I'm so happy to see Cats: The Jellicle Ball in the Million Dollar Club, even if the reason is sad.

For me, Ms. Grande isn't a loss here; Mr. Bailey was and remains the only draw, and I feel certain that they'll be able to find a suitable replacement for Dot if they choose to do so. However, I pray to the theatre gods that it won't be Cynthia Erivo.

Phantom4ever said: "While it is heartwarming to hear that the 1988 set is still in storage AND still in New York City, CamMack will never let that original set see the light of day again, especially now that so much advertising and image creating has been done to convince everyone that the new US tour and the new London production are the Prince/Bjornson original."I've never wanted to disagree so much, but I fear you are correct. I've come to truly despise Cameron Mackintosh. He's even sellin...

SisterGeorge said: "I haven't had any interest in Stranger Things -- the series or the show-- but I'll be in town next Sunday evening and I've seen everything else that has a Sun eve performance, and it is a Stephen Daldry show, after all. Can anyone comment on how it's doing with the new cast?"My husband and I have seen it four times, and are considering going back once more before it closes. Our last performance was with the new cast, and we were delighted by how well the new leads have tak...

Fred Mason said: "It appeals to no one."Why do people keep posting ridiculous statements like this?

QueenTwinnied said: "For what it's worth there(re preserving the show) there is a slime tutorial out there publicly available to easily find."From the Broadhurst, or PAC? I found the PAC one several weeks ago, but nothing from Broadway.

Omari Oricci Wiles on FacebookTo everyone who has laughed, cried, danced, and found a piece of themselves at Cats: The Jellicle Ball, This letter comes from a place of deep love.Love for theater. Love for ballroom. Love for Black and Brown artistry. Love for queer brilliance. Love for every performer, musician, designer, stagehand, dresser, usher, producer, and dreamer who made this production possible.First, thank you.Thank you for creating something that so many of us never imagined we woul...

Matt Rogers said: "Most people find CATS ridiculous? It only ran for 18 years on Broadway and has been produced around the world ever since. I guess you speak only for yourself and not “most people”."Thank you for saying this. I've been thinking the same thing for quite some time now, but I no longer have the energy to respond to the sweeping pronouncements of a large number of people on this board. They've turned me from a frequent poster to a virtual lurker.

BentleyB said: "The cost of coming to the city is crazy. We would come 4 to 5 times per year for the past 20 years. This past year we have not come because hotels, flights, restaurants, and tickets are through the roof."This has been a very real factor for us as well. Going back about five or six years, my husband and I wouldn't hesitate to fly to NY for 3-4 nights for anything that interested us, and we did this 3-5 times per year. Now, the cost of a hotel, airfare, and dining are ridiculous...

This thread is a perfect example of just how insufferable this board can be, and too often is, these days.

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "Andrew Lloyd Webber previously suggested that he'd like to see "somebody who is in their early 40s" play the Phantom.https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Andrew-Lloyd-Webber-Teases-Possible-PHANTOM-OF-THE-OPERA-Movie-Remake-20250623"I'd like to see that too. And someone who can actually sing the role.

ACL2006 said: "that sucks. it should have won Best Revival."My sentiments exactly. To me, it felt like when Crash won the Oscar instead of Brokeback Mountain.

My husband and I went on an Atlantis cruise several years back, before there was a Virgin cruise line, when they were still contracting Celebrity ships. The itinerary included a stop at Istanbul, which didn't appeal much to me, but Atlantis assured us it was safe. There was a welcome station done up in the typical rainbow balloons and bunting, but it quickly became apparent that the objective was to get passengers into rug and lamp stores. We had an unpleasant and vaguely threatening encounte...

I was so disappointed by Cameron Mackintosh's allegedly "Better than ever!" cheapening of the London production that I didn't expect to ever see it again, but Jordan Donica's casting in the lead might motivate me. IMHO, his performance in Sunset Blvd rivaled that of Nicole Scherzinger, and the thought of him singing "Let your soul take you where you long to BE!" is very enticing. Ms. Boggess as Carlotta certainly adds some icing to the cake.

I would've thought Phantom.

You don't get to speak for me."I'm not sure whether I'd see this show, but I agree 100% with your comment. What's with these people who presume to speak for everyone with sweeping statements like, "nobody wants this"?

Plannietink08 said: "2:22 - A Ghost Story was just announced for an Off-Broadway run. I could seeFrançois playing either of the male roles in that, could that be a possibility?"The post I saw specified Broadway, but as I said, it was unconfirmed.

Those of you indicating Three Days of Rain, is that confirmed?
