I was fortunate enough to see the show at the end of preview week, a night or two before it opened, and it was anamazing experience!"

A bit off topic, but my best friend from college lived next door to Frank Langella during his run in Dracula.   As a surprise for my 21s

Does Taylor Swift and big pop stars charge less when they are not playing NYC?"

Honestly I was shocked when we moved from NY to Huntsville, AL at the prices that are charged for shows in Nashville, Huntsville, and Birmingham.  All of the theaters are huge barns with terrible acoustics.  I

Having seen both with the original cast, I will say at the time "A Chorus Line"  was innovative and compelling.  It sucked you in and didn't let you go till the lights faded on the kick line.  "Chicago" was fun and exciting and the dancing (like "Pippin") with the score I think made the show.  I will say, I think "Chicago" even in its current striped down form is a better show overall currently.  "ACL" needs to be

OMG! I also heard this AND I heard Boop will be a revival forthe 2027 season directed by Jamie Lloydwith either Nicole or Audra as Betty. Isn't that

I love “Gypsy” and have seen it on Broadway with Bernadette, Patti and Audra.  Patti is still my favorite on stage.  But I still think Bette Midler in the 1993 filmed version is my favorite and would have loved to have seen her do it live.  At that time it was a big hit and event for tv.  The film received an 18.6/28 household rating/share, ranking 4th out of 90 programs that week, and was watched by 26.2 million viewer.  What I will say is we took a 21 ye
