BroadwayNYC2 said: "There’s a new rumored production for the Hudson once a week on these boards. Why just the Hudson, well, that I can’t answer."

It's only seven years old, with terrific sight lines up to the last row in the balcony- and (aside from the latter part of the Merrily run) ticket prices are often quite reasonable

Stephanie Mills will now join the cast on Thursday, July 11

Grey House had some terrific jump scares

Stephanie Mills' Hermes debut will now be Tuesday, July 9. Yola and Maia Reficco join the company tonight

I was at the final NYTW show today (my first time in that space). Moises Kaufman was in the house.

I thought the show was extraordinarily powerful. If it were to come to Broadway it would do well in one of the nonprofit houses, with less pressure to stunt cast.

The existing company is terrific, especially Elizabeth Stahlmann in the lead (I saw her in Grounded at Westport Country Playhouse, she was fantastic)

Prices look high-ish for something with no stars & only 90 minutes - I'm comparing to what I paid for Sweeney Todd in the same theater"

Sweeney Todd was in the Lunt-Fontanne, not the Longacre

After Midnight on CBS (which replaced James Corden's show and which I like a lot more than JC) did a Tony-focused episode last night. Likely the first time Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All and Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up have been referenced on late night. Here's a playlist featuring the whole episode:

I absolutely loved this. A terrific score performed by an extremely talented young cast.

On the technical side, wow the lighting. For a show set mostly in the dark, you could see everything clearly. Paul Newman projections are also really well done

And re the choreo/fight choreo- yes the rumble is fantastic, but the fire and fountain sequences also took my breath away

Outsiders for musical, choreography, and/or lighting design

Wait, what? What film career? Aside from the MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG film which is filming for the next decade or so he only has one film short slated for release. He had theDEAR EVAN HANSEN film in 2021. A supporting role in some obscure AmazonPrime film titled THE PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING in 2022, and then THEATER CAMP in 2023. That, my friend, is not considered a film career. That’s called appearing in films. When you have 3 films coming out in the same year, and 2-3 lined up for the following year, THEN you can safely assume you have a film career."

That reminds me of what Nathan Lane said when Harvey Weinstein threatened him: "You can't hurt me, I don't have a film career"

Got tickets in the rear orchestra so we'd be in the "Sing out, Louise" zone. 

I was at the May 4 matinee and Jessica was on.

Did anyone see Tasha Lawrence as Phyllis?

Agreed, my mom loved A Beautiful Noise but hated Tommy

I was a puddle on the floor after this one. Rachel is great and her co-stars all get standout moments. I thought it deserved a scenic design nomination as well.
