Saw on Instagram a picture of Adrien Brody’s mugshot on an electric box in Midtown, with a QR that leads to 748days.com. Not sure if this is a sign of anything, but the announcement is supposed to come at 10am tomorrow.

A tour was announced for 2027:

Also, a cursory look at the seating maps for this week show that Groff is the largest selling point of this show. If the material were actually stronger, it could still easily sell out with an understudy lead. Folding at the end of March is the smart move - but I will also selfishly be peeved because that means that CATS could’ve moved in there had JIT not kept extending over and over again.

Kad said: "Contracts not being renewed is not the same thing as being fired."

Correct. Though, I feel like there is a conflation because all of the performers here have been with the show for an extended period of time (practically unheard of for 99% of Broadway shows) and so them being let go at the end of a contract and them not seeming too thrilled about it has a similar vibe of “oh, they were fired”.

Unless Jeff Gorti is counted in that 7 since he left on leave and said he isn’t coming back

- Dee is on as Helen

- Kyle is on as Chagall (and, frankly, he’s terrible). There is zero sense of menace and mystery and he queens up like Frank N Furter in Rocky’s body.

- Wedding sponsor was Safelite

- 30 second applause when curtain went up for For The Gaze. Megan is clearly moved but she is also a pro at making the gestures to keep the show moving.

- Standing ovation after “Falling Apart”"

Just curious… does anybody know the last time all four (4) leads were on together before Megan’s departure?

"

It would probably be at least one day during the holiday week. Their schedule was 4 two show days - so odds are at least one of them were all together. Without Understudies.org to cross reference (and they also still use paper cast slips for covers), it’s hard to be certain.

I wish they would restage that final joke because the fandom has been getting too loud. I missed it the last three times I went because the audience is in a tizzy after that last note

Act II -

- I couldn’t hear the “What do you want to do now?” because the crowd was too loud.

- Josh Lamon gave her flowers and a lovely speech and Megan was visibly crying. 

Act I Summary:

Per their marketing email this morning:

Our new Broadway recruits enter active duty from February 24! And… HOT DOG! They’re all American! Their identities will remain confidential for the time being, but watch this space for more intel on the incoming recruits…

RippedMan said: "Do we think they’ll dress the show up more or is it going to the be the Off Broadway set? I know the Chicago was a non replica production!"

I feel like there will be some influence from the UK production in how it’s scaled up. (Granted, I’m not sure what that exactly entails)

GirlFromOz68 said: "The people who track the rush say they only guarantee the 8 box seats for rush and then later in the day offer those $79 partial view seats.

They have a total of 20 box seats (Three tiers - 2, 4, and 4). I’ve been told they are all withheld from public sale with the exception of Rush, mostly because I’ve had the accessibility fight with them a few times since I am far too large/uncomfortable in regular seats and don’t mind the partial view if it means my legs aren’t hard pressed into the seat in front of me.

I’ve mentioned this before though - if you are going to rush and it seems like you won’t be getting a box, make sure you look at the the TeleCharge map while you wait and see the prices there. I’ve mentioned before that I previously got offered a “$79 premium rush” price on a seat that had been discounted down to $74 ($59 + $15 fee) on the website already, so I said I would decline the rush price and instead buy it for $59 as shown on the site - which they honored.

Basically, the “premium rush” is only a deal if the seat they offer you is more than $94 ($79 + $15 fee) on the Telecharge website. Otherwise, it’s not a deal.

Jarethan said: "I am still surprised by Glengarry Glen Ross' grosses earlier this year large, as I really did not expect that trio to sell so many tickets, especially in that large theatre at those prices. I have not considered purchasing tickets for this, because I expect discount tickets to become available before it opens or, failing that, for it to be a regular on TKTS. Are people on this board expecting those two to be big box office attractions?

I am thinking that, just a few years ago, Jessica Chastain -- Oscar in hand -- was regularly at TKTS in a smaller theatre. I don't get it."

I can’t imagine they will be a major draw, but anything is possible in a slim season. I think them announcing this a year in advance was a major indicator that they need to get buzz going early for it to be effective. They are also up against heavy over-the-title competition in the Spring with Nathan Lane, John Lithgow, Don Cheadle, Cedric The Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Daniel Radcliffe and Ayo Edibiri (also from THE BEAR).

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

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.
