I wanted Domingo for Frank because Lord knows the man has the range, theatrical chops, and now the heightened celebrity. Plus, the man looks DAMN good in his 50s and no doubt he in wearing a pair of fishnets would absolutely become some tenderqueer’s theatre a

This thread is a messssssss.
I will personally attest to the fact that I was not a believer of Ensemble1711 for the same reason Kad cited - the generic username created relatively recently (compared to most of us old guard who’ve been here since dial-up and DSL) at a time where there is a particular user who continues to regenerate with different usernames, creating inane threads and making comments that are meant to inflame as oppose to contribute to the conversation.

THE MONSTERS at City Center (MTC)? Jan 28
2026, 12:00:27 PM
I posted briefly about this in the snowstorm thread. I saw the second preview on Saturday and all I can say is WOW. This is already a contender for one of my favorite plays of the year, if ever.
The play is staged with the audience on 3 sides and there isn’t a bad view at all regardless of your seat. The premise of the play is, essentially, an estranged pair of siblings, separated by time, age, and traumatic life events, reunite at an MMA match and attempt to embark on rediscover

I know many theatres in NYC have official landmark status that roadblocks renovations, but the Lortel isn’t one of them. However, I’d bet they really don’t have any disposable income

Are discount codes a thing of the past? Jan 28
2026, 07:48:41 AM
I think the traditional discount code is a thing of the past, unfortunately. It’s sad because my nascent theatregoing days were spending on BroadwayBox searching for discounts.
Most discounts have just been repackaged in different terms, like buying ahead and getting 20-30% off, or seat maps using a dynamic pricing function that raises and lowers prices based on demand. Some shows also change their prices on their own via their website.
Personally, I know CHESS drops their

TodayTix limited seat options Jan 28
2026, 07:43:03 AM
Some productions might do that, but many/most I’ve seen are directly linked their respective Telecharge/BroadwayDirect/ATG map and so you have carte Blanche to pick wherever you want.
Also, I haven’t seen the “solo seat” block come up in a VERY long time - although I am a Gold member so maybe an exception is part of my perks?

New ticket booth in Times Square? Jan 28
2026, 07:40:16 AM
If it doesn’t have any TDF or TKTS signage/logos, it’s not an affiliate and, personally, I wouldn’t trust it. They sometimes have discounted tickets, but it would be like buying your seats off of Broadway.com - third party, higher price than normal because of junk fees, uncertainty of your seat location, and (doesn’t apply to the website but) no protection if the event is cancelled or postponed.
Like every Broadway show mentions, always stick to the designated s

I’m actually thrilled. This was on my shortlist to see when I went last week, but it was sold out. So glad I get a chance to see it now.

Bryce Farris was actually in the cast for the final leg and played Tumblebrutus at the final performance when Primo wasn't able to."
Oh duh. And I was at that performance too. 😂

Operation mincemeat (shameless) extension marketing ploy? Jan 26
2026, 11:36:45 AM
Kad said it perfectly. And honestly? This seems to be the more effective marketing method.
Open runs these days tend to just go in blind expecting they will outpace the competition and then the pearl clutching happens when - *surprise* - they don’t.

'The Traitors' Heading to London Stage in 2027 Jan 26
2026, 06:26:04 AM
This sounds like a mess waiting to happen. I admire Hastie as a director since he’s one of the few I know who truly knows how to do good ensemble work, but adapting a competition to the stage is going to be a challenge.
They will either have to find a way where they can change the Traitors/outcome à la DROOD, or they run the risk of the game result being given up before the end. At least with CLUE, that’s already a mystery with a storyline.

7 Shows/3 Days - West End Roundup Jan 25
2026, 08:02:07 PM
I don’t think it would even come close to $80M to develop on Broadway. That’s more than Stranger Things ($45M+) and Harry Potter ($68M+).
While the show is certainly complex in certain ways, I think it would at best be comparable to something like DEATH BECOMES HER.

In defense of macbeth, it was picked up by PopBase and is currently viral on Twitter where most people who aren’t discerning get their news. The problem here is that they used them as their “source”, which is no better than using a blind item from Deuxmoi

7 Shows/3 Days - West End Roundup Jan 25
2026, 05:44:58 PM
The current rumor I heard is that it’s planning on coming to the St. James in the fall riding in on a wave of awards recognition from the Oliviers (à la Mincemeat), hence why Titanique is having a short run with, at most, 1-2 extensions built in. It’s to keep the lights on at the theatre and also bolster the Titanique brand before ATG’s big new show comes in.
My immediate concern is that this show looks VERY expensive in terms of production cost
