Stranger Things: The First Shadow

"When pressed, Mackintosh says there is a chance this new 'Phantom' might, in coming months, move into a Broadway theater for a limited run, as 'Mamma Mia!' did this fall with remarkable fiscal success. “A Mamma Mia-style engagement would be the only way it would work now on Broadway,' he says, although one can discern he has thought hard about the idea."

Several months ago, Playbill.com posted a trailer video for the Ryan Silverman production in Italy, and it included characters singing. I liked what I saw and heard and was immediately excited about it. I bookmarked the page at the time, but now it says "We couldn't find what you were looking for...". However, a Google search found it on Instagram:

I'm happy to see a nice little uptick for Stranger Things.

This is infuriating. They put the tickets on sale, you buy what appear to be the best seats, and then later find that they weren't honest about the seating options.

Thank you for sharing this as a gift article!

If I had to choose, I would book a performance without Tveit; IMO, he's the weakest link. I'd like to know if someone else could salvage "One Night In Bangkok".

A "30-year lease" seems awfully optimistic.

A 30 year lease?!?

There's this:

But I can't explain the fact that the audition notice seems to suggest a straight play.

We saw the 7:00 p.m. performance on 11/22/25. I thought the first 55 minutes to be a bit of a slog, but the second half was, as many have stated, "riveting". Manville and Strong deserve Tony awards.

Interesting and excited that he's being more flexible. I'll forgive him for Bad Cinderella if we can get the Hollywood Bowl's Superstar at Radio City for a Week."

I loved Bad Cinderella and hated Cynthia Erivo in Jesus Christ Superstar, but loved this article - thanks for sharing.

Are you replying to a post that seems close to the bottom of the thread? If so, see here (post #327)"

No, the specific post to which I'm replying seems to be irrelevant.
