I have a ticket to The Music Man for today's (12/23) matinee performance I need to get rid of!

Telecharge has refused to refund my ticket even though I explicitly explained to them that I travel by train (NJ Transit) from central NJ to New York City, and I cannot make today's matinee performance due to inclement weather!  But Telecharge is giving me a hard time over it! 

I am willing to offer a MAJOR discount for my ticket!  Front row orchestra sea

I saw King Kong the Musical and they incorporate giant screens to depict chase scenes.

Pyrotechnics I think are feasible but have to be limited and take into account safety measures.

I watched the 1984 cult classic Streets of Fire, directed by the legendary Walter Hill. 

This movie has literally everything: action for the boys, romance for the girls, and a number of musical performances.  This one stars Michael Pare and Diane Lane when she was in her late teens.  I really like this movie and think it's the ideal date movie as it has something for everybody.

And I was thinking: this one would be a really brilliant musical.  I'm sur

I should make clear that the list below refers to shows that have been permanently closed in the last couple weeks due (at least in part) to COVID.

but yeah, there were a couple of shows that didn't survive the initial shutdown (Mean Girls, Frozen).

Slave Play was never a commercial hit.  Even in this era of woke enlightened progressive politics, this show never resonated with audiences.  And audiences right now probably are not in the mood to see a downbeat show about slavery.  

My guess is that the "major" show that's going to be cancelled is either Aladdin or Hadestown (if we are talking about "hit" shows), though I suspect that the show that is announcing it will be closed will eithe

The Tony performance and win was great, but by this point, I don't think the general public really cares ab

Thanks for your thorough review, conealpetterson.

I don't think anybody is going to compare to the original cast.  They are just perfect, especially their chemistry. And they just defined their roles; all the subsequent actors will have to live up their legacy.  It's difficult to replicate Daveed Diggs b/c he just brings such a unique angle to his role as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson.  Plus, Diggs is a master rapper.  He can bust those rhymes li

True, but King George III has been the only main role in Hamilton that is reserved for a Caucasian actor. Though Jin Ha (Korean American) has also played King George III on several occasions in Chicago.  

Interestingly, Javier Munoz was actually an understudy for King George at one point before taking over the role of Hamilton!  

as for Ryan Vasquez, he's Caucasian looking and could pass for white.  Same for Carleigh Bettiol.  I am aware that

Watched a clip of Ryan Vasquez on YouTube performing "She Used to be Mine" from the Waitress Broadway show.  Pretty good singer, a bit raw.  He looked a bit nervous and seemed to have tried to overcompensate a bit by acting goofy at times (perhaps as a defense mechanism b/c audiences were l
