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.

It’s gett

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.

Wacky theory as this sounds, could it be possible that his move to close LBRR early and the money it saved could actually help to subsidize some of the prices here so they could be lower?

Damn. That’s a lineup! 

I’m excited for John Drea and Jack Falahee. Also, isn’t Joaquin Consuelos the son of Kelly Ripa and her husband?

You would be correct. Phoenix is on today and, with that, I’ve now seen Sam with three different Robins.

Re: Dujonna - I’m not sure why. I think in importing the show to the U.S, if the producers had to pick one or the other, getting the British boy as the British character to come over and cast an American actress in the role of the American girl was probably the smarter move financially.

Although I can’t compare to Vincent, Tutty’s accent also disappears a bit when he sings. I’m going this afternoon and curious to see who is on. I’m honestly hoping for double understudies - I love Sam & Christiani, but I also selfishly want to see a third unique pairing (I saw Sam/Dujonna in London). Per his Insta, Sam is getting over walking pneumonia, which is both highly contagious and scary since it’s quite literally a lung infection (though milder than m
