I don't know if this discussion is on-topic on this thread, but I've never quite understood this line of thought. New York City is not really a dangerous place in general. Famous people are out in public all the time, in places that stalkers cou


ALL OUT: COMEDY ABOUT AMBITION Reviews
 Dec 13 2025, 09:55:09 PM

I was there tonight. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

This was one of the most comedically inert nights of theatre I have ever had and it’s a damn shame considering the comedic talent on board. I laughed exactly twice - once at an extended joke about an unfortunate math teacher by Jon Stewart, and an extended story about Paul Revere’s horse done by Eric Andre. Everything else felt like a bunch of children’s stories sometimes given a PG-13 ki

I pose the question to the righteous of the thread. 

Since Scott Rudin is one of the lead producers on THE BOOK OF MORMON, should that show then close down because of his toxic behaviors? By extension, everyone working on a production of BoM is choosing career and art over “colleague's ability to have a safe workplace”

I don’t think there really should be a double standard where you condemn Metcalf (who already has her next gig lined up) &nbs

Sam Tutty would be a great Hero but I think he is too young for Pseudolus.


Tom Hanks to lead self-written play THIS WORLD OF TOMORROW at The Shed
 Dec 13 2025, 10:44:14 AM

I went last night and I’m kinda glad I’m not alone in a lot of the feelings and sentiments I had about this play.

- This felt like the staging of a movie. It had all the cinematic flair pushed into the confines of the stage which, while admirable, was very hit or miss from me.

- Hanks is affable and, from afar and in a somewhat questionable wig, does appear young enough to be courting Kelli’s character (they are 20 years apart in age). If anything, I was happy

Not bad for someone who hasn’t had their morning coffee yet. 

I honestly just need Richard Kind back on stage in anything, even if he’s just there to yell insults at an audience. I know my dream PRODUCERS revival with him and John Mulaney will never happen.


A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum with Nathan Lane (1996)
 Dec 13 2025, 08:46:30 AM

I didn’t see this revival (I was 2 years old), but I did recently see a much more queered-up revival at Signature Theatre in DC last year with Kuhoo Verma and Cameron Loyal and I remember having an absolute blast. 

I’m just wondering who would be the best option for a director and cast that could nail down classic musical comedy. I would think Nicholaw or Timbers for direction, and (maybe as a dream) Alex Brightman or  as Pseudolus, Michael Urie as Hysterium, Rich

You’d be rich but have 100K missing from your bank account.

This was an A+ joke. 

But do you think Seaview is doing the Rudin model of getting high profile guaranteed moneymakers on board, then using gains from those to finance new works - but just abso

Little Bear and Liberation have both struggled, Liberation even more, making it harder than ever for new plays to find audiences. And both of these had stunning receptions. Are starry revivals of the canon warhorses the only successes? It's frightening."

I honestly am pissed that this is closing. I found this

Is Trevor Wayne ever in THE OUTSIDERS?
 Dec 11 2025, 03:51:17 PM

I feel like every day I check the Understudies page for whatever show I’m going to see, I’m almost ALWAYS seeing either Josh Strobl or Eli Talley on for Ponyboy (like 6-7 shows per week), and yet Trevor remains top billed.

I haven’t seen the show since the OBC, but I’ve had friends ask me what the deal was with that and Reddit, such as it is, seemed like a black hole of conspiracy theories. Anyone here have anything that could address my curiosity?

I’m thinking they need to save this song for any late night perf


Why don’t Off Bway shows report their weekly grosses?
 Dec 11 2025, 02:45:18 PM

Yeah. Kad nailed it. Even at the more “commercial” venues like New World Stages, it wouldn’t make sense.

I could just imagine if off-Broadway posted and people on this board would freak out if they saw that (example) HEATHERS grossed only $110,000 in a week and not recognizing that the theatre is 499 seats and budgeted much differently than Broadway.

Interesting. I’ve only ever seen shows pull rush when the show is successful - not when it’s crash landing toward an early closing. You’d think they’d want to keep Rush for curious people or those who would want to see it again (for casting changes) but not at full price.

While an unconventional choice, I think doing “Mountain Duet” in the flagship program was the smartest idea because it gives the audience Lea Michele and also shows off a hint of Nicholas Christopher’s powerhouse vocals. “Heaven…” was also beautifully done.

The theatre was literally trying to charge them MORE for a ticket for no reason. Where is the entitlement there? lol

Thank you! And the only reason I brought this up is because people often ask about rush situations and whatnot and I think it was important to share that so


OH, MARY! Reviews
 Dec 11 2025, 09:41:45 AM

They have more than enough profit where they can get into more experimental/niche casting like this. If Hannah can go on as Mary for two weeks and no noticeable dent in sales is made, I could see JCM doing million-dollar business as well. It also has the added bonus of not having to contend with a swarm of buzzy new shows opening in the Spring to compete against it. They also still have other new casting to announce as well (though I know John-Andrew is staying on through JCM’s run)
