CHESS (2025 Broadway Revival) Reviews

To my understanding, their breakeven is around $900K - and they’ve been making twice that and then some on a weekly basis.

I know from experience that I’ve looked at the Telecharge map on the day of the show (usually to explore possible discounts or rush options) and while it looks half full at the start of the day, by showtime, the house is almost nearly full.

One pattern I notice is that, the closer you get to showtime, especially for midweek performances, the &ldq

Side note: Tickets for that performance are FLYING. I went to get one and I got bumped three times when selecting seats because they went into someone else’s cart

David Cumming will also be on vacation from January 11th to the 19th per his Instagram.

I’m actually glad to see that not only have they been able to extend multiple times, but against all odds (not being a “starry” show), are able to move on to a replacement cast.

It seems sensible to just promote the understud

The Queen speaking the truth. Anyway, I think Tony voters will have the toughest time choosing between Coon and Manville. Great problem to have in Broadway.
"

Coon, Manville, Metcalf (LBRR), Squibb, Edibiri, Henson, Emond, Byrne, O’Hara, and Flood would be eligible.

This is turning into the Mother-Off of 2026.


Road Trips to Theater
 Jan 9 2026, 09:46:43 AM

I didn’t start road tripping for theatre until around 2023, but I enjoy each time I do, especially the adrenaline rush of seeing two shows in two different cities in a 24 hour period - which I’ve done a few times.

One of my favorites though was last year, some friends and I went up to White Plains to see Jagged Little Pill (exclusively for Autumn Hurlbert) and we were all in the front row, basically being her cheering section, and boy did she RIP into those songs. (Side not

It is also entirely possible that they may hire some of the originals as understudies.

Personally, I’d be THRILLED to see Anne Fraser Thomas come back as a u/s for Molly Brown, especially since her debut in QOV was chopped short

To my knowledge, Morrison will actually no longer be taking over the role - that ship has sailed. But he will be coming back this season in another show

From what I was just informed, the blockbuster casting is still in waiting and may come out around the general sale date. I cannot say who, but Rose is an Academy and Tony Award nominee (who hasn’t done Broadway since the 90s) and Cal…is coming back to Broadway after a 10-year absence.

I’m gonna say buy now.

I didn’t see her as Molly Brown initially. I thought she was gonna play the Iceberg. If anything, I want Avionce Hoyles back as the Iceberg because that boy can SAAAAANNNNG!

Re: Parsons - I’m wondering if this is his moment to lean into full tilt camp for once. I think he might surprise us.

Well, I was in the audience. 😉 Obviously I’m not sure what happens in the second act, but it didn’t seem like anything was amiss during Act One. (I will say that I found what I saw very…meh.)

1) Thank you for correcting me on the date being two weeks away.

2) I am not her effing publicist. As I stated in another thread, I don’t have anything against Lea, but I did enjoy Katerina’s by comparison. I wanted to boost my opinion since, as the date comes up, people like to wring their hands and clutch their pearls about the understudy and I want it to be a reassurance that - having seen the show 8 times now - I have some fully informed opinions.

Katerina and Samantha are absolutely fabulous understudies. The former has a more steely resolve and you can see the tension in her bubbling throughout Act I, making it clear that she is not here to babysit Freddie anymore. Her chemistry with Nick was a

Can anyone confirm that the partial view seats are fine? The Broadway 2 for 1 price is good, but I wanna be sure before I hit buy. Thanks!

I disagree, I think a STRANGER THINGS proshotcould have a Hamiltonian effect and actually get more people interested in seeing it live.

Hamilton is also performer and material-driven, not spectacle/effects driven. On top


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/4/26

It appears everyone got their nice little boost for NYE. However, the following weeks are going to likely look a lot more dour.

Re: Stranger Things - All I see is 2/18 blocked off as having no performance (aside from the usual Mondays). Good for them for getting their gross up, but they are FAR from looking like they are gonna settle in for the long haul. Before the holidays and the Season 5 release, they were barely paying the bills, and only ever got roughly 60% of their 1.5M breakev

I somehow completely forgot that she actually staged it and wasn’t just attached.

I’d love another woman of color to come aboard to direct, but I’m trying to think of one. I know Whitney White doesn’t have a good track reco

as long as Schele Williams is no longer attached to directing it.

I half-agree here. I think Schele Williams is a terrible director (I’ll never forgive her lazy hand on the Wiz revival), BUT she was also part of the original productions of AIDA, and so she may have some insight that an outside director might not.
