment because there are two prominent performers there right now, but it’s no more or less than normal.
