The ratio of tickets sold to cost to hire must have been favorable enough for producers to want to do it again.

Oh remember the days of the Mr. Broadway competition which ended up getting sued by that guy who trademarked that as a descriptor of himself? It's why I still won't subscribe to BroadwayHD

Hey Mods... So if Nicole's publicly available political likes and such are fair game for such conversation can I post every Trump / GOP supporting person in the industry's political donation history? Trust me there's a lot!

Sunset Blvd Petition "

Oh come on. 1) Change.org petitions don't do anything ever. 2) Everyone has the right to vote and campaign for the candidate they want, 3) this is just childish 

To quote the Jesus Christ Superstar film, "They've got what they want. They think so anyway. If he's what they want, why take their toy away? He's a craze."

 

Or maybe another Tim Rice lyric is more appropriate, "Things have reached a pretty pass when someone pretty lower-class, graceless and vulgar, uninspired, can be accepted and admired"

Sadly pretty common in this day and age

This is not a trailer, it is a promotional video. Words have meanings. Just like a cast album is not a soundtrack.

Is therea theater in Manhattan/NYC that caters to conservative religious folks? There's probably a market for it."

Not since Laura Osnes moved to Tennessee 

Kad said: "The theater’s landlord, the archdiocese of NY, in recent weeks has begun heavily scrutinizing scripts of potential renters of the theater, leading to several productions having to relocate and the theater’s current GM and director to resign. The Connelly as a result has ceased operations.


Here is a gift link from The NY Times with the full details."

I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier. Landlords 100% have the right to dictate what happens in the buildings they own and ensure it reflects their values.

Good Night & Good Luck supposedly has the Winter Garden, which makes sense for the draw of Clooney. Back to the Future is absolutely hemorrhaging money right now and can't possibly last into the new year

Saw it today and found myself thinking fondly of Daniel Fish’s Oklahoma throughout the production. Fish took risks but still honored the text. Jamie Lloyd only honored his ego 

My question is if we're ever going to get appropriate casting for Toulouse-Lautrec. This ablest revisionism in casting is frankly disgusting and why I won't see the show. He's a real person and his disability was a crucial part of his identity. Casting able-bodied people in the role is inappropriate.

The pool table (IYKYK) and final sequence in Black Watch. Those have stayed with me for years now

There should be an age limit and that age should be 0. Stage dooring needs to end. Nobody wants to be harassed by customers on their way home from work. 

TheatreMonkey said: "There are two Michael John LaChiusa musicals that have always fascinated me -- both of which I would love to see done again. Even though it certainly has its issues, I find much of the score ofMarie Christineto be ravishing -- especially the first act. I've often thought there's so much promise to the piece that a revisal could bring it to a higher level -- if even a concert production in conjunction with a forward-thinking opera company.
