This is a reference to another thread, btw. I haven't lost my mind (yet)."
No -- I heard that they just signed Gavin MacLeod for the role."
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but he died a few days ago."
And Bernie Mac has been dead for over a decade. It’s a joke.

A new revival production of West Side Story, directed by Ivo van Hove and featuring brand-new choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, starts previews at the Broadway Theatre on December 10th, with an official opening on February 6, 2020.
I figured we should start fresh with a new thread for those who are attending previews. Who's going?

Unrelated to the actual show (which I’m enjoying immensely thus far) but it’s been a long time since I’ve watched commercials on a children’s channel and were they always this intolerable?

I do think Jordan will be great at this role. I don't consider him a stunt cast since he has theater experience already but certainly one of the bigger names they've had in the cast. He will probably only do 6 shows a

Well, I'm glad that Andy Karl is finally leaving an original role because his contract is up and not because the show's closing.

Brantley review for the Times. Loves Brightman and the scenic design but is meh on everything else. Not a pan, but not a Critic's Pick.

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME Regional Production
Mar 17
2019, 10:49:28 PM
To me, Curious Incident seems like the kind of show that really hinges on the performance of the actor playing Christopher. It wouldn't necessarily surprise me if an actor who isn't up to snuff can drag down the whole evening. That said, regional productions vary wildly in quality and I wouldn't necessarily get too worked up yet.

BE MORE CHILL (Broadway) Reviews
Mar 11
2019, 04:18:25 PM
Jordan, yes, if it's very close (can't remember the exact cutoff) there can be 5 nominees. The last time that happened was 2016, when Hamilton, School of Rock, Bright Star, Shuffle Along, and Waitress were nominated.
As for the featured actor debate, I'm still putting my money on George Salazar. Michael is the showier role of the two and I bet anything they want to perform Michael in the Bathroom on the Tonys, being that it's the signature song.
