“Roundabout Warns Studio 54 Could Close” Dec 17
2025, 11:58:59 PM
I hate bureaucracy. It’s like:
“We want to finally make renovations to improve business”
”Okay, but you need to make sure you adhere to all of these zoning rules and codes”
”Some of these aren’t possible. Is there any way you can help us with some relief?”
”No ❤️ “

CHESS (2025 Broadway Revival) Reviews Dec 17
2025, 12:20:38 PM
I had a long post but the damn site refreshed so I’ll do the short version about last night.
Katerina and Samantha are absolutely fabulous understudies.

Her chemistry with Nick was also far hotter. Since Kat’s voice is lower, she’s not going into a constant high nasal belt like Lea and when she does go for

Does any job, Broadway or not, always give you the holidays you want to take off? What an inane question. She’s entitled to time off for whatever reason and the production is courteous enough to let the ticket buyers know when she isn’t going to be on.

Is this a really new thing? Maybe not all shows are in their database for this feature yet. It is really nice that you can print it out.
Also, I assume there is an "At this performance" board in the lobby. I didn't see one when I saw it but wasn't really looking for it."
They are. Equity rules require 2 of 3 firms of communicating absence:

The time has come. The Playbill I got at Chess this evening has a QR code under the cast page that takes you to a site that tells you all the changes.
I was quite sad because tonight is Samantha Pollino’s debut as Svetlana and was hoping to keep the slip.
Here’s what it looks like:

Everything pretty much held on with a little bump here and there. Some things of note:
- I’m still perplexed about the sudden shuttering of LBRR. It’s been holding the same grosses for the whole run, so other than Rudin wanting to pinch his pennies and/or give Laurie a little more rest time before SALESMAN, the rationale is a head scratcher.
- ALL OUT is already up on TDF for Christmas week. I think it’s going to have good and bad weeks (comparatively) bas

In the words of our Broadway Dame, Jinkx Monsoon, re: wigs - it looks like they tried to tease it, but they just pissed it off."

All I can see is Natasha Lyonne - she’s really just missing a cigarette in her hand.

Yes, but I already feel bad for Jessica. Love her voice and overall attitude. At least she has another Broadway credit...right?"
And a leading principal salary.

nope"
The book for TWO STRANGERS is very well-written and, above all, original (as in, not based on any previous IP). I could see its chances of winning Best Book being bolstered by that alone.
EDIT: And now with BEACHES in the mix, this further bolsters my case

A Marvel star AND one of the hot Ken dolls from the Barbie movie?! With each new casting, we stay FED!
Also, Tony Macht is gonna stay with this show until the ships goes down. He will be 80, the newest Mary hasn’t been born yet, and it will still be running.
