SUGAR DADDY planning a 2025 Broadway run May 8
2024, 04:40:50 PM
He’s a funny comic, but I feel like this is going to go the way of My Son’s A Queer. It got decent reviews, but it’s not a juggernaut requiring a transfer like Oh, Mary

If Stereophonic didn’t transfer… May 8

QueenAlice said: "I'm surprised but Appropriate seems to have lost a little steam with its transfer to the Belasco. I'd be surprised if it upset director, but I suppose anything could happen."
If anything, the transfer keeps it in the conversation and allows for more people to see it who missed it at 2ST. It’s not like TAKE ME OUT, which lost a LOT of momentum after transferring 6 months later.

MayAudraBlessYou2 said: "I'd add Michael Imperioli for a potential Featured Actor nomination. It's a big scene chewy role. And since Stereophonic has 3 men in the category, I think Imperioli, Keen, and Esper would be next in line to take their spots.
I completely forgot about Imperioli and that’s sad because he did leave an impression on me.

With a record setting 13 Tony nominations, Stereophonic put a dent in most of the play categories and some of the musical ones as well. (Deservedly so)
Had they not transferred, I’m curious to think who would’ve been the alternative nominations to fill their slots. I’m mostly thinking about the Featured Actor/Actress, Score and Orchestrations category.
For F. Actor, I would’ve definitely thought Will Keen (Patriots) and Michael Esper (Appropriate) would&r

HenryTDobson said: "Six is also starting to struggle. Do we think it'll close soon and move off-Broadway?”
SIX is a cheaper show to run than most and hasn’t even tapped into potential avenues to refresh the show, including possibly using star or stunt casting. I doubt it will close anytime soon.
A lot of people see “starting to struggle” and “slightly dropping” as a sign to pull the plug. I would HATE to work with y

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Wonder if ATG is regretting exercising their option to move APPROPRIATE. It has never reached the highs of the 2nd Stage run(despite more seats to fill)."
I’m actually a little surprised that Mother Play isn’t smashing the records that Appropriate set at 2ST earlier in the season given the casting.
Heart of Rock & Roll is just going to keep plugging along - but I think they will close probably well before 6/

NY City Center Encores 2024 season: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Sutton Foster (adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino), JELLY'S LAST JAM, and TITANIC May 5

I actually spoke to Conrad today (since I just learned this myself). He was bummed about backing out, but there was unfortunately too much overlap with the show and also tech for Oh, Mary (which opens three days after Titanic closes)

Where were your RUSH seats for these shows (and would you advise for or against them)? May 5

DebraR said: "My daughter is 23, would that mean we would rush in person for Mary Jane & Mother Play?"
The rush for Mary Jane is either digital (for all) or in-person for students. If she has a student ID and is buying the tickets, then it’s shouldn’t be an issue. For 30 under 35, you can buy 2 tickets and the purchaser’s guest can be any age.
For Mother Play, their student rush and 30 under 30 are STRICT and they will verify that guest h

LEMPICKA closing May 19 May 4

I was also there this afternoon and the show has grown on me. Not that it will supplant any other show as my favorite, but I just take it for what it is - history with a heavy dollop of (unintentional and intentional) camp.
I saw LuPone and took a brief picture with her. She was nice and I was afraid to approach her initially because I try to always be so mindful of boundaries. Thankfully, it didn’t result in her swiping my cell phone 😂

Recent stage door experiences at Enemy of the People? May 4
2024, 05:53:15 PM
When I went during previews, it was just as everyone described. The cast was warm and accommodating and the patrons were polite.
Part of it is that the staff likely dissuaded the SUCCESSION and SOPRANOS autograph hunters away by being clear and firm they wouldn’t get their stuff signed.
Considering the SD situation at the Circle is only ever a handful of people or a chaotic crap show, this was surprisingly chill.

It was ambitious in scope but ultimately too messy and unfocused to amount to a truly good biomusical.
One of my friends who diehard loved it was complaining about them closing when they had three Tony nominations and I had to explain to him that they don’t always amount to sales and also the show had no chance of winning any of the categories

Fully agree. I feel like the were too proud to admit their advance was terrible and were just trying to bank on Gen X nostalgia from the jump.

Alex Edelman, Abe Jacob, Nikiya Mathis among winners of special Tony awards. May 2

I’m thrilled for Edelman. I personally would LOVE if the Tonys got Whoopi Goldberg to present him the award since she is clearly a fan of his work and they have history.
Check out this clip from THE VIEW to see what I’m referring to: https://youtu.be/63Lgjjs2_3Q?si=nybAVVUNK_phKOeF

Theatre "Influencers" May 1
2024, 12:28:19 PM
I know a few (stressing “few”) legitimate theatre social media creators, but I truly don’t feel like they do anything more than preaching to the choir - they tend to focus on the shows they hype more than the pick-me crowd. The rest are all just a collective of bite-sized TikTok reviewers focused on getting clicks and attention.
Being someone who has been deeply involved as a theatre patron and having friends who are performers, I’ve had people suggest I do

I’m wondering what’s the over/under on Stereophonic becoming an open-ended run? With 13 nominations and poised to take quite a few (yes, I’m aware they can only get a maximum of 10 due to doubling and tripling in the acting categories), this could take off like a rocket.
Heart of R&R makes me sad because it’s so fun, but it was definitely a bad timing situation. If it held off until the summer, it probably could’ve been less subject to a financial drub
