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

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!

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

And you can even see it on a Tuesday night where you'll be supporting Mandy Gonzalez AND Tom in his boxer briefs. And producers might see demand increased on those nights, and the moment having Nicole Make "Jesus" Great Again Scherzinger in the cast harms their wallets but

The fact that the top issues of a woman's right to choose and the possibility of overturning same-sex marriage law doesn't seem to bother MAGAs is why Dems are so angry right now. These are two hot topics that MAGAs really don't seem bothered by. So when a celebrity likes something in relation to him andyou're clearly working in a place surro

2025 Presidency and Entertainment Industry Nov 6

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"

Rich entertainers and producers, yes. Most actors and technicians are living paycheck to paycheck without the help of their families. In a world where labor protections are weakened, those with the means to afford the rent will continue to do art, and those without will find work elsewhere."

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

Connelly Theatre Suspends Operations Oct 22

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.

MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway Casting Thread Oct 16
2024, 10:08:32 AM
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.

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.
